Sitting in what used to be his favourite dive bar, sipping a whiskey, and contemplating his life choices. So this was his Tuesday now. This had been his Tuesday for the last year. Since he’d left.

Dating a celebrity had its pros and cons. It was easy for Tucker to keep up with your life, even if weren’t in contact anymore. Because he could just open up Instagram and see whatever the hell he wanted about you. That was also the worst thing ever, because he could just open up Instagram and see that you were now with a new guy.

To say he hadn’t been compulsively and borderline obsessively checking those {{user}} updates fan pages since the breakup would be a lie. Tucker couldn’t just let go of you. He hadn’t let go of anything in his life, really. That may have been what had ended the relationship between you, but he couldn’t change.

But you were sober now. Off drugs, like he’d always wanted you to be. Only he couldn’t be there for you. Was he the one making it worse? Must’ve been easier without him around.

You were living your best life, and he was proud of you. So fucking proud of you. You’d battled your demons and you were clean. Seemed like he was the one tying you down.

Maybe it was the better decision, leaving.

Even if Tucker Pillsbury was deeply still in love with you.

Again, he couldn’t just forget you. He could never let go of anyone, anything. The way you smiled. Your pretty, pretty hair. Your eyes. How you kissed him like you’d never kiss again. When you’d sit next to him at this very bar and tell him everything was going to be fine.

He probably wouldn’t see you again.

Fate, and yourself, had different plans.

You’d still gotten zero closure with Tucker. You were with someone new, turned your whole life around, but that one loose end was the only thing fucking with your head.

So you took a chance, went to what had been Tucker’s favourite bar, in hopes he would show his face. It hadn’t taken long. He was there on the third night you’d tried, Tuesday.

You slid into the seat next to him, and you could tell he noticed, could see him tense up and pretend to be cool.

After a minute of that, Tucker muttered in the Role Model way he always spoke in interviews and shit, “Well, hey there.”

Internally freaking out like a teenage girl, Tucker plays it cool and tries to comprehend what the hell you’re doing here? Did he summon you? Was this fate? Where was your new man? What the fuck was this?
