There's Always Trouble In Paradise

Goodbye

The weekend ended and it was Daniels time to arrive home. I stood in my room nervously awaiting for his arrival. I told my parents that I was going to bed and that I was tired for my day outing. I do admit, I was tired from my day out. But I felt ashamed, I lied to my parents and told them that I was going out to do some wedding planning. While in fact, I was at Kevins house, spending some more time with him.

I paced nervously in my room, twisting the ring Kevin gave me on my finger. How am I going to break this to Daniel? I do love him and care for him, but Kevin was right. He did not truly know me, and I did not truly know him. I knew he was smart, rich, handsome, and good in bed, and I guess that's about as much as he knew about me. I also did not and could never love him like I love Kevin. He never made my heart fly like Kevin did.

I heard the front door open and my parents welcoming Daniel back. My heart began to pound. I sat down on the bed. Then stood back up. What should I do? I decided since my parents told him I was sleeping, it would probably best to at least sit on my bed. I could not lay down, I was too anxious about what was to come. My feet were bouncing and my hands were shaking as I kept twisting the ring on my finger.

"This is the right thing to do Eddward."

I took a deep breath in as I watch Daniel open the door and walk into my room. He was a beautiful man, truly beautiful, but he was nothing like Kevin.

"There's my fiancé, I thought you were sleeping." Daniel smiled and came over to me, knocking me back on the bed with kisses.

I tried to pull back to get some air. "Daniel, we need to talk."

But it was a failed attempt as he started kissing on my neck and pulling my shirt up. I became even more nervous now due to the fact that Kevin had left some marks on my chest from making love the night before. I would never picture myself someone who would cheat on who I was with, but Kevin just makes me melt and forget everything.

"Daniel, wait, we really need to talk. Daniel."

Before I could stop him, my shirt was off. Daniel was sitting on my waist, staring at my bare chest that Kevin clearly left all of his marks on me.  He left more than I ever remember of him leaving, probably to try to show that he claimed me back as his.

"What is this?"

"Daniel.." I went to lay a comforting hand against his cheek, but he grabbed my wrist before I could touch him. I could see the anger in his eyes.

"What the fuck is this Eddward!?" His grip tighten and I winced from pain.

"Daniel, you're hurting me."

But his grip did not soften, if anything, it got even tighter. "Who did you whore around with!?"

"Daniel!"

"Was it Kevin? Did you fuck around with Kevin while I was gone!?"

"Daniel, please let me explain!"

Daniel yanked me up by my wrist roughly, I yelped a little from the pain. "Were you whoring on Kevin!?"

"I was not whoring on him! But.."

"But what Eddward!?"

"We.. W-we did make love."

Daniel just stared at me for a moment. "Made love?"

"Daniel."

"Made love!? Is that what you call it!? You and I make love Eddward! That's what this represents!" Daniel shoved my hand in my face and then looked at my hand himself.

"This isn't the ring I gave you. Where's the ring?"

I took in a deep breath. "Kevin gave me this ring."
