"I didn't kiss her back, Y/N! Please trust me. I love you, not her."

Stephen was desperate for you to trust him. After what happened, he was afraid you might hate him. He looked at you with teary eyes and he was ready if you wanted to yell at him or hit him.

But you didn't.

You just sat there and cried. Your eyes were red and puffy and you looked down the floor. Your hands were curled in fists, and that showed Stephen that you were containing your anger.

"Y/N, please say something."

He almost whimpered. You finally looked up at him and the sight of you made his heart ache.

Betrayal.

You felt betrayed and it was shown by the look in your eyes. Stephen sat beside you and squeezed your shoulders.

"I love you and I would never cheat on you, Y/N. She— She kissed me but you saw me before I push her away! I didn't mean to hurt you."

Oh, how he hoped that he could turn back time and kicked Sandra out of the house before you came home. But he didn't. He let the crazy woman came and forced him into a kiss, and you caught him before he got the chance to push her away.

"You— You can scream at me, yell at me, hit me— do whatever you want but please trust me, Y/N!"

Tears pooled in his eyes when you didn't say anything. You took a sharp breathe and stood up.

"I need time."

Stephen's eyes widen as he took your hand in his and stood up as well.

"No, no— Don't leave me.."

Stephen cried out. He loved you more than words could say, so he couldn't bear if you leave him. You were his world.

"Stephen, I need time to think. I'm not going to leave you, but I want to give us a break."

You pulled your hand out of his grasp and walked to your room, packing your things for a short vacation. Stephen didn't stop you. He was lucky enough that you didn't break up with him.

"Please come back, love."

He kissed your forehead softly before you leave. You smiled sadly at him and nodded.

"I'll wait for you, Y/N."

...

That was two weeks ago. You still had the image of him kissing another woman playing in your head again and again.

You knew Stephen loved you. You knew Stephen was loyal to you. You knew that he would never cheat on you.

But that day was still fresh on your mind. You were back from work, what you wanted was just to hug Stephen after a long day. But as you walked into the house, you saw Sandra and your boyfriend.

Of course, you wanted to believe that Sandra was the one who kissed him. But why would he let that woman came into his house after he knew that she was crazy of him and would do anything to break your relationship.

"Y/N, it's been.. Two days. I miss you, but I know you need time. I hope you're okay, Y/N. I love you."

You played the voicemail that he sent to you two days after you left. You didn't call him or text him since then. You wanted to get away from for awhile and see if he really needed you— and if you really needed him.

"Hi, love. I know you don't want to talk to me yet. But can you please call me if you have time? I just.. Miss you so much."

That was from four days after you left. You played another voicemail from him, silently was missing him too. But you never reached out from him. Not yet.

"I know I should stop doing this. You want a break from us, but I just want to say that.. I love you. Please come home soon, I promise I'll be better for you."

Be better for you? Five days after you left. You shook your head and sighed. Stephen was a good man, and you couldn't ask him to be any better than that. He was perfect in your eyes.

Until that one mistake.

"Hello, Y/N. I saw your pictures on Instagram. You're on a vacation with some friends? Well, I hope you're happy there. Stay safe. I love you."

While you didn't tell him on how you were spending your break, you still posted pictures on your social media. You knew Stephen could see you there, you just wanted to let him know that you were doing alright. You knew that he was worried for you.

"That's a nice vacation, love. The ice cream picture that you posted, has left me wanting for one. By the way, I met Wong today and he asked about you. He missed you too, but not as much as I do."

You cracked a smile and sighed deeply. You missed him too, way too much that it hurt.

"Y/N? Are you still mad at me?"

"You trust me, right?"

"I want you here with me, Y/N. I love you. Good night."

A tear escaped your eye as you heard his voice cracked and a sob came out of his lips. You put a hand on your mouth to stop yourself from sobbing.

"I'm coming home, Stephen."

You heard another voicemail from him, it was from yesterday.

"I can't live without you, Y/N. I'm a mess and I'm sorry if our house is a mess too now because I don't know how to keep things in place.."

You chuckled under your breathe at this point. He continued:

"I don't even know how did I live before I met you. In fact, you're my life. You are the reason that wake up everyday, hoping that you would be in my arms sleeping. You are the reason that I still smiling, hoping that you would come and see me. You are the reason for everything. I love you."

You looked at your suitcase and a smile spreaded on your face. You were ready now. You were ready to be in his arms again. You were ready to come home.

You walked out of the building with a smile on your face. You tried to call Stephen and let him know that you were coming home, but he didn't pick up your call. So you decided to leave him a voicemail.

"Hello, Stephen. I— I think I took the time that I need. Two weeks are enough for me to figure out that I can't live without you. I trust you and I know that you would never cheat on me to hurt me. You are the best part of my life, Stephen and I won't let us go."

You were talking that you didn't realize a car was speeding towards you. You didn't know that the driver was drunk and he couldn't react to you that was standing near his car.

"Whatever happens, we'll get through it together. I'm coming home to you, and I lo—"

The voicemail was sent.

But you were gone.

...

Stephen's eyes grew wide as he noticed that you called him. He was stupid enough not to answer it. He was too shocked. A grin spreaded on his face when he thought that you were coming home.

A voicemail from you made his heartbeat raced rapidly against his chest.

"Hello, Stephen. I— I think I took the time that I need. Two weeks are enough for me to figure out that I can't live without you. I trust you and I know that you would never cheat on me to hurt me. You are the best part of my life, Stephen and I won't let us go."

Happy tears welled in his eyes as he thought of you be back in his longing arms. Your voice made a tear rolled down his cheek. He was eternally grateful to hear your voice again.

"Whatever happens, we'll get through it together. I'm coming home to you, and I lo—"

Then he heard it.

The crash.

...

"We're so sorry to let you know that Ms Y/N L/N has been in a car accident and we failed to save her."

A drunk driver. Stephen felt his heart was crushed and his soul was dead just like you. You has brought his heart away with you when you were gone.

"She didn't even get to say that she loves me."

Wong just watched as his friend mourned over his dead girlfriend. He couldn't do anything to help him even if he wished that he could.

"She said she was coming home. She didn't know that she was my home. She is my home."
