Tissues at the ready for a story by Villa*baby

“But… I love you! I loved you all along!” the man was saying to the woman sitting next to him, while trying to focus on car driving.

“Please, don’t say that! When it comes out of your mouth, those words sound so paintful and I know you aren’t honest! You know, I wonder were you ever honest with me!”, almost crying, woman answered while turning on the radio and trying not to listen to him anymore.

“You have to trust me! She didn’t mean nothing to me! It was just…”

“What? Go on! A one night stand? An unimportant affair? Just a way for you to have some fun while I wasn’t here?”

“No, don’t say it like that! Please, don’t say it like that!” A man was trying to calm her down, but aware that he had no excuses.

She was angry because she had to find out in newspapers that her boyfriend cheated on her. It was the worst possible way.

“And that… woman, I can’t even tell her name, you think she won’t made things much worse than they are? This is just a beginning! And that, Sergio, is something I don’t want to experience!” It was the first time she called him by name and in that very moment she understood why she didn’t do that before. A blade of pain was breaking her heart apart. Until that moment she thought everything will dissapear, like a bubble of soap, and they’ll be happy again! But, it was impossible. She knew they were that couple all over the front pages in papers. He cheated on her and everyone knew that but he was trying to make everything right.

He tryied to take her hand in his, to kiss her in hope everything will be like before. He wanted to believe that, but he knew that she won’t made that step. She pulled her hand away to wipe a tear that started slipping over her cheek. He tried to touch her face, to feel her skin once again.

“Please, listen to me”, he said, while trying to stay strong. “I don’t want to lose you. I don’t want to throw away everything we had!”

“But, you already did that! I loved you with every inch of my body, I was ready to give you everything. I loved you, Sergio, and I still do. But I can’t forgive you.”

“How many times do I have to say I’m sorry? What do I have to do to believe me?”

“Nothing! You did enough. More than enough. Please, stop the car! I can’t stand being next to you anymore. Stop!” She couldn’t stand his closeness, a sound of his voice… She fell in love with him first time they met. She used to be suspicious in the beginning, but he showed her that she’s the one and that he’ll love her forever. At least it seemed.

After insisting, he finally stopped the car. She went out and stood on the rain. It helped her hide the tears. He stayed in the car with his face burried in hands. She knew that it was hard for him also, but didn’t want to forgive him. He abused her trust, left her heart bleeding. How could he say he love her after he threw away everything they had and spent night in the arms of another woman. She knew she won’t be able to delete that image from her memory, but at least he won’t be there to remind her of that.

He went out from the car, but wasn’t strong enough to come closer. She looked at him and saw his teary eyes.

“Why are you crying? Tell me!”

“Because I don’t know how I will go on without you by my side! You mean a world to me! Your love is the most valiuable thing I’ve ever had.”

“You should think about that earlier. And please don’t call me. I don’t want to hear from you ever more. This is the end.”

She was wearing a neklace he bought her for their second anniversary. It had a little letter “S” on it. She took it off and gave him.

“Is this all that is left from us? But know this, I won’t stop fighting for your love. I don’t want this to be the end.” He told while standing on the rain and squeezing a neklace in his hands.

She sighed heavily, trying to find right words to say before she leave. But she couldn’t think of anything.

“Goodbye, Sergio!” She said, while tears were filling her eyes again. She made one step forward walking into a new life without him…
