It all ended with a terrible fight. It was over something incredibly silly, but at the time, it felt like the most important thing in the world. You didn't even remember why you were so angry now, but in that moment, it didn't feel worth fighting for anymore.

You and Alex had been together for five years. You met in middle school and broke up during your second year of high school. At first, your relationship was perfect, like something from a sweet romantic movie. Alex was your first boyfriend, your first everything. You truly believed, this was forever. Five years together without any major problems, you thought you had found your soulmate.

But then, the unexpected happened and ruined everything. Your dad got a new job in America. You had to leave your city, Sheffield, and that meant leaving Alex behind.

He promised he would call and write often, but a few days before you left, the awful fight happened. Since that moment, you never spoke again.

Now, after two long years, you were finally back. Your family had moved home. The thought of seeing Alex again, after all this time and the way things ended, gave you a sharp, painful ache in your stomach.

Alex saw you for the first time again in the crowded school hallway. His jaw dropped. He had no idea you were back. For a second, he thought he was seeing things, but then reality hit him when your eyes met his as you walked past.

He almost expected you to smile and wave, but when he saw your gaze quickly drop away, he understood. He was holding another girl's hand, his new girlfriend, Sarah.

He loved Sarah, of course, but you? You were an entirely different chapter in his life. He looked at Sarah, and that’s when he realised: She was beautiful, but she wasn't you.
