I Need You More

Prologue

'After everything, your just going to leave. Your going to leave me, again?' I said down the phone, my voice cracking with every word.

'You've given me no choice. Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't,' He retorted.

'Because... I still need you.'

I broke down into tears. The line fell silent.

'I know you do.' He said, giving me a glimmer of hope.

'But she needs me more.'

He hung up the phone, leaving me stunned, phone gripped in my hand so tight I felt that it might explode. I laid back and cried. I cried like I never had before, as if this same scenario hadn't happened before, as if we weren't living in a vicious cycle of love and hate. But was it really love if he made me feel that way?
