vinnie's pov i watched the woman i didn't treat right walk out the door and out my life just like that. as she disappears, emily appears making me roll my eyes at the sight.
"yes emily?" "emily? sudden mood change i see." she says as she looks me up and down. "emily i should've never went through with what we did. i should've left whatever we could've possibly have had in highschool" i say as i push her hands off my chest.
"IT'S ALWAYS Y/N THIS AND Y/N THAT. OH MY GOSH. SHES NOT GONNA TAKE YOU BACK... she HATES you!" she yells while laughing at the thought of y/n hating me.
"GET OUT. i might i've disrespected y/n but i'll be dammed if i let a WHORE LIKE YOU disrespect her" i respond back. "whore? okay vinnie hacker. you're the one who cheated on your fiancé. but i'm the whore. don't come back to me when she doesn't want you again" she chuckles and walks out the door.
i sit on the couch and think about what i just did. y/n does hate me. i would hate me too. i didn't meant to hurt her. i know i cheated, emily said things that got in my head.
"y/n please answer. i'm sorry. i know sorry doesn't cut it. i cant stay i never meant to hurt you because look where that got us. it's my fault and i know that. can we please talk. please come back home" i beg into the phone mic as i get sent to voicemail
3rd person view as the 6'0 boy constantly calls his ex fiancé's phone regretting everything, the woman is at the house she bought as a surprise for the engaged couple.
she had streams and streams of tears rolling down her face. was she not enough? what did she do wrong? why after 8 years he decided to cheat. was she boring? she asked herself.
the boy she loved and cared for deeply was the boy that broke her. he knew about her past relationships, he knew how bad they hurt her, and how her mental health went down because of the cruel words they told her.
she always promised herself once her and vinnie got together, she wouldn't let what could possibly happen with the both of them in the end, tear her back down to square one.
however, promises were meant to be broken right?

vinnie's pov as i look around the room filled with social media influencers dressed up elegantly for the event, i see a woman with curly hair that goes past her shoulders slightly, wearing a long blue dress that has a slit.

as she turns around, i automatically feel the regret and guilt come back.
y/n's pov "isnt vinnie suppose to be here? emily is right there talking with michelle" devyn asks me, making me roll my eyes.
"dev i don't even know and don't care." i say bluntly. "oh uhh..." devyn says making me turn around.
oh....
3rd person view as the exes both make eye contact, both feeling something different than the other, they can't help but feel broken.
y/n felt all the pain she went through for a year come back. she did everything to get over him. all the supporters asking about the break up, paparazzi asking about it, and overall just vinnie this vinnie that, wasn't helping.
vinnie on the other hand felt the guilt and regret. people making him feel bad, telling him how much he's a bad person, how she deserves better, and the fact he decided to keep that one promise he made to y/n...
... don't do what he did to her, to emily.
at the perfect timing, emily walks up to vinnie grabbing his face and kissing him passionately. yes, purposely knowing y/n and him saw each other.
y/n's pov i'm glad he kept that one promise.. "you good y/n?" devyn asks, shaking me out my thoughts and flashbacks. "yeah uhm i have to go backstage and get ready to say my speech"
as i walk backstage i feel a hand tug on my arm. "huh-?" i look back to be met with the person i don't want tot see right now.
"what vincent?" i sigh. "can we talk?" he asks desperately. "i can't. i have to get ready to give my speech. plus, there's nothing to talk about. it's been five years. whatever we had is gone, it was gone ever since you broke your bullshit ass promise the first time" i say, my tone slightly raising.
"y/n please. i'm sorry and i know sorry isn't going to take away the pain i put your through, okay. but i am. ever since you left i haven't been myself. i haven't genuinely smiled in a while. you brought the better in me. you stayed there for me when i needed you the most. please y/n i'm so sorry." he says on the verge of tears.
"well i'm sorry that when you were out having fun with emily, i was in bed by myself crying and thinking about what i did wrong. you haven't been yourself? you haven't been happy in a while? well now we're even. bye vinnie, i really have to go up soon."
"STOP. please... y/n. we were good together. we loved eachother-" he tries to plead his case. but i cut him off.
"save it hacker. you're right we LOVED each other, we WERE good together. YOU ruined that once you cheated. don't make me feel bad. you knew what i've been through before and you made a PROMISE. you BROKE it. you don't deserve me. i'll forgive you but i'll never forget"
"also thank you for keeping your promise. i'm glad you figured out human decency and promises" i say bitterly as i walk towards the stage.
and ever since that sentence, the two never spoke again. vinnie got married to emily. he felt as if that's the least he could do for y/n. on the bright side, y/n found herself again. she got into medical school and became a pediatrician with her pHd. she was living her best life single and free.
