[16] You'll be just fine.

David's POV

5/9/22

I stand there, shocked by my outburst. This is so out of character for me. I feel the colour draining from my face...I feel like I'm going to pass out as I stare at this man in disbelief. This man who broke me in a matter of days.

"David, listen. I made a dumb mistake. I should never have broken up with you. Look where it lead to."

I just stare at him.

"Everything is probably telling you to walk away right now. So I understand if you do."

I can't even think logically. This man who I love so much...why the fuck did anything have to change what we had? I just wanted to be with him for the rest of both our lives.

"I just wanna stay..."

I'm such a hypocrite.

"Well, stay then."

"Simon, you know I can't." I cry, punching the wall in frustration.

Simon just looks at me. I look into his eyes, and I swear, I see his heart breaking.

"It's over, mate." I whisper, clenching my fists as I say the hardest words I've ever had to say.

Those words that I just said, they are ending my world.

This is never gonna change. I can't go back on my word. I can't come running back, when I realise I need him more than I have ever needed anything or anyone. I thought he was going to be the one to fix me...I didn't know it was going to end like this.

I wonder if he'll miss me as much as I'll miss him? I doubt it. I always get too attached. I'll never forget him.

"I can't do this, Simon."

I walk out of Simon's bedroom.

I pick up my phone and call Stephen.

No response.

I call Alesha.

No response.

I call Amanda, and after 3 rings, she picks up.

"David?" Amanda breathes, clearly quite relaxed. But then again, she sounds excited. Maybe she's waiting for a guy?

"Amanda, it's me. I just broke up with Simon-"

I am cut off by the muffled voice of another woman down the phone.

"Amanda, love, I've got a missed call from David. Could you call him for me please? I gotta shower." Alesha says, muffled by the distance.

Okay, I guess most of my friends are gay now.

"Sorry, David, what were you saying?"

"I just broke up with Simon, and I don't know what to do with myself."

"Okay, David, I don't have long. So here's my advice. Sorry, it's a tad bit rushed. Here you go: I know you loved him but it's over. It doesn't matter anymore, so put the phone away before you text him. I know it's never easy to walk away, but let him go, it'll be alright. It's gonna hurt for a bit of time, so bottoms up, and let's forget tonight. You'll find another and you'll be just fine, so let him go."

"Thanks Amanda."

"Good luck, David." Amanda hangs up the phone.

That was...interesting. But she's right.

It's over.

i am aware that this chapter is, quite frankly, awful. i have been trying to write it for a month or so now but i've been putting it off with other chapters, and other fanfics. so i do apologise for:
a) the shortness
b) the general rubbishness

so yh, but an actual good chapter coming soon. i swear.
