Y/n's POV

'You're the only woman I could ever love.'

The words rung in my head, over and over.

He fell in love with someone else...

I understand that I was away for 5 years and I told him to move on, but why did he feel the need to lie to me?

I was sat on the couch as these thoughts ran through my head, chewing on my fingernails as I stared into space. I was broken out of my thoughts when someone sat beside me.

"Hey Ohm." I greet, looking up at him. He smiles in return, nodding back. We sat in silence for a bit, me watching the TV, which was previously turned on when I spaced out, and Ohm using his phone.

"Can I ask you something?" I question, turning towards him.

"Shoot."

"How many girls has Del brought home since I've been gone?"

He looks at me, seeming shocked that I would ask. "Um, not too sure honestly..."

"As in not that many or too many to count?"

He gives me a sympathetic look and I know he's talking about the latter.

"Any of them come back for seconds?"

"Well the ones I know about have tried but he's never taken them back, except..." He trails, looking away.

I turn my whole body now, sitting criss cross in front of him. "Except?"

He glances at me, as if debating on whether or not to say anything.

"Ryan, please."

He sighs, putting a hand on my knee. "Except for one girl. She used to be here nearly everyday. She's the one Delirious always seemed to go back to. Her name is Elizabeth, but everyone calls her Liz..."

"Liz..." I mumble, taking note of the name, yet, I don't recall seeing her in Delirious' phone.

"Why'd you ask?" Ohm finally speaks up, stopping my train of thought.

"I-I, I just..." I pause, sighing. "Last night we had a tiny little dispute, but we fixed it, then he told me that I was the only woman he could ever love."

Ohm tilts his head in confusion, draping one arm around the back of the couch. "Isn't that a good thing?"

"He was lying though... I could tell, I could feel it. He fell in love with someone else. He's still in love with Liz..."

"What're you gonna do?"

I look up at him, confusion spreading across my face. "What? Nothing! What am I supposed to do? I can't do anything about it. I just... I just have to deal with it."

He gives me a skeptical look.

"What?" I ask.

"I know you enough to know that you are not gonna settle for second place. And definitely not in his eyes." I turn away, crossing my arms. He was right.

"That's not my choice to make."

"But you do want him to choose. Because if you're not number 1, then you'll completely withdraw yourself from the competition."

Right again.

"Well of course I would. Why settle for someone who doesn't want me?"

Ohm sighs, agreeing with me. "And you are absolutely correct. But don't jump the gun. Give him time."
