Chapter 7

"What?" She asked softly as she tried to shake the image of Matt's tormented face out of her mind. He looked so sad, but it couldn't possibly compare to how she felt. Nothing could.

"Please don't do this." He said holding the ring in his hand. "I know you're mad, and you don't want me around, but please...don't do this." He said as he tried to slip the ring back on her hand but she wouldn't allow it. "Amy, this isn't mine."

"And it's not mine."

Matt looked down at his feet, he couldn't shake the guilt he felt. He never would be able to get rid of that awful feeling.

"C'mon Amy it's me, Matt. It's your ring. Amy baby please, I gave this to you as a sign of-"

"No. Nuh-uh. When you gave this to me, I was on top of the world Matthew. I had this amazing career, incredible friends and this unbelievable boyfriend. He was the one who sat in that tub with me that one night, his arms wrapped around my body, as he blew the bubbles away from my body trying to sneak a peak." She said with a small smile at the memory before blowing out a nervous breath. "He was this perfect man, the one I got to call my boyfriend, no one else's. He took out this black velvet box from the drawer and looked at me. 'This is a promise ring,' he said, 'I want you to have it. Because it means that...I promise to love you for as long as I live, and that I will protect you and your heart was safe with me.'" She said looking at him squinting as tears continued to fall as she jutted out her jaw feeling foolish. "That was Matt. My Matt. The one I knew and the one I fell in love with. Not this." She said looking up and down at him. "This, I don't know who it is. It's just another guy who screwed up what he had going for him. He's nothing but a sad sorry excuse of a man who jumps on the nearest girl when he sees an opening." She said shaking her head as if doing so would make everything right again. Like it would make the stabbing pains in her chest go away and the tears to stop falling.

"I'm sorry. I still mean all those things...It's just that-"

"No Matt." She said putting her finger up to his lips silencing him. "If you meant those things, like really meant those things, you never would've cheated on me the way that you did. I never would've caught you with that half naked girl in our hotel room, your hands all over her body, your lips on hers, trailing down her neck. If I had done that to another guy, would you believe me when I got caught red-handed that I still meant all those things you told me? Would you forgive me just like that?" She asked as she sniffled and wiped away tears with the back of her hand. Matt didn't know what to say. The thought of his Amy, with another guy, made him visibly sick. He looked at her, and fully realized how she felt. Matt didn't think he could forgive her if she had done it. Oh God... Matt thought as he grabbed his chest and bit his lip. "Exactly. You wouldn't. So now use that brain of yours and guess what I'm not going to do. Forgiveness and you're actions come with a heavy price, and these are things you just can't afford." She said softly before getting out of Matt's grasp and she once again disappeared in the midst of the crowd, leaving Matt to stand their and fully realize what exactly his actions caused him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Sniffle* ahhh!
