I was going to make this a one shot but since there was a few people wanting more I'm going to try to turn this into a story so if you can help by leaving reviews I appreciate it so much.
Maya opened the door to her house, mentally thanking God her roommate was at work right now, she threw her purse on the couch, sat down and immeditely put her head in her hands. She wasn't prepared to see Roman at all and definitely wasn't prepared to have an argument with him. Roman used to be her best friend, her better half. They had so many amazing memories together but when he broke up with her, Maya decided to ignore all those memories, only focus on the bad, the fighting, the disagreements, the whole end of their relationship to try to cope. Seeing him brought it all back though. Not just the bad, when she saw him smiling she remembered all the times he smiled with her, all the laughs and the love and now here she was feeling broken again.
"Hey, you okay?" Maya heard a quiet voice say. She looked up seeing her roommate, Meg.
"Yeah I'm...no... I ran into Roman today." Maya said.
"What happened?"
"We got in a fight. I found out he is engaged, and it's to the one girl I wouldn't want him with at all, and he was saying that he should be in my life pretty much and I told him no."
"Well, can I ask you a question?"
"You kinda just did but go ahead."
"Do you really not want him in your life?"
"Honestly, it's not about want. Do I want him in my life? Of course. But I also dont't want him to be engaged, i want us to go back and not have broken up. Want has nothing to do with it, it's what I need and I need to not have him in my life. Having him around will only make it harder to get over him, which has already been hard you know?"
"Maybe having him around will help you move on."
"I don't get how that makes sense?" Maya replied looking at Meg like she had three heads.
"Closure. It's been 6 months and you're still not even a little bit moved on and maybe that's because you're holding out hope, or you're holding onto that hurt because you never got an answer."
"Having the guy I wanted to spend my life with around, as he's planning to spend his life to the girl I was worried about, won't help me move on."
"Why don't you just meet him and ask any questions you're wondering? I mean you two already know how touchy it will be and how easy it'll be for you to fight so maybe it's time to just get all that out, the anger, the hurt, the disappointment, all of it. Ask him questions, yell at him, tell him to fuck off and move on." Maya let out a short laugh before rubbing her forehead.
"I don't know."
"What's the worse that could happen? You fight and don't talk anymore? The worst has already happened. I know Roman really loved and cared for you and if you call him right now asking for closure, he'll do everything in his power to give it to you."
"I don't even have his number saved anymore."
"As if you don't have it memorized. I'm going to take a shower. Just think about it." Meg said walking by Maya squeezing her arm in the process.
Maya grabbed her purse and pulled her cell phone out of it contemplating what Meg said. Deep down she did want closure, but seeing Roman made her anxious. She was scared to make the call but knowing Meg she was going to bug her about this until she did it, at least that's the excuse she gave herself as she started typing in Roman's number.
Roman was shocked when Maya's face popped up on his phone screen, he never deleted her number. On the third ring he cleared his throat and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi Roman, it's Maya."
"Oh, Maya. What's up?"
"I just uh...have..umm" Maya let out a frustrated sigh. It shouldn't be this hard.
"You okay?"
"Yeah...it's just that...you never really gave me closure and I don't think that's fair."
"What can I do to give you closure, Maya?"
"I just have a lot of questions and things I left unsaid that I really want to say."
"Alright well you know I'll answer any of your questions, I have no problem with that."
"Okay well I think we should do it in person so if you're not busy right now can we just meet somewhere?"
"I can come to your place if you want?"
Maya thought about it for a minute. Truth be told she both wanted him here and not, but she found herself saying yes. She gave Roman her addrress, she was the one to move out of their shared place when they broke up. After she hung up the phone she found herself pacing back and forth.
"Chill." Meg said walking down the stairs.
"I called Roman. For closure like you said. He's on his way over."
"You're doing it here?"
"Yeah. Why is that bad? Should I call and move it? Where to?" Maya asked in one breathe picking up her phone.
"Maya chill!" Meg said grabbing Maya by the shoulders. It's fine. I was going to go out with some people from work but if you rather I stay here I can."
"No..that's fine. I might text you to come home though depending how this goes."
"Okay, I'll be checking my phone boo." Meg said hugging Maya and walking out the door.
