post breakup AUs
because i havenât seen enough of these around and i am so here for angst:
âtoday was the first family gathering iâve been to since we broke up and my little cousin that absolutely adored you asked where you were and i had to lock myself in the bathroom and sit in the tub for a half an hour and look through a folder on my phone of pictures i took of you to feel okay again¨ AU
¨i still have your phone number memorized even though i havenât called you since we split and somehow i remembered it even though iâve had like six shots of bourbon and hey, i know youâre pissed that youâre here at this dingy club at 3 in the morning to pick my drunk ass up, but you have to admit thatâs pretty impressive¨ AU
âiâm pretty sure if taylor swift and i were in a competition of who could write the most breakup songs in one night, iâd win by a landslide because i still set two plates out for dinner even though i eat alone and itâs almost pathetic because weâve been broken up for ages but iâm still not over youâ AU
âso i know we havenât talked in like, two years, and that things ended pretty badly between us but what the fuck do you mean youâre engaged to be married¨ AU
âyes, i know this is your sweatshirt and that we broke up five months ago but itâs really comfy okay. i totally donât wear it because like it still smells like you or is the only thing that even remotely feels like home since i moved out. pfft. absolutely not.â AU
âlook, i know we agreed to be friends and everything but thatâs what everyone says when they break up. i canât take you asking me for advice on how to ask out the new person youâre interested in, okay? itâs killing meâ AU
âoh hi, totally didnât expect to see you here at this one hole in the wall coffee shop literally no one in the entire world besides you knows about. what a coincidence.â AU
âit´s my [insert family relation here]´s wedding and seeing all these happy couples is killing me and all i can think about is how this was almost usâ AU (bonus: âi know that itâs two in the morning and iâm dressed really formally and a little (a lot) bit drunk but i couldnât stop thinking about you after my grandma asked how you were doing also can i come in itâs freezing out hereâ)
âi still have your sisterâs scarf and i know itâs stupid but iâve been hoping maybe one day youâll come by and pick it up so weâll be forced to talk again because i havenât seen you in months and iâm maybe kinda sorta still in love with youâ AU
âi know we were never officially together or anything but seeing that picture you posted on [insert social media] with him/her literally felt like you carved my heart out of my chest and stomped on it and iâm not really sure why iâm leaving this voicemail but my pillow still smells like you and i miss your stupid faceâ AU
âwe have a lot of mutual friends so we see each other more than two broken up people usually do and i know weâre not really close anymore but youâre wearing that stupid (adorable) hat you always wore when you were upset so tell me whatâs wrong because itâs literally killing me to see you look so sadâ AU
âso like, i know we broke up and stuff but funny story, i havenât told my family yet and they just assumed youâd be coming with me for [insert family celebration] and i really donât know how to tell them and i know this is really selfish but i canât break my great grandmaâs heart like that, sheâll probably have a heart attack andâ wait what? youâd do that for me? holy shit, i love you⌠waitââ AU
âi found your box of letters underneath my bed last night and because iâm a nosy motherfucker i decided to read them and it turns out they were all addressed to me and the last one was dated the day you moved out and iâm not quite sure why i thought this would be a good idea but here i am, standing on your doorstep, wondering why the fuck weâre not together anymoreâ AU
âwell this is really awkward considering the last time we saw each other, i was screaming at you to never talk to me again, but like, my dog recognized you all the way across the park and literally dragged me over here because she misses you so hiâ AU
omg i love these
