Forever is a lie. He was sat in front of me- his eyes fixed on the ground, yet I could see them filling with tears. I couldn't help, but be drawn towards him. "You said we were forever Jake." I whispered, holding up the promise ring I'd just slid off my finger. He looked up and dragged his palms across his eyes- to wipe away the tears. "Y/N I didn't want to do this..." Then I realised, I was never his 'type'.

Jake is naturally beautiful- his blonde hair and brown eyes were a killer for all girls. His face looked like it was carved by gods- he had a gorgeous body. He was sweet, loving, carefree and his work ethic was contagious. His smile lit up a room and he had the most incredible talent- being himself. He was able to portray himself as he really was. He didn't fake for YouTube, he didn't pretend he was someone he wasn't.

"Y/N?" He said loudly, I was snapped out of my thought. "Yeah sorry what did you say?" I asked, wiping the sudden tears off my cheeks. "I was saying that you weren't listening. Clearly..." He muttered. "Alright Jake...I get it. You've fallen out of love with me. You don't need to rub it in. You can get out now." I said. He tried to speak. "I said get out...now." I repeated firmly, he turned around and walked out- slamming the door behind him. I fell to the ground and sobbed. Rocking back & forth, I held my knees up under my chin. I held my legs tightly.

I went downstairs to get a glass of water, Jake was in the corner- it sounded like he was crying. He was talking to Chance, Anthony, Kade & Chad. Mackenzie came over. "Hey are you okay babe?" She asked, rubbing my arm. I swallowed my tears. "I don't really wanna talk Kenz, but thankyou." I smiled.

Anthony:

Y/N went back up to her room and Jake wiped his eyes. "I've fucked up, I mean at least I feel like I have. But, then part of me knows it's right..." He cried. I squeezed his shoulder. "She's your girl bro. Don't lose her unless you think it's really worth it." Chance said. The others came over. "She's shut down Jake. Just like she did when her brother died. It's like it's happening all over again. I can see the signs." Erika said rubbing the back of her neck. I felt guilty. I was pushing my soulmate back to her dark, dark hole again. But, when you're in love- you have to do what's best. And what's best for both of our happiness. We argue a lot. A lot, a lot. Our work brings us together, yet pushes us so far away from each other.

We met 4 years ago in L.A at our mutual friend (Amanda Cerny's) party. I instantly fell in love with the thought of her. Amanda introduced us and we hit it off. She was beautiful, hardworking, persevering, kind, funny, caring, loving...the list goes on. I asked her on a date on Valentines Day (cliché is the way) and asked her to be my girlfriend. That's all it took. One date, to fall so deeply in love with the girl I thought I'd love for the rest of my life. We've been together for about 3 and half-4 years. I gave her a promise ring for our 3 year anniversary, the stage before proposal. I pictured the rest of my life with Y/N...I still do. My mind is a mess, I'm confused and all I'm sure of is she's the love of my life.

Y/N:

I ended up going out with Mackenzie and Alex to the shops to get some more coconut water. I'd been stuck inside the walls of my bedroom for the last 5 days. I needed to leave the house. I'd moved into one of the spare rooms the night we broke up. I got a new double bed and decorated it all to distract myself in the first 24 hours of the breakup. Then, I locked myself in my thoughts for the next four days. I cried..and cried..and cried...and cried until I made myself sick, which made me cry more. I felt like my world was crumbling around me.

We got out and the paps were there. My channel, social media's and appearances had suddenly stopped. Someone had spotted me walk past in one of Jake's vlogs without the ring. I swallowed my tears and put my massive sunglasses on to cover the huge bags under my eyes, the puffiness and my bloodshot eyeballs. Alex walked in front and Mackenzie behind. "Y/N HAVE YOU AND JAKE BROKEN UP?" I felt a tear escape my eyes, I looked to the ground and tried to walk as fast as I could.

We got back and I went up to my room, the pap video had gone viral. I had to address it. I quickly text Jake. 'Making a post about the breakup.' I opened my notes and started typing;

I'm sorry I didn't announce this earlier- I'm sorry I ignored the questions. Yes. Jake and I have broken up. This is a private heartbreak that we're both trying to deal with. I'm still in Team 10 and we're trying to salvage a appropriate relationship following this. I thank you all for your continued support and concern for me. I love you all. I'll be back as soon as I feel ready.

I posted it on all my socials and the influx of support was overwhelming. I sat on my bed and took it all in. I walked to my bathroom and took the promise ring off my jewellery box, I pulled out a 'memory' box from under my bed and got the Pandora box- I popped it in, into the huge cardboard box and pushed it under my bed. I stood in front of my mirror, let my hair out of my messy bun and looked at myself. "You can do this." I whispered, I wiped my eyes and grabbed my laptop. I was ready.
