1973

While in a nightclub with a couple of close friends of yours..

You take a sip of your cocktail but feel your heart drop as you hear the familiar laugh of your ex-boyfriend. That fucking laugh..

You quickly turn around to see him talking with a couple of friends, the same smug smirk on his lips that you remember so well from your relationship.

While you two were together during the late sixties he’d cheated on you multiple times and was often very angry or irritable. Despite how bad your relationship was, however, you still loved him and had cried for weeks after your breakup..

You quickly turn back to your friends, unable to bear the sight of looking at him after all this time. It still hurt just as much as it did when he first left you all those years ago..

—————————————————

After about half an hour you finished your second drink and needed to pee. You slowly got up and made your way through the crowd of people towards the bathroom.

On your way there you brush past one man in particular. You look up to see his face and your eyes instantly widen. It’s John.

There was music blasting through the club but you were so sure you could hear your heartbeat in your chest. You felt a pang of pain in your heart as you look into his eyes. All the memories of his yelling, cheating and lying coming back to you..
