He's Just Not That Into Me

Depression hits

I sob into his shoulder, unintentionally. I don't want to cry in front of him. Now he knows something is wrong and I have to make up this whole lie to get him away from me.

"Talk to me. Please." He releases me, and leans on the sink. I sit back down on the toilet.

"Why did you give me that ring?" I blurt out. I immediately regret opening my mouth, but it just happened on its own like a word vomit.

He looks at me with a sense of remorse, mixed with uncertainty. "Uh," he rubs the back of his neck with his left hand. "It was your golden birthday. It was just something special for you," He sighs. "I saw it and thought of you."

I look up to him, with my elbows resting on my knees. "Mark, it was a promise ring. You even said it yourself."

"I said it kinda was. It was more of a friend promise ring. A ring to promise that I'll always be your friend. I didn't expect you to take it the way you did."

"Didn't expect me to react the way I- Mark! I thought you liked me!"

"Mark, like you? That is a joke in itself." Claire is back quicker than I thought. Drunker, than I thought.

"Claire, please, not now. Go back to the room," Mark orders.

"No! Why would I go when this skank is trying to steal my boyfriend."

"I'm not trying to steal your boyfriend! I'm trying to clear things up with him!" I fire back.

"Claire, you have nothing to worry about! She won't steal me from you."

"She better not. I'll kick her ass!" She slurs.

"You can't be serious! Your drunk ass wouldn't stand a chance in a fight with me."

"Did you hear her! She is trying to take you from me. Baby why would you let that happen?" She stomps her foot like a two year old.

"She won't steal me! Claire I love you! I don't care about (y/n) one bit, it's all you!" Mark says.

I feel my heart stop. "I have to go." I push past Mark with tears in my eyes.

"(Y/n), wait! That's not what I meant!"

Before I'm out of earshot, I hear Claire say, "Just forget about her. She's a loser anyways."

I look back and he's staring at Claire. Nodding in agreement. Fuck him. I think to myself.

I find Grace and tell her everything. Bob and Wade of course listen to it too since they have nowhere else to be.

"Ouch," Grace says. "I'm still lost as to why he would do that. And to you of all people."

"Mark, is a troubled guy. I mean, his Dad has cancer, his mom hates Claire-"

I cut Bob off, "Don't we all."

"No, we all don't," Wade puts.

"Come on, Wade," Grace begins. "Don't act like we didn't all want them to end up together."

"It's whatever," I say. "Based on what he said, and how he's been acting lately, I don't think he ever did like me."

"We can go back home if you want," Grace suggests.

"Yeah, it's probably for the best." I grab my phone. Grace and I say bye to Wade and Bob.
