The door shut before him as he stared in shock and fear. His life flashed before his eyes, one second he was ready to pop the big question the next she breaks up with him with no warning. What did he do? Why did she break it off? How did this happen? Why did this happen to him?
He didn't know any of the answers. It happened way too fast to register what happened. But he does know the girl he spent 6 years with left him. No explanation. Nothing.
She said "I'm so sorry I just can't do this anymore. I'm so so so sorry." And shut the door.
And that's where he is now. Standing at his door doing absolutely nothing. He blinked back the tears forming in eyes.
After a few more minutes, he walked back to his couch and looked at the box. That box held his future and was telling him to open it up.
That was a problem. He couldn't open it. The girl he loved wasn't here so that box was useless. Just like him.
Useless.
His whole life became useless. If he couldn't marry his love. Then why have a future? At 26 he thinks that it a bit later to start fresh. Getting married at 30 was not on his agenda.
He sighed.
There was a knock.
There was a spark of hope that it was her. She had come back to explain why she left.
But it wasn't her. But his brother.
He frowned but let him in nonetheless.
"Dude what happened? I just saw Laura walk out of the building upset. What did you do?"
Was the first thing he said when he walked inside with a confused expression written on his face
"I didn't anything Riker. I was about pop the question then she said she couldn't do it." Ross choked out what happened just minutes ago.
Riker looked at his younger brother with sympathy. He never p
experience what Ross had with Laura as he did with his wife Maia. But he does know what its like to be rejected. Maia reject him a few times before they started dating. But that ended well.
"What am I gonna do Riker? Why did this happen to me? Why? Why!? WHY!?" Ross cried with tears streaming down his already watery eyes.
Riker had no clue what to do. Other than feel sorry for him. So he stayed silent.
After a few minutes of silence, Riker got a call. The sudden noise scared both men.
The older of the two looked down to the younger asking for permission to answer it. He nodded. And Riker left the room.
A couple of minutes later Riker reappeared saying "That was Rocky he said Ryland did some stupid and got his foot stuck in the porch swing. So I gotta go help them."
Ross stiffed a laugh upon hearing his little brother doing something stupid. It was in Ryland's nature to do something and then getting into some trouble in the most idiotic way possible.
Ross regain himself let Riker go. Riker questioned him but Ross let him go. But before he left he said
"Just so you know Laura went to the park a few blocks down. When you're ready, go find her. But go easy. You don't wanna lose her forever." He smiled.
The door shut again.
He was alone again. But he thought about what Riker had said.
Was he ready? Was she ready? It was a lot for him to think about.
He sighed again. He knew what he was going to do.
