Broken Heart

Chapter 2 : The breakup

Chapter 2

Later...

Riker POV

I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about Paige... And our breakup...

Flashback

"Riker-"

"I saw you with that guy!"

"It was my cousin!"

"Oh really!?"

"His dad left him when he was a baby, and his mom just died from a heart attack. We're letting him stay with us for a little while, and I took him out to lunch yesterday to talk to him. I'm not cheating on you!"

I sighed, and crossed my arms.

"Riker, you seriously need to control yourself."

"What are you talking about?"

"Do I really have to say it?"

I stayed silent.

"Riker, you dumped water on my cousin. And then you dumped his lunch on his head. You wouldn't let me explain, and then you stormed out. It's not like this is the first time you overreacted, and then lost it. I seriously don't know what to do with you. It's like you don't even trust me anymore. You're way too overprotective."

"Well sorry for trying to protect what I love!"

"Riker, you know what I mean."

"Well I'm sorry I'm not perfect!"

"Riker, it's not even that. It's the lack of trust, and the overreacting over nothing. And you never give me a chance to explain before you do something drastic or storm out of wherever we are! I'm sorry, but it's really annoying, and it hurts to know that you don't trust me."

"So what?"

"So... Riker, I've given you so many chances... I'm sorry, but I can't deal with this anymore. I'm breaking up with you."

Tears filled my eyes.

"W-what?"

"I'm breaking up with you. I'm sorry."

Paige kissed my cheek, and then walked out the door, leaving me standing there in tears.

End of flashback

I got up, and locked myself in the bathroom. I was trying my best to cry quietly, but I wasn't being very successful. I heard knocks on the door.

"Riker, open up."

I opened the door. It's Rocky.

"Aw, Riker. What's wrong?"

"I miss her!" I cried.

"Come on. Let's go sit in bed."

He took my arm, and pulled me over to my bed. We both got in, and he put his arm around me.

"Riker, it'll get easier over time.

"I hate that it was my fault we broke up."

He started rubbing my back.

"Rik, please just try to calm down, ok? I don't want you to wake anyone else up."

"What time is it?"

"Almost 3:00 in the morning. Have you been up this whole time?"

"Yeah..."

Rocky sighed.
