REECE'S P.O.V
I walked into me and y/n's shared flat after a long day at the studio. She looked up from her seat at the dining table, her eyes teary and glossed over.
"Y/n? What's wrong?" I asked, walking over. She turned away, I could tell something was wrong.
I sat beside her and reached for her hand. It was freezing to touch, and she pulled it away quickly.
"Is it something I've done?"
She shook her head and sucked a deep breath in.
"I-I made a d-dumb mistake," she muttered, her voice breaking and her body trembling. Her bottom lip began to quiver.
"The cigarettes on the counter weren't my friend's. They were your mate's."
My face went white as a sheet.
"I'm sorry, Reece, I-I can go if you like I'll do anyth-," she word-vomited.
"Stay. Let me sort this out."
I whipped out my phone and headed to the groupchat with Blake and George.
y/n cheated on me with Aaron...
b:
no!! she wouldn't, i swear
yep, she did
g:
i'm telling you reece you
have to walk away. i know
you love her but... it might be
over.
it pains me to say it, it really
does. it'll be alright.
I left him on read and put my phone down on the table.
"What messages did you send to each other?"
She showed me. It was precisely what I was sending to her at the start of our relationship.
2 years ago.
All thrown down the drain.
I didn't want to lose my temper. It'd only make her more upset, and it breaks me to see her like that, especially if I'm the cause.
God, this whole thing fucked me up.
Silence.
"I'm not made because you kissed him," I finally said, our eyes meeting. Hers were filled with hope. "It's the betrayal. I thought you loved me?!"
"Reece, I don't know what to say. I-I think I love him," she looked like she might cry again.
I choked.
George texted me.
i'm outside. come to the
pub with me and b, let's forget
all the drama x
omw down now,
tell b to pack the tissues x
"I'm going out with the boys. Whether or not I forgive when I get back is different."
We sped off in George's car. I needed to forget.
Bottom's up, and all that.
-
I rang my mum. I was sober, somehow. George and Blake told me I'd find someone new, that I'd be happy again. I chose to believe them for now.
I told her what happened. I wanted her to hug me. She told me, over and over again.
"It'll be alright."
