I sat on the frosty bench in the park staring at the same spot my girlfriend
was linzi my world the dimond in my heart the only one who kept it beating now she was gone coz of one stupid mistake it was
here on this exact bench i first asked her out three years ago she helped me through good and bad times was always there for
me but wanted nothing in return just my love,heart and soul i loved her i still do but why did i do it sleep with another
woman the other night it ate me up inside not telling her so i had to tell her wish i hadn't now why me why was i so stupid
"alright mate where's linzi" duncan said sitting down which made me burst into tears "she's gone" i cried "what happened"
dunk asked concerned.

an hour ago.
"linzi" i said my voice quivering
"yeah babe" she asked smiling like she always did
"i have something to tell you" i replied looking down
"what" she asked her smile fading ever so slightly
"i..i..i slept with somebody else last friday" i stuttered
"HOW COULD YOU" she shouted tears forming in her eyes
"thanks lee for killing my heart never loved anyone as much as you" she said
with her voice shaking
"i love you" i replied
"if you loved me you wouldn't of done it then would you" she said through
gritted teeth trying to stop the tears from falling
"i'm sorry please forgive me" i asked
"how do i know you won't do that again" she said back
"i won't"
"lee just stop" she said and she ran off out of the park i tried running
after her but was rooted to the spot why me why

~LINZI~
I ran outta the park after what lee had told me tears streaming down my face
must of looked a right state but i didn't care all's i knew was i had to get away from that love rat who i thought loved me
obviously not how could he? was the constent question going around and around in my head i bumped straight into somebody and
fell to the ground
"sorry" a familiar manly voice said i lifted my head
"linzi whats wrong" antony asked
"its lee he cheated on me last friday when i was ill and couldn't go out
clubbing" i said my voice shaking from all the crying i had done
"oh no how could he and especially after what he told me yesterday" ant said
then flung his hand upto his mouth
"oops" ant said
"what" i asked franticly
"he was going to ask you to marry him" ant said
"fat chance of that now isn't there" i shouted then hugged ant
"antony could you do me a huge favour" i asked
"sure babe" he replied
"tell the others good bye i'm leaving the country for a few weeks maybe months
but i'll be back someday" i said and kissed a shocked ant on the cheek then left to back my bags for rome i'd booked tickets
a while back as a present to lee i'd always wanted to go and oh sh*t i've told lee i've wanted to go but i've already got
the tickets so i'm not gonna change them but who to take i know i picked up my phone and dialled vicky's number
"hey hun whats up" she answered
"fancy a holiday to rome" i asked
"but weren't you and l.. whats happened" she asked
"i'll tell you later just get your bags packed for a few weeks to two months
ok" i said
"ok" she replied
"pick you up in an hour or so" i said back and hung up.
~ANT~
I walked to the park i knew lee would be there as it was his and linzi favourite
place to be sure enough lee was sat on the exact bench with duncan i broke into a run
"lee what the fuck have you done" i shouted
"i don't know" lee said and burst out crying
"well mate you've well and truly killed linzi's heart as she's leaving the
country for a few weeks maybe months" i told them
"did she tell you where she was going" lee stood up suddenly
"no" i replied my phone beeped 1 msg received ~hi ant vicky's coming with
me tell lee i love him still but i need to think things through bye luv linzi~ i sighed deeply
"she still loves you mate" i said to lee as i showed him the msg
"we've got to get to vicky's" lee said and ran as fast as his legs could
carry him and out into the road into a speeding car duncan and i ran after him
"lee are you ok" i asked
"fine i just need to get to linzi" he said not caring about his pain the
car speed off straight away another car was coming along the road i read the number plate as it stopped CYI H8U it was linzi
she got out the car
"oh no LEE" she screamed and collapsed at his side
"lee" she said
"babe" he replied she gave him a cold look
"i'm so sorry" he replied
"i know but i need to get away for a while" she replied
"please don't leave me i can't breathe easy without you"
"should of thought of that before" linzi stopped as lee cried some more she
couldn't take it seeing him crying so she got in her car said
"lee i'll never stop loving you bye" and drove around lee to vicky's i presumed
"i just wanna die" lee said as he slowly stood up and hobbled up the road
following the direction linzi's car went
"lee stop" i cried out
"i'm losing the love of my life i need her back" he replied
"lee she'll come around you know she will let her have some space will ya"
duncan said which made lee turn around and walk back to us
"come on lets get you to the hospital dunk car" i said
"its around the corner i'll go get it" duncan left and came back a few minutes
later with his car and drove lee to the accident and emergancy department of the hospital.
