Me and Harry broke up almost a month ago, when I caught him cheating on me with his ex. I left that night and didn't look back, I was heart broken. We had been fighting a lot and I had been really busy with my job and so had he. But instead of just talking to me he went and slept with someone else, let alone his ex girlfriend.
Tonight I'm going to dinner with my best friend Emma, I've been in my apartment a lot lately so she wanted to take me out to cheer me up. I got ready putting effort into my makeup and outfit since I haven't got 'dressed up' in ages. Just as I got in my taxi I got a text from Emma: "Im gonna be a little late" ugh.
Once I arrived at the restaurant I payed and thanked the driver, then I text Emma "Im outside, what table did you book again?" "15, I'll be another 20 minutes" she replied quickly. I sighed and walked through the door. The waitress took me towards the table, but I stopped as I saw who was sat on the table opposite mine. I clenched my teeth. "Is there any way I could swap tables?" I asked her quietly. "Im sorry they're all reserved." she said. I sighed "It doesn't matter." I said politely she nodded and walked away. I looked back at the table one more time. I caught Harry's eyes, stared for a second but then broke the contact by sitting down.
"Finally!" I said standing up and pulling Emma into a hug. "Im so sorry, my boss gave me a bunch of last minute work I had to get done." "did you see who's here?" I asked quietly leaning into her ear. "I know, I had to hold myself back from punching him in the gut." she said. I laughed and shook my head.
We ate and finished our food. Harry obviously had just arrived when I got here because he's still here. Me and Emma said goodbye and she walked back to her apartment, which is a 10 minute walk from the restaurant. I stood outside hugging myself, as it's freezing, while I waited for my cab. I felt a tap on my shoulder... Harry. "what do you want?" I asked turning my head back to the road. "I wanted to explain myself." he replied calmly. "Explain what? That you cheated on me with your ex?" "I-" "just shut the fuck up, and leave me alone." I said walking towards the edge of the pavement. "I didn't cheat on you." he said from behind me. I didn't say anything. "She turned up to our apartment, I almost did but then I realised what a mistake I was making and stopped it." he now stood next to me. A tear rolled down my cheek "I'm sorry y/n." he said, another tear. My taxi pulled up. "You really hurt me Harry... goodbye." I said getting in the car.
That night I cried myself to sleep, but I now have the closure I needed and can move on with my life and from him.
