“Shane I can’t…. I can’t,”

“Why?”

“We both know that I shouldn’t be here, that this is wrong in so many levels, and baby, its killing me and it’s killing you. I’ve got somewhere else to be, my own promise I have to keep. Someone else who loves me, and trusts me… I’ve made up my mind and I can’t turn back now. She’s been good to me…and, she… she deserves better than this.”

“But, you said-”

“I know what I said, but, SHANE! I don’t know what to do…”

“Choose! Choose us!” She yells crying

“I DID! I did Shane… I chose you 5 years ago. I chose you… YOU SHANE! Not Nikky, YOU. But you didn’t choose me. And now, now is too long, too late… and I’m sorry, sorry because I told you we were gonna be happy together, and I’m sorry that I believed my own words. And maybe I will never be truly happy without you, but right now, I’m truly loved. And that, that Shane makes me happy. Nikky is a good person and she deserves better. I’m not gonna do that to her, because I know damn well what it feels like… I love you Shane. I’ll always will. And although it took you a long time to figure it out, we WERE made for each other. We WERE that perfect love they always talk about in the movies. I’ll never forget that love I had with you, but that is all that it’ll ever be. A memory. A memory that’ll burn our skins forever. So, so… I choose her”

She starts crying again but she doesn’t look at me, I wipe off my tears and look to the floor, the sound of her crying making me sick, tearing my insides to pieces… I turn around and walk away.

It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do. To look you in the eye, and tell you I don’t want you, that I don’t need you.

It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to lie. To show no emotion when you start to cry and call my name.

It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do. To turn around, and walk away.

THE END
