Lost Love

Chapter 21

The farewells exchanged maybe the last thing said between them...

That night, in both Leah and Holly's eyes, was the definition of perfect. Every second was faultless. Holly left Leah on a high, happy for what was to come. Well, for the moment in time.

Holly went into the kitchen, to make a cup of tea and sit and watch Love Island. It's one of them shows that are a guilty watch, they're so bad but so addicting!! The tea was poured into her favourite mug, a baby blue knitted pattern. Baby blue was Leah's favourite colour, which meant Holly's mug was stole from her when Leah visited. She burned her finger slightly from the tea, a small blister formed on her pinky.

Before Love Island began, Holly reminisced and basked in the memories from earlier that night. The happiness that was brought back just from the memories caused her to smile for a few minutes straight. She was truly in love with Leah, the most she's ever been in her life. As the iconic love island jingle played in the background, Holly scrolled through instagram. She liked to take the time to reply to DMs from fans. It was repaying them for everything they do for her and the team. As her finger scrolled downwards through messages on messages, her eyes caught and stared at one in particular.

"I don't want to be the one to tell you but Lucy and Leah were caught extremely close together at a bar together. Leah was also flirting with me, I didn't flirt back. I just wanted to let you know. x

Reading the message made Holly's heart sink instantly, without even clicking on the photo. Once the courage was mustered to view the photo, it viewed Lucy holding Leah's head in her hands, looking like they were about to kiss. The picture was taken from a distance, so Leah doesn't know it's been photographed. The worst thing about it, Holly didn't feel sad. She felt angry. This is the second time Leah and Lucy have been caught together. Obviously was not the last either.

Holly had a plan. A petty plan for one, but a plan. She had bought Leah a card reading,

"The Best Girlfriend in The World"

She had also printed out the picture. Nothing was written inside the card, except for the picture which was glued inside the card. Holly did feel guilt, but more betrayal. She cried in the car the whole way over to Leah's house. It hurt more than she was letting on. Her trust with Leah had finally built back up, just to be broken straight back down.

"Hello baby, I've missed you"
Leah spoke, meeting Holly with a massive smile.

"I've got you something."
Holly said, trying to hold back tears.

Leah brought Holly into the sofa, where they sat beside each-other, closely.

"Baby you didn't have to do this."
Leah said, holding the card in both hands

"No. I didn't have to. But I really wanted to."

Leah opened the card and read the front. Her face lit up, just to to disappear as soon as the card was opened and looked at. Leah's eyes shot up at Holly, while a guilty looked slithered across her face.

"Holly. I.."
