“Wow. That girl’s going places, man, that was fantastic!”

Luke’s sigh is the only sound in the room when the broadcast we were watching fades to black. It’s true, though, the songs she wrote, what she just brought onto the stage, it was wow. No other word could ever describe it better. Vocals, technique, performance, emotion, she’s never done better. Never!

The first song of hers tore me apart but in a good way. I couldn’t stop my own tears from falling when I heard her sing for her dad. A song I’ve never heard before but was so heartbreakingly beautiful, it took my breath away. Jay was pure, she was real and vulnerable, barely able to sing at all at most parts, it was impossible not to feel with her. It was a moment I know people will talk about for a while.

What came after the song wasn’t as beautiful, though, even if it was equally painful. Her song sneaked past my guard, it had my defences down and my heart bleeding for her. When I saw her on stage, looking so hurt and broken in her grief, I wished nothing more than to be there myself. I wanted to kiss each and every one of her tears away, to wrap my arms around her and comfort her in her pain. But I wasn’t there. Mickey was.

Watching her turn to him was brutal. He was the one holding her, he even gave her a kiss on top of her head. If Luke hadn’t been with me, I probably would have turned the TV off at that point. I felt weak, helpless, and hopeless. I was devastated. Everything about tonight, every amazing song of hers that followed, every word she said, was just another stab into my heart.

She said she tried to commit suicide. Words that would have disturbed me for sure had I heard them at any other point of my life, but when I did two hours ago… Somehow, I feel like I’ve known all along. Maybe I even have, deep down, even if I never wanted to admit it to myself.

Or maybe her confession doesn’t worry because of Jay herself. Because I just know she’ll never get to that point again. She’s changed. Sometime last year, the frightened, insecure, depressed girl I brought back from Manchester has grown into a strong, unshakable, independent woman. But she didn’t only grow up, she’s grown away from me. She doesn’t need me any longer. Even more so, she’s turned into a woman who’s so far out of my league, I can’t believe I was still able to carry this tiny bit of hope inside of my heart that maybe, just maybe, time could heal our love after all.

Now I know, though. No time in the world could ever turn me into the man who deserves her. No time in the world could ever turn me into Mickey.

He’s always been perfect for her. He’s the one coming from a broken family as she does, he’s the one who understands her, he’s the one who’s always been in tune with her.
