Zoe POV

Putting the last of my things in my case I let out a deep sigh as I fasten the zip. I didn't want to be doing this, I didn't want to leave D but I had no choice. I had to go back home and get the divorce put to bed once and for all.

A part of me wishes I had just signed those damn papers but I wasn't about to let Todd drab D into something that was nothing to do with him.
As I run my hands over the top of my case strong arms wrap around me and soft lips touch my neck. I close my eyes and lean back against him, he holds me so close I can feel his heart beating.

I wrap my arms over the top of his and smile as his kisses travel along my shoulder.

"I'm going to miss you" I say quietly as his lips work their way up to my jaw line

"Then let me come with you" he whispers before gently nibbling on my ear lobe

"We've been over this D" I sigh "it's my issue, my problem, not yours and I have to sort this out of my own"

"I love you so it is my problem" he says "I want to be there for you"

"If I show up with you we play right into his little game" I say "he never should have brought you into this"

"Princesa he claimed I was violent" he says "how do you think it will look if you show up alone with that bruise on your face?"

"The make up girl gave me some foundation that will cover it" I say "it'll be fine I promise" Damian's hands move to my hips, he turns me to face him and I can see the hurt in his eyes

"When you're a couple, you're team, that means you don't have to go through things alone" he says cupping my cheek "but instead of letting me be there for you, you're pushing me away"

"I'm not pushing you away D, I would never do that" I say looking into his eyes "I just need to do this alone"

"Need to or want to?" He asks "is this how it's going to be? You pushing me away everytime there's a problem? How can you be in a relationship if you want to fly solo?"

"I love you and I want nothing more than to have you with me" I say placing my hands on his chest "but I know my ex, I show up with you he'll use it against me"

"Or maybe you just don't want to be seen with me" he says "ever since that phonecall we haven't been out on a single date, you go out alone and we have separate rooms, we've been together six months and we don't share a room"

"D you're being ridiculous right now" I say stepping back from him

"I'm being ridiculous?" He asks "your my girlfriend and you're acting like your single but I'm being ridiculous"

"Well if that's how you feel Damian maybe I should be" I say grabbing my case "I have a flight to catch"

Damian POV

Zoe walks out of the room and the door slams shut behind her and I just stand there, unable to move and unable to believe what I had just done.

I had royally fucked up, I let my anger and insecurities get in the way and now I had lost her. I'd lost my princesa, my reason to smile, the woman I loved.
Sinking down onto the bed I put my head in my hands and let the tears fall, there was no point going after her, I'd messed up and there was no way to put this right.

She needed me to be understanding and instead I accused her of things that I know in my heart weren't true. It just proved my point I don't deserve her and she deserves better.

These last six months with her had been the happiest of my life and now it was over, everything in me wanted to run after her but in my heart I knew there was no point, in the end I was the one that pushed her away and I have to live with that.

Spotting a t shirt she had left on the bed I pick it up and hold it close to me inhaling her scent. I always loved how tiny she seemed in my arms, almost delicate and holding her is what I was going to miss the most.

I walk over to the window just in time to see her walking up to her cab, she looks up and her eyes meet mine for second before she looks down at the ground. Shaking her head she gets in the cab and it drives away, taking my whole world with it.
