Spoiler Alert! These events take place after Season 9 episode 1. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE TAPING REPORT. Is not connected with my other story: The Breakup Perplexity.

Chapter 1- The Relationship Termination

5 years. They had been dating for 5 years. Sheldon Cooper, the physicist who thought relationships were unnecessary, held a relationship with Amy Farrah Fowler for 5 years. He loved Amy, he knows he does. Everything was going perfectly until that day. That infernal day when he….just thinking about that day disgusts him. He was perfectly happy getting more intimate with Amy. He was perfectly happy kissing Amy, cuddling with Amy, having a sleepover with Amy. Why did he let her go?

"Stupid Flash" Sheldon murmured.

It has been exactly 36 hours since he had been kissing Amy. It had been only 11 hours since their last fight. Sheldon was at Wolowitz's house that last time he saw Amy. He thought they could get back together. He was waiting at Wolowitz's house watching Leonard and Penny get married on a live stream in Vegas. To Sheldon, Amy had enough time to decide on their relationship. 24 hours after Amy left his apartment and 11 hours after the skype chat was plenty of time to decide. To Amy, it wasn't long enough. She was still trying to process all the happened within the past few hours. Is Sheldon ready to commit to her? He seemed really into the Flash tv show when they were kissing. A 5 year relationship for a distracted make out session. Sheldon pushed too far not giving Amy enough time, and then with the comment about her eggs expiring due to her getting older. Amy flat out told him it was over. It was time for Amy to stand up for herself. She deserves to be treated better, she deserves romance, and she deserves respect.

Upset and heartbroken he went back to his apartment with Raj. Once he was home, he spent the rest of the day complaining to Leonard, who didn't have quite the wedding he was expecting. Eventually, the two decided to call it a night. Not that either of them would be getting any sleep.

Sheldon laid in bed with his thoughts racing. He hated change, he just could not deal with it. He was ready to commit to Amy. He had the ring and a plan to propose over skype. He was not expecting Amy to fully break up with him. Still he does not quite understand why he wrong, he just knows that he is wrong. What happens now? She won't answer her phone, all this disconnect from Amy is unbearable. Sheldon knows the only person who could comfort him is Amy. Amy could tell him it would be better, Amy could tell him that change is a good thing, Amy could do anything. But the one thing he didn't have was Amy.

It is midnight, Sheldon is usually getting a healthy dose of REM sleep by now. Except for tonight. He laid in the same curled up position he was in since he got to bed. He was alone, he would cry when he thought of the time him and Amy were at the zoo. He would cry when he remembered the pillow fort they built. He would cry when her words would ring in his head "It's over Sheldon".
"What could Amy be doing now?" He thought. It's not like he could pick up the phone and call. There are a thousand things she could be doing. Was she thinking of him? Was she missing him? Is she over him? That last one hurt. Sheldon hated the thought that Amy is completely done with him. That she could wake up tomorrow and look for someone new and someone with better social skills.

"Women hurt. They hurt like papercuts, only deeper." Sheldon kept repeating his own words in his mind. He never thought a breakup could hurt, but boy was he wrong.

"I won't call, I won't call" Sheldon chants to himself as he picks up the phone. He goes to check Amy's Facebook status. His vision is blurry as his phone background pops up, beautiful Amy Farrah Fowler. He manages to open facebook, he reads "Amy Farrah Fowler is single". He slams his phone to the floor in an upset rage. He holds onto his pillow and begins to sob. It's really over. All those memories over.

"But I love you too." Sheldon whispers through his tears.

Sheldon hears a knock at his bedroom door.
"Hey buddy" Leonard says peeking through the door. "I heard a crash and then a cry, I was just checking on you". Leonard knows this is Sheldon's first breakup. He has a little idea of what to expect.

Sheldon looks up at Leonard with a sniffle. Leonard picks Sheldon's phone off the floor and sees the same status Sheldon read moments ago.
"Aw Sheldon, I'm sorry. I know this must hurt. Do you want me to make you some tea?" Leonard tried to be condescending but he is also surprised to see Sheldon this emotionally distraught.

Wiping his eyes on his pajamas, he nods his head. He slowly gets out of bed to follow Leonard to the kitchen.

The two are silent in the kitchen waiting for the tea to be made. Leonard grabs the yellow teacup from the cabinet. Sheldon beings to cry again.

"Amy would drink from the yellow cup" Sheldon says with his voice wavering.

"Oh" Leonard says grabbing another cup from the shelf.

"And I would drink from the blue one" Sheldon breaks down. He remembers the good intellectual conversations they would have. How Amy would sip her tea after a snazzy remark. That smile on her face after she finished her tea.

"Okay buddy, maybe you should pick the teacup then" Leonard says half giving up.

Sheldon finds a cup that wouldn't completely remind him of Amy then takes the tea to his room.

"Where are you going?" Leonard asks. Knowing that Sheldon hates eating or drinking where he sleeps.

"What does it matter Leonard?" Sheldon paces towards his room and slams the door. Leaving Leonard in the kitchen alone. He wanders back into his room, leaving Sheldon alone for the rest of the night.
