"Honey, I'm home!" I called out as I walked into the door of our house. I tossed my car keys on the counter and shrugged my purse off my shoulder.
Kicking my shoes off, I made my way up the stairs to my room. I pushed the door open to find clothes thrown all over the room. The covers on the bed were moving and my heart dropping at the realization of what was happening.
"No..." I whispered, shaking my head. Normani's head popped out from under the cover and her eyes widened when we made eye contact. "No..." I repeated.
"Y/n..." she said quietly, as if she couldn't believe I was there. "I thought you were at work."
"I was, but the Chief let me have a day off." I said absentmindedly.
An unfamiliar girl popped her head out from under the covers. Her curly brown hair and big brown eyes favored mine. I stayed silent as I looked them both over.
"Y/n, this is Jasm-"
"Normani, I don't think this is the best time for introductions. I'm gonna go, but I want all your things gone by the time I get back from work tomorrow. Do I make myself clear?" I asked calmly, choking back tears.
She nodded and sighed, burying her head in her hands, "I'm sorry." she said finally.
"Shut up." I replied as I walked out of the door and then out of the house after grabbing my purse and keys and putting on my shoes.
After asking for some time off from work, I spent the next three days laying on my couch and watching cheesy romantic comedies. I was about to fall asleep on the couch when I heard the doorbell ring. Not wanting to get up, I covered my ears with pillows but that did nothing to drown out the sound of the chimes. I groaned and got off the couch. Shuffling to the door, I rubbed my eyes and ran my fingers through my hair trying to make myself look halfway presentable. I opened the door to find Normani standing there with a stupid look on her face.
"Hi." she said timidly.
"What the hell do you want?" I asked, rolling my eyes.
"I came to check on you. Stop moping around, Y/n. It's not healthy." she said.
"You don't have the right to tell me to stop moping. You don't have the right to show up and act like everything is absolutely fine. You don't have the right to look me in the eyes and look completely guilt free. You're a fucking asshole, you know that? Dating a fucking cheating asshole isn't healthy either, but I did that anyways." I said, getting upset.
"Y/n, your friends are worried about you. You haven't been to work." she said.
"Work? How am I supposed to go into work? I'm a Thoracic surgeon. How do they expect me to fix people's hearts when I can't even fix my own? My heart is broken because of you and there's nothing I can do to fix it. I never learned how to treat this kind of broken heart." I realized I was being slightly dramatic so I stopped talking. Sighing heavily, I spoke again. "Please just make this easy on both of us and leave. Normani, I can't even look at you without feeling sick to my stomach. You make me sick. So, please, leave. Now!"
"Y/n, I'm sorry." she said.
"You know what the worst part about this is?" I asked leaning my head again the door.
She shifted her weight between her feet and jammed her hands into her pockets.
"The worst part about this is that I don't know what to do. Normani, you know me. I always know. I always know what to do. I always have the answers. I graduated from Stanford at the top of my class. I'm always quick on my feet and I always have a solution, but I can't seem to figure out what to do in this situation." I was quiet for a bit. "You know, I knew when you first started cheating on me? I didn't want to believe it, but I guess I have to now." I laughed bitterly.
"Y/n, I don't know what to say." she said.
"You don't have to say anything, Normani. I've been knowing our relationship was over. I just needed a little help accepting it. I guess this was the push I needed to move on. So, thank you, but also fuck you. I love you, but I always hate you. You confuse me and I, Y/Full/N, hate being confused. So, goodbye." I said as I closed the door in her face. I put my back against the door and tried to breathe, as it felt like my throat was closing up. Soon, my eyes started to water and my breathing became uneven. I started to sob, my body shaking violently. I hated Normani for making me feel so stupid, and I hated her because I still loved her, more than anything.
Eventually, I fell asleep on the floor by my door and I woke up in the exact same place. I stood up and got ready to go somewhere, although I didn't know exactly where I was going to go. I stood dressed in front of my door, my hair brushed, makeup done, clothes ironed, and teeth brushed, and I already felt a lot better. I walked out of the house and decided to walk to the park.
When I got there, I made my way to the tree Normani and I had our first date under, oddly enough I felt happy because of all the memories that took place there. I sat down under the tree and closed my eyes.
"I didn't know you were going to be here." I heard Normani's voice say. I didn't respond or even open my eyes. "Y/n."
"What?" I asked, clearly angry.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I hurt you like that. I should've been honest. Y/n, I truly do love you, but that connection that we had isn't there anymore. You've been so busy we barely spend any time together." she said, sitting down next to me. I didn't get up like I wanted to. Instead I stayed sitting and decided to hear her out. "I needed someone and she was there and I'm so sorry that I didn't just talk to you about it. About me needing someone. I'm not good with talking about feelings."
"Thank you for your apology, but I do not forgive you." I said quietly. I stood up and brushed the dirt off my pants. "I love you too, Normani. I love you so much and all you had to do was talk to me, but I know that's not easy for you. You've got to trust me enough to confide in me. Apparently you didn't and I don't trust you anymore, either, and that's why this wont work. So goodbye, Normani."
