Alone

C12 Never Stopped

"Abe, what you saw that day was totally misleading." He said to me.

I was listening but acting like I wasn't by looking at some stuff on my phone.

"After I got that call, it was Kimberly calling me because I was planning a surprise party for you. I asked Kimberly for help and that was it. I did not have any other intensions. When I went back home she was waiting for me. I was confused because every time I would ask her something about you she would say something to put you down. Then when I sat on the couch she just came over and gave me a drink, I accepted it as a friendly kind of thing. But she got me tipsy and forced herself on me. That was when you walked in. I didn't know what I was doing until you walked in." He said.

He was drunk?! Are you fucking kidding me?

Wow. I was not expecting that. I looked a bit from my phone. I looked at him. He was staring me down. It was like he was waiting for me to say something.

My best friend forced herself on him. I literally went 4 years without knowing the truth. All this time I was being such a fool. I loved this guy.

But that love is gone. I don't have it in me to fall in love again. I'm just to tired of it. Tired of the constant lies. The bitterness. Someone who wants to be in love doesn't deserve such a person like myself who is anti-love.

"Abe, I never stopped thinking about you. You have to know that. Nor will I ever stop." He said.

I was very annoyed. "Can you not call me that. It's Abigail." I said harshly.

His eyes looked like they were filled with pain.

"Please forgive me." He said.

"Neymar. I can forgive you. I can forgive you for hurting me. I can forgive you for cheating on me-"

"I did not cheat on you! She forced herself on me!" He spat.

"You pulled an act of dishonestly and unfaithfulness by going behind my back and doing whatever you were doing with her." I retorted.

"I was drunk!" He said.

"Let me continue. I am willing to forgive you for everything. Honestly speaking, I am over it. But if me forgiving you will somehow be in your benefit, then fine. You have my forgiveness." I said. His eyes lit up as he was happy. "But just remember this. Just because I forgive, I don't forget." I said and then sighed. "Neymar, I loved you. You seriously can't expect me to forget what you did to me. You don't know how much it hurt to leave that day." I felt my eyes turned glossy but I forced my tears to stay in. I am strong. "I came from the hospital... You were going to find out about Davi that day but after what I saw, I didn't want you in my son's life. But now that you're in it, I expect you to take it seriously." I said.

I heard the timer go off and I stood up leaving Neymar speechless. I walked to the kitchen and took the cake out. After that I started setting the table.

After that I decided to go and call the boys down. I left the kitchen and went to the stairs to go upstairs. As I passed the living room, Neymar wasn't there anymore.

He left! Yes!!

I went upstairs to my room and heard laughing as I got closer.

Standing at the door way, I saw the two boys cuddled up against Neymar, who was sitting on my bed.

I cleared my throat and walked in. They saw me.

"Okay boys, time for dinner." I said smiling.

I went to Thiago and put my arms out for him.

He was happy as he came into them. I pucked him up and turned to Neymar and Davi, but keeping my eyes on Davi. "Let's go sweetie. We have to eat." I said and smiled.
