Lies: I'm not angry - I don't know if I want to remember
Truths: Because I'm jealous – I just want him back
Sometimes I know what to do, sometimes I don't.
Right now, all I know is what I did.
And what I did was terrible.
With a single lie, I broke two hearts.
One beating for him, the other for me, both for us.
There is no us.
Not anymore.
There's nothing.
Silence.
Chaos.
Pain.
The truth.
The truth is I lost him.
I lost what I found.
I lost what I needed.
I still need him; he doesn't need me.
Not anymore.
Sometimes I know what to do.
Sometimes I don't.
This time sometimes lasts an eternity.
Forever is gone.
Our epilogue lost.
Happy ever after...
Not anymore
"What are you doing?" Rhett's whisper interrupts my thoughts and I lift my head from my paper.
"Mmh?" I hum, not fully sure what his question was. His tired eyes meet mine and his entire posture slumps.
"What were you writing?" He leans in, his shoulder to mine but I quickly hide my heartfelt scribbles. I'm not the world's biggest poet but putting blame to paper has helped a little. Not much, but I don't deserve more than a little. Rhett's deep sigh almost makes the professor look our way. "Have you talked to him? It's been two weeks..."
I pull a brow at him, hiding behind my laptop screen in front of me. The screen's not on, it's black, along with a clear reflection of myself. I don't feel like myself, I don't look like it either. I don't sleep, hardly nap, the bags under my eyes are evidence of that. I train too much, eat too little. I'm miserable. "Have you?" I mutter at him, accusingly.
He looks away, clenching his jaw. "I have." He avoids eye contact, because he knows what comes next.
"So, he forgave you?" I bite and then his side profile turns apologetic. It's anger, bitterness, blame, that sits on my tongue. It tastes awful, I can't swallow it. It would make me choke if I tried.
