Nathan Sykes #imagine - Don't let go

A/N: Just going to pick a random name for the character.

Arlene's POV

It's painful isn't it, to watch someone you love feeling the same for somebody else? It's Difficult to watch them everyday acting completely smitten by each other and completely in love.

That was my life everyday. Looking at those magazines, those newspapers, those tabloids! All they had was Nathan Sykes and latest girlfriend enjoying their summer together. Just seeing her in his arms, seeing him kiss her broke my heart into little shards. I felt lonely, isolated and empty inside. It felt like my whole world was just crumbling in front of my eyes. I couldn't go back to him and tell him that I still loved him!

I knew Nathan ever since we were tiny little idiots. We fought all the time, argued over the silliest of things, picked on each other everywhere we went! Basically we were a nuisance as a pair. But as we started getting older, it was safe to say that we liked each other for our foolishness. We fell in love with each other for who we were.

We were together for almost 5 years! 5 is a small number when you think about it, but 5 years was a huge span of time. Those 5 years were the best years of my life. We were so fond of each other and so passionate about each other. We never knew that there would be an end to that. Ever.

But that moment came when we called it quits. He told me he never loved me. He spat venomous words at my face and I watched him walk out of my door. The worst part was, I waited for him to return everyday, to walk through that door again. But he never came.

I locked myself up in my room. Kept myself in solitary for months. I didn't want to see the world if I wasn't seeing it with him. It was like a huge change in my life that I wasn't ready to accept. I wanted things to be normal, but they never were.

My friends helped me recover from the terrible trauma I was going through and that terrible phase of my life. And eventually, I did come out of it. But there was still a part of my heart that was missing and I wanted back so bad. I wanted him to be mine again. Forever.

Max, his bandmate, was also one of my closest mates. He always visited me whenever he came to England. I heard from somewhere that their band was soon going to leave to America for a tour and some promos. Max called me up to tell me that he will be seeing me before he left and I was as delighted as he was.

He always keeps telling me that Nathan still loves me, but I wasn't having any of that.

If I had to believe that, I would hear it from Nathan. No one else. But he was too busy with his new bird to be worried about me.

One evening, I was lazing around my flat, reading a book when the doorbell rang. I never expected any visitors so I was a little surprised. I slowly walked to the door and opened it only to see Max standing there with a smile. He pulled me into a warm hug and I hugged him back. I was still shocked about why he never called before he came.

"Heyya." He said as he felt my ear. I giggled and invited him in.

"Should've called. I would have made you dinner!" I told him.

"That's no worry babe. What you up to?" He asked as he plonked onto the couch.

"Err Nothing. Just reading a book." I told him as I sat down opposite him. "What brings you here tonight?" I asked.

"Nothing. Just bored and I thought I'd come and see ya."

"Great." I chuckled.

"How have you been recently?" He asked.
