————————

You and Austin had been dating for two years, you moved to Australia with him to get closer to his work. You would travel around the world to have him. Anything he wanted from you he could have. But lately he hasn't really been paying attention to you. He's filming all the time, but you never wanted to hold him back from his work.

One night you had called a crew member to ask how Austin was doing since he wasn't picking up. They said Austin finished filming hours ago and left already. You really knew he was cheating when a friend sent you a picture of Olivia and him kissing. You gave him everything you could, but it wasn't enough. He would come home late smelling like another woman, and got lazy with trying to hide it.

Before he left for work you wanted to really make sure you weren't getting something wrong and asked if you can come with him. He said yes and let you get ready. You tried to look as pretty as you could, while still being appropriate. Walking out of the house and getting in the car. After ten minutes of driving you got there.

As you got out you noticed that he stopped putting his hand on your thigh while driving, and opening the door for you. Your heart stung at the realization. Following Austin into the building and looking around. First place we stopped by was hair and makeup, I talked to him the entire time. I made jokes, told him how good he looked, and even talked to his stylist. He kept giving me short answers like "Yeah" and "Mhm" He was finally done so we went to the set. I already met Olivia when he started filming, but I wanted to say hi. Austin brought me with him to greet Olivia. She was gorgeous.

I would cheat on me with her if I could too.

We talked for a bit but the entire time it felt like they were keeping a secret from me. Like ya' know when your friends aren't telling you something and you can just feel it? Where you can sense the change in their behavior? That's exactly it.

I went to go sit on the seat that said "Elvis" on the back of it. Watching the scene they're doing closely, I start to see definite chemistry but thought nothing of it. Baz yells "Cut!" and they walk off the set together. Hand in hand. Looking at each other like teenagers in love. I feel eyes on me looking over in the direction I see Baz looking at me with sympathy in his eyes.

I look away, watching them turn the corner. I immediately get up to talk to Austin, once I turn the corner I see him and Olivia making out. Thankfully, they didn't notice me. So I just walk away. Looking for the exit as my eyes tear up. I begin to wish I never came.

I took an uber back home, and when I got to my room I grabbed a suitcase. Packing all my belongings. I left a few things that I could come pick up tomorrow and sit on the edge of the bed looking around. I start to cry uncontrollably. Feeling myself getting tired, I lay down and fall asleep on my side.

AUSTIN'S POV

I begin kissing Olivia, forgetting about the world. Hearing footsteps behind me but ignoring them. Not letting anything else distract me. I started having an affair with Olivia at the beginning of Elvis. We're not inlove or anything, but we just do this because I'm never at home so Y/N can never give me anything. Y/N and me used to have sex and really love each other but I got bored.

We get called back to finish a few scenes and after an hour it's time to go home. I completely forgot I came here with Y/N. Looking around trying to find her. Maybe she went home? I get in my car and drive back. Arriving, I walk upstairs into our shared bedroom. Looking at Y/N her face was covered with dried up tears. And there was a suitcase in the corner of the room.

Is she leaving me? I walk over to her, and notice she's clutching something in her hand. I softly grab her hand making sure not to wake her. I finally notice what's in her hands. It's a locket I gave her when we began dating. Inside it had a picture of us smiling.

The sudden realization of what I had thrown away months ago hit me. I took her for granted. I didn't even remember the last time I laughed with her. Memories of this morning came flooding in, how she sat with me for 2 hours trying to talk. I treated her terribly after she moved across the world to be with me. Just to have something with someone who had no actual feelings for me.

I shook her awake as she slowly opened her eyes, confused. "Why is there a suitcase?" I asked. Looking at the way she let out a soft yawn. Her long eyelashes fluttered and her eyebrows furrowed. "I'm leaving you." she said quietly as she stood up. Walking over to her bag. I feel a ping in my heart.

"I know you've been cheating on me, but I just didn't want to admit it to myself." She said looking down as tears began forming in her eyes. She walked over to me with her suitcase in her hand and with the other one she puts it on my face and says "I'll always love you, but I deserve better. I moved across the world for you and you simply can't stay faithful to me." I just stood there like an idiot. Hanging off of every word she said. I would never find someone who would go to the length she's gone to be with me.

I just look at her as she just stared at my lips. Knowing this is the last time she'll see them close. "You do deserve better, and I never stopped loving you. It was only sex with Olivia." She looked like that hurt her even more. A tear rolling down her face. She just looked me in the eyes one more time, and walked away.

2 YEARS LATER...
AUSTINS POV

We had finished up filming months ago and now I'm back in California. After Y/N I haven't dated anyone else who would put up with my busy schedule. As I was scrolling on my phone I see a post saying

"Austin Butler's ex, Y/N Y/L/N, engaged!"

Clicking the link, it's an entire article talking about her fiancé. I can't believe she found someone else.

I shouldn't have taken her for granted.
