The day of your birthday was a mess, you cancelled the party just because that same day; your boyfriend ex decided that he's dropping everything in your relationship

You tried so hard to keep this relationship going, hell you even begged him for a reason, but all he kept doing was blabbering about how he has his "own reasons" and how he wouldn't want you to be involved in it,

Seriously, couldn't he make up a better excuse?

You saw it coming, the way his eyes avoided yours as you both went out with the group, the way he's always "busy" and taking time for himself not bothering to reply to your texts,

—And that one girl.

What was her name again?.. it was Kya or whatever

The way your boyfriend was always finding excuses saying "she's just a friend" but in the end he always made you feel like you're the other woman when she's around

--and it hurt you. It hurt you like hell

But now here you are a month still trying to get over him, you made your way into your room looking at the polaroids of you and your so called ex; he was hugging you from behind, his hands wrapped around your shoulders—smiling widely

Your eyes trailed down to another picture, it was prom day and you wore your favorite colored dress as he took you by the hand; you smiling for the camera as his eyes stay locked into your figure, shining with love. Your expression turned sour,

'just why the fuck would he do this to me' your heart pondered

He didn't even text you happy birthday that day, he just left. Oh and of course things couldn't get any better when your friends heard about the breakup

Your contacts flooded with millions of questions asking "why", "how" you didn't bother answering considering the state you're in;

Your hair was a mess, your lashes damped with tears from last night, your body was screaming at you to take a shower and dang you probably reeked of alcohol

But after a while you breathed in gaining your composure,

'fuck that loser'

your pride leaping in as you wipe your tears away,

you stood up and ripped the stupid polaroids off the walls throwing them in the bin at the corner of the room

Just when you were about to take a nice warm bath your phone rang,

"hello?" You bought the speaker to you ear, waiting for a reply

"HEYY BOOO"

you immediately backed away from the device on your hands, your ears ringing as you groaned-

"Jesus Christ Maya! Could you stop doing that everytime you call me" you spoke harshly,

"oh come on bae, we know all you did today was just to cry over that loser"

Another person's voice popped up, you stood still registering the voice--

"HARVEY? S'THAT U?" You asked, "YEEESSS BAE IT'S ME--" she squealed through the phone voice slightly cracking over whatever wifi they have there,

Oh how you've missed your girls—they were your bestest friends from childhood you basically grew up with them so technically you guys are sisters,

But unfortunately Harvey was separated from the both of you due to her moving away to study abroad,

Lucky her.

But here she was on the phone next to Maya

"girl omfg when the hell did you get back?" You asked swallowing a scream, harvey then explained everything— after a bit of a chit-chat

"look bae, I was thinking we could go to a party. I heard martin's throwing one at Thursday! Watcha' think girl?" Maya asked hoping you'd agree, took you a while to reply as you looked around your bedroom

Your clothes were everywhere, your sheets tangled in mess as your plushies were scattered all over the floor, you thought to yourself

'Martin is Yufan's best friend... He'd probably be there. Right?'

"--aw come on bae, you gotta let it go. Hang with us like the old days, he doesn't deserve you." you snapped out of your thoughts as it finally clicked

'Right he doesn't deserve me at all'

"hey Maya babe, i might just crash out at your apartment tonight"

.

.

You arrived that night at Maya's apartment with your luggage as you've planned to stay a few nights there,

As the three of you exchange stories and Harvey having to share her experience abroad, it reminds you of the past—distracting your mind from Yufan your worries.

That's when Maya opened her phone to show you a funny reel she saw on ig, your eyes landed on that one user

[@kya_aaa]

Oh fuck that's the girl.

As Maya was about to click on her own profile, your fingers quickly pressed on kya's story as fast as lightning,

"what the fuc-"

you both stood still as you looked closely.

It was a picture of her and your man ex, Kya was smiling as she held his hand, on the other hand Yufan had this expression on him as if his life was drained, he looked..unhappy?

okay seriously what the hell is going on, now the both of you still your eyes locked on her screen

Harvey's head budged in "IS THAT THE ASSHOLE?" She dramatically gasp

Your expression stays flat "yup that's him", surprisingly you didn't want to cry. You didn't even feel sad nor jealousy, you just scoffed and brushed it away as if it meant nothing

"girl I'm so proud of you" Maya wiped her non-existing tears as you glared

"oh bitch shut up"

.

.

The days went by pretty quickly as it was Thursday now, you were looking into your luggage deciding which fit you'd wear tonight

"oh baby boo, I forgot to give you this" Harvey spoke up handing you a box neatly wrapped with glitters and bows, you looked at her confused

"your birthday gift." That's when your mouth formed an 'O' as you gave her a smile thanking her

You began to unravel the gift, excitement flowing in your blood, as you opened the lid

And there it was.

A beautiful sleeveless body-con dress.

It was just your size, as the fabric hung right above your knees giving a wonderful view of your perfect legs

You were in love. This is just what you needed for tonight

Your eyes shot back at Harvey squealing, "well do you like it? I even had it washed just for you" Harvey asked already knowing you love it

"I LOVE IT" you screamed in joy, "in fact you're gonna be wearing this baby tonight" Harvey pointed,

You lifted the dress taking in the details, now you felt like princess Diana with your own revenge dress

'watch me, jerk'

You muttered under your breath smirking, tonight's mission was quite simple—

"make him realize on what he's missing"

.

.

.

The party was already packed with people, as the music blast from the speakers Martin was approached by a guy,

Your ex.

"hey man, I'm surprised you actually came!" Martin greeted him as he handed him a drink, James accepted

"yea of course i would" he let out a flat smile as his eyes roamed around the crowd, searching for someone.

