Disappointment

Concern filled her, anxiety overtook her, and emotion drove her. Today was the day...the day she would break up with her boyfriend; he was...needy, insecure and mildly annoying, but such a sweetheart. She didn't want to break up with him; he was too dear of a friend to her. What might happen to their friendship? They worked in the same building for crying out loud. Speaking of crying, she had this sinking apprehension that he would become a blubbering baby when she revealed the 'news' to him.

Abby grunted in annoyance before knocking on the door in front of her.

"Abby? What a pleasant surprise; come in," she did, but kept her jaw locked so as not to lose her nerve. "What's going on?'

She sighed before turning around to face him. "We need to talk, Tim," she said in an unusually unhappy voice.

He stared at her, not liking the sound of this, but gulped and nodded his head curtly.

"We...I don't'..." Abby stumbled for the words she wanted for only a few seconds. "We can't date anymore, Tim."

"What? Are you...are you breaking up with me?" he asked eyes wide and unbelieving.

"That's exactly what I'm doing," she said, perhaps a bit too stonily.

He couldn't understand; he thought things had been going well between them. And then...this! All of a sudden, without any proceeding signs. "But...but why, Abby?"

"I just think we should see other people. You're just too...clingy and I need to be a free girl. I feel like I'm tied down," she attempted to explain. "It's not like we can't be friends; I mean you are a nice guy, Timmy and I like hanging around you and talking to you. I just don't want to see you romantically anymore, okay?"

His head had been bowed and he didn't want to look at her because he knew that when he did the tears would start and not stop for several hours.

She walked over to him, kissed his cheek softly and briefly before she left his apartment. It was the hardest thing she ever had to do. And the one thing she regrets the most...
