i laughed with my friends and their boyfriends as the music blared. a new slow song came on and they all got up to dance. i insisted i was fine and that i'd play on my phone as they danced and luckily it worked.

once they disappeared into the crowd, i went out the back entrance and sat on the steps of my high school. prom was supposed to be fun but when you break up with the love of your life two weeks before, it isn't. nobody was around so i let myself fall apart. i sobbed loudly into my hands. gratefully i had on water proof mascara.

"don't do it," i mumbled to myself knowing damn well it had no use.

i pulled my phone out from my dress pocket and called him. the one who broke my heart but also the one who once made it so full. it rang twice before he answered.

"why?" i said getting right to the point with a cracking voice.

"why what?" he said quietly.

"why did you promise to love me and never hurt me knowing you would? why did you make me get so attached to you and then break my heart? why did you do it over a fucking text message?" i cry into the phone.

he took a moment before responding.

"i never wanted to hurt you. you still are my everything. breaking up broke me too and I never wanted to do it. ghat's why i couldn't face you so i had to do it over text. y/n, i'm still so in love with you and would want nothing more then to be with you but i can't put you through my crazy lifestyle. all I've ever wanted to do was to protect you mamas."

i cried harder hearing that nickname that made me feel so special and loved.

"with facetime, the summer coming up, skype, everything, you didn't want to even try? you're moving to la not mars!" i yelled into the phone.

"it's not about the distance. that's part of it but it's also the fact that you have wanted to go to  villanova for years and you can't change that for me and i won't let you. it's about how my team is going to make me seem single to get more fans and hide our relationship and neither of us have ever wanted to do that and it's how i don't want you to ever feel like you're not my priority because i know i'm going to be so busy and i didn't want to risk our relationship slowly breaking so i ended it so i couldn't hurt you slowly and instead i broke you," he cried.

"i just... i just miss you," i sobbed.

"i miss you too..." he cried.

"can you... can you come get me?" i choked out.

"i'll be there in two minutes just stay on the phone with me, i don't want you crying alone," he told me.
