"Babe, this isn't what it looks like."

Those were the words that I first heard when I witnessed the horrid scene unravelling right before my eyes. I remember blinking back the tears as I forced a smile on my face before turning around and saying "I'm fine.".

But the thing is, I wasn't. It was never fine.

Those were always the exact words that people say when someone catches them red-handed. Saying it isn't what it looks like when the reality is, it's exactly what it looks like.

Next comes "I can explain." and right up till now I have always let them. Thinking I would be in the wrong if I don't hear their reasons. And even though it was slowly killing me, I never showed my distress. Surely I would mope inside the protection of my all too familiar bedroom walls but no one has ever been present to see me in my moments of despair.

Even the people I held close to me didn't notice anything wrong. And I take that as a good thing, because not everything has to be seen and heard. Still, I can't help but wish there was someone who understood.

Today I'm supposed to meet with my boyfriend. Yes, the same guy I caught hooking up with some random chick I had not an idea about. And yes, I am aware that I shouldn't be naive enough to hear his part but I needed that.

I needed to know why.

I am not so sure that if he shows up he will try to win me back. But I'm fairly certain that I'm only here to ease my pain. Even if it's just by a small fraction.

I'm not here to listen to his excuses but rather, I am here to hear his reasons.
