"happy new year" everyone yells. Some raising a glass and others kissing their partners and here I am just wishing that Reese was here. Going into 2017 with Reese would have been amazing. I mean I'm still with her but she's just not with me physically. Since she gave me the ring she's been distant and I'm not sure why. I have literally done nothing that would have upset her. She's been a lot busier with work as well. I thought she was using it as an excuse like last time and she's actually in her apartment but I checked and she's barely there.

I know she's not cheating because whenever I call her she's moving around carrying things and sometimes walking down the queue outside making sure everyone is okay. I just want to what's wrong or why she's been distant but every time I bring it up she says she's fine.

"happy new year" everyone yells and the crowd roars. Some raising a bottle of soda and others kissing their partners and here I am just wishing that Billie was here. Well that I could be around Billie. I'm currently working but at my own will. I've been taking peoples jobs and then paying them back so technically I am working pretty much for free. I just cant.

I knew my dad was gonna pull something and he did. Somehow he found out about the whole birthday and promise ring. Lets just say he wasn't happy. He didn't say how he found out but he just kept going on about what he said and how he is so close to posting that video. When Billie was preforming the next night I looked at the video. It was her confessing her love to me which I find it quite cute that he has it but then again I forgot in the moment that she isn't out to the public so he is basically threatening to out her.

He hasn't been in my life for god knows how many years and as soon as he enters it he cant help himself but make it fall apart. I was the happiest I have been in ages. Billie confessed her love, I had my dream job and I was coming down to see my mam but as soon as I found out my dad was going to be there everything changed. I knew he was going to pull a stunt like this yet I didn't prepare for it. I didn't even warn Billie about him. Like I could have mentioned how he mixes up peoples words to make them be seen in a different light but no nothing like that.

I now have a choice. One - break up with Billie, two - don't tell her and then let him ruin her career or three - I can tell her what happened but that will just cause problems. I'm actually going to have to break up with her. I promised myself that this year is going to be one of the happiest years being with Billie but now I'm not even 1 hour in and I have to break up with her. I don't want to hurt her. She's done nothing wrong to me. I would understand it if she's got a past of hurting people or she has hurt me but she hasn't. This is going to break her and its not like I can break up with her then disappear to another country she's going on tour in a couple of days and I'm still her security guard. In the contact that everyone signs it basically says that your the security guard for said person until they cancel with the company sooooooo.

I may as well get it over with. I know the longer I wait to do this the more worse my dad is going to retaliate and I cant let her loose the career she has always dreamed of. Pulling up my phone I text Billie asking if she can meet me. She's been busier recently with new friends she's made but mostly because I've been distant so she's been going out more. Instantly she replies

B <3
of course love. you want to come over?

I agreed and got in my car driving to her house. The whole drive I was debating whether to go with and break up with her and how I would do it. I just really don't want to do this. I turn left driving on her street and pull into her driveway. I look in the mirror and I look a mess. A complete and utter mess my mascara is smudged and rolling down my face and that's the least of it.

Walking up to the door I can feel my heart getting faster and faster. I knock the door and take a step back waiting for someone to answer. Finn opens the door and immediately brings me into a hug. I'm going to miss this. so much.

We pull out of the hug at the same time and Finn speaks up "she's in her room but I got to warn you she is with a couple of friends"

I nod and head down to her room. I cant do this. I could barely do this with her on her own but now she's got friends over I'm going to wait.

Walking into the room I knock on the door twice and I get bombarded with Zoe, Drew and bil jumping on me yelling my name. Once they all leave go. well all apart from Billie, I get introduced to everyone else. so there was Drew, Zoe, Isaac, James and Pierre. (they were the first names that came to mind). After shaking everyone's hand I sit by Billie hugging her being clingy. It will properly be the last time. I could tell that Zoe and Drew knew something was wrong but they stayed quiet.

A couple of hours later the boys left and Billie walked them out leaving Zoe and Drew alone with me. As soon as the door close and they heard footsteps walking away they both put their attention onto me. I couldn't help but breakdown. I instantly breakdown with my head in my hands sobbing. They both rush and over in shock. I was smiling and laughing a couple of minutes ago but now I'm crying. I can see why they are confused.

"I have to do it" I say sobbing

"do what"

"break up with Billie" The room went silent. I looked up to see Billie standing in the doorway. well fuck.
