I knew it, I know you

He was talking about you

Gracie POV

He sent me thousands of messages, and I cried thousands of tears. I continued to hurt him every day. In the last few months, Albert never stopped sending me messages, trying to make things right, apologizing to me, and sending letters to my door every day. All of them were hidden in the back of my closet. I read them every night, trying to imagine Albert in front of me. It didn't work, I had forgotten his voice. I forgot his touch and his influence over me. Our last meeting was still in my head. I lied to him about everything. I told him I didn't love him, but the truth was I was able to die for him. I was causing him this pain to protect him. I had the time of my life with him. I wanted nothing more than for him to be okay. My heart stopped when he showed up at my apartment after the crash. I wanted to hug him, kiss him, tell him everything. Instead, I stood there staring at the ground. He never gave up on me... until now. I stood in front of my TV with Taylor next to me. She had her arm around me, and I leaned on her shoulder. My eyes were burning.

The only place I could see Albert now was the small screen. I watched his every show, celebrated every trophy he won. Now it was his night. It was awards night. He should have been there with me, not Sophie. Now I was watching him hold hands with her. She with a blue dress painted across her body and he in a designer suit perfectly complementing her look. I had to be there, I had to be with him. To hold his hand, to be by his side. Everything that was happening was for the best, but it hurt. It hurt me to look at him with her. We couldn't even spend more time together, I couldn't show him that I loved him. I... still love him.

-'Gracie...' Taylor whispers.

I nod my head and return my attention to the event. Many models walked the red carpet, the event started with the opening artist, which was Sophie. I hate her.

, "The award for male model of the year goes to... Albert Christian."- the host yells Albert's name. I immediately stand up and shake Taylor's hand.

-"He won. - I smile widely.

I watched him get on stage and accept the award, and then they handed him the microphone. Now I noticed he had cut his hair short and started letting his beard grow.

"I would like to thank all the companies I have worked and continue to work with, to all my fans and friends who never stopped supporting me. I want to thank my family. "Albert takes a breath. - "Life is full of different shades of Gray. I want to thank the person who came out of the blue like that and made me who I am now. Don't go down without a fight. "

My face froze. I know who he's talking about. Tears fell from my eyes.

-He was talking about you. - Tay immediately turned off the TV and hugged me.

-Taylor... he used...

-I know.

Taylor wrapped her arms around me. I was sobbing on her shoulder, and she was trying to calm me down.

-'I want him back.

-You chose this, Gracie. You still have time to fix things.

I shook my head. All was lost. I couldn't do anything. I continued my relationship with Charlie, Chris continued to threaten me every day. All I could do was cry every day and fight the urge to run out to Albert.
