"Are you coming?"

I hears Louis shout to me while I was in the bathroom taking a shower.

I got out of the shower and dressed myself. "I am almost done Lou."

We were about to go to a party Louis was invited to. It was in London so we were staying in a hotel room to get ready and spent the night after the party.

I slid on my little black dress and curled my hair.

"You look gorgeous." Louis smiled at me as he saw me getting ready.

"Thank you." I got to him and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

"What was the party for again?" I asked him.

"It's some album release party that my brother was involved with." Louis explained. "He helped producing the thing."

I smiled. "Your brother must be very talented."

"What's the albums name?"

Louis grabbed his phone and searched for the name. "Ah, right here! It's called... Tranquility Base hotel and Casino."

I nodded gently. "Sounds fancy."

...

(At the venue of the party)

We came to this fancy ass building, filled with people and champagne. Louis and I went to the bar area to get some air from the large crowd.

"Omg Bella?!" I heard a voice say.

I turn around and see Mona standing behind me with a glass of champagne in her hand.

"MONA! Omg it's been such a long time!" I jumped of my barstool and gave Mona a big hug.

"What are you doing here?!" She said excitedly.

"Louis' brother invited us to this party." I said.

Mona looked confused. "Oh, well I didn't know you two were friends again."

I looked at her. "Friends with who?"

And in that moment, I hear a voice speaking through the speakers.

"Thank you everyone, for coming to our album release celebration. I hope you will enjoy it."

I felt goosebumps on my skin.

That voice.... it can't be.

Can it?

I turned around and looked on the stage.

I never thought I would see this again

The Arctic motherfucking Monkeys were standing on the stage. Playing what appeared to be their first song on their new album.

Everyone was shouting and dancing, but I felt numb. I couldn't even hear a damn thing.

There he was, he was sitting behind the keyboard. With his sandcoloured suit and messy looking hair.

I kept staring and felt my eyes tearing up.

Then, he looked into the crowd and saw me standing there.

"Fuck"

I murmured.

Then, I turned around and left the room.

I quickly took the elevator to the rooftop. "This is only a dream... it can't be." I kept thinking to myself while standing in the little moving box.

I arrived at the rooftop and sat down on a bench. I looked at the city lights and tried to calm myself down.

"Bella, are you okay?" I heard Louis behind me and I nodded.

"I am fine..." I said before frowning my brows. "Why didn't you tell me the album party was from the arctic monkeys?" I snapped.

"Well, I didn't know why you would care?" Louis looked confused.

"Didn't you see him on that stage? Didn't you see my ex boyfriend playing there?" I stood up and turned around.

"What?! Oh was that Alex?" Louis looked surprised.

"Yes you stupid fuck." I rolled my eyes and turned back around to look at the city lights again.

"I am sorry, I didn't know Alex was part of the Arctic Monkeys." Louis said.

"I have told you atleast 10 times, you know, when you helped me to get over him." I said. "Did you even pay attention to me at all?"

"I only payed attention to your beautiful smile." Louis said and grabbed my waist from behind.

I shook him off. "I was crying all the time! I can't believe how stupid you are..."

"Stop calling me stupid! I was just trying to get your mind off, you talked about that fucker all the damn time!" Louis was yelling at this point.

I turned around and faced him. "Oh, so now I am the problem?"

"I suppose so?" He rolled his eyes.

"Wow..." I laughed sarcastically. "This? This is over."

"You still love him huh?" Louis yelled.

I looked at him confused with tears in my eyes.

"Sure... have a fun life with your ex boyfriend that fucks other women because he never loved you back." Louis said and walked away.

"FUCK YOU!" I yelled, but he was already gone.

I sat down on the bench again and held my head between my hands. Before I knew it, I was sobbing.

"Jesus christ....." I said in between sobs.

Almost an hour past and I was still sitting the same bench. I didn't know what to do anymore. I couldn't go back down. So I stayed there just a little longer.

I heard the rooftop door behind opened and closed. Then footsteps came closer to me.

"I-... I-.. Hi." A voice said.

I turned my head around and saw Alex standing behind me. His face changed when he saw my tears on my cheeks.

"Hey are you okay?" He asked and sat next to me.

I shook my head without looking at him.

"Why did you come here?" I asked.

"I just finished the show, and wanted to talk. Just talk." He said. "You seem upset."

I looked down.

He sighed. "I know last time we spoke wasn't the best thing, but you can still talk to me... I'll listen."

I looked at him sitting next to me.

"Congrats with the album." I said and smiled at him.

He smiled as well.

"Thank you. I didn't know you would come."

"Me neither." I said.

"So? How come you be here?" He asked.

"My ex boyfriend dragged me to this party, not giving a fuck it that I would be upset to see you again." I confessed.

"That's... understandable." Alex looked down.

"Yeah." I sighed. "I do want you to know that... I am not mad at you anymore. I am just hurt by what you did."

"I know, and I'll never forgive myself." He said and looked into my eyes.

"Bella, I don't know why I did what I did. But I do know that I've still loved you ever since."

I looked in his eyes.

"I don't expect anything from you to love me back or anything, but just know that I'll be here waiting for you." He said.

"I know... but it'll take time." I said with tears in my eyes. "I just don't know if I can trust you again." I started crying and collapsed into Alex his arms.

It felt comfortable and familiar. Something that I've missed over the past couple of years.

Alex' eyes started watering.

"I am sorry."
