Y/n POV:
After breakfast I told Joe I was going to central London to get a job.
If I was going to stay with Joe I needed to pay rent.
I tried at least 6 stores but there we no jobs available. I was about to go back to the flat when I spotted Starbucks. I loved Starbucks so it was worth a shot to try and get a job there.

The boss at Starbucks said there is a job available and I could start tomorrow!
The small coffee shop meant a lot to me because it's where me and Joe met.
I had a flashback to that day. I was crying into my hands. The bell rang and I looked up. But I didn't see Joe in my flashback, I saw Lucy.
It was no longer a flashback because Lucy was actually here. She was tall with long blonde hair, green eyes, she was absolutely stunning.

"Oh hey y/n!" She said as if we were friends. Even though it wasn't her fault I could never become friends with her.
"Have you seen Joe? We arranged to meet here today for our date?"
I was furious and she just grinned at me.
"No because he's not coming" I replied annoyed.
"Are you sure about that?" She laughed.
I wasn't sure at all. Lucy was probably right.
I pushed the door open and when I was about to storm out of the shop, she whispered in my ear "stay away from Joe."

I ran back to the flat, crying.
I started thinking to myself again.
I can understand why Joe likes her and not me.
Joe was just using me.
She's way prettier than me.
It's just a shame her personality doesn't match her looks. She didn't deserve Joe. But neither did I. Or maybe Joe doesn't deserve me. Joe deserves her.
I opened the door to our flat and ran downstairs past Joe. I ignored Joe asking if I was okay and what was wrong. I grabbed my bags and I ran back upstairs and before walking through the door I asked "why would you do this to me" through tears. I ran off before he could reply. "Y/n wait!" Joe said, I could hear him starting to cry.

I ran to the nearest hotel and booked myself in for a few nights.
This was the second time Joe was cheating on me and I'm thinking maybe when he kissed Lucy it wasn't an accident at all.
I flopped down on my bed crying.
I looked at my phone which was ringing, it was Joe, I had 10 missed calls and tons of texts reading "call me please."
I don't think I can forgive Joe a second time.

The girl in the photo is Lucy. Question- ship Lucy and Joe?