~VICKY~
I waited for linzi had my bags packed something bad must of happened between
her and lee i thought to myself as the doorbell went
"ready" linzi said straight away
"yeah are you gonna tell me what happened" i asked
"i will later on the plane" she replied taking two of the suitcase's sneaky
cow i thought to myself it would be to late to turn around and come back by then but its her choice we got in the car and
drove to the airport checked in and boarded the plane to rome hope linzi knows what she's doing
"so spill" i said as we sat down
"last friday when i was ill lee cheated on me he told me earlier and i couldn't
believe it so i had to leave i had wonderful news to tell him as well" she finished
"which was"
"nothing anymore" she replied and looked out the window as the plane took
off.
~DUNCAN~
Me and ant were waiting outside the xray room while lee was having xrays
done god what has he done i could of killed him coz of what his done to linzi as she plays hard to get believe me i know maybe
she just didn't see me that way but i wouldn't know she told ant everything being her best friend since her the age of two
and ant four but i had to know if she's always liked lee coz she went with him straight away
"ant"
"yeah mate" he answered
"has linzi always like lee and did she ever like me" i asked
"always liked you but had a huge thing for lee why" he answered and asked
"no reason just wondered" ant nodded then the xray room door opened
"i've only got three broken ribs" lee said smiling then it faded
"well i've gotta get a bandage put on then i'm going to look for linzi in
every country" lee answered
"lee did those xrays do something to your brain" ant answered i shot him
a look
"ant its lee we're talking about" i said as i chuckled a bit and ant laughed
"oi" lee said but also laughed.
~LINZI~
The plane had touched down and everyone was un-boarding it me and vicky were

"lee i'm dissapointed in you but at least you told her you could of kept
it bottled up inside and she would of found out from someone else but sorry hun i'm afraid she's not here"
"ok thanks mairi bye"

~LINZI~
Me and vicky were sat against the beach wall in rome away from home and away
from lee i couldn't face him for a while i hope his alright though i mean he had just been hit by a car i rang ant
"hi ant is lee ok"
"well apart from three broken ribs yeah and a huge broken heart" i heard

"yeah what is he doing now"
"well he's going to search the whole world looking for you"
"WHAT he can't do that its only me"
"yeah well your the dimond in his heart" awww no i can't go back i thought
"well i'm not coming back just yet" i answered
"promise you won't tell him"
"i won't i said bear didn't i"
"yeah well i better go now bye ant"
"c ya"
"hey linz is that" vicky asked pointing over to a group of girls playing
vollyball
"it is" i jump down from the wall and started to run over to them
"well haven't seen you in a long time" i said laughing they turned their
heads to look at me
"linzi,vicky" they screamed and ran to hug us it was my old gang from school
~hannah,laura,tina,niki,lorna,leigh and amy~
"so what you doing here still with lover boy lee" laura said laughing
"not exactly just taking abit of breathing space" i said please don't ask
why please don't ask why i said to myself in my head
"oh ok" she answered
"so what are you doing here"
"duh were doing that travelling for six months that we told you about but
you wouldn't come cos you wanted to stay with lee and vicky didn't wanna leave with us because..." tina said then searched
for an answer
"i didn't wanna leave my best mate" vicky answered
"so when are you coming back to london to go to uni"
"2 months" hannah answered
"how long you staying for" lorna asked i raised my hands
"don't know few weeks months"
"cool so is it really that bad between you and lee" niki asked
"look i don't really wanna talk about it" i answered
"well we've got lots of catching up to do" leigh said
"lets go to that cafe we ain't ate yesterday" amy suggested i nodded and
we made our way up to this cafe they were taking us to
Two Hours Later.
After a long chat about what we had been upto in the last four months the
subject of lee came up again as i had stopped talking and was staring into space
"linzi" hannah asked grabbing my attention instantly
"yeah hun" i asked
"you thinking about lee" niki suddenly piped up i nodded then burst into
tears which resulted in all my mates giving me a comforting hug
"tell us what happened please so we can understand more" leigh asked i told
them what had happend and they listened to all of what i had to say i waited for what they were going to say
"the little scumbag" tina answered first trust her to say something like
that
"do you still love him" amy asked i cried somemore as i nodded my head
"i know your gonna hate me saying this but you really should go back instead
of running away from the problem" laura said she was right though
"i think you should go back to him before you lose him for good" lorna said
"i think i should to but he hurt me so much" i replied vicky looked down
at the floor
"but he was gonna ask you to marry him so he won't give up" she suddenly
said
"WHAT" was the answer from the others
"go back to him linzi please" hannah said
"i'm staying here for a bit after all whats the use in wasting a ticket"
i replied with a smile.
