•PROMISE•

Based on the song "Sandcastles" by Beyonce

Past -

Mattia's arms wrapped around your waist, a gaze was set upon you as the moon continued to gleam above the both of you. The sound of waves crashing upon the shore and the sweet lulls of the birds that sung their nightly song.

A little vacation was planned, a trip to Hawaii to get away from it all. Dancing under the stars with soft winds humming along.

His eyes stared deeply into yours, showing compassion, love, commitment, loyalty. He loved you, and he was thankful that you were gifted to him. A soft smile spread on your lips as as he continued to stare into your eyes.

"Promise me something my love"
He whispered. Your smile soon faded away, he knew that you hated promises, he knew that in your past most promises had been broken which left you shattered. You closed your eyes and leaned into his chest, his chin resting on the top of your head.

"You know I hate promises Mattia".

He sighed. He knew about your past, and he has done everything he could to get you to trust him, and he was glad that day has come. But for many, it still scarred you, and you couldn't seem to forget about it. Not only did you have past experiences, he also had too. He got hurt many times by people walking out on him, leaving him high and dry, and so it took some time to actually find someone like you.

"I know baby, but just this once".
He sounded desperate, his voice was laced with need and you knew that this was very special to him. Yet again, you hated promises.

"Okay, then baby, tell me".
You felt his arms pull you closer, tighter, never wanting to let go.

"Promise me you'd never walk away"
Tears built up and threatened to fall.

"I promise my love".

Present -

"Please baby don't do this to me".
His voice barely above a whisper yet you could hear him loud and clear.

"Tell me what I did wrong".
Tears streamed down his face as he watched you pack your bags. You wanted it to be over, you didn't want it to be true and you hated yourself for doing this, but it had to be done. Mattia grabbed your clothes and threw them back into the closet, not allowing you to leave him.

"Mattia please, just let me leave!"

"No! Baby tell me what the fuck did I do wrong? I stayed loyal to you, I gained your trust just-"
He broke down crying, sobbing, his head in his hands. You wanted to beat yourself up because you hated to see him hurt, and the fact that you were the cause made you hate yourself even more.

It wasn't him, it was never him. It was all you, you couldn't give him what he wanted, he was too good for you and he deserved someone better, someone who can treat him better than you ever could. You felt like a burden to him, the hate that you gained from his fans were above the limit, more than every other girl he dated had gotten and you couldn't stand it anymore. You couldn't handle the death threats, the body shaming the unshipping. You couldn't find at least one fan that supported you and you hated the fact that his fandom became toxic. Of course you could ignore it, but when seeing his fans in real life, it all was worse.

"Ew what is she doing with him?"

"Mattia can do better".

"Why her though?"

You tied your best to ignore it but words hurt, and they tend to get to you easily.

Tears ran down your cheeks as Mattia sobbed in front of you. You fell to your knees and brought him into a hug, his arms instantly wrapping around you.

"Please stay"

"I'm sorry my love, but I can't"

"Why not?"
Mattia pulled away and frowned, his eyes red and tears still visible. You wish you could tell him, but it was stupid. You sighed and closed your eyes, trying to clear your mind. You opened your eyes, immediately being met with mattia's brown ones. You hate seeing him hurt, you hate seeing him in pain. But this had to be done. You stood up and grabbed your clothes back out of your closet before it all got worse.

Mattia followed you everywhere, wanting to know why but you couldn't bring yourself into tell him.

"Please y/n!"
You grabbed your suitcase and walked downstairs, hearing mattia's pleads echo through the house. He suddenly grabbed your wrist and spun you around to face him. The tears in his eyes, the voice that was hoarse.

"You promised me you wouldn't leave, you promised me you wouldn't walk away!"

You closed your eyes as tears fell down your face. You looked up at him, a sigh leaving your lips.

"Promises don't work out that way".
You grabbed your bag and ran outside before he could react. You saw the cab that you called earlier pull up just in time, throwing your bags in the back seat and getting in, the car instantly driving away. You looked back and saw Mattia running towards the car, yelling your name.

"I'm sorry my love".

4 months ago

You walked into the building where the event was being held, social bash was huge and you couldn't wait to meet up with all the up-and-coming influencers. You and your friend group made their way into the lobby, being met with avani, Zach, Josh, and other tiktokers. As you talked with them your friends rapidly tapped your shoulder, catching your attention.

"Look, it's Mattia!"
One of them squealed. Your smile dropped and flashbacks of that night came flooding your mind. You looked towards the direction they were pointing in and there he was. He looked happy...without you.

Your friends didn't know that you and him had history, and it was best for it to stay that way. Before you got caught staring you tried looking away, only for your eyes to lock with his.

Time stopped, the whole room around you blurred and the sounds of talking and chattering were all muffled. It seemed like you and Mattia were the only people on this planet. You then suddenly realised he was standing right in front of you, your friends were fan girling and wandering why you weren't too, but that was because you already knew that kid like the back of your hand. As you both continued to stare at each other, you couldn't help but feel the tears sting your eyes. Also noticing that his own tears were falling. They finally fell and he pulled you into a hug, shocking most of the people in the lobby apart from Alejandro and Kairi.

The hug was tight and you didn't want to let go.

"I fucking missed you".
More tears fell as you sobbed into his chest.

"I missed you more, and I'm so sorry".
He pulled away and wiped your tears.

"It's okay, Kairi told me, and don't worry about my fans, they can suck a dick, just know that you've got me".
You giggled and kissed him. The people around you cheered.

"I promise I won't walk away".
