A robust silence settled in the room. The only sound came from the turbines of the jet. Her comment had just hurt him more than she expected but accusing her of cheating had been the ultimate betrayal for her.

“I’ve loved you. For a long time now” she cried, “but do you think you’ve realized? That I have been completely devoted to you? You’ve been so busy, thinking that I am cheating on you. That you’ve forgotten everything else happening around you.” The tone of her voice had toned down, and her muscles had relaxed even though her throat had tightened, and her heart was still having palpitations.

He didn’t say anything but just stared back at her. Harry had nothing to say. He was in utter shock. He was speechless.

“And even though it pains me, I can’t.” Y/N sniffed, “You’ve hurt me, and I’ve trusted you until now, and we are just not meant to be” Y/N was inconsolable, she never thought that their relationship would come to an end as quickly as it had. “This is it then” She wiped her tears. “We are done”. She looked at him one last time before leaving the bedroom and locking herself up in the bathroom. Y/N just needed privacy. Her heart had just been ripped out.

She sat on the toilet after putting the top down and held herself and covered her mouth not wanting to make a sound. Y/N just wished that Harry would have said something to her. She never expected him to remain silent. She always thought that he would fight for her until the very last moment. Unfortunately, it only meant for her that he never liked her as much as he said and that broke her.

Y/N stayed in the bathroom for almost two hours and only left when she heard that the coast was clear. She quietly left the bathroom, and from where she stood, she could see the back of Harry’s head. Therefore, she locked herself in the bedroom and prayed that that jet landed soon rather than later. She lay on the bed and cried until she fell asleep.

🥀

Y/N was woken up by knocks on the door.

“Y/N?” It was Violet. “We have landed. We are just waiting for you. Are you all right?” She kept asking as she looked back at Michael, who impatiently waited with her outside. They had landed almost twenty minutes ago, and when they hadn’t seen Y/N they had worried. Michael and Violet had no idea what had happened between the couple, but they knew it was serious.

“I am fine. Must have fallen asleep” Y/N yelled back as she got up from the bed and opened the door.

Violet smiled at her; she could tell that she had been crying.

“Come on. Let’s get you home” Michael said to her, leading her out of the jet and to the car where Harry was waiting for. “We’ll see you soon” Michael smiled at the troubled couple and waved as he wrapped an arm around Violet.

“Where were you?” Harry asked her, as he looked through his phone.

“Sleeping,” she said coldly, sitting as far as possible from him.

Y/N tried her best not to cry in front of him, but it was impossible. The tears just kept coming, so she faced the window and tried her best to distract herself from what was happening inside.

Harry kept looking over at her but never said a word. She could feel his heavy stare on her, but she tried to ignore it. If he wanted to say something, he needed to say it aloud and on his own. Y/N was tired of forcing feelings and words out of him.

The car arrived at the apartment lobby and Y/N was the first out of the car. She knew what she needed to do, and she dreaded it. Breaking up with Harry wasn’t the hardest thing she had to do, saying goodbye to Oliver topped the list.

“We need to talk,” Harry said as soon as the doors of the elevator closed.

“There is nothing left to be said, Harry” Y/N said sharply.

“There is lots to say” He turned to her. “You haven’t let me speak”.

“I have, and you didn’t say anything” She swallowed back her tears and watched the floor numbers change, “I am going to pack my things and move out,”. Y/N stated as the elevator doors opened, and they stepped into the penthouse.

“You can’t just leave like this Y/N” Harry called out at her as he followed her up the stairs and into her bedroom.

“This is no longer healthy for either of us. You think I am cheating on you, and you keep lying to me. How do you expect us to move on and build a good relationship when there is no trust?” She pulled the suitcases out of the closet, the same ones that she had once arrived with.

“I never lied to you. I just chose to tell you when the moment was right. You were keeping things from me and having private conversations with your ex”.  Y/N looked up at him and shook her head in disbelief. “You can never accept that you are in the wrong, can you?”

She started taking her clothes off the hangers and throwing them in the suitcase.

“But I am not wrong! You still haven’t explained anything to me!”

“Because you made your own assumptions before asking me and let’s not forget that you violated my privacy” She made sure to leave everything that he had ever bought for her. The necklaces, the dresses, and the shoes. “Here” She threw him her phone which he caught swiftly. “Go ahead and look for the cheating texts that you so desire to read”.

“I am not going to look through your phone, are you mad?”

“Didn’t stop you before, did it?” Y/N finished packing her shoes and threw some of her other things in some bags.

“Just stop,” Harry said, “please stop, Y/N,” he asked her again as he watched her zip up her suitcase with determination. “STOP IT!” he yelled. “I can’t think” he exhaled when she finally stopped moving, but not before putting her suitcase on the floor. “Don’t go. Please let’s talk”.

The arguing was interrupted by a loud cry. Y/N instantly stopped everything that she was doing and practically ran into his bedroom. Harry’s yelling had woken him up.

“There he is” She cried as she picked him up from the crib. “I’ve missed you” Y/N mumbled as she pressed his cheek against hers. She settled down on the breastfeeding, rocking chair.

Oliver was still sleepy, so she placed him against her chest and rubbed little circles on his back, trying to soothe him back into a deep sleep.

“You are getting so big” she whispered to him, “I am going to leave, but it’s very important for you to know that I love you” Y/N’s heart shattered with every word. “We might not be together ever again, but I will always be thinking of you and wishing for you to grow into an incredible man” she sniffed as the words kept getting harder and harder to say out loud. “And when you are of age, you could always reach out to me, and I hope your father tells you how much I cared for you and the story of us. That’s the least he can do for me” She added looking up at Harry with tears in her eyes. “I love you Oli” Y/N whispered, kissing his head and rocking one last time. She placed him back in his crib and fought with every fiber in her not to take everything back and forgive Harry. This was something that she needed to do for her and her mental health.

“Please remember to follow the schedule and change it as he grows up,” Y/N said to Harry as soon as she shut the door. “It is important to keep his life structured”.

“If it’s so important, why are you leaving us?” Harry asked as he grabbed her hand and pulled him towards him. “Don’t go. Your place is here with us”.

There it was what she had needed to hear on the plane, but it was too late, and she had already made up her mind.

“It’s too late” She closed her eyes, savoring the last time that she would be in his arms. “Thank you for everything”.

And so, Y/N pulled her suitcases down the stairs and that's when she realized that the living room furniture was packed and covered. Harry had planned to move as soon as they returned from Italy to the new apartment where he knew that they would be safe. Seeing the future that Harry had already planned out for them, made her chest hurt.

However, that didn’t stop her from loading the elevator with her bags and waving goodbye to a teary Harry.

“Goodbye. Take care of Oli for me” and the doors closed.
