Another love- Raphael

You and Raphael had broken up several of months ago, and after days of endless crying and months of just feeling numb you had thought you had finally gotten over him.

You had decided it was time for you to get out there again, and had asked Izzy to help arrange a date for you.

She had been ecstatic and had told you just a couple of days after about this guy, Adam, that she thought was perfect for you. She had arranged for you to meet him and you had, and to your surprise the two of you had hit it off, and now 4 months later you were official.

Your friends were so happy for you, and you were happy as well, but you couldn't help but think back on your relationship with Raphael sometimes.

You were just hit with flashbacks at random times, like when you had spent late nights in the kitchen cooking together, and swaying along to the music playing on the radio.

You looked at the kitchen island with a faraway look in your eyes, cradling the coffee cup in your hands, smiling sadly at the memory.

You don't even remember where the two do you went wrong, you were so happy together and then suddenly you were not a we anymore.

You wondered how he was doing, if he was happy?

You jumped when your phone suddenly started ringing, and you reached for it shocked when you saw the caller id.

"Raph?" You said as you brought the phone to your ear.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called" Raphael said the second he heard your voice.

You sat up straight in the chair. "Don't hang up" you said. "It's nice hearing your voice"

"I heard you have a boyfriend now" Raphael said a bit tentatively.

You bit down on your bottom lip and nodded, before you realised he couldn't see you. "Yeah, his name's Adam"

"Mundane?"

"Shadowhunter"

The line went silent for a while and all you could hear was Raphael's breathing on the other end of the line.

"Does he treat you right?"

You felt tears well up in your eyes, suddenly feeling very emotional. "He does"

"That's good"

You glanced over at the kitchen island again and smiled when the memory you had just relieved came back to you.

"Do you remember when you tried to teach me flamenco?"

Raphael let out a hearty chuckle.

"You were terrible at it"

You laughed as you leaned back in your chair.

"We did have a lot of fun didn't we?"

"We did, I do miss it sometimes" Raphael said with a sigh.

"Me too, where did we go wrong, Raph. We were so happy"

"I don't know, maybe it just wasn't meant to be"

You felt tears spring up in your eyes and you sniffled lowly.

"I will always love you, [Y/N], but if it was meant to be this wouldn't have been the outcome"

You suddenly heard the door to your flat open and when you turned your head you saw Adam enter. He smiled and waved as he kicked his shoes off.

"I have to go"

You said bye to Raphael and stood up to greet Adam, sighing as he wrapped you up in his arms.

You knew Raphael was your old love and Adam was your new one, but it still hurt to lose someone you loved so dearly.
