delilah:
is there a thing i should know about?

clay:
a thing?

delilah:
okay, that didn't come out the way i wanted it to.

clay:
what the hell are you talking about, delilah?
(laughs)

clay climbs off of me and i sit up, he puts his hand on my thigh.

delilah:
okay, so you know how nick doesn't approve of us?

clay:
yeah, you have melted that into my brain.

delilah:
okay, well one reason was because you did a thing in the past. i think he said in a past relationship.

i watch clay's face drop, he knows what i am talking about.

clay:
oh... that is what he was talking about.

delilah:
clay, what did you do?

clay:
i don't know if i am ready to tell you, but i need too.

delilah:
i mean, i guess we can wait... it just seems like a big deal.

clay:
no, no, i need to tell you.
(takes a deep breath)

i interlock my hand in his, he looks like he having a hard time.

clay:
so, i have only dated one other girl than you. it was when i was 17, we dated for three years.

delilah: that is a long time... you guys broke up two years ago?

clay:
correct. we loved each other... for the first two years i loved her at least.

delilah:
what does that mean?

clay:
the last year of us dating, i guess i fell out of love. she still loved me a lot, and she wanted to get married to me. she told me all the time.

delilah:
well you must have ended it after you didn't feel love anymore, right?

clay:
(sighs)
it is my biggest regret... i stayed with her for a year. p-pretending i loved her... i led her on... for a whole year.

he starts tearing up, but what he just told me worries me. if he has done that before, what if he does it again?

delilah:
f-for a whole year?

clay:
yeah, a whole year. i just didn't have a purpose to leave her. she loved me, she thought i was a great guy. we just didn't have the same interests, i just didn't feel a spark. i never really did.
