Spirit's POV

You know that feeling when you're trying not to cry, and there's that big lump in your throat, ready to burst?

You know that feeling when you're trying not to cry, and there's that big lump in your throat, ready to burst?

That's how I feel right now.

I'm trying to keep it together, the best way I know how, cause you're never supposed to show the enemy any weaknesses.

The sad thing is, my enemy was once my lover.

He was my everything.

I hate that you can't stop loving someone instantly.

Like why do I have to care about you, even after you've done me dirty?

This love shit, is bullshit.

"So that's it? You're gonna call it quits, after I made one mistake?" Devin asked, looking at me, as if he couldn't believe the words that were coming out of my mouth.

I'm pretty sure I was speaking English.

"Is that what you're calling it now? A mistake? Cheating, isn't a mistake, it's a choice. You chose to go out with you ex, even after I said I was uncomfortable with it. But what did you tell me?" I asked, waiting for him to answer, but he said nothing, with that stupid look on his face.

"You said, I had nothing to worry about. Then I find out you've been fucking her for months. You didn't even have the balls to tell me the truth. I figured it out on my own. So to answer your first question, yes I'm calling it quits, because of what you decided to do." I said, swallowing that lump that made itself comfortable on my throat.

This depressing ass moment made me wish I was a vampire, so I could switch off my emotions.

I'm just so tired of feeling all these stupid emotions.

Breakups happen.

I get that.

Some people aren't meant to last.

I understand.

But, it hurts when you think you're gonna spend forever with someone, and they turn around a stomp on your heart.

Devin made me believe we were gonna spend our lives together.

He even proposed to me, helped me plan a wedding, even talked about having kids together. Only to turn around and fuck an ex that popped up out of nowhere.

I may still love him, but I know better than to take back a lying cheat.

"How many times do I have to apologize?! I told you she meant nothing to me! We're supposed to get married, baby. Don't you still want that?" He asked, trying to turn shit on me.

I know better than to fall for that.

"Of course I still wanna get married. Just not to a lying, cheating, piece of shit. It's over Devin. Be happy with your ex, and forget about me. It's not like you were thinking of me, when you laid down with her." I said, picking up a box of my stuff I had came over to grab.
