you pt. 2

There was a long silence before he spoke up. "So, how are you?" I sighed and stared at my shoes. "I mean, I've been better, but I'm alright. You?" It seemed like he didn't even listen to me, because all he said was "I miss you." I looked up and a tear slipped from his eye. I didn't know why, I still despised the bastard, but I wrapped my arms around his waist and held him closer. He threw his arms around my neck and lost it. I felt tears wetting my white dress shirt.

"Can we go somewhere? Like, alone? I really need to calm down." He wiped his tear stained face. I gave him a slight smile and nodded, scanning the room for an empty space. "Come on, over there" I grabbed his arm and walked him to the empty room. People were looking at us, confused about where we were going.

I sat on the floor, since the room was actually empty and what seemed for the millionth time this evening, I let out a sigh. "Look, I'm sorry for breaking down earlier. It's just-" he sighed. "I really miss you, okay? I don't even know why I hurt you, or let you go in the first place." he ran his hand through his hair. "God, I- I regret everything, okay? Everything I've said. All the things I've done. I'm sorry." he scooted against the wall & held his knees to his chest as new tears started to form in his eyes.

"So you regret loving me? Trusting me? Telling me that I'm the reason you haven't given up yet?" I started to get angry. "Spending every fucking second with me while you could've been doing other, amazing things?" My voice grew louder with every word.

He slowly lifted his head up, tears stained his pale cheeks. "You don't understand. I still love you.", he sobbed.
