All I had to do was one simple task. I had to break up with him. It may seem simple, but it's not. Its complicated even. Because how do you break up with your one year boyfriend that supposedly loves you but you don't love him back? Tate was nice, cute, and smart. But he just wasn't for me. I wanted something different. Something, new. I don't like to be tide down, but I don't want just a one night stand. I want something that'll last for a while, but not forever. And in this case, it's time to let him go.
I was on my way to his apartment right now, I told him we needed to talk. That's how every relationship ends so I'm sure he knew it was coming. I still don't know how I'm supposed to do this, though. It's easier when they don't love you. When I arrived, I could already feel the tension And I wasn't eve in his building. I decided to take the stairs, making more time for me to figure this out.
I finally arrived at his door, 724. I raised my hand and knocked on his door. I took a step back and waited. I felt like I was gonna pass out, which is weird because I've done this talk a hundred times. Usually I'd start it off by saying, This is isn't working. Or, I would just flip him off and tell him to hell with this. You could say I was a bitch about this sorta thing, I don't care. I never really care what anybody thinks anyway. After what happened with my family, things just went down hill and I'm used to it by now.
The door opened revealing Tate standing there in his pajamas. He smiled sadly and opened the door wider for me. I walked past him and stood in front of his couch. He sat down and patted the seat next to him.
"You can sit you know" he mumbled while trying to let out a smile.
"Ah, no thanks. I have to go soon, let's just make this quick" I said holding my shaking hands behind my back.
"You don't have to say it, I know it's not working. With me at work and you at college I knew this wouldn't last forever" he said smiling sadly.
"I'm sorry" I sighed while pulling him in for a hug.
"Maybe we could be friends" he said making me nod slowly. That probably wasn't going to happen.
"I'll see you around" be said leading me to the door. I nodded and walked out, giving him one last goodbye.
"That was easier than I expected" I mumbled as I slid into my Jeep. I started it and drove to the only place that brings back good memories. The park. My family used to go there a the time do some reason. I never knew why though, I think it had something to do with my dad. Before he died of course.
I jumped out of my seat and walked over to the park bench the holds so many untold memories. I sat down on the left side where my brother always sat. We used to be such a happy family until dad died. Always picnicking and going on vacations. Then it turned into always staying home and being a slave to my family. God I'm so glad I'm out of there.
"Why is it so hard to say goodbye?" A boy mumbled while sitting down next to me. I looked up at him and made sure he was talking to me. I decided, what the hell, and answered him.
"Because some people doubt that there'll be another hello" I replied making him look up. I could tell this guy was just crying from his red puffy eyes and for some odd reason, I wanted to make him feel better. He leaned back in his seat, never taking his off me.
"What's your opinion on true love?" He asked out of the blue. A loud sigh left my lips and I let a frown take over my face.
"True love is the where you want to put your partner before anything else I'm the world. Where you treat them with respect and make sure you tell them everything they need to know. It's like a ghost. Many people talk about it but very little few have seen it. Like, how many people have you seen do all those things?" I asked not even thinking about what I had just told this mysterious boy.
He sat there fiddling with his hands and staring at the ground. I sighed and turned towards his direction.
"Its a girl, isn't it?" I said sighing. He looked up with a confused face.
"How'd you know" he asked lifting eyebrows which made me smile at his cuteness.
"Cause it's always a girl" I said standing up and slowly walking away.
"Wait! I didn't catch your name!" I heard him yell. I turned around and smirked.
"Brooklyn" I replied and took off in the direction of my car.
