Me and Leah returned from our paradise in what felt like hours. Our holiday flew by and we returned to England. We neglected planning our wedding for months until about 7 months after our return we finally started planning. I thought this would be fun and exciting like it is in the movies but it isn't. Leah has never shown an ounce of excitement yet. Intact she hasn't even touched me in weeks or showed any affection towards me. Initially, I thought it was because of her stressing over the euros coming up but they're months away. I'm confused at why she isn't herself anymore.

Tomorrow is Christmas eve meaning me and Leah are going to her parents but I don't want to go to her parents not knowing why she is being like this. So I decided tonight when she gets back ,from her final training session of the year ,I'm going to question it.

"Hi Le" I said as she walked in the door

"Hey" she replied as she texted on her phone
Okay, weird again

"So i was thinking tomorrow we go to the market before going to see your family. They have these really cute..." I stopped as I realised she wasn't even paying attention to me and was smiling at her phone

"And i was also thinking i fuck a lad before dinner aswell" I said

"Mhm yeah" she mumbled still attached to her phone

"Are you fucking kidding me Leah" I exclaimed as I stood up and took her phone out her hands

"Grace what are you doing give it back now" she exclaimed

"Not before you tell me whats got you so entertained these past few weeks that you dont even touch me or even bloody look at me. Oh and it's as if you forgot we're supposed to be planning our wedding" I shouted

"Grace your being dramatic. Come on, just give me my phone" she said

"What is it then. Or better yet who is it" I shouted again trying to get my answer

She didn't answer and instead just looked extremely guilty

"Leah. Please tell me that this is not what i think it is" I said

"Grace I.. I...I" she stuttered

"Im gonna open your phone and if I'm right we're done" I said

I opened her phone and my worst fear was right.

Olivia

Last night was something else Le. I can't wait to see you again Xx

I looked up to meet the eyes of the person I trusted more than anyone who now was the person who had broken me. I knew something was wrong but this I never would have thought it was this.

"Grace I'm so sorry please you have to under.."

"Last night? As in your night out with your mum. You lying peace of shit. I gave up everything for you and you ruin this, you ruin us for a one night stand."I shouted as I hit her multiple times with the newspaper
"Why do you still have that guilty look in your eyes" I shouted as she stood there

And it all made sense. Olivia wasn't a one night stand.

"Oh" I mumbled

"Grace you have to understand she means nothing to me it was a mistake. Im so sorry" she yelled after me as I ran up the stairs to pack some of my things quickly into a small suitcase

She followed me into the bedroom
"Grace what are you doing we can work this out. Just stop let's talk, please don't leave me."

"No but I do have one question" I said as I had my suitcase ready to go at the door as she had followed me down the stairs

"Grace please" she said as her voice broke and the tears fell. But they are nothing compared to the tears flowing down my face.

"You enjoyed it didn't you. You would have stopped otherwise. So clearly you enjoyed being with another woman" I said as I opened the front door

"Grace im so sorry" she cried out

"Your not even denying it Leah. I hate you so much right now for what you have done and we are over. I will never forgive you for this. Ever" I said as I slammed the door in her face and ran to my car.

I drove to a hotel nearby and sat in the parking lot as I cried.
"Fuck" I cried out as I punched the steering wheel multiple times

I booked myself into the hotel which would most likely be my home for the next few weeks until I left Arsenal in January to return to Spain.

AN: it's short sorry but it's all I have time for at the minute. My schedule is crazy at the moment. A longer chapter will be coming within the next week
