"Let's break up."

It was those three words that send my glass falling onto the hard surface of the floor. The sound of glass broke through out the kitchen, but the only thing I kept hearing was: "Let's break up." Did I do something wrong? Have I made you upset? Please let me know—don't leave me like this. We have the perfect life together. We have a nice apartment, amazing jobs, our friends even like one another—so why? Why do you want to leave me so?

Is it that you want to see other people?

I'll be glad to have an open relationship, as long as you're in my bed at the end of the night.

Did you cheat on me?

That's okay, we can over come this together.

Did you get in trouble with the shark loans?

I'm sure we can find someway to pay them back.

I don't understand...and as I bend down to shakily pick up the glass you state: "I am engaged."

I don't flinch when I felt a glass shard cut open my finger, I could hear you quiet voice calling me a fool before taking me to the sink to wash it. I feel so numb and yet I can't cry or scream at you. I just watch as you gently take my finger and start to wrap it with a cloth. "Who is it?" I ask.

Is that my voice?

I don't trust myself with speaking to you and yet—

"Inukashi..." You state, releasing my hand; I watch as you scratch your head awkwardly. "We've been seeing each other for about 3 years."

I don't even feel myself move, as I shoved you hard into the counter; I grabbed your shirt. "I'm not upset that you've decided to leave me but 3 years?! Behind my back, no less?!"

You grab my shoulders and push me off. "It wasn't as if I meant to, Shion." you say, ruffling your hair. It always looked cute when you woke up in the mornings, did you know that? "It just happened..."

You trail off with your words and give me a expected look—as if I am to understand. "Did you even love me?" I whisper—I could feels the hot tears rolling down my face now and you give me a pointed look.

What was that look for?

Did you even love me at all?

I watched as you sigh heavily.

"Shion, I will always love you." you state and your face stern.

"Then why?" I ask. "Why leave me?"

Please tell me. Please give my heart some kind of closure. Please tell me that everything will be alright—that you're joking. I can't take it...

I watch as you ruffle your hair in frustration again. "I'm telling you it just happened!" your voice is getting louder now. "Did you think I intended for me, who has pretty much dedicated my life to you, to fall in love with someone else?!" You turn around and punch the wall behind you and I could feel my heart ache.

Is it true then?

I don't know.

Did it really just happened?

Probably not.

I'm so confused, I don't know what to do.

"Congraulations." I find myself saying and your face—you look so torn. I'm sure I'm not the prettiest thing to look at right now—with snot running down my nose and tears soaking my face.

"Shion..." You reach out a hand to grab me, but I step back.

I can't.

I turn around with a final resolve and walk to the door. "I'm glad you've found happiness." I say, looking over towards the kitchen—your face—you look so torn.

I can't.

"Shion..." you try again and I can see you walking around the counter to me—I shake my head. I watched as you stopped your footsteps at the entrance of the kitchen.

"You've broken my heart...don't make me miss you too." I finally say before stepping out of the apartment—the door closing quietly and I lean against it; the tears coming out heavily now—but just for today allow me to miss you.

Thanks for reading!