—You.

"so how are you? Heard you've broken up lately with your girl" keonho spoke up as he took a sip

"yeah.." James shifted uncomfortably

"that's a damn shame-- she was totally a full package! thought you loved her so much, what made you change your mind?" Martin spoke again

"just been busy and stuff.." James muttered almost a whisper

Then spaced out, his mind thinking about you. He thought he didn't need you but damn right he does, and ever since that dream he had of you—regret came in waves as his mind was flooded with your smiling image

God he was so dumb for letting you go, you were everything he wanted and needed. Guys would literally kill to be in his position and now your heart was unoccupied, here he was frustrated over being an ungrateful scumbag treating you like shit

Oh how he wished he could go back,

Leaving you was a stupid choice, and now it's even dumber as he has himself wrapped around another girl's fingers, Kya.

His trance was cut short by a whine escaping a girls mouth

"jamieee" Kya cooed, latching herself into his arms

.

.

'oh great'

Kya was juhoon's sister, it all started when juhoon asked for james' help to pick his sister up from school, that when she started to swoon over him not caring the fact he already had a girlfriend

But after manipulating him into a breakup, she was all over him. Always clinging around like a child. It pisses him off really, that when it clicked for him

He misses you, he needs you

The thought keeping him awake every night as if it's mocking him for his dumb choices, and he regrets it.

Leaving you. Wasting a perfect girl like you

"hey jamiee, you good?" Kya asked him concerned painted her face as she spoke with a high-pitched voice, he nodded in reply.

Kya than began yapping away things that James wouldn't care-less, Kya held onto him like a fucking koala his eyes began darted around as someone caught his eyes

That's you.

As he held in his breath, his gaze fixed on you. Still looking pretty as ever, heck even prettier with the dress that hugged your body so perfectly, your locks swaying from your shoulders gracefully, you took his breath away

And for a second your eyes shifted to his, locking in a stare, and just when James was about to smile at you, you rolled your eyes and looked away.

Ouch. Just what the hell was he expecting, he left you. And now he's the one with a heart that's filled with regret

'fuck she probably hates me' he thought aloud

"um hello? have you been listening?" Kya waved her hand Infront of his face,

"y-yea go on"

.

.

.

You made your way amongst the crowd by pushing to get a drink, your mind racing as you sat on one of the chairs needing to cool off

It kept replaying in your mind, how your eyes locked with his. That look he has on his face like he was stunned

'shit...' you cursed under your breath, hand reaching out for a booze.

"hey girl"

You chocked on your drink as your head turned to the direction

It was Martin.

"how's the party? Enjoying yourself?" He had a smile on his face

Just when did he get so charming?

"the party is amazing! The drinks are great" You let out a smile as you took another sip, "that's great to hear" Martin trailed--

"y'know i was thinking maybe we could hang around somewhere more quiet, watcha think?" Martin asked, seconds later you nodded

Martin has your hands in his, dragging you along with him as you both went off finding a place that's more.. private

.

.

.

From across the room James' gaze was fixed on you, as Martin held your hand guiding you to get past the crowd, his heart now raced

Jealousy was filling his bones as he stood up leaving Kya sat on the chair next to him

"h-hey where are you going!" Kya called, but getting a cold shoulder in return

James then stride forward following you and Martin, making his way through the crowd as he followed your steps

There you were in the corner with him, his hands on your cheek as he leaned in, inches away from your plumped lips

As you closed your eyes leaning forward--

'ehem'

A sudden cough interrupted the both of you.

shooting your eyes open you turned towards the source,

Zhao-Fucking-Yufan.

you've gotta be shitting me.

He then proceeds to walk forwards taking your hands and dragging you away from Martin, leaving the poor boy confused as he stared at you figure getting smaller

Okay what the hell just happened?

As James tightened his grip around your wrist, you spoke loudly "what the heck are you doing James?", he stopped.

'James' he looked at you with those eyes that was full of despair, you'd always call him by his real name "Yufan" with your sweet voice and your pretty smile, but now things had changed and he blamed himself for that

"we need to talk"--

"what is there to talk about?" You yanked his hands away, your eyes sharp as you looked at him,

"look i made a mistake and i-"

"you want me back?" You cut him off, "bro you left me on my fucking birthday when i was trying so hard all this time to maintain our relationship!" Your tone was sharp.

"there is nothing to talk about anymore, we're already over" You didn't care if your words hurt him, you'd been hurt first by him leaving you, it's only fair if you attacked him back.

"look please, baby i know was wrong but give me another chance.. I miss you, a-and i couldn't stop thinking about you" he stuttered, tears began to form in the corner of his eyes

"i need you baby" he whispered as his hands made its way to the side of your cheeks

"don't fucking baby me." You scoffed pushing him away from you, he looked at you with his teary eyes, his expression filled with regret as his hands continued to reach for you

You backed away.

"genuinely just fuck off, i don't want to see your face ever again" you said as you turned your back walking into the roaring crowd,

"n-no please" was all that managed to come out of his mouth

You raised your middle finger, his vision starts to blur as the tears finally glide down his cheeks, his head hung down in defeat as he sob

He froze, his tears running down his face as he watched you disappear amongst the people, his hand crutched his chest as his mind rewinds your moments together, your laugh, your smile, your voice.

And now you're gone because of him, oh god why was he so stupid?

From afar Maya and Harvey celebrated with a drink in their hand "we raised her well" Maya let out a giggle,

"aren't we like the best parents ever" they both laughed out as they sipped on their cocktail watching the poor boy stood still as he weeped, you snickered from behind joining them, victory painted on your face

"well looks like he's my ex for a reason"
