Ch 6
After having left Evelyn home with Christian, Rick headed for Elin's home to break the news to her. As he made his way there all he could do was contemplate ways of telling her that it was now over between them.
"Hey there babe!" said Elin putting her arms around Rick's neck getting ready to kiss him.
Rick evaded her kiss taking her arms off his neck.
"We need to talk"
"About? Oh wait let me guess you wanna talk about you finding a beautiful girl who has stolen your heart," said she with a smile, not knowing that was what actually awaited her.
"This is serious. Just let me get through this ok"
"Ok" said she getting worried at seeing a side of Rick that she had hardly seen, sure he was a soldier and usually was serious and reserved but this Rick that stood in front of her carried not only a seriousness that was detected by his tone but also worry.
"What I have to say…well it concerns our relationship…I have always been honest with you from the beginning, and I am planning to keep it the same way. Um…well you've always known what my feelings are like and I have never tried to show something that is not me. I really care for you and well…you see above all I consider you my friend because that is how this started. I am sorry if I may hurt you with what I have to say, but as your friend I feel it is best if I just…um tell you" he stopped for a moment trying to gain the right words to continue, but he knew that no matter what words he used she would still be hurt by what he had to say though he felt that he couldn't stop what followed.
"I…just want to say that it's over between us."
"What? But why?" asked teary eyed, but then her features changed as she began to realize his motives for doing what he did. "Its that girl, isn't it? You're back with her aren't you? That has to be it! Things were going so well. You even said so. There can't be any other explanation to it. That is why you gave me this whole speech about me knowing your feelings and you hurting me. She's in your life again and since you don't need me there anymore you're just throwing me away!"
"It's not like that"
"Oh, really! Then why are you still wearing the same clothes you had on yesterday? Do you think I am stupid? Do you think I am that naïve not to notice something like that? If you really wanted to be truthful with me you would have skipped this whole speech about you and your feelings, and you would have just told me that you are leaving me for someone else. FOR HER!"
"I don't think that of you and it's not like that"
"Like what? You are going to tell me that there isn't anyone else. Come on, Rick like you said I know you. I know your kind."
"Now what is that supposed to mean?"
"Exactly like it sounds like. You know exactly what kind I am talking about because it is to what you belong to. Oh, you still don't get it. Let me explain it to your tiny little legionnaire mind. Poor baby, your kind sweetie, is the one who uses girls and then just leaves them for the next one. Is that simple enough for you to understand?"
"What do you think you are accomplishing by acting like this? By making me sound like this cold hearted stupid monster. From the beginning I told you this wouldn't work, but you said to me not to worry because you understood. You said that all you wanted was to help me and…and that you yourself knew that this wasn't going to work. That we were just going to try to see what happened with this. I never wanted for this to happen and you very well know it. I would never try to hurt you"
"Ok, so you didn't want to hurt me. Fine. Great. But tell me something as friends is it her? Are you back with that girl, the one who broke your heart? That is all I want to know and I think that if we truly are friends you would tell me this."
"This isn't fair"
"Just tell me"
"Yes, I'm sorry no actually I am not because I love her."
"Get out of my house. I don't ever want to see you again. GET OUT!!!!!"
She pushed him out and slamming the door behind him.
"Great going O'Connell, you always did have your special way of making a good day into complete crap."
