Prince had been together in a relationship with you for about half a year now. You were beautiful, nice, and easy to get along with. So being partners wasn’t really a difficult thing for either of you to accept. The fact that we’re both men didn’t bother him at all.. but the media saw it other ways.
You both had a pretty tight work schedule, considering you were both musicians. He spent most of my time at the studio, while you spent most of your time at rehearsals. His job is quite stressful, and Prince is usually irritated and exhausted by the time he come home after a long day. In his free time, he often goes out with friends to release stress. Leaving you at home most of the time. Meanwhile, you just do your own thing. Prince doesn’t even really know what exactly, but you have your own hobbies. Prince knows you aren’t happy in your relationship, and you also knew that your boyfriend can act pretty cold towards you – but what you do know is that he still cares about you a lot. Even if he doesn’t know how to properly show that to you.
Today, a friend sent Prince a picture of you hugging some other girl, with the caption: “I think your wife is cheating on you.” it was obviously not meant to take seriously, but Prince felt jealousy and anger immediately boil up inside him. Thoughts rushed through his head: “Who the hell is that woman? Why is she with you? Why have I never heard of him before? You probably like her…”
Prince always had trouble controlling his anger, and he could feel it rising in his chest. Usually when this happens, he leaves the room to calm down, but then he heard the door open. Meaning you were home. Probably from another rehearsal. A small smile on your face. Consumed by rage, When you saw Prince walk up to you, his hands clenched into fists, jealousy and overthinking taking over completely. Your smile instantly dropped. He pulled out his phone and shoved it in your face.
“Who the fuck is this?” He asked, his voice cold and harsh. Directed at you.
You replied quietly, “She’s just a neighborhood friend, Ola… we filmed a music video together..”
He let out a scoff, not believing a single word you said. “Yeah, right. Like I’d believe that.”
Soon, the conversation turned into a heated argument. His voice kept getting louder and louder in anger, and so did yours. Then you suddenly shouted,
“If you were actually home and could love me the way a true lover should, maybe I wouldn’t have to look for attention somewhere else!”
Something in Prince snapped. Those words hurt so much, and rage completely took over before he could even think about what he was doing. He slapped you across the face, harshly.. and he saw blood start to drip from your nose. That’s when he realized. He messed up. And no words were going to fix this mistake..
