"I love you."

"You what?"

"I love you."

"You...can't."

The end of our relationship was quick. It came as a shock to nobody that she couldn't be with me any longer. Everybody told me she'd bail first, that I'd be left alone to deal with the pain that came with the end. I didn't foresee it coming the day of our four-month anniversary. Aubrey said she was just like Katie. I didn't agree. Katie never cared whether or not her issues affected me or not, which resulted in my emotionally and mentally abusive relationship with her. She cheated on me constantly. I could often smell the musk of another person on her when she came home. She never tried to hide the fact that she was bad news. Callous and disjoint. That was my relationship with Katie. Beca was nothing like her.
