(A/N~ There will be a few time skips and a lot going on as I felt things were moving kinda slow and it felt out of place. Buckle up for this chapter!)

Lizzie's Pov

I paced around the kitchen and called Robbie yet again, as I had been since I woke up and realised he wasn't here.

Tears streamed down my face, engraving themselves on my stinging skin.

Had he left me?

Does he still love me?

What if he doesn't love me?

Keys jingled in the lock of the front door and I almost sprinted towards it. I skidded round the corner to be met with a dishevelled Robbie emerging and closing the door behind him, not realising I was there.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I yelled as I wiped the tears from my face only for them to be replaced.

His head shot up to look at me "Babe I'm sorry I had a few drinks after work and I didn't want to drive so I crashed at the guys' apartment" He defended.

I scoffed "Oh the work where you definitely have a job at?"

His eyes widened and his mouth opened but I continued speaking "Not the work that you got fired from months ago?"

Again he opened his mouth, but no sounds came out.

I laughed humorlessly, in shock at his lack of trying to worm his way out of the situation like he normally tries to do.

"We are getting married in less than two weeks!" I raised my voice at him "And you choose to do this?!"

"Then why are you still here" He asked calmly, his voice monotone

"What?" I replied with my voice cracking

"Why are you still here. With me" He repeated, the same monotone level

"Because-" I stuttered but I couldn't form a single sentence no matter how hard I tried.

He smiled "See that's your flaw. Your hamartia if you will; you love me too much."

He slowly stepped towards me, his voice dropping almost to a whisper "No matter how much I fuck up, how shitty of a person I am, how many times we fight, you'll always come running back to me. You're hooked."

A lone tear fell from my tired eyes and I dropped my gaze to the ground, ashamed to look him in the eyes.

"I just want to make my family proud" I whispered

"I'll see you at the altar Elizabeth" He said walking past me and up the stairs leaving me with no more tears to shed.

~Time Skip- A Week~

Y/N's Pov

One week. 7 days. 168 hours until Lizzie married him. I puffed out a breath as my body woke up, rolling over and picking up my phone.

I was surprised to see Lizzie's name displaying a string of texts from her so I unlocked my phone and read the messages.

Lizard:

I'm sorry about everything
I don't want our entire friendship lost because of one thing
I still want you at my wedding
I completely understand if you don't want to be there as I've been so shitty
Please text me back, even if it's telling me to fuck off forever so I know you're alive
