Our Story (Talex)

Chapter 13: Time

I can't believe it. I just can't. I thought she loved me. I thought she really loved me. That's what I get for being in a steady relationship. I knew something like this would happen.

I got back from my walk and found the house empty. Alex left. I went upstairs to take a shower and go to bed.

The next morning I woke up and got ready for school. I really don't know what to do or what to say to her.

I arrived to school and parked my bike behind the building. I went to class and tried to act normal, I didn't want to be sad and then have people asking questions and all that. The first three periods went by fast and soon it was time for lunch.

I sat next to Kelley, Press, and Hope and Ashlyn, two of the goalkeepers for our team.

"So what's the deal with you and Morgan?" Kelley asked.

It felt like déjà vu from when Kelley asked me on that water break before me and Alex got together, only now it was way different.

"What?"

"I don't know, you tell me. You haven't talked to her all day."

"We had... An argument." I said.

"What happened?" She asked.

"She did something... And I don't think I can forgive her." I said shortly. I didn't want people thinking bad of Alex.

"Oh. Are you ok?"

"No. But I will be eventually." I sighed.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" She asked while putting her hand on my shoulder.

"I-.."

"Tobin can I talk to you?" Alex cut me off coming up to the table.

"Uhh sure."

We walked to the side so no one would see or hear us. She stayed silent.

"Do you want to talk or not?" I asked a bit too coldly than I intended.

"Do you hate me?" She asked, looking down.

"Lex... I would never hate you." I said sincerely, the nickname rolling off my tongue naturally.

"But...?"

"There is no but, I would never hate you."

She stayed silent again.

"I just... I just want you to know that I'm sorry. I love you." She said looking up from the ground and looking to my eyes as she said I love you.

"I know. I love you too. That will never change. I just need some time."

"You're braking-up with me?" Tears filling her eyes.

"I'm sorry. But I told you, I need time."

The tears started to fall down her cheeks.

"I understand." She said staring at the ground again.

"Thank you for understanding."

I walked closer to her and wiped the tears on her cheeks with my thumbs. I gave her one last kiss making sure I put as much passion as I could into it.

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too." She whispered back barely audible.

She kissed me hard.

"Bye Alex."

"Bye Tobin." She said as new tears began to stream down her face.
