It's been about a week of Toni taking me to work and picking me up, and no sign of Gilbert. I was actually starting to forget about that fucking bastard. That is, until a certain day Toni had the day off and took me out to lunch again.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Toni and I walked down the sidewalk towards that same little cafe we always went to. Everything was great that day. But that day took a turn for the worst when I spotted Gilbert standing by the cafe doors. I stopped dead in my tracks, eyes wide, and squeezing Toni's hand as hard as I could.

"Lovi, Are you Okay?" Toni replied, turning to look at me. I couldn't say anything, so I just pointed towards Gilbert with a trembling finger. Toni followed my finger towards Gilbert, and once he laid his eyes on him, he tensed. I saw the anger in his eyes as he let go of my hand and headed towards Gilbert. I couldn't move, all I could do was stand there and watch Toni stomp his way towards my stalker and start yelling. The only reason I could tell he was yelling was by the look of complete anger on Toni's face. I couldn't hear what they were saying, all I could hear was a very high pitched ringing and the beating of my heart. I still hadn't moved, I couldn't. All I could do was watch as my world crumbled down around me. Gilbert was definitely going to tell Toni now. The ringing stopped once I heard Gilbert yell and point at me saying,

"Oh, Yeah? Well, did you know that your precious little boyfriend over there used to be a hooker?! Yeah! And a very Good one, too!"

My heart stopped. Shit.

Toni's eyes widened as he turned to me, looking mortified.

"Lovino, is this true?" He asked. I couldn't reply. I still hadn't moved. I could hear now, but I couldn't talk. I felt tears slide down my cheeks as I turned the other way and ran.

"Lovi, wait!" I heard Toni call to me, but I didn't stop. I didn't turn around. My life is over, and my relationship is over.

I ran with no destination in mind, I just ran. I ran until I felt like throwing up my lungs. And when I did feel that, I stopped at an alleyway far from the office, and far from Toni. Far from everyone. I stumbled towards the brick wall and slid down to the ground, panting heavily. When I sat, I hugged my knees, buried my face into them, and sobbed. I sobbed more then ever. I wanted to die.

"Toni's going to leave me." I thought to myself as I cried. "Why couldn't I just tell him myself?!" I stood up, still crying, and started to walk towards Feliciano's house.

Once I arrive at Feliciano's house, I am greeted with a worried Feli who hurries me inside. He sits me down on his couch and throws his arms around me. I rest my head on his shoulder and cried some more. I cried until I felt as if all the water had been drained from my body.

"Now, tell me what happened, Lovi." He said while rubbing my back.

"G-Gilbert told Toni."I said once finally stopped crying. Feli tensed up before pulling away.

"How did Toni respond?" He asked, I could see the worry in his eyes.

"I don't know." I said, looking down. "I ran away without listening to anything he had to say. It all happened so fast." I continued. I swallowed a huge lump in my throat, "I ran away before he could break up with me, or tell me I'm discusting, or-"

"Lovi!" He shouted almost, which surprised me, since he almost never shouted.

"You and I both know that Antonio would never do that!"

"I've never given him the reason to." I replied looking to the floor.

"But this, this is a very good reason to do that." I felt even more tears cloud my eyes.

"You were right, Feli. I should have told him myself. But I was so scared, I.." my words trailed off as a single tear rolled down my cheek. Feli hugged me again.

"There, there, Lovi. You can stay here as long as you like if you feel you can't see Toni." He said.

"Thank you, Feliciano." I replied. I kept my gaze to the floor and buried my face into my hands and cried some more.
