Timothée looked at his mum and smiled, grateful she would be his date to the Golden Globes again but deep down in his heart, he wished it was y/n the one who would go with him. But he ruined that.
Over a year ago, he cheated. He was drunk but it was no excuse and it wasn't like she wouldn't know because it was in a party full of people that knew her and were her friends.
He remembered her eyes full of tears and the way he made her feel when he promised at the beginning of their relationship that he wouldn't hurt her. Small luggage on her hands and she left his apartment, taking all of her things, only leaving behind her shampoo that they shared.
-Are you ready?
Timothée turned and nodded, opening the door for his mum.

Timothée knew she was going to be there but he didn't know she was going to be smiling next to a guy. He knew his name. George, good actor, he had seen a few of his movies. She looked amazing in her red dress and she looked radiant, smiling and hugging everyone.
She used to do that when she was still his girl. She always looked so pretty and she was nice to everyone. Timothée looked at her, George and other couple in front on them, they were talking and laughing, George's hand holding y/n's hand.
He bit his lip and looked at the red carpet, trying to calm his nerves. His agent walked next to him and his mum and left him to do some interviews.
After finishing answering questions he looked for his mum and walked to her, stopping when he saw who she was talking to:
-y/n...
-Hello, Timothée.
He smiled and hugged her, not waiting to let her go:
-She saw me and came to say hi.
-You know I love talking to you, Nicole.
-You're too nice.
-How are you? -Timothée asked, his hands shaking.- Congratulations on the nomination. You did great.
-I'm good, working as always. -y/n looked at him.- Thank you.
-Are you...
-Oh, I forgot to introduce you to someone. -y/n turned around.- I'll be back in a few seconds, don't leave!
y/n walked to a group of people and walked back with him, with George:
-Nicole and Timothée, this is George.
-Nice to meet you, George. 1917 was so good, one of my favourites of 2019.
-Thank you so much, Nicole. -George looked at Timothée, shaking his hand.- Nice to meet you, man. You were great in Little Women.
-Nice to meet you too.
-Anyway, we have to go but I'll guess we'll see you inside or in the after party?
-Of course, darling. Good luck!
-Thank you Nicole. Bye Timothée.
-Bye.
y/n and George walked together and Timothée looked at his mum:
-Let's go inside?
***
-Hey, can we talk?
It was the after party in a near hotel and Timothée couldn't stop looking at y/n dancing, drinking and just enjoying the night:
-Timothée.
-Please, don't call me Timothée, just say Tim or something.
-I think they are waiting for me.
-Just... It'll take 2 minutes of your time, please.
y/n bit her lip and nodded, trying to go to a less crowded place:
-How are you?
-I'm good Tim, the best I've ever been.
Ouch.
-That's good.
y/n looked at him:
-Is that everything?
-No. I just... I'm sorry y/n. You don't know how I regret everything I did to you. I just... I still love you and I wanted you to forgive me and... I don't know.
-You hurt me.
-I know.
-I couldn't stop thinking about what I did wrong for you to do that but now I know that is not my fault and I seriously think that you should stop thinking about it. I've gotten over it, you should do the same.
-I don't know if I can ever love someone as much as I loved you.
-You can. Tim, you deserve someone better than me.
-There's no one better than you.
-You say that but you still cheated on me. -y/n sighed, looking at him.- Timothée, I don't know what you want me to do but I'm with George and I know this may hurt you but I love him. We have been together for 6 months now and I just know that I love him. I'm sorry I can't be with you but I forgive you, Tim. I just want us to continue with our lives. -y/n hugged him, trying her best not to cry.- I will always appreciate you Timothée, you know that, I'll always be proud of you because you're the fucking best. -she smiled, making him smile as well.- I hope we can still be friends.
-Of course y/n.
y/n smiled hugging him leaving his side. She smiled when she saw George and approached him, kissing him softly on the lips and hugging him before dancing together.
Timothée saw the couple together and thought about the times where they would dance and laugh together but now, his favourite girl was dancing with another man.
