'Je t'aime.' He overheard a couple say in the club.
I love you.
The 3 words that once made me feel like the happiest man on earth.
That turned to the 3 words that made him feel like he didn't belong on this earth anymore.
We lay in her bed watching repeats of Friends, just like we always would.
It had been a while since we became official, we were spending a lot of time together.
Anytime we were both free it was spent with each other. We spent our time building a relationship.
She had her head on my bare chest as she traced patterns on my torso.
'I love you.' I mumbled.
She stopped tracing patterns and sat up abruptly.
'You what?' She asked in disbelief.
'Look it's okay if-' Before I could finish my sentence she cut me off.
'Brad just tell me what you said.' She ordered.
'I said I love you.' I told her again causing a large smile to appear on her face.
She leaped into my arms, her face in the crook of my neck.
'I love you too.' She mumbled into my neck.
I pulled away to kiss her only to find tears rolling down her face.
'Don't cry princess.' I chuckled as I kissed her tears away.
Everything was reminding him of her, more than usual this past day.
Unable to know whether it was just because he was in the city of love, the city he promised to bring her to.
Maybe it was because he went and got a tattoo without her, it could've been because he promised that they would get tattoos together.
It could be seeing all the other boys so in love with their other halves who have joined them on the trip when in reality she should be here also, that was always their plan.
A girl came up to him. She was the complete opposite of my love.
She had short, blonde hair and green eyes. Her face was caked in makeup so much that it wasn't as attractive as his love. Nobody was.
Maybe he was being biased because she wasn't the woman he was deeply, madly in love with.
He was fighting with himself so much to not look at another woman when in reality, she was looking at another man while she was with him.
Perhaps it's now that all the hurt has left him that he feels empty and he just want her by his side again.
He was missing the small things such as: their late night trips to Asda when they couldn't sleep and their late night walks with Jesse and their breakfast dates. Overall just spending time with her they lay in bed enjoying each other's company.
Yeah in the past he's had other girlfriends but nobody compares to her.
He is thoroughly convinced that she is in fact his soul mate.
She's the only person in this whole entire world that is the right girl for him.
But he began to think that all of the 'I love you's' we shared were just lies.
That the foundation they began to build was built through lies.
The truth is he don't know how to trust again after that. The pain he went through was surreal when he thinks of the times she made me the happiest man alive.
'I love you Brad. Goodbye.' She whispered as I snapped my hand away from hers.
The goodbye shattered my heart as well as the 'I love you'.
How was I meant to believe she loved me after she went and done that?
The 'I love you' hurt almost as much as the 'Goodbye' did.
'Goodbye.' Con said as him and Luce made their way back to the room.
Everything that was happening here in Paris was somehow linking back to all the vivid memories that they shared.
And unfortunately the painful memory he wish never even existed.