About 20 minutes later Maya heard a car door shut and her anxiety shot up. She never thought it would ever be like this with Roman. She heard the doorbell and slowly stood up taking a deep breath and walking over to the door and letting Roman in.
"So... do you need anything to drink?" Maya asked feeling uncomfortable.
"No I'm fine." Roman replied taking off his sunglasses. Maya sat on the couch and Roman sat next to her. "So what are your questions?"
"I guess my first would be..why did you break up with me?"
"We couldn't hold a conversation anymore and it shouldn't be like that. I just thought that we were over for a while but kept trying to act like we weren't that it got to a point we couldn't deny the distance anymore and neither of us were happy so it needed to end."
"You weren't willing to fight for us."
"Yes I was Maya. I did."
"I don't get how you did."
"I still came home to you, I still tried to hold conversations with you, I tried to remain a big part of your life but we couldn't even talk about our lives anymore because I had no idea who the people you were talking about were."
"Because you showed no interest. When you were up and coming you always found time for me, then you got a huge push or whatever you call them and suddenly I didn't matter. Talking to me everyday wasn't a priority anymore. I stayed home working, always watching you on Raw and Smackdown and all your other wrestling shows even though I'm not a fan just because it was you, I constantly listened and was there for you and you stopped caring."
"I didn't stop caring. It just got complicated. It wasn't as simple to balance my job with our relationship anymore. You hated the distance, and believe me I did too but I was able to handle it and you weren't you just-"
"I was able to handle the distance just fine when you acted like you gave a damn." Maya interruppted.
"I always cared Maya! Things just started getting in the way, I was never home, we were on completely different time schedules."
"And Jessie showed up." Maya said, immeditely feeling her heart break.
"I swear to you, when I was with you, there was nothing between her and I."
"How can that be true when 6 months later you're engaged to her?"
"When we broke up, she was there for me, she helped me focus on other things, she just was able to make me happy when I wasn't."
"You know she wanted you the whole time you were with me right? You have no idea how it feels knowing of all people, you're engaged to her. It really feels you stabbed me in the chest."
"Im honest to God sorry. I never pictured that happening. We just became close because we were always on the road, you get close with those people fast, we had so much in common and I guess since our relationship was falling apart that did speed it up but I never had the intention of leaving you for her."
"But you did."
"No I didn't. I just couldn't do it anymore. We ended, and her and I just happened to end up together but it wasn't like I left you and went right to her."
"I...I just feel it's not right you're with her. I made all these sacrifices for you, for us just to have it all taken from me." Maya took a shaky breath. "I mean, I moved to Florida for you, quit my job, left my family and friends behind and started over by myself because you were never here. I did everything I could to make this work."
"I know, Maya. I know how much you gave up and it sucks that sometimes it just doesn't work out."
"Are you going to open up anytime soon?"
"What's that supposed to mean? I am."
"No you're not. I know you Roman. I know when you're holding back and that's what you're doing right now. Trying to give politically correct answers, it's like you're trying to avoid hurting my feelings and that's going to do nothing for me, it's not going to give me closure that you owe me so just freaking tell me!" Maya said raising her voice and standing up from the couch and looking down at Roman.
"Tell you what?!" Roman yelled.
"The truth!"
"The truth? Ha fine!" Roman replied standing up. "The truth is I was head over heels in love with you but you acted like only you gave shit up for us. You always act like I just got everything perfect and you're the one who sacrificed everything. Do you honestly think it didn't hurt me ending things with you?! It breaks my heart knowing you aren't in my life at all anymore. You act like I'm 100% over you and I'm not!"
"Then why are you with her?"
"You don't have a right to know about things between her and I."
"I bet you told her things between us while we were fighting or 'growing apart'" Maya rolled her eyes.
"Seriously? Why can't we talk like mature adults!? Why do you have to make it into a fight?!"
"Because you broke me Roman! You didn't just break my heart, you broke ME." Roman looked at Maya and could see in her eyes she was telling the truth and it hurt him. "So sorry I'm not going to sit here and bite my tongue but you owe me an explanation."
"There's not a simple explanation! If there was I'd give it to you. I'm so tired of fighting with you though. Maybe I should just go." Roman said walking to the door.
"No, I have one more question."
"What's that?" Roman said turning to look at Maya while his hand was on the door.
"Why'd you say you wish it was me?"
