BILLIE

It's been a week and I haven't talked to Talia anymore.

I don't know if I can. It just hurts a lot.

But I've been doing a little stalking on Instagram and she seems absolutely fine.

Looks like this means nothing to her.

She's smiling like everything's fine.

It's like she doesn't even care.

But I see where she's coming from and I also feel bad that she's always felt bad about herself.

Every time she touched me, I wonder how she felt inside.

I'm being so hard on her and I shouldn't.

But it doesn't mean she gets to be homophobic.

I know there's no way she's actually like that all of a sudden. I know it's been four years, but c'mon.

She was so in love with me and I was in love with her.

I don't get what happened.

It just doesn't make sense.

It's ridiculous for her to be acting like way in 2024. She's a grown woman. She doesn't even live with her parents.

Why can't she be the real her?

It's so stupid.

I need to talk to her.

I just don't understand some things.

About 15 minutes later, Talia knocks on my door and I open it for her. "Hi." She says.

"Hey." I reply as I let her in. We walk into my living room and sit down on the couch. "I have somewhere to be, can you make this quick?" She asks.

"I just wanna know something." I say. "What?" She furrows her brows. "Did you love me? Like, ever?" I ask.

"Of course I did. I just don't... like girls anymore." Talia shrugs. "How can you just stop liking girls? I don't get it." I sigh.

"I'm doing what God wanted me to do. I was made to marry a man, Billie, and that's what I have to do some day." She replies.

"Do you really wanna wake up in ten years in the middle of the night, next to a man and realize I told you so?" I ask. "Because you know I hate to say it, but.. I told you so. You're gonna be unhappy for the rest of your life if you do this."

Talia takes a deep breath before speaking. "You don't know what you're talking about."

"But I do. Why can't you just let yourself be happy? I know all that homophobic bullshit is fake." I roll my eyes. "It's not, I think liking girls goes against God and it's wrong to do." She responds.

"You're gonna regret this." I tell her. "You'll be stuck with some dude, as nothing more than his wife, and you'll think about me and us all those years ago, and realize you made a huge mistake. It doesn't have to be me, but you know damn well you won't be happy if you don't marry a girl."

"Yes, I will." She says. "I want a husband and children some day." Talia tells me, almost like it's painful to say.

"You know what? Fine. But don't come crawling back to me when you realize that this is what you want." I shrug.

Talia rolls her eyes at me and gets up to leave. Before she walks out the door, she turns back on her heel. "I really did love you."

I don't say anything, just let her leave.

Once she's gone, I start crying.

I miss her so badly but she'll never change.

And she'll never be mine again.

TALIA

I feel tears build up in my eyes as I drive home.

I fucked up.

Billie's probably right, but who cares? I need to listen to God and not be selfish of what I want.

I mean, not like I like girls anyways.

I don't anymore.

I hope she accepts that.

good luck, babe! | b.e.Where stories live. Discover now
