Broken Promises

Chapter 19

Mikayla POV

"Wait. What?"

"I think you heard what I said. Why did you cheat on me?"

"What kind of question is that, Kay?"

He was pissing me off.

"Stop calling me that! I just asked one question. Why did you cheat on me?"

He looked at the floor and stood up. I watched him move slowly and say nothing. He loosened his tie and sighed.

"Will you just say something?!"

"What do you want to hear, Mikayla?! Do you want to hear that Ana forced herself on me? Do you want to hear that I was thinking of you the whole time? Do you want to hear that I was drunk during the whole thing?!"

His face was completely red.

"Well, none of those things were true! It was completely consenting between Ana and I. I didn't think of you once, and I was completely sober. I'm sorry, but you're not going to get the answer that you're probably looking for".

"Then, what was it?", I asked, "why did you do it? Why did you ruin my life? Why did you make me lose my trust in men and people?! Why did you do it?"

"I've told you this before".

"I need to hear it again".

"Why?", he edged closer to me, "to put away your own guilt?"

"Guilt? What could I possibly be guilty of?"

"Guilty of your lack of feelings for Louis".

I sat in the chair across from his desk.

"You think you know everything, Cam. Well, you don't. I am happy".

"No, you're not, and you know it. You have sad eyes. You want an out. You want an out because you don't want to be the one to end it".

"Nothing is going to end", I told him, "I love Louis".

"I know you do, but you can't stand your relationship anymore. You want to make it so bad that he breaks up with you. Well, newsflash! He loves you way too much to be the one to break your heart. So, you two are going to be unhappy for a really long time until one of you finally does you both a favor. End it".

"Technically, we're not even together", I said, wiping away a tear.

"Trust me. You two are still together. Neither one of you are letting go".

I rolled my eyes and looked away. Why did he choose now to not be a dick?

"Why are you telling me this, Cam? I thought you would've jumped at the chance to flirt with me".

"I only flirt with you to piss Louis off. But, his heart is going through enough right now. I figured he's had enough".

"So, you really are a nice guy?"

"No", he laughed, "I'm a complete dick. But, I'm going to give him a break".

"Why?"

"Cause I know what it's like to lose you".

I looked at his face, and there was no trace of humor at all. No smile, no sarcasm, nothing.

"See? You're capable of being a good guy".

"Now that I think about it, you were the best lover I've ever had. If it doesn't work out between you and Louis, -".

"And, now I'm leaving".
