Day 5: Heartache

Frank had never gotten his heart broken. Sure, he had crushed on a lot of girls in grade school, but he knew that he hadn't met the one so they weren't that important. He didn't know what it was like to have a broken heart.

That's why he was so scared of Hazel.

When he and Hazel would fight (which wasn't very often) he would do anything he could to make sure she could forgive him. Heck, he let her win every argument that they had ever had. He knew which battles to fight, and fighting against Hazel was the last thing he would ever want to do. Hazel had the key to his heart, and he was going to make it stay that way.

But this time when he let Hazel win their argument, she didn't let him off that easy.

"So that's it? You're just going to give up like you always do?" she glared at him so fiercely that Frank took a step back.

"What do you mean…?" Frank was hesitant. She was even angrier than before (if that was possible).

"You always do this! You give up so easily. Most guys actually fight with their girlfriends sometimes, to show that their relationship isn't a total piece of crap! But you… you just sit there and let me yell at you! Is that what you're saying, Frank? Is our relationship crap?"

Frank was in shock. He hadn't prepared himself for this.

"No! No, that's not what I'm saying at all-"

"Then what is it? Please tell me, Frank, because I'm tired of our fights being one-sided. I'm tired of fighting myself."

Frank tried to stop her as she grabbed her keys, but she pushed him away.

"I- I need some time to think," she said. She headed to the door. Before she left, she stopped, her hand on the doorknob.

"This would be a great time to stop me, tell me what you really want to say."

Frank stared at her. "But I thought you wanted to be alone."

Hazel threw her head back and sighed. He watched her hand grip the handle and throw the door open with a great amount of force.

"Well, if you can't even fight to keep me, maybe it's best that I stay alone." She slammed to door, leaving Frank by himself in their small apartment.

Hours passed and Hazel never came back. He stayed up waiting for her, wanting nothing more but to apologize. He wanted to call, but she had left her cell phone. Not having a clue where she was, he stayed up hoping she would come home. By four in the morning he gave in and decided to go to bed. She wasn't coming back. Not tonight.

"So," Frank said to himself, tears slipping from his eyes as he walked to his bedroom. "This is real heartache."
