The sun was setting in. They wouldn't let me see you. I was there for an hour and my bottoms had started to pain. While the time I was there, I wondered if we were back on. It was a stupid thing to think of when you were in jail, but I couldn't push the thought aside.
"You can see him," The officer told me after a while. His tone of voice had gone from friendly and casual to cold and stern. Maybe it was because of my outburst.
I got up, dusted my hands and moved towards your cell. The officer pulled out a key and swung your door open. You were the only one in your cell. Did they consider you that horrible and dangerous?
I nodded at the officer and he left, but I knew he was still looking at us. Everyone was. A girl coming back to her ex in jail? I think I would stare too.
When I walked in, you wouldn't look up. You kept your head bowed, shaking silently as sobs raked through your body. It broke my heart that you were here because of me. Why were you doing this for me?
"Hey," I said, walking towards you and sitting down cross legged. I wanted to hug you, kiss you, tell you how much I loved you but I couldn't, knowing that it was me who put you here.
"You can't be here," was what you said. I think I died a little inside.
"I'm sorry?" I said slowly, hoping you could forget what you just said. Didn't you understand that i needed to be near you?
"Go away," you said, in a harsh tone that you'd never used with me before. I flinched.
I wanted to say something, wanted to plead for you to let me stay with you, but I didn't. I didn't because I did not want to be one of those clingy exes that I know you hated.
So I got up, dusted my hands and started walking towards the door where I know the officer was waiting. Just before I left, you spoke up, your voice cold and devoid of any emotion.
"I don't love you," you said, and I stumbled. I didn't turn back because I wasn't sure how to deal with the cold look on your face. It was only an hour ago when you said you loved me, so what had caused you to change your mind?
I still loved you.
