Just Be Friends
Based off of Luka's popular song! She knows the hardest choice would have to be the best for her…
I ran into the bathroom and locked the door behind me. Rushing into a small corner by the shower, I curled up and cried. He knocked on the door.
"Luka? Please, I'm sorry. Please come out."
We had another argument. Ever since our marriage 5 years ago, we've had many arguments. We try to settle them, but they always lurk in our minds every day after each and every one. This argument was my breaking point. I promised him I just loved him and only him, not my old boyfriend, Gakupo. How did he ever find out about how close Gakupo and I got that one night after homecoming? They hated each other, they would never talk. But thinking about Gakupo's personality brought the question to mind: Did Gakupo tell him?
"Luka, I know I did a lot of yelling, and I'm sorry about it! We can settle it with an ice cream cone like we always do, right?"
No. Not a simple ice cream cone could heal any of these.
"Luka! Open the damn door!"
He was getting angry again. I heard the door bust open, and prepared myself once more for another beating. If I didn't forgive him, he would hit me until I apologize. He never would apologize for doing this, though. He believed I deserved to feel the pain of being a terrible wife.
"Anh!" I screamed as he hit the top of my head with his fist.
This time, I let the pain sink deeper and deeper.
"Someone…please…help..." I thought.
He grabbed me by my hair until my red face was towards him, and he slapped me straight across my face. I was thrown across the floor and stomped on.
"Anh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I'm sorry!" I yelped.
"You better be." He said through gritted teeth.
He stormed out of the bathroom, leaving me spread on the floor, unable to move. After about an hour, I felt the ability to move, but didn't have the need to. I rolled onto my back, staring at the peeled ceiling.
"When will this end?" I thought over and over.
I didn't want to leave him, but I knew how unhealthy it was for me to stay with him. I envied his sweetness and looks, and how loved he made me feel. But I knew after this, there was only one choice left. Just be friends.
