Three months had passed. I wanted to deny that I was losing feeling for Alex. I really did. I just wasn't as interested anymore. I can't help my feelings, and it's not like I like anyone else.
I just think we'd be better off as friends. But how on Earth am I supposed avoid breaking his precious heart and break-up at the same time?!
"Hey Bella!" He called from the kitchen.
I walked in and he was sitting at the island, looking at his phone.
"Yeah?" I questioned.
"You've been off recently..and our 8 month is coming up. What's wrong?" He cocked his head to the side.
"Look, Alex, I wanna be honest. I really do. But you have to promise to hear me out and just listen for a bit, ok?" I said and sat down across from him.
"You're scaring me, what's up?" He looked straight into my soul, and usually, that would've sent chills through my spine. But it just...didn't.
"I been feeling quite off recently, and I'm not sure why. But part of that has made me feel differently about this relationship. By that, I mean I'm-"
He cut me off, "losing interest and think we should just be friends and separate a little bit but also be in completely understanding if one of us gets into another relationship?" He guessed.
"Um..yeah. That's literally exactly what I was gonna say." I rubbed my neck and looked down.
"I was thinking the exact same thing! I still love you, it's just not like that anymore." He smiled and held my hand.
Our eyes met again and we smiled wide.
"Glad we're at agreement!" I laughed.
The rest of the night we hung out, as friends, and he packed up his bags to go back to his own apartment.
"Thanks, and I really mean thanks, for understanding." I leaned on the door as he stood in the hallway.
"No, thank you!" He smiled and kissed my cheek before walking off.
I shut the door and nodded, knowing what just happened happened for a reason and I may miss him at some point, but it was for the better.
I turned on the TV just to see...Tom on the Tonight show.
I groaned and was about to turn it off when Jimmy sparked the start of another conversation.
"So—Spider-man: Far From Home is in production I hear along with Endgame. Are you pumped?" Jimmy smiled at him, the audience cheering at the mention of a new movie.
"I am so thrilled! Spider-man was always my dream and another movie is really what the MCU needs." He smirked and I smiled a bit.
"Is it the same cast as Homecoming?" Jimmy questioned.
"Besides two people that I won't name, yes." He looked to the audience and made a 'shhh' face.
They oohed and Jimmy spoke again.
"I also hear Ms. Bella Wilson is expected to be your love interest, is that true, even though you two aren't exactly friends anymore?" Jimmy spoke a daring question, that may be controversial.
My heart stopped as Tom spoke.
"Yes, if she's on board. I really hope she is. I mean, I'm not necessarily saying this romantically, but I miss her. Like, she just made rehearsal so much better!" He looked down a second to hide his smile.
My eyes watered and I turned the TV off quickly, throwing the remote onto the couch.
"JERK!" I cried into the bed pillow.
"If he really appreciated me like that he wouldn't of cheated, drunk or not." I mumbled to myself while turning over on my back.
Then it hit me.
Was I going to be able to film this movie? With him? I don't know how long it'll take for me to forgive him, but if I certainly don't want that awkwardness. Especially if I do have to be the effing love interest.

1.4 million likes Together, Alex and I have broken up. No, we don't hate each other or anything. In fact, I'd consider him a close friend. Sometimes, in relationships, we just happen to realize we'd be better off as friends. Thanks to everyone, especially our fans, for understanding. Love you Alex🧡🧡