FEW HOURS LATER
"I'm tired so i'm going to bed" i said to vicky
"what your never tired is something wrong" she questioned
"no i am tired thats all" i said and went into my room and led on the bed
and thought i had to tell lee something 'VERY' important earlier this morning but i couldn't after what he had confessed to
sleeping with another woman my phone ringing broke my trail of thought
"hello" i answered
"alright sis" mairi i thought "
hi mairi hun how are you i've missed you so much when you moving back to
england" i said in one breathe she sighed deeply
"yeah soon i've missed you to"
"and duncan" i interupted then her and i both laughed
"yeah whats this between you and lee" she asked
"how do you know"
"lee rung me told me everything"
"oh" was all i said
"he really misses you hun please go back to him" she said
"i am but i'm staying here for a week need to clear my head and figure out
how to tell lee i'm..." I paused
"your what linz" mairi asked
"i think i might be p...p...pregnant" i finally said
"thats great babes" mairi replied which made me smile
"i know but its complicated now if you know what i mean" i answered
"i know well i better go now bye"
"mairi" i said
"yeah"
"don't you dare tell lee ok"
"i wont marzi ok"
"bye" i said and hung up i knew i could trust her after she said 'marzi'
you see me,ant and mairi were close and when younger we used to say bear,marzi and linx when we made a promise to each other
bear was antony as he loved bears and now he could probably be a bear considering his hairyness marzi was because i couldn't
say mairi's name when i was younger and linx not really sure why though and its a thing thats just stuck ever since i laughed
as i thought about this when my phone rang again privet number
"hello" i said unsure of who was on the other end
"hi linzi" i heard lee's voice i sighed with relief
"hey lee" i replied
"are you ok" he asked
"sure" i said going quiet
"where are you when you coming home"
"not telling you and i'll be home sometime next week some old mates set me
straight gotta go now lee bye hun"
"wait" he said
"what"
"i love you you do know that"
"yeah i do i love you to and i can't wait to tell you some exciting news
when i get back" i said and hung up before he could say anything else i switched my phone off and climbed into the bed where
i fell asleep quickly.
_________________
The day i say goodbye to rome and go back home
~LINZI~
It was
the day i was going home i missed lee so much even after what he had done. Me and vicky were meeting the others to say goodbye
and then we were leaving "bye girls we'll miss you" "we'll miss you 2 see you in a few months bye" they said as we boarded
the plane.
A few hours laters
We were in a taxi on our way back to my house it was a nice break and really helped
me decide on my feelings lee was mine i was his and he was going to be a daddy to a little girl/boy i couldn't wait to tell
him the taxi dropped us off outside vicky's house where i had left my car "cya later vicky" i said and drove off to my house
where lee was waiting on my doorstep he lept up when he saw my car well with a number plate like CYI H8U who could forget
it i parked turned the engine off and opened the car door within seconds lee had his arms around me and was holding me tightly
"i missed you" he said and kissed the top of my head "lee let me go" i said he let me go instantly "whats wrong" he asked
his smile turning into a frown "nothing its freezing and i just wanna get my bags in my house and get warm" i said and opened
the car boot and took out my stuff lee came upto me and took my luggage "you go open the door" he said as i slamed the boot
shut i walked up to the door and opened it going inside and waiting for lee he came into the lounge and sat beside me on the
sofa he wrapped his arms around me but i pulled away "you hate me don't you" he asked "no i don't hate you i love you but
there really is something i need to tell you" lee said nothing just stared at me blankley "i'm going" "not again" he said
in desperation which made me laugh "what" he asked confused "will you let me finish" i said "sorry" he apologized "i'm going
to have your baby" i said then looked down at the floor i caught a glimpse of his smile spreading across his face i waited
for him to say something "thats the most wonderful news i've ever heard" he said "can i ask you something" lee asked and took
me by the hand lee stood up and so did i "be back in a minute" lee said and walked out of the living room living me standing
there in anticapation he came back his hand behind his back then he produced a blue velvet box "will you marry me" he said
while opening the box "i will" i replied lee slid the ring on my finger before sweeping me up into a hug.
~LEE~
I'm the happiest man alive right now i've got my girl who's expecting
my baby what could possibly go wrong now i thought to myself as i held linzi in my arms that night i stared out of the window
the curtains were open so i could see the stars shining brightly in the sky one in particular beamed brighter i sighed and
a smile broke out across my face i was thinking about the star and how beautiful it looked linzi stirred in my arms "ain't
you a sleep yet" she said opening her eyes and looking up at me "nope to excited to sleep" i said linzi sat up and rested
her head on my shoulder "ryan's star" she said "what" i asked "the brightest one ryan's star our family star" she spoke so
nicely "yeah" i agreed i slid down the bed to get more comftable as did linzi i put my arm around her and placed my hand on
her stomach and fell sound asleep.
