Needing You Pt 3

Your Pov:

I stayed in the bathroom for half an hour. Luckily for me, Miles stopped searching around and left me alone. I sighed and cleaned myself up before going back to my desk. I did more work, trying to block everything else out. I felt empty and alone.

It went on like this for months and Miles just stopped trying. I moved into a new apartment and he moved on to a new partner. She was beautiful, intelligent, and everything I wished I could, but chose not to be.

Stone cold, stone cold...You see me standing, but I'm dying on the floor. Stone cold, stone cold...Maybe if I don't cry, I won't feel anymore...

Seeing them together was absolute torture. Miles and I still interacted with each other for work purposes, but he never spoke to me outside of that. I stopped shedding wasted tears, in hopes that I would just stop caring.

It didn't work.

Stone cold, baby! God knows I tried to feel, happy for you! Know that I am, even if I can't understand! I'll take the pain! Give me the truth! Me and my heart, we'll make it through! If happy is her, I'm happy for you.

But I pushed it all down, willing it to leave me alone. I truly wanted to be happy for him, but every smile, every laugh, made my heart break further.

It killed me inside.

It ate me up daily.

Stone cold, stone cold...You're dancing with her, while I'm staring at my phone. Stone cold, stone cold...I was your amber, but now she's your shade of gold!

The next time I saw them together was at a work party. They swayed on the dance floor effortlessly while I played Flappy Bird in the corner. No one spared me a second glance or offered me a drink. So I spent the rest of the party crying my eyes out in the corner of a bathroom stall. The loud music drowned out my crying, so nobody came to check on me.

Stone cold, baby! God knows I tried to feel happy for you! Know that I am, even if I can't understand, I'll take the pain! Give me the truth, me and my heart, we'll make it through! If happy is her, I'm happy for you...

I wanted to quit hearing about them. Everyone at the precinct loved talking about how the two of them were perfect for each other and how they were even thinking about marriage.

I hated it.

And I hated her.

But I couldn't say it.

Because he was happy.

So, on their wedding day, as her maid of honor, I watched from the side of the altar, wishing it was me looking into his eyes and accepting his ring. A single tear ran down my cheek as they said their 'I do's'. Then came the reception and the speeches.

I went first, feeling my chest get heavier with every word.

Don't wanna be stone cold, stone...I wish I could mean this but here's my goodbye! Oh, I'm happy for you! Know that I am, even if I can't understand!

I tried to smile, but my eyes were sad.

"If happy is her, I'm happy for you..."
