love runs out

pov cleo

I walk to the last patient before my shift is finished. So today I'm going to miss Gravenhage, she's something on her lungs but she still is happy and keep smiling. Which I think is so inspiring because they're a lot of people who have less shit and act like they have a worse life.

"Hello miss Gravenhage, how are you feeling today?" I ask her and she smiles. "Hello sweetheart," she smiles and lays on her bed, feeling really tired lately. "Little bit tired like usual," she smiles and looks at me what I'm doing. "Allright, that's just the treatments. Is there anybody coming today to visit u?" I ask her. "Yeah, my daughter in law is coming," she smiles. "You're son should be so proud of you how you handle this. You're fighting against all the pain," I say. "That's true sweetheart. He will come tomorrow. But I heard you're free tomorrow, so you won't meet him," she says. "It will be fine," I smile.

I control her blood pressure and ect. "Are you in love?" She asks me. "Why?" I ask her and she smiles. "Well, are you in love with someone?" She asks me. "No im not. I feel great being myself," I smile. I get on that time a text and I grab my phone. Miss Gravenhage said I should answer it.

m: im coming back today, around 4, can you pick me up, like you wanted to do at first

I smile slightly and respond quickly back. I hear miss Gravenhage chuckle.

c: I'll be there

m: amazing! See ya then x

He send a 'x' to me? Oh wow, he's sweet.

I come back to my work and put my phone into my pockets in my nurse clothing. "You said, you're feel great being alone," she chuckles. "Yeah," I mutter normally. "Why were you so smiling big at your phone then?" Miss gravenhage asks. "A friend of mine that I haven't seen in a long time is coming home, finally," I answer her question. "I think you like that person," she says and I shake my head. "No, I don't. We're just friends," I smile and she nods. "Good luck for your shift further and good weekend," she smiles and I nod. "Thank you miss Gravenhage. Enjoy your weekend too with your daughter in law and your son," I smile and she nod.

"Guys, I'm changing and then going hime, see you on Monday," I say and I get a hug from Anna. "Yes, see you on Monday sis. Have fun." She says. It makes me happy and I change myself quickly into my own daily outfit. I give Ben a high five before I go.

I get into my car and turn on the music on, I dance half through the car ride and I came at Schiphol, I pick up Martijn who will land soon as now. I get out my car and walk to the right gate where he will walk out. I get a Starbucks coffee and wait for him.

m: I just landed

c: I'm already here

m: amazing! Can't wait to see you x

It feels so weird to see him sending 'x'. Like is it true or whatever?

I wait nervously and I look around, see people waiting on their family member or friend. The doors are opening and I look around where I see people walking through and hugging their family member. "Omg I missed you," I hear someone saying, I guess a mom to her son.

I see Louis walking through and some people next to him, i don't know them. Then behind those people I see Martijn. He smiles and walks quick to me. Louis looks at him quite weird why he walks to me.

"Hey, how are you?" He asks me.

"I'm good, what about you?" I ask him.

"Good, the shows were amazing, you should definitely come," he asks me.

"Great, Come'n," I said and he walked with me. "Guys, I'm going with Cleo to my home. Bueee, see ya guys later," he says and we both walk over to mine car.

I sit down and he put his suitcase behind. He sits next to me and smiles.

"So what are you up to?" He asks.

"We're friends and I pick you up. Bring you home," I simply said.

"Right," he mutters.

"But if you want to tell me more about your shows, you can," I said quick.

"No, it's fine," he says.

It's getting akward, there's a big silence between us. I don't know what changed him, before he went off we had fun and laughed.

After a long akward silence so thus car ride we're finally reaching the right street.

"I don't what happened?" I ask him and he scoffs softly.

"Whatever. What does it matter?" He asks and looks at me.

"What do you mean? I did nothing wrong," I say and I don't get him. He suddenly changed. "You changed," I say.

"I changed? Look to your mother fcking self. You talking crap," he says suddenly and get out the car. I have no words to say for this.

"Martijn, I'm not changed," I say and get out the car too. He's ready to walk inside his apartment building.

"So what happened then?" He asks me.

"I don't know, you fcking don't tell me ," I yell.

"If you don't know, then don't fcking care," he says and walks off.

I bite on my lips, I struggle to hold on not to cry in public. What went wrong?

I hold my breath and see him storming off, probably being mad.

I turn my car off and walk into my own apartment and I close the door behind me. I slowly start crying and I feel the tears rolling down my cheek. I can't stop crying I just want to talk with him, like we were before he went off.

It hurts me.
