A few hours later, Diana found herself in her bed, buried under her blankets, pillows and duvets. She had just awakened from a long sleep and her eyes felt as if she had just cried. She looked around her and found tissues lying all over her bed. She had just cried. She let out a big sigh and dropped her head back down on her pillow. She thought back to when the elevator doors opened. The shock. The surprise. The regret. The confusion. And the anger.

- Flashback –

"Diana."

"Dino?"

He walked towards her. And instead of stepping away from him, she found herself paralyzed. And as he walked towards her, she could only focus on the face she had missed so much. The one that she tried every day to forget about. The one that she thought she would never be able to see again.

His hair was still the short messy blond that it was. His eyes still looked at her as if she was the only thing he could see. But, his lips looked so sad. As if they haven't smiled in ages. And she realized then that she missed his smile and how it made her feel like everything would be okay.

Upon this realization, she grew angry at him. She had thought him dead all these years, she had tried to move on, and had given up on herself. Yet, he was living all this time. And didn't even think of telling her. Not even a call or text to say "Hey, I'm not dead yet."

"Diana. How… how have you been?"

This simple question made Diana snap.

"How have I been?! I don't know! What the hell do you think? I've been living the past 3 years of my life thinking the love of my life is lying dead in a grave somewhere. I spent these three years killing myself over the fact that I was the one who killed you. I was the one who killed my own boyfriend. And you've been here this whole time? You couldn't even…" Diana didn't realize that she had started crying.

"Wha—I didn't…"

"I don't want to hear your excuses." She punched at the elevator button, hoping that it would sense her urgency and the doors would open immediately. But, they kept her waiting. Her tears continued to flow down her cheeks and she stopped trying to wipe them away. Out of nowhere, hands wrapped around her from the back and a head came to rest on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry." He breathed into her ear. At first, her heart stopped. But, soon it started beating very quickly. Out of anger. She pushed him away and turned to the staircase, and ran up the flights of stairs as Dino trailed behind her. She ran into her apartment and slammed the door behind her, leaning against it to take a breather. On the other side, Diana heard him pleading for her to open the door.

"Diana, I don't know what's going on. Please just open the door. I really missed you all this time. And I wanted to come see you…"

"Stop your bullshitting. For whatever reason that you're here to see me now, it's not good enough for me to open this door for you." She slid down her door, and had her head in her hands. "Just go."

"Diana… just –"

"Go! I don't want to talk to you!" Lie.

"I'm sorry… "

"I never want to see you here again." Another lie.

"Diana…"

"I was over you a long time ago, and I don't need you in my life anymore." The biggest lie ever.

Then, there was silence.
