Hi! I have been getting a lot of positive comments on this story so.. I'm giving you an early update:) Y'all are so swag
------------------------------------------------------
Lev's pov

"Yaku! I'll be heading home" I said as i waved

"Bye Lev, text me later and... good luck with your... breakup" Yaku said as he gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked away

"Thank you Yaku" i whispered to myself as felt the spot where Yaku had kissed me

I felt nervous... I don't want to break Kaede... Hopefully she'll handle this well..

Kaede's pov

I am fully aware of the fact that Lev is cheating on me... well.. i don't have any proof but Lev is way more obvious than he thinks. He leaves the apartment almost every day for no reason or he's telling me that he's meeting up with a friend, and he always blushes when he's on his phone. It really hurts... The fact that Lev is probably cheating on me... The fact that I recently stopped worrying about Lev cheating on me.. And then this happens, i still don't know if he really is cheating on me but i'm almost 100% sure

I love Lev, he's my everything and he's all that i'll ever need. Thinking back at those times when he joined me at the library, reading books together with me even though he clearly didn't understand what I liked so much about reading. I wonder what this person has that I don't. Why Lev decided not just to break up with me and start dating this person.

I was currently sitting on the couch, waiting for Lev to get home. I feel like confronting him about this, I want to feel like the victim, I wanna make him feel bad for me but... I still don't wanna ruin his happiness. I said that I loved Lev and if I truly love Lev... I have to let him go.

Lev opened the door and I waited for him to come and greet me

"Kaede?" Lev said as he entered the living room where I was sitting

"Hi..." I said as I gave him a tiny wave

Lev inhaled, I could tell that he was nervous about something.

"I have to talk to you... About something" Lev said quietly

I moved aside and signaled for Lev to come
sit beside me on the couch

"So.. Kaede, you know that we have a pretty strong relationship and-"he said as he settled down beside me

"Please get to the point," I interrupted him, clearly worried about what he was about to tell me

Lev inhaled before looking me in the eyes

"I- I don't love you anymore," he said as he exhaled

That's when my heart shattered. I was fully aware of the fact that Lev didn't love me anymore but hearing it from him... It just felt different.

I stayed quiet for a while before feeling a single tear running down my cheek

"I-i see, I understand," I said as I inhaled quietly, looking down at the grey fabric of the couch that was now stained with tears

Lev looked at me and smiled... But I could feel his guilt

"It doesn't really matter I guess... I have been acting like a little bitch ever since we started dating anyways... If I... If I would've stayed as the same person I was when we first met then... Then maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this.. I'm sorry Lev" I said as tears kept spilling from my eyes

Lev tried to make eye contact with me, but I didn't want him to see me like this... I didn't want him to see how badly all of this affected me

"This is none of your fault Kaede... I just fell out of love I guess... You'll find someone that loves you the same way as I did... I promise" Lev said as he took my hand in his and wiped away my tears with his thumb

"That's the thing Lev... I don't know if I'll ever be able to stop loving you" I said

He smiled at me... He didn't cry... He didn't seem mad.. He smiled... That sweet assuring smile that I fell in love with... The one that belonged to the person that I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with.

"Everything changes Kaede... You'll move on" Lev said

"It's so unfair... Why did you have to be the one to fall out of love... Why am I the heartbroken one? I might sound selfish... But I wish that I were the one to fall out of love..." I said through my sobs

"I'm so sorry Kaede, I didn't want it to turn out like this... I didn't know how I was supposed to tell you... Everything happened so fast... I hate seeing you like this"

"It's fine Lev... I'll survive" I smiled

That was the only thing that I was 100% sure of... That I would be able to live another day.. Another month.. Another year.. With or without Lev Haiba
