"The flowers are looking good... and... my suit looks perfect!"
Today is my 1st ever anniversary since Ellie became my girlfriend, honestly I wonder how someone as perfect as her came to love me.
[After some time]
As I reach the front door of my house I see a cardboard box in front of it.
"?"
I don't remember ordering anything. I inspected the box and it said...evidence?
"Evidence?"
Am I involved with a crime? Weird.
I picked up the box and brought it inside. I put it on the table and open it to see...
"...What the hell?!"
Polaroids with Ellie and some random guy cheating on me!
"..."
I was angry. I was sad. I couldn't find the reason...
"Why?"
Why... Why would she cheat on me... I just couldn't understand!
I quickly dialed her number.
*beeeeeep* *beeeeeep*
"Please... Pick up!"
And she did.
Ellie: "Hey Will!" She made a kissing sound.
Tell me it's not true...
Ellie: "Did you want to hang out?" She giggled at the end.
Please tell me...
"Ellis."
Ellie: "?" She sounded confused.
Tell me it's all a lie.
Ellie: "What is it?"
"Did you cheat on me?"
She let out a gasp. I don't know if she is pretending or she is shocked that I know.
Ellie: "You know well that I would never cheat on you!"
I knew deep down that this was reality. I just wanted it to be all one big nightmare. I can't say this wasn't my first time either, I guess what they say is true. First love never lasts long, does it?
"Then what am I seeing right now?"
I sent her one of the pictures.
Ellie: "What..."
Is that all she can say? Either she's genuinely confused or she's really good at acting...
"I feel silly asking this question as I already know you did...but I just want you to tell me the truth-"
She cuts me off mid-sentence.
Ellie: "This is fake! I don't even know the guy in this picture! I'm telling you I didn't-"
*beep* *beep* *beep*
I hung up on her. Doesn't she know it hurts to apply salt on a wound?
"... She won't even tell the truth..."
Why did she cheat on me?
Was I not good enough?
"..."
I cried bitterly yet silently...to think she was the one who confessed to me first as well...
She tried to call me again but I just blocked her number.
"What am I going to do now?"
I closed my eyes and let sleep take over me.
I slept on the couch.
