Chapter 2: When Happiness Came Too Fast
The first few days felt unreal.
Everything was moving so fast, but I didn’t want to slow it down.
We were happy.
Not the quiet kind of happy but the loud, proud kind.
There was a relationship status on Facebook.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8SkAl4Pe9

And I made her my featured photo, like I wanted the world to know: This is her. I’m choosing her.
I didn’t care who saw it.
For once, I wasn’t hiding.
And neither was she.
Those days felt light.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPCjykt99v
We laughed easily.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreyvmc0OJc
We talked about random future plans like it was the most natural thing in the world.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dLC0eSXsZ
We acted like we had all the time there was.
But happiness that comes too fast sometimes carries something unfinished behind it.
Her ex.
They had just broken up.
And we… we happened right after.
He didn’t waste time.
He confronted us directly. No subtle hints. No waiting.
She was scared.
Not because she didn’t love me.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQJh62xrs7
Not because she wanted to go back.
But because she feared he might use her private moments—the things she had shared only with him—against her.
She didn’t know what to do.
And that’s when she called me.
It was the first time I ever heard her voice.
I froze.
It wasn’t just the sound of her words. It was everything behind them: fear, confusion, hesitation… and love.
“I… I don’t know what to do,” she said quietly.
Her voice trembled, but there was something stronger beneath it.
Then she said it.
“I choose you.”
My chest felt like it might burst.
I couldn’t stop smiling. I couldn’t stop shaking.
I was happier than I had ever been.
The kind of happiness that makes your heart race, your stomach flutter, and your mind go blank all at once.
I laughed. I whispered. I said her name over and over, even though she could already hear how happy I was.
It was like all the small butterflies, our late-night jokes, our silly memes, and the tiny “goodnights” we sent suddenly exploded into something bigger.
She chose me.
And I couldn’t believe it.
I wanted to hold that moment forever. I wanted to freeze time and live inside it endlessly.
Every fear.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b2WxiKC6i
Every doubt.60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbdF99RAl4
Every “what if.”
They disappeared in that instant.
She chose me.
And for the first time, I felt like maybe love could actually be this simple just two people choosing each other. No games. No waiting. No pretending.
Just us.
