Chapter 14 - Breaking up???!!!

The movie was finished. It was very well done and the not hero was hilarious. I think everyone would agree with me there, because almost everyone in the room was laughing, and some people even applaud and whistled when the movie was over. That's how you know a movie is good, they're applauding to a screen even though the actors or directors can't see it.

"That movie was sick, so happy we went to see it!" My boyfriend said next to me as we was outside the cinema. "Yeah, me too" But I wasn't happy for the same reason he was. "What if superheroes exists in real life too, but they work in secret so we're not able to see them?!" He exclaimed with so much enthusiasm. I laughed and looked down.
I guess I should be happy that he still choose me over anyone else. But open relationships are not my thing. Specially if I didn't know we had one.

"Are you alright Ariel?" He looked down, concerned written in his eyes, and I took a deep breath before blurting out, "If you don't love me anymore, just tell me okay?"
I examined his face, and he looked shocked before taking me in his arms. For the first time hugging him, I felt both safe and also unsecure.  Which is not a good sign.

"Of course I still love you," He said with a sooth voice. "You're the best thing I have, I promise!" Oh a promise I'm pretty sure he's lying about. "But you would tell me if you ever stopped, right?" I held him tight, afraid that if I let him go, he would vanish forever.

"Why are you asking me these things Ariel?" He held me by my shoulders and stared in my eyes, raising his eyebrows a bit to make it look like he actually cared about me. "I read your dms to Luke" I blurt out a bit ashamed, because now he will think I don't trust him. Which I didn't, but he doesn't have to know that. 

Simon doesn't  say anything. This street is completely empty from humans, the wind is hitting me, making my hair fly back and the only sound to be heard is the beating from my heart. After what seems like an eternity, I can feel his grip loosen and he takes a step back. 

"you what?" He almost spat at me, I looked at him heart broken. I didn't want him to be mad at me, I didn't want to lose him. But what he did was even worse than what I did. I went thru his dms, yeah maybe I shouldn't have done that. But on some level that is still kind of alright. We have been together for more or less than a year. I should be able to trust him enough to not look thru his phone, and he should be able to have a phone where I can look thru his stuff without finding weird conversations.

"Don't you dare blaming this on me now!" I shout at him, and he gives me a face on disgust. "Ariel, are you out of your mind?!" He yells back on this empty street, where the darkness have laid upon us. "I don't go thru your stuff, why would you go thru mine!" He voice gets louder and I look at the ground, not wanting to meet his eyes that were full of disappointment. "First you go thru Lace's messages, because you think she's hiding something, and now mine's? How broken is your trust Ariel? How far are you gonna take this because you think everyone is hiding something? Soon you're going to find something you don't like, that you won't approve of at all, and what are you gonna do? All you're doing now is breaking all your relationships with everyone,"

"No Simon, stop," I say with tears falling down my cheek and the moon giving my eyes sparkles. "I did it all for a reason. And my gut feeling was right, just look at now for example, Luke and you had a conversation about flirting and girls and yes that is cheating, because you shouldn't look at other girls like that. You're suppose to give me your attention." I could barely speak, I wasn't yelling, I was more on the whispering part, making some words not audible. My throat started to ache more and more, and all I wanted to do was to break down, but I couldn't. I had to be strong in front of him, even though I had tears, I was still strong for not having a mental break down in the middle of this empty street where only him and I where.

"You probably slept with Lace as well, but are just too much of a coward to admit it!" My vision became blurry of all the water that wanted to escaped my eyes, and I embraced myself and shut my eyes tightly. "You should trust me, without going thru my phone. Doesn't one year together mean anything to you?" Simon said, probably in an attempt to calm me, because as I saw it, he wasn't very upset about the whole situation. "It does, it's for you it doesn't mean anything." I whispered before I turn around and started to walk away.

"Ariel! I love you! I did not sleep with anyone but you!" I heard his voice yell after me, but to be fair. If he really  cared, he would have run after me, not just yell meaningless words.

Actions speak so much more than words ever will.
