————————————————————————

Have you ever been hurt so bad that the pain never goes away? Hurt by a loved one? It aches forever and it stays with you. I never knew how much pain I could receive till four years ago, 2015.

Past: Before the 2015 World Cup.

Tatum's POV:

"Hello?" I hear Christen's voice when she answers.

"Hey, babe," I say as I get get into the Uber.

"Hi, my love," I hear Christen say nervously.

"Are you ok?" I ask her as my eyebrows furrow.

"Yeah, I'm ok," she says.

"Alright, I just wanted-," I start but then I hear something through the call.

"What was that?" I ask confused.

"Nothing," she says quickly, "Just the TV."

"Ok," I say with a chuckle, "Just want to let you know that I'll be home in a week."

"That's great, baby. I can't wait to see you," Christen says which makes my heart swell.

"Same here. I have to go, I love you Chris," I say as the car starts to move.

"I love you too Tate," Christen says and I smile then we hang up.

After thirty minutes I arrive home. I pay the driver and grab my bags. Not wanting Christen to know it's me I knock on the door with a big smile.

The door opens and my smile instantly drops. Standing at the door is my best friend, Tobin Heath, wearing Christen's sweatshirt and a pair of sweatpants, along with messy hair. Tobin eyes are wide while she looks guilty and ashamed. While she looks at me I feel my heart breaking and I frown.

"Hey, babe. Who is it?" I hear the voice that I listened to a few minutes ago.

My chest tightens when Christen walks up behind Tobin. Her eyes widen when she sees me. Tears form in my eyes as I stare at Christen. She is wearing Tobin's t-shirt and her hair is the same as Tobin's.

"Tatum," Christen says quietly.

I don't say anything and grab my things. I turn around and start to walk away. I make my way down the street and call an Uber.

"Tate! Tatum wait!" I hear Christen yell.

I turn around to face her with tears streaming down my face. "What, Christen? What do you want?" I shout at her, "Are you going to tell me that you're sorry? I thought we were forever! I thought you loved me," I say with a shaky voice.

"I do love you," Christen says stepping forward me making me take a step back.

"No you don't," I say making Christen look at me softly, "How long?"

Christen's body tenses and doesn't say anything.

"How long?!" I yell.

"She's been here since you left," Christen replies quietly.

"Ok, so she's been here for two weeks, but how long have you've been cheating on me with her?" I ask her angrily.

She looks down, "Three months."

I scoff and I turn away. The Uber pulls up and I grab my bags. "Wait, Tatum, please," Christen pleads holding my wrist.

I snatch my wrist out of her grasp and put my things in the trunk. Christen stands in front of the door so I can't get in. "Move," I say sternly.

"No, please Tate. I love you," Christen says making the tears flow faster.

"No you don't. You're in love with my best friend," I say quietly and I hear quick footsteps approaching us.

I look and see Tobin with a desperate look on her face. I turn back to face Christen. "I'll have someone come get my things," I say gently pulling Christen out of the way.

"Go," I say as I quickly enter the car.

The driver speeds off and I turn to look out the window. Tobin is holding Christen as she cries in her arms.

I face the front and the aching pain surrounds my heart. Who knew the one's you cared about could hurt you so bad?

Goodbye Christen Press.
