He stood there in front of her. Wanting to hold like he has so many times before, but he knew he couldn't. Not at this point in their lives, he knew that it wouldn't be anything but inappropriate. Yearning for her touch he walked away to get something refreshing to drink, making her shift uneasily.
She knew they needed to have this talk, even though she couldn't bring herself to speak. She was slowly preparing herself for what was about to happen. After the 'family' comment in the locker room it changed her life, made her mad, made her cry herself to sleep that night. In all honestly though, she secretly hoped it changed him too. She watched him guzzle down the ice cold beer admiring the way he slowly brought it away from his lips. 'Stop it Calleigh that's not what we are her for'
He was the first to speak. ''So… here we are."
``Yeah, I guess" sighing in frustration, the words came out of her mouth before she had time to process her thoughts. "Is this really how we are going to be with each other now?" Both of them felt the mood change from thin to heavy.
"Excuse me; you're the one who wanted to talk tonight, so why don't you start talking!" He said kind of loud, soon regretting the tone in his voice.
"So you don't want to talk about it, you could care less?"
"You know damn well that I want to talk about this Calleigh. Don't try to make me feel like it's my fault that we aren't together."
"It's not all my fault Eric and you know that! You were the one that lied to me; you were the one to say that we should take some time apart. You…" Her eyes already filling with tears "That killed me, it really did." She said that last line so quietly; he swore he had imagined it.
"Your acting like you were the only one to get hurt Cal! I regret hurting you and I regret telling you to go, I thought that was what you wanted… it was certainly not what I wanted. I haven't cleared your closet space, I haven't filled your drawer, I haven't even touched your stuff since you left." His voice getting louder and louder. "And what's even more pathetic I can't even sleep in my bed because I miss your body against mine and you know that, YOU know! Yet you still are toying with my god damned emotions. Saying I Love you like family you honestly think we can ever just be family again."
He said, he threw he comment in her face, and it stung. All she could do was watch him getting angrier by the second. Tears spilling over her eyes now. It hurt her even more to know that he doesn't care. Oh how she wished he could just wipe her tears away like he used to, but no she had to stand her ground. She knew this had to come out.
It killed him to see her like this, but this had to happen. He wanted to fall back into those arms stare into her eyes, but they couldn't just go back to the way things were, at least not right away.
She finally spoke "Do you honestly think I'd just come back to you, just like that?"
"Well we both know from past experience you'd do part of that sentence." Oh No, he didn't mean that, it was such a low blow.
With that, in a blink of an eye she was out the door in her car pulling away, but not before saying
"Go to hell" He heard he sniffles and then they just sopped she was out of his house.
He aimed his fist at the wall. What had he just done? How did he just hurt the women that he loved? He was left with nothing, and no one with the lone sound of the wall clock ticking everything went still.
