DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING.

Penny stared into Leonard, near to collapsing. She started to open her mouth to speak when a third hand pulled the door open. A wicked grin spread across the face of the woman standing opposite Penny, she covered her mouth with one hand and her stomach with the other. She knew Leonard had noticed the smile on Alex's part, and immediately became uncomfortable. Without speaking, she ran back across the hall and slammed the door behind her, now letting out the uncontrollable sobs that wreaked havoc upon her body.

Leonard kissed Alex on the head reassuringly, and without speaking ran across the hall. Not bothering to knock he opened the door to Apartment 4B. Penny sat on her bed, on Leonard's side, stroking the indented position he had once slept in. She looked up and bore into his soul, tears were running freely, but her words were not shaky, they cut into Leonard's very soul.

'How could you, Leonard?' She croaked, venom coating her words.

'I don't know how you recall yesterday.' He said, without compassion in his voice. 'But you broke my heart, again.' Leonard tried to stay calm, but seeing the girl he loved in a state like this made his heart ache.

'The girl he loved' He thought to himself. He'd never be over her, no matter how hard he tried, whether he married another woman, the name he'd long to say would be hers.

'Does that give you the right to sleep with the woman I detest most? Just because I dumped you last night doesn't give you the right to be frolicking around looking for someone else, you should have been at home, being upset or something. You shouldn't be happy right now.' She had said the last part without meaning to.

'Wait, what?!' Leonard's voice immediately became louder. 'I don't deserve to be happy?! You got what you wanted Penny! To get rid of me! I wasn't what you needed, I get that, but I'm not going to sit around like last time, moping and whining about how my life was terrible, I'm going to move on, and I don't care what you think, I'm in a vulnerable place right now, and Alex makes me happy!' Now it was his words that were coated in the venom.

'Of all the people you could have slept with, you chose her. You deserve better than that, Leonard. I know you know it.' She was visibly scared of Leonard like this, but she tried not to show it.

'Better than her?' He said, barely above a whisper. 'And you're better than her, Penny?' He asked, malice taking over.

She nodded her head in reply, confident in what she had just said, not realising Leonard was about to tear it to pieces.

'I cannot even begin to believe what you just said, Penny. Alex made me realise something, you never wanted me to be happy, you didn't push me to do what made me happy, didn't care that I was making ground-breaking progress in science. This is hard for me, because I don't have a great amount of confidence, and I can attribute that to you, always putting me down, but Alex made me realise that I am one of the smartest people in Experimental Physics as of right now. She made me realise that I shouldn't be with someone that puts me down, hides me away from her friends, and doesn't tell them what I do for a living in fear of being judged by them. Alex saw that while I was making you happy, you fooled me into thinking I was happy, I was too naïve to see it, but she was right. I don't want to hurt you Penny, because I'm still in love with you, I always will be.' He chuckled to himself quietly. 'But the fact that you think you're better than her astounds me, she actually wants to go to lectures with me, and not so she can rest up for a few hours! She wants to talk about me, she told me how she wants to show me off to everyone she knows, she wants to tell her parents that she was the luckiest girl in the world. Just a single night with her made me happier than I've ever been with you. I didn't, In fact I still don't want to believe that, but it's true. Have fun dating jerks again Penny, because they're the ones you love, not a geeky nerd like me.'

He turned away from her and slammed the door behind him, driving a stake into her heart even further.

'Leonard.' She cried out, but her voice came out in little more than a frail croak.

He was gone.
