You can't just turn back time

Jaime's P.O.V.

I had been alone in Tony and I's new house these past three days. Why? Well with what happened to Mike, he hasn't left the hospital. He's there 24/7. Poor Mike didn't deserve what happened to him. Tony's devastated, Victor's heart broken, and everyone's just really worried about him. I hope he'll be okay. What even made him run out to a car like that? I hope he wasn't trying to kill himself...Mike's a happy guy, I'm sure he wouldn't do that on purpose...

I was currently getting ready to go out to the store, I was going to get a few things for Mike in case he woke up today. So when I was at the store, I got the usual get-better-pal! things. I got a card, wrote down something short and sweet, bought the biggest balloon I could find, along with some fresh flowers. Who doesn't like flowers, right? I know I love them! Ha, that actually reminds me of something Tony once did back when he took me on our first date...

"Tony, where are we going?!" I exclaimed, throwing my hands in the air.

"Shh, we're almost there....just a few more steps." Tony giggled from behind me. He had been guiding me through god-knows-where to the location of our first date. He had me wear a blindfold the entire drive here and he won't take it off until we're officially in the designated spot.

"But I want to see! Wait, what's that noise?" I questioned, listening carefully to what sounded like water flowing.

"You'll see." Tony whispered, finally stopping us. I heard Tony's footsteps go further away until they finally stopped and I heard music start to play. It was a Taylor Swift song, Enchanted, to be exact. I love that song. Then soon the blindfold was taken off of me, my eyes adjusting to the new choice in scenery. It was beautiful. I was in awe, not able to move, I could only stare in delight as my eyes wandered around what I would remember as 'our first date.' Everything was perfect. There were probably over a hundred different kind of flowers scattered and left out, covering every inch of the place. This beautiful place. The stars were above us, the cool night air was refreshing, the trees swooshed gently in the air, and Tony's hand was locked with mine. I soon realized that water flowing noise from earlier had been a huge, glorious, gorgeous fountain in the center. There lay small lit candles, a pick-nick basket, and a blanket right beneath everything.

"Tony...this is...it's perfect." I gasped, not taking my eyes off everything around me. It's just a first date, but he went all out. I thought he'd for sure be those guys that just take you out to dinner and a movie, but no. This is far much better than any dinner and a movie could ever be.

"Only the best for you." Tony grinned, stepping in front of me, letting go of my hand. "I really like you...I just want to show you how different I am."

"Well, you are. This is amazing...you're amazing." I giggled, feeling the blush rise to my cheeks. "I really like you too."

"Shall we eat?" Tony smirked, holding out a hand and half-bowing to me. I took his hand and nodded with a huge grin plastered onto my face.

"We shall."

Enchanted is our song now...yea, it's fluffy, I know, expected from a gay couple, whatever. I love it and I love him. After having got all the stuff I needed for Mike, I started driving off in my car to the hospital. It didn't take long. I walked up to the front desk and asked for where the room was. When I got the room number, I took all the things with me and started for his room. I hope he's awake! He's gonna love these flowers! And this balloon too! I hope he's just happy, man. Aaaannddd, I get to see Tony, so yay!

The door was opened, just a crack, so I walked in with no problem. Tony was sat in front of Mike, they were both visibly crying and in their own worlds. I smiled, loving the connection they had. It's sweet. Friends re-united! Then my smile soon dropped from my face as I felt my heart sink into my stomach in shreds, burning into my stomach like acid and shriveling up my lungs, leaving me breathless, with no room to speak or breath.

"Right about what?"

"You're the one I should be marrying." Tony spoke. I felt tears sting my eyes, my heartbeat going fast and irregular, my knees to weak to move. I dropped everything that was in my hands.

"Tony..."

"Jaime, I can explain!" Shot through my ears. Just hearing Tony's voice was enough for me to turn and run. And suddenly my knees weren't so weak anymore. They had every ounce of power built up again and ready to bolt out of that room. I ran, not wanting to face him. Why would he do this to me? I love him with my entire heart and soul! He can't just...after everything we've lived together, after all the things we'd done together, experienced, learned from each other! I was feeling rubbed raw and broken.

"Jaime, let me explain, please!" Tony yelled, turning me around. I could hear the dryness in his voice. I had already been sobbing, not being able to control myself.

"What is there to explain?! You...you just told him you should be marrying him!" I cried, my heart shattering more when I said it.

"I cheated on you with him...Twice...maybe three times...I'm not sure, but you have to trust me when I say I love you. I love you a whole lot, Jaime, but...I...I love him too...I have since we were only kids in middle school and I never told you because it was never important. Not until he showed up again and then he just...we started talking again, everything came back and I couldn't stop myself from doing anything with him...I'm sorry, I really am. I never meant for any of this to happen, but it did and now...I need to be with him, Jaime...I love him so much it hurts. And as cheesy as it sounds, I just want you to know that you'll always have a special place in my heart." Tony had explained everything...every single thing and it...it was like a dagger straight through my chest.

He cheated...He loves Mike more than me...he's staying with him, we're not getting married, we're not gonna raise our children we'd planned to have, we're not gonna live in our new house together. We're not doing anything...he's leaving. He's fucking leaving....

I looked down to our hands, realizing they were held together. I didn't bother to pull away. I love him, why would I? I just....I want nothing more but for him to be happy, that's all I've ever wanted for him. I want him happy and healthy and worry-free, I want him to be free! He can't do that if he's not gonna be happy with me...he need's to be happy, no matter how much it kills me.

"I had taken Tony's face in my hands and kissed him right on the lips. Tony gave into the kiss as he I held his hand tighter, knowing I'd have to let go for good now.

"I love you..." I whispered. I took my ring off painfully, chest aching, placing it in Tony's hand. "Just...fuck...p-promise me you'll...promise that you'll be happy. And you'll take your medicine, and stay healthy, an-and don't completely walk out o-of my life...you're still my best friend." I spoke through the tears.

""I pro-promise. I love you too..." Tony's lip quivered. I took in the look of his dark, chocolate brown eyes one last time, so profound, I needed it to last. I turned around, walking away with what was the worst feeling I'd ever felt in my entire life.
