I arrived at Mason's house fifteen minutes ago.
I told him everything that was weighing on my heart and my chest.
"I feel so bad, Mason. I wish I could take those words back, but I can't. He doesn't even want to talk to me, and I can't blame him."
"If anyone should feel bad, it should be him. He's the one who cheated on you and lied."
I looked down at my hands, "I still think I went too far. I let my anger consume me. I wasn't even listening, I think I should give Xabriel another chance to say his side of the story now that I'm in better touch with my emotions."
Mason didn't say anything, he just turned his head back to the television.
I sighed before pulling out my phone and composing a new text message.
I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I was being petty, childish, and speaking from an angry heart. I didn't realize how hurtful my words were until I came home and re-evaluated the situation. I didn't mean a thing I said. I love you so much, I really do. It took me some time to realize it but, I'm insecure Xabriel. Part of me knows how much you love me, and the other part of me is scared to be loved by you. I just find it impossible to fully believe you love me, and it's not your fault. You let your past go, and I need to do the same. Can we talk about everything and start over?
Before pressing send, I asked Mason if he could read it and tell me what he thinks.
"I think you should move on," he answered, deleting the message, "He's no good for you, and he has a baby on the way."
"But-"
"No buts, you deserve someone who's going to make you laugh, and all Xabriel does is make you cry."
"You don't understand."
"Oh, but I do. He's self-entitled and full of shit. He doesn't care about you, Trinity, you're just an ego booster for him."
"That's not true."
"If you say so, Trinity, it's your life. Do what you want."
"Why do you have such a pissy attitude?" I asked, folding my arms
"Because I'm in love with you, Trinity, and you're in love with the wrong guy! You belong with me! He can't treat you like a can Trinity. Please, please give us a chance," he begged
