I pushed open the wooden door, taking in the scent of freshly baked bread. The warm atmosphere of the bakery made my body relax and I walked over to the counter, getting ready to meet my boyfriend after his shift.
"Hey babe," I kissed him on the lips and I felt him frown, causing me to lean back and study his face. He seemed miserable and as he walked out from the counter to greet me, he barely looked at me.
"What's wrong?" I asked, hurt.
"Can we go somewhere private?" He whispered.
He looked like he was about to cry as I nodded and led us swiftly out to my car. We got in and he looked down at his hands.
"Alex?" I asked, confused.
"I think...It's time we started seeing other people. I mean. Chelsea Grin is becoming bigger. We got a call from a record label and uh, well. It's going to be hard for us to...you know. When I leave for tour and stuff," he whispered, near tears.
"But...Alex" I pleaded, angry, "It's great that you got called and all, but...why the fuck are you giving up on us? Did these past two year mean nothing to you?" Angry tears sprouted from my eyes and rolled off my face as my heart shattered into a million pieces.
"I can't deal with this, Val. I'm sorry. I wish things were different."
And with those words thrown into the air, he left me in my car, tears making wet tracks down my face as I watched his figure walk away from me into the snowy winter. The cold season which I was partially named after. The season I would begin to hate.
