We'll play in the dark, 'till it's golden again (A TW FanFiction)

Part Ten

Nathan’s POV

Why does Lu always have to insist on being right? She has no idea what happened that night, she wasn’t there. I’m telling the truth and she just isn’t having any of it. I head up stairs to see if I can talk some sense into her.

Once I get there, I find her sat on the edge of our bed with her head in her hands. I think she’s crying, which just makes me feel guilty, even though I did nothing wrong that night. I sit down beside her and she looks up for a second and after giving me a bitter look she turns her body away from me.

“Lu, please listen to me” I ask her, but I knew that she wouldn’t listen.

“What so you can tell me more lies” she sobs. It pains me to hear her cry. It’s like I feel something die inside of me.

“No. I’m not lying I swear. I was in a club and I admit that some girl came on to me, so I told her that I was with someone and then I went to sit with Max who was at the bar and she followed me. So I went to the toilet and then when I came back, Max had gone but my drink was still there. After I drank it I felt really weird and then the girl took me to an ally way and I was completely out of it. She then tried to kiss me, so I pushed her away. I didn’t want to cheat on you, but then she did that to my neck and I passed out” I tell her, but she doesn’t even look up.

“And I’m supposed to believe that? She spiked your drink and then you passed out after she gave you a love bite?” she asks me.

“Yeah. I know it seems crazy, but it’s the truth, I swear” I tell her, but she just looks at me for a second before saying, “Yeah it is crazy, that’s how I know that it didn’t happen. At least have the decency to tell me the truth or at least apologise. I know you’re lying to me. I thought you loved me, but look at us. You’re just some immature boy in a boy band, getting drunk every night and hooking up with random girls. I should have never gotten involved with you” she says and then she gets up and I watch as she starts to pack a suitcase with clothes and some other belongings.

“Please, Lu. Don’t do this. I’m telling the truth I swear. I didn’t cheat on you. I wouldn’t. I love you so much” I tell her, as I get up off of the bed.

“I’ve had enough of your lies for one day” she sighs.

“I love you, Lu. Don’t throw this away over some stupid little theory you have, a theory that is wrong” I tell her, as I pull her phone charger out of her hand, so that she couldn’t pack it.

“See, immature. I don’t know what I ever saw in you. You go away for months at a time and I know for a fact you see girls out there, I just wish you would tell me about it, instead of lying about it. You had your drink spiked? That’s a joke. Even you aren’t stupid enough to leave your drink alone and then drink it. I need to get out of this relationship now, before it’s too late. I have too much self respect to be a door mat and be cheated on. I love you, Nathan, I really do but I deserve better than this. It’s just not working” she says, and with that I realise that nothing I can say will stop her. I hand her the charger and then I look shamefully down at the floor. I should never have left my drink and then this wouldn’t have happened. She’s the love of my life, I can just feel it and now I’ve ruined that and for what? So that I could be a vampire. I never wanted this. I was happy with my life before and now every thing is ruined. I’ve lost the person that means the most to me and now I don’t know what I’m going to do. I sit down on the bed with my head in my hands.

Once Lu has finished packing all of her stuff, she places the suitcase on the floor and then wheels in down the stairs and out of the door. I hear as it hits every stair on the way down. I wish that could be me, falling to my death. As I hear the front door unlock, I know this is the final time I will probably see her. I run down the stairs and I watch as she wheels the suitcase out of the door and towards the car.

“Don’t do this, please. Without you, I’m nothing” I tell her. She stops for a second and then turns to look at me.

“Why don’t you call up the slut that gave you that awful love bite thingy” she says, and I can hear the hurt in her voice. Her make up has run right down her face and she looks a mess. But despite everything about her at this moment, I wouldn’t change her for the world. She is still as perfect as ever. She then turns back towards her car and she opens the boot of her car. I watch as she tries to lift the suitcase, but it seems too heavy, as she is clearly struggling.

“For fuck sake” she mutters, still crying. I walk over to her slowly and I pick the suitcase up. “No, don’t do this, Nathan. Give it me back” she says, but I don’t bother to reply. I just put the suitcase into the back of the car and then I shut it.

“Where are you going to go?” I ask her, not expecting an answer.

“I’ll find somewhere” she tells me and then she gets into the car. I watch as she pulls away and it feels like she’s just ripped a piece of my heart out and thrown it onto a scolding fire. As the car disappears round the corner, I feel a tear roll down my cheek.
