The Mixer and the Mount

Chapter 20 - The Unexpected

-1 week later-

After the shock of my father who I hadn't seen for 18 years showed up, my mental state was all over the place. I had been really distant with Mase and focused on work completely. I finished recording in the studio and headed home after a full day of recording, on my way home I got dinner from the town noodle shop. I collected and payed for the food and arrived home not long after. Silver had gone to California to visit her family for the week, so I had the apartment to myself. I placed my takeout on the counter and changed into some lounge wear. Just as I sat down ready to eat, there was a know on the door. I got up and answer the door to a stressed Mason, he looked up at me with red puffy eyes, he had obviously been crying and the guilt I felt knowing I was the reason of this pain broke me, but I knew avoiding him was the right thing to do, not for myself but for him. He looked at me before looking back down at the floor, after a few seconds of silence, he spoke up, "your leaving me aren't you?" he said, with pain in his voice, I broke out a sob and walked into my living room with Mason following behind me closing the door. He walked towards me, wrapping me up in his arms while I sobbed into his jumper, Mason silently crying as well. After feeling ready to talk I broke out of the hug and looked up at him "Mason... I love you and I always will, but I'm not right for you, I have to much baggage, you don't need the hassle of that" I said, breaking with each word, he just looked at me, knowingly of the next words to be said "I think it's best this ends here, before anymore feelings are involved" I spoke out with tears pouring down my face. He just looked at me and nodded "I-if that's what you want" he said with a break, he didn't even look at me before walking out leaving me heartbroken.

Masons POV-
I was devastated, I walked out of the apartment complex and got in my car before breaking down. I sat there pouring my heart out, I thought about what had just happened and suddenly felt a rush of anger through my veins, I punched the steering wheel multiple times before calming down and driving home. I was heartbroken, the first women I properly love just broke me, it felt as though she ripped my heart from my chest, she may as well of. I walked into my house just wanting to crawl into my pit and never get out again, but was greeted by my mother, father, sister and niece, I just looked up and sighed, "Well isn't that a lovely greeting to your mother who you haven't seen in over a month?" My mother said while walking over to me arms out wide. While hugging me she asked "where's that beautiful girlfriend of your?" my face dropped, my father and sister noticed and confusion furrowed their faces. I just excused myself and run to my room, breaking down as soon as I closed the door.
