'Chelsea star Mason Mount, 23, spotted about with mystery brunette, as he friends claim he has quickly moved on from childhood sweetheart, (y/fn)!'

"What the hell...?" You mumble, as your eyes skimmed over the articles you promised yourself you'd never get to attach to! No matter how many times you read it over or seen the pictures, it just wouldn't sink in!! It had only been barely a month since he dropped the news of your breakup upon you, one rainy Tuesday night! Claiming that it wasn't working out for him at the minute... and he needed time to work on himself...!

"I guess a month was enough for him, eh?" You bitterly spat to your best friend, Tara, as she immediately pulled you in her arms. Not needing you to explain anything, with the pictures already gracing her twitter feed! "Fuck him!" Tara scoffed, turning your phone off for you "He didn't deserve you anyway!!"

That phrase had spiralled back and forth from your friends mouths for the pass months... & I guess they have a point! You were only kids when you met... barely 13 years old! Neither of you not really knowing the full meaning of love until you were 17 years old!!... and know that love has disappeared... well on his half anyway!!

"I'm just so confused..." Switching the article back on, your eyes couldn't tear away from the one particular picture of Mason & the mystery girl... he had his arm tightly wrapped around her waist as they walked in the rain together! But the one thing that killed you more than anything else... was his smile!! The very smile he looked at you once with... the same smile that told you were his forever... his one and only!

"(Y/n)..." Your friend spoke cautiously, your gaze falling back to her "What about the house...?"

The house...? How could you forget about the house!! The house you surprised him with last summer when you moved all the way from your home in Spain to be near him! Just for him to break your heart into a thousand different pieces, less than a year later!

Anger flooded inside you as you remembered all the sacrifices you had made for him! Moving all the way from your home country to be closer to him just for him to pack up and leave... Quickly jumping up, you grabbed your phone and keys "Where are you going?"

Not looking back at your friend, you gritted your teeth "I'm selling the house... It's time to get rid of him once and for all..."

-------------------------------

Less than a week later, the house was ready to be sold. Spending countless hours boxing up the last of your belongings to be moved into your new flat! "What are you going to do with this??" Your best friend quizzed, holding up one of Masons old jersey, along with a bunch of hoodie "You sending them back to him, or are we just going to put them in the dump pile..."

Not taking much notice, you sighed "I guess if he needed them he would of already been for them right now...just pop them in the charity box, it will make someone happy!"

"& were done!!!!" she cheered, throwing the last of the items in the box "You ready to celebrate tonight....?" It had been ages since you attended the girls night out, finding it hard to be in a room with a bunch of strangers looking for love when you just lost the one! Taking a deep breath, you nodded finally feeling ready to let your hair down and celebrate being a newly single woman..

And it didn't take you much time to do just that....! The second the smell of cheap booze and the vibrations of overly hyped up songs hit you, your body enlightened! A new feeling to the one you had felt over the past couple of weeks washed over you as you danced away with a bunch of strangers you'll most likely never meet again!! "I think that's enough for you now!" Your friend chuckled as you chugged your 7th shot in the last hour! "You told me to relax!!!" You yelled over the music, drunken body hanging back over the bar as you called back to the concerned bartender "I'll have another 4 please!!" "Please (y/nn)... lets just go sit down yeah? Have some water..." Ignoring her pleads you grabbed her hand, pulling her to the middle of the room as the loud speakers vibrated across the floor "Sitting downs is for losers Tar..." You slurred, taking your hair out of your ponytail "I'm finally getting over him... I thought you'd be happy for me...."

Tara froze at your comment as reality hit her....! She's seen you happy before... plenty of times without alcohol in your system...! You didn't need a night out and a new flat to bring your old self back...

You needed him!

"Where are you going?..." You groaned, stomping your foot childishly as Tara slipped out of the crowd... "Just gonna catch with an old friend... stay here!" Listening to her for the first time that night, you stayed put! Finding several more strangers to dance upon as any trace of clear memory went out of view!

It wasn't till 30 minutes later she came back, eyes growing wide as she found you on top of a brunette in one of the little side booths... another drink it hand as you left small kisses across his jaw. Tara looked beside to her old friend, giving him an concerned look of 'I told you so' as she sighed "Sorry to interrupt you two... but I think it's time we get going (y/nn)!" patting your shoulder gently to get your attention...

"Can't you see I'm busy Tar-" Your stuttering words came to a stop as you looked to mason beside her "What is he... doing... here!" Mason flinched at the disgust in your voice, taking in the sight of the (y/n) he'd never seen before! Your eyes lost with alcohol, a tight hugging dress you'd probably of never even looked at before...

"This isn't you (y/n)..." Mason sighed, reaching out to help you stand as you unsteadily stood, leaving your new male friend, confused on his own. "Oh yeah... who am I mason...?" You hissed, for a slight moment sober... Taking his silence as your queue you sat back down next to your new companion, drunkenly pulling him in for a kiss causing Masons blood to run cold...

"(y/nn) please..." He sighed, once again putting his hand on your shoulder in attempt to get your attention back to him "Lets just talk about this like adults... before we both do things we regret..."

His words struck your attention as you pulled away from the kiss harshly "TALK LIKE ADULTS HUH?" you yelled catching the attention from other party goers, standing up a little bit to quickly as the alcohol in your system caused you to wobble "How has it been working on yourself eh Mason?... Did find some inner peace with hooking up with some random bimbos every night??"

"Don't try and point out my choices when you've literally just had your tongue down a strangers god damn throat?!?"

"This is always like you...?" You hissed, eyes filling with a mix of anger and tears "Always counterattacking someone else's actions instead of looking back at yours...."

"Your literally a hypocrite right now.... can't you see you did the sam-"

"No...!" You interrupted, jabbing a finger in his chest "It's not the same because I loved you... Apart of me still does... but you broke me...You hurt me... While you were out 'working on yourself'... I was too busy trying to find myself after you left me with a broken heart for weeks! Do you know how hard it was to come here tonight... how hard it was to forget you existed... to tell my family that after years of being together we broken up for a reason I couldn't even understand... But the fact is the end of 'us' didn't hurt you... it didn't break you..."

Mason tried to object your broken words, guilt boiling inside of him as he realised your rambled words weren't drunken thoughts... they were the sober truth.. "(Y/n)-"

"But they killed me..." You croaked, eyes filling with tears as you went to walk away...

"Wait..." Grabbing your hand to stop, turning you back round pitiful "I loved you... I always will... don't think I'm not still hurting..."

"But just not enough to keep it in your pants until the girl you broke has healed without having to see you plastered on the news with a girl 10x better than her..." You whispered harshly, causing him to flinch at how direct your words were "But Así es la vida, sí...."

With that your turned away, practically running out the door leaving your friend to try and chase after you... You knew he didn't understand what you had just told him... but he knew that what ever it was, was meant to hurt him....

and it did just that!
