To: Theo: *picture sent*

To: Theo: Just got my bachelor's degree!! Say hello to a registered nurse!x

I had sent him a selfie of me with the necklace he had given me visible, as well as the engagement ring thanks to my fingers being in a peace sign. I was smiling widely.

He didn't reply until late in the evening, whilst I had sent the messages around midday.

From: Theo: Congratulations, I wish I'd been there for the ceremony! Look at you, so pretty. If I used emojis I'd use the heart eyed one x

To: Theo: But you use the heart emoji?

From: Theo: True, but only with you. I have to go, love. We'll talk later xx

Last weekend with him and Anne had been amazing, but then it was back to reality.

Having just begun studying for a master's degree, my schedule was even more hectic and busy, as was his.

We still texted and called whenever possible, but not as often as we had during the first few weeks of him living in another country.

With studies and work taking even more of my time and effort than usual, as weeks went by it was continuously harder to have long conversations with him.

The first few sets of rumours Theo had been quick to clear up with me, assuring me that they weren't true.

With the latest one though, which was a photo of him supposedly with yet another Spanish model, I had received no 'it's photoshopped' or 'just a rumour, I love you' text.

I felt terrible as our contact was slowly fading. Of course, we were both busy and I completely understood it, but it felt as if all my original fears were slowly becoming true and I found myself over-thinking about us all too much.

What if the rumour of him and that Spanish model was true? What if he had found someone else?

I assured myself it wasn't like that, but another week passed of him not mentioning it at all to me. I didn't have the heart to bring it up, talking to him being the only thing that mattered in the moment. I also did have a bubbling and growing fear it was true.

From: Theo: I don't know if I miss you enough to have drank, or if I drank enough to miss you x

It was extremely late, past midnight when I received his strange message.

My brows instantly furrowed and I texted back.

To: Theo: Are you okay? Where are you?

From: Theo: Don't be mad x

To: Theo: Why would I be mad?x

From: Theo: I swear I tried saying no, but Gareth and a few other guys dragged me out here!

(A/N: let's pretend Gareth Bale is single!!<3)

From: Theo: There's this strip club / club here. Super exclusive. Very exciting.

My heart slowly sank.

To: Theo: You're at a strip club?

From: Theo: I'm just at the bar with a few friends, I'm not too in to the women...
