Beths POV:

I turned my phone off before packing my stuff up so I didn't have to see Hardins texts or voicemails that he left. I couldn't stay here I'd finished my last semester at college and there's loads of jobs back home I could go for I couldn't be in this apartment all I'd packed was some of my clothes and makeup I only had 2 suitcases and a duffel bag and I had a lot of clothes. I was just finishing up packing before I heard a knock on the door.

Hardins POV:

I woke up on a park bench fuck knows where. I checked my phone to see it was dead, I needed to talk to her so I got up my head throbbing and started walking until I reached the apartment I stood there for a second until I knocked on the door.

Beths POV:

I opened the door, Hardin.
"what are you doing here" I said at the door before he walked in "what are you doing" he asked looking at the bags on the floor "I'm going back to my moms" I said his back turned to me "what, why" he turned around and locked eyes with me, "are you kidding me, I can't stay here with you Hardin" I said tears building up in my eyes. "You're really going to let all this go, us go because of one stupid kiss that meant nothing" he said walking closer to me. I felt the tears straining down my face, I couldn't say anything. I grabbed my bags and was just about to leave when his voice flooded my ears "if you leave then we're over, for good" his voice was shaky and unsteady. "why are you doing this to me?" I sighed as I turned around to face him "because I fucking love you Beth, and if you leave I'm done fighting for us" he said his eyes locking with mine. "No, you don't get to do that, you don't get to make me feel bad" my voice trembled "I loved you Hardin, and you hurt me that's why I'm leaving" I turned to the door and walked out tears rolling down my face until I got in the cab

Hardins POV:

she'd left and I let her go what the fuck was I doing "fuck" I shouted waking around the apartment I was feeling so many emotions but the one that was taking over was anger. One fucking drunk kiss and it's over I grabbed whatever I could and smashed it on the floor she just gave up on us just like that she couldn't even let me explain properly.

Beths POV:

The trip back home felt as if it took years I kept checking my phone to see if he'd text or called but I guess he was sticking by what he said. I can't be mad, he told me what would happen if I left and I still went.
I'd called my mom the night before and told her everything that had happened so when I came home she was at the driveway waiting for me and as soon as I got out of the cab she embraced me with her arms. "How are you doing?" She asked placing my cup of tea on the table "I'm ok" I sighed lying through my teeth "you deserve better, he doesn't know what he's missing out on any guy would kill to have you darling" she smiled. But maybe I don't want better. I want him. I fell in love with him.

I know this is a short chapter but I promise there's some drama coming!
