Friday nights seemed to be the only time you had free, normally up to your neck in Uni work. Studying sport psychology was super interesting but also very tiresome. Luckily, this Friday was planned to be exciting as your boyfriend , Mason, and yourself had planned to have a date night at home. This was a rare occarance due to both of your schedules being hectic and inconvenient, therefore the thrill of tonight's movie night was exciting you with each minute that passed.
Mason had training at 4 and had arranged to come back home for around 7. This was all planned out and had been for weeks, even written bold on a post note that hung on the fridge in your shared home in Chelsea. The 4 hour gap gave you a chance to set everything up,which meant your perfectionist self could ensure everything was exactly how you envisioned it to be. Remembering Mason had been put on a strict meal plan by his dietician, you went to the nearest supermarket to try and find him some low calorie snacks as you didn't want him to not enjoy the night to it's fullest. Pulling up back home, you placed the halo top in the freezer, protein bars and other treats in the cupboard. Everything was set up perfectly! You had managed to make the living room even cosy than normal with a low orange lighting on the LED lights that followed around the room. Plush cushions and blankets lay on the floor in a makeshift fort you had created , extremely proud of your efforts as it was a task and a half.
There was nothing that could ruin this, or so you thought.

It was shortly coming up to 8pm and the waiting game had been going on for way longer than expected. To say you were angry was an understatement. You were livid. All this effort for him to not even reciprocate it and leave you waiting. Normally an understanding girlfriend, you tried to stay positive but you were aware training had finished due to snaps from other players girlfriends at home with their girlfriends. You'd texted him but he hadn't bothered to reply to you or give you any reassurance he was on his way.

It was a pain that stung like a knife cutting through you. He was round Declan's house and seemed to be having the time of his life. Dec posted a snap of the pair and his girlfriend around a table all tucking into food,that you couldn't help feel envious of. What made matters worse, was the fact that Masons phone was laying directly in front of him. This meant there was a high chance he had in fact seen your message but chose to ignore it, having too much fun with other people. Tears welled up in your eyes and you couldn't help but let them fall, you had taken the night to please him with all your efforts and he couldn't care less. You couldn't help but feel so isolated from everyone , seeing them so happy, you didn't even get an invite. You decided to call Declans girlfriend and see what was going on. After a few rings she picked up," Y/N! Hi babe, you okay?" she asked oblivious to the situation. You replied with a shaky breath and the tears continued to pour. She could sense something was wrong and began to question you on what had happened. You explained everything to her and she was shocked, not aware of Masons selfish actions. She was angry herself, fuming to say the least. Telling you she was going to have a word you decided to end the call as you acknowledged that there was something bad about to happen.

The tears became more violent and you could sense a panic attack beginning to rise. Mason was always normally there to support you , but not today. It got extremely hard to breathe , impossible even. Feeling faint, you couldn't turn the air conditioning on or even open a window. Suddenly, a gust of wind from the door wept through the house and someone you'd rather not be around rushed through. "I am so sorry my love, I lost track of time and I-", Mason was cut off by your gasps and your plead for him to help. He ran to the windows and kneeled down in-front of where you had sat. "Breathe in, and out", he repeated in an attempt to ease your erratic breathing. Although you were extremely angry at him, your breathing was the most of your concerns at present so you took his advice. Once you had calmed down, you took your hands from his grasp and headed upstairs. You couldn't be bothered for any excuses or pleads from your boyfriend, so instead decided it be best that you just got yourself to bed. "Y/N please talk to me" Mason begged, not far from you. His paces weren't quick enough to catch up with you before you shut the door and locked it, meaning there was no way he could give you the puppy dog eyes that seemed to work everytime. He slid down the door with a thump and a sigh that could be heard from the other side. You followed suit and leant against the door, not sure on what to do or say. The plan of going to bed was cut short by an immense feeling of betrayal that crept back up. "Why did you do it Mase? This was in the works for ages and the one night I wanted to spend with my boyfriend, he ditches me with no warning" you sobbed. "Babe-" you cut him off before he could even continue. "No don't you dare! Don't you fucking dare! I spent so much time getting everything ready and you couldn't even bother to turn up. I could've been studying for a degree that will benefit my future, that will get me places. You were meant to be a part of that future" you were spitting the words out at this point, so angry with the immaturity that was evident within the boy. How could he think you'd forgive him after this? You knew you'd maybe taken it a bit far with the future and saying he was 'meant to be' apart of it, almost insinuating that he was no longer in the picture. His heart felt like it had been ripped from his chest when you spoke, ashamed of how he'd treated you, and the impact it was about to have. "Please let me explain" Mason spoke softly, trying not to anger you anymore and attempting not to break down after what you just said. Your silence was an indication for him to continue. "We finished training earlier than expected, I didn't want to come back because I knew you wanted the house to yourself to get everything ready. Dec invited me over for a while and I didn't think much of it. My phones always on 'do not disturb' when i'm at training and my foolish self didn't think to turn it back on. They offered for me to join them at dinner and seeing as the time wasn't near to when I needed to be back, I accepted. Looking back on it, I shouldn't have because we were eating anyway but I needed to kill the time. I know you saw the picture and yes my phone was in front of me, but I hadn't been on it whatsoever. My love I promise you with my whole heart, you can even check my last activity on it, I only put it on the table because it was digging into my tracky pockets. I idiotically lost track of time and the scolding from Lauren was enough to tell me I'd fucked up. If I could change tonight's outcome I would, but I can't. And for that I'm so so sorry, but the night is still young and I'm more than ready to go down there now and do everything we planned. I understand if you don't but I don't want you to ever think I don't appreciate what you do for me, but I do and I love you more than you will ever know. I'm sorry darling". Mason's speech had left you in a pool of tears, all you wanted was to hug him and forget any of this had happened. You got up off the floor, hearing him do the same, and opened the door that had been a barrier between the both of you. Not saying a word, he pulled you in for a hug. Stroking your hair and kissing your forehead, he kept repeating how sorry he was. Looking up from the crook of his neck, you stared into his eyes and he used his thumbs to wipe away your tears that had been falling for a respectable amount of time. He pecked your lips, "I love you". "I love you too" you replied with a faint smile. "How about we go back downstairs and get back to your amazing set up?" he smirked. You replied with a shy smile and a nod. Never could you stay mad at this boy, he was way too good to you for you to remain mad at him for a once in a blue moon mistake.
