"I don't love you anymore."
5 words. That's all it took for you to shatter my heart. It was as if time stopped. It was so unnaturally quiet, I could hear us breathing.
"It's not funny. Stop joking." I say, walking closer to you.
"It's not a joke. I don't love you anymore. There's someone else." You say.
"Someone else? Who is it? Who is it!" I yell, not being able to control my emotions.
"That's none of your business. I love her now, not you." I throw myself at you, wrapping my arms around your torso, begging you not to do this.
"Let go of me." You say and push me away. I stumble on my feet.
"I'm leaving." You move towards our room and yank the cupboard door open and grab a suitcase. You dump your clothes and everything else into it, sparing not as much as a glance at me. I'm crying and begging. Begging you to stay. You roll your suitcase out to the hall and towards the door.
I latch onto your feet. "Please. I'm begging you please don't do this to me. I-I love you."
"I don't." You say harshly, wrenching your leg from my grasp. You're out the door within seconds. A loud cry escapes my mouth as I slid down the door. You were cheating. That's where you were. With someone else.
You left. You're gone.
And this time you're not coming back.
