The next morning you woke up with a pounding headache, It was expected especially after how much you allowed yourself to drink last night.

The memories of the night before fled back into your mind no matter how hard you tried to stop them. You checked the time, it was 12:45 p.m. 

You usually never allowed yourself to sleep in that late, but because of your lack of sleep last night, it was a bit inevitable that you'd need extra rest. You checked your phone and were met with tons of notifications. 

Thomas 

y/n. I'm not interested in talking. 

I will be getting my stuff from your place later today. 

Don't expect to hear from me after. 

Great. Clearly, things weren't going to fix themselves with Thomas. 

He was hurt, and it was all because of you. Every bit of pain that he was feeling was because of you and you felt like a terrible person because of it. You felt yourself begin to tear up but slowly stopped as you realized that it just made you feel more pathetic.

You 

I am terribly sorry for how I acted. 

I understand though that you don't want to see me. 

I'll try and get everything together to make it easier for u. 

You began to search through your apartment to collect what you knew was Thomas's. 

You took the sweaters out of your closet that he had left there and some that he had left for you because of how much you had liked the way they looked on you. You found his toothbrush that he had left there as well, you weren't sure if he would want it back, but you added it to the collection anyway, you definitely didn't want it to stay at your place. 

There were some food items that he had bought and you decided to give them to him too, it's not like you severely needed them anyway. Most of it was food that you didn't even like anyway. 

He didn't have a lot at your place, but you were sad to see it go along with him. It was mind-blowing to you how quickly things were able to change. Just a week ago you and Thomas were sitting on the couch talking about moving in together and plans to go on vacation. 

Now you were putting his things into a box and going back to the sad life of living on your own. 

All of it was because of your dumb situation with Weston. 

2 hours had passed and you were sitting in your room just scrolling through tiktok. You heard the door open and knew that it had to be Thomas, you thought about going out to greet him, but you figured that if he wanted to see you, he would've texted you. 

You left all of his stuff on your kitchen counter, so you figured he must've seen it when he walked in. You weren't sure if he wanted to talk to you or not, you know he told you that he didn't in his text message, but you were shocked that he didn't even want to talk to you at all, that he didn't even want to hear what you had to say. 

A couple of minutes passed by and you heard the front door slam. 

He left. 

That was it, your relationship with Thomas was now over, all the friends you had made through him would obviously take his side and you had no room to judge them for doing so. 

You were completely and utterly single. 

So why was a part of you kind of relieved?
