Ch.52 Cutting Ties

DANIEL'S POV.

I didn't get any fucking sleep last night.

I can't believe I actually broke up with Gia.

I didn't want to I really didn't.

But I had to.

It was hard as fuck to tell her it wasn't gonna work, I didn't think I could get the words out of my mouth.

I don't care about all these other bitches out there.

I just did that cause I thought I'd get back to my old ways right away and do what I always did before I got with Gia.

Fuck a bunch of bitches you know?

But I didn't like it.

None of them are her.

All I think about is that girl.

But I already pushed her away so it's over now.

This morning I texted her and told her I have some of her shit still in my room so to come get it.

She's on her way so I start putting her stuff in a box.

Some clothes she left, her purse, some heels, a perfume bottle, and even this Rolex watch that she bought me.

Since I had bought her one she wanted to get me one too.

But I'm gonna give it back to her.

She texts me saying she's outside so I grab the box and go outside.

I see her standing outside by her car and I walk up to her.

"Here" I say handing her the box.

She grabs it and puts it in her backseat.

Then she takes a box out of her car.

"Um you left some of your stuff at my house" she says handing it to me.

I grab it and immediately see the Marc Jacobs watch I bought her.

"Here" I say grabbing the watch and handing it to her.

"No, it's yours" she tells me.

"No it's not I bought it for you just keep it" I tell her.

"I don't want it" she says shaking her head closing the back seat door.

"Gia I bought it for you I-" I say but she cuts me off.

"Just take the damn watch Daniel I don't want this shit" she says harshly.

I put the box down for a second.

"Gia I don't want you to be mad at me or hate me" I say with a sigh.

She let's a small laugh.

"You don't want me to be mad? You break my heart, and fucked with my head, and you don't want me to be mad??" She says as her eyes get glossy.

I didn't wanna break her heart.

That wasn't my intention at all.

"Alright fine be mad but I don't want you to hate me, we can't end shit all bad, I still love you I just-" she cuts me off again.

"DON'T, do not, tell me, you love me, after you broke up with me, don't even go there right now Daniel" she says calmly but an extremely angry way.

I just nod and she gets in her car.

I pick up the box and she drives off.

When I go back into my house my moms standing there.

"What's going on with you and Gia??" she asks.

"Nothing mom alright not right now" I say with a sigh as I take the box to my room.

"Then why did Gia just bring you a box with all your shit crying?" She asks crossing her arms.

I pause.

"I broke up with her" I say disappointedly.

"What?? Why??" She asks in shock.

"Because ma, after that shit with Chino, and being stabbed and all that, I don't wanna get Gia caught up in all that, next thing you know something's gonna fuckin' happen to her" I explain.

"Mijo, nothing is going to happen to Gia, she loves you, and I know you love her, you're the one who protects her and takes care of her, something's more likely to happen to her if you're not with her".

I look down.

"I don't know, she's just, she's probably better off without me, I want her to be happy and I'm always gonna have mad love for her but, I don't know" I say shaking my head.

"You gotta stop pushing people away, the only girl you've been with that actually loves you for you mijo, but I hope you know what decision you just made Daniel" she says then walks out my room.

I sit on my bed and fall back.

I honestly don't know if I'm able to live without Gia.

I know forsure I'll never ever find a fuckin' female like her.

My mom might be right, but for now I just gotta let it be.
