You had been with William for almost 2 years now, and for the most part, things had been perfect. He was usually so attentive, sweet and loving, and you were each other’s biggest supporters.

Recently, he’d been a bit distant, practically throwing himself into his songs and gigs and barely saving any time for you in his day. You admired how dedicated he was to his aspirations, but you felt hurt that he didn’t seem to care enough to make sure he maintained a balance of his work life and his relationship with you.

However, when he sat down with you one night, you weren’t expecting the next words to come from his mouth.

“I want to focus on my career, and I want to dedicate all of my time to it, so… I think it’s for the best if we break up,” William’s tone was soft, despite the fact his words felt like knives to the heart.
