"Where are you going?"

Aidan turned to look at his girlfriend.

"At the club with the boys to celebrate. I didn't ask you because I know you never wanna come. No matter how much I ask you too"

He wished she would come. It wasn't fun without her and he really preferred to stay with her at home than go clubbing with the Boyd. There were always some stupid women who would try and hit on him, despite the fact that they knew he had a girlfriend. One that he loved with all his heart. So Aidan didn't like going out, but he couldn't say no to his mates either. They were his friends.

"Oh" was her only response.

He instantly became concerned. She sounded tired and resigned and...

"Annie? Are you alright?"

"Yes, I am. Why wouldn't I be?"

Still he could tell she really wasn't.

"What's wrong? And don't you dare lie to me. I know something is wrong."

Annie sighed.

"I've met your fiancée today"

Aidan looked at her as she'd grown two heads.

"Who? You are my girlfriend and I am not cheating on you" he exclaimed frantically.

"Your ex silly. She wants you back and she kept me a long lecture of how she will win you back and made you realise how unworthy I am of you. And that tonight..."

Aidan could take no more

"Annie, you know that it is not true. You are more than worthy. I love you and only you. And you are the only one for me. Let her say what she wants. I would never ever hurt you, cheat on you. Surely you must know it."

Aidan looked at her, but she wasn't looking at him, but at the floor.

"Annie? You don't believe that I ... that I ...I would..."he coudn't finish, he didn't even want to think about it.

She lifted her head and stared at him in the eyes.

"I do not. I trust you Aidan. But ever since she came to me, I have her voice in my head repeating over and over that I am no good, that one day you will be tired of me and that she will be waiting. And that she will show you what you've been missing. And I hate it! I hate it!"she broke down into sobs, tears on her face.

Aidan rushed to her side and hugged her tight.

"Shhh love. That's never ever going to happen. I love you and I will never get tired of you. I promise. And it is not what I've been missing, it's what she is been missing behaving like that. You are the only one for me"he whispered and kissed her softly.

"And you for me. I love you"

"Come,let's go to bed"said Aidan taking her hand.

"But...you..."

"No,"he cut her off"I am not going out anymore. I would rather stay with you than go to the club with the boys. I am never going out again, not unless you are the one who wants to go. Otherwise no, I am not enjoying it without you with me. But you are not the type that goes clubbing and I really wouldn't want you to be. I fell in love with you exactly how you are"

She smiled at him.

"Thank you"

He only kissed her again.

...

Aidan's last thought before going to sleep was that he would make sure that his ex would not hurt his girlfriend ever again. Heoved her so much. She was the only one who saw him for him, not his looks or money. She meant the world to him. And he would make sure that the voice would stop because him leaving that was never going to happen. She was his everything.
