Notes: Thanks to Kashmir for beta reading this. Any mutilation of the Spanish language is purely my fault. This was written for some challenge a long time ago, but I don't remember which one.
You stand behind me. You're stare burns into my back but I don't turn around. I can't. You grow impatient and walk around me so that I am forced to finally look at you.
"Why?" You ask me. Your face is a mixture of anger and sorrow. Fresh tears slowly trickle down your face and you rub them away as you must have rubbed thousands of others.
"She deserved to know." I say. I didn't mean for my voice to catch. I didn't mean to sound so lost. "I couldn't keep lying to her."
"She told JT." You tell me and another tear falls. I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry I hurt anyone. "He broke up with me."
"I'm sorry."
"Why did you tell her?" You're yelling at me now. "We weren't doing anything wrong."
"We were cheating on them." I don't understand how her mind works sometimes.
"It was just sex, Sean. It didn't mean anything! I never meant for anyone to get hurt."
"Did you ever think that maybe it wasn't just sex for me?" I ask her. Her eyes widen like she'd never even given my feelings a thought. How could she not know? I wonder. How could she have been with me so many times and not know.
"That's all it can be." Her voice holds something I've never heard in it before. Determination. And I know it's over. She's leaving me. "No te amo. Los siento, Sean."
It takes me a moment to translate her Spanish, "I don't love you. I'm sorry."