The next day
~LINZI~
I woke up in lee's arms he was still asleep
i carefully got out of his grip and stood up beside the bed "where do you think your going" lee said pulling me back down
onto the bed "lee c'mon its 10 we need to tell people our wonderful news" i said giving him a kiss "stay in bed for a little
longer please" lee said and pulled puppy dog eyes "oh lee you know i can't resist you normally but this time i am" i said
going to get back up again lee took my wrist pulled me back down and climbed on top of me "lee" i giggled he kissed me passionetly
and tender i pushed him away after a while and managed to get up from the bed "LEE RYAN GET OUTTA THAT BED NOW" i shouted
which must of shocked him "ok ok i'm up i'm up" he said and sprang out of bed he went out the room to the bathroom i got dressed
and went down stairs lee soon joined me his hair looking perfect "so where do we start" he said looking at the phone "mairi"
i replied my older sister should be the first to know after all she's the only family i've got left. I picked up the phone
and dialled mairi's number "hey" she answered cheerfully "hi sis when you coming down again" "in two weeks why" "coz me and
lee are getting married how long you staying for" "forever" "what" "i'm coming to live back in england btw would u mind if
i stayed with you while i find somewhere to live over there" "stay as long as u need to" i replied "great see ya then bye"
"bye" i hung up "so i guess she's staying here" lee said "no really" i said sacasticly he pulled me down onto his lap and
switched the tv on "lee i have to call more people" i said "no you don't while you were on the phone to your sister i called
everyone and we are going to a club tonight to celebrate" "lee your so unpredictable you know that" "yep" he replied and i
kissed him on the cheek which got lee going into fall on snog mode.
"Lee get off" i said pushing him away "what" he asked innocently "i've gotta
meet antony in town" i replied "sure he won't mind if your a little late" i narrowed my eyes at him "ok" lee sighed i kissed
him "later" i replied and went out the door and got into my car i drove to town and met ant in the local cafe "so whats the
news" he asked as i sat down "well me and lee are back together getting married infact and i'm pregnant" ant almost choked
"pregnant" he spluttered "thats what i said" i replied sarcasticly "thats great" he said getting up and hugging me "so whats
the news in your life" i asked 'i got together with emma" he replied hesitating i hadn't really seen eye to eye with emma
"are you ok with that" he asked "of course i am there's nothing wrong with emma" i replied "good" ant said i could see the
tension from telling me flush from his face i chuckled as i took a sip of my hot chocolate "can tell i'm back in bloody england"
i said shivering ant laughed "well better be going can't leave lee alone for to long" ant looked at me weirdly "what" "you
left him for a whole week" "yeah but he wasn't left alone in my house well our house now" i said ant smiled and nodded his
head "true" he said "take care" i said hugging and giving him a kiss on the cheek "oh hi emma" i said going out the door as
she was coming in "hey linz btw is everything cool between us now" she asked "as cool as ice" i replied and left to go home
to lee.
I sent a text to lee saying i was on my way back he sent
one back saying ~could you stay out for about an hour longer~ puzzled i replied ~yeah ok~ then i turned around and walked
back to the cafe "mind if i join you two" i said as i walked up to ant and emma's table "sure" emma answered i sat down and
ordered another hot chocolate "so why the sudden change of plan" ant asked "lee sent me a text saying could i stay in town
for another hour" i replied "oooh" emma said "what" i asked "nothing" she nodded with a smirk on her face "ok" i laughed slightly
and took a sip of my hot chocolate "could you give us a lift back then" ant asked "where's your car" i asked "garage" i nodded
and took another sip.
An hour or more later.
Ant looked down at his watch "going then" he asked "why whats the
time" "6.00" i gulped god don't time fly by when you don't pay attention to it. i stood up and went to the door ant and emma
followed we got into my car and drove home "you staying at ant's em" i asked as i stopped outside his house "yeah" she replied
and they both got out the car i drove down the road to my house i got out the car and locked it. i walked upto my front door
and went in the whole house was dark and gloomy "lee" i called no answer i took my jacket off and hung it up then ran upstairs
"lee" i called again i went into the bedroom,bathroom and spare rooms "LEE" i shouted going down the stairs once more i'd
searched the whole house except the dinning room i was going to walk in when the door swung open lee was stood there "lee
why didn't you answer me if you were here and why is the house all dark" i asked placing my hands on my hips "shh" he said
going round the back of me and placing his hand over my eyes "lee what are you doing" i giggled "just walk" he said softly
i walked "turn" i turned "look" he said taking his hand away from my eyes i gasped "lee" i sighed happily he had cooked me
a beautiful candel lit dinner i sat down at the table and lee sat at the other end "so whats all this for" i asked picking
up my glass of wine and taking a sip "coz i love you" he replied "i love you to and can't wait to spend the rest of my life
with you" i answered "thats the only glass your having by the way" lee said "i know" i smiled. After we had finished i went
to clear the plates away "sit" lee said getting up and taking the plates and glasses i got up and tucked my chair under and
blew out the candels then went through to the kitchen where lee had started to wash up "leave it" i said taking his hand out
of the hot water "but i've got t..." i cut him off by giving him a tender passionate kiss we pulled away after a while i took
him by the hand and led him upstairs...
