You left me (Part 1)

I'm not sure if I understand why we broke up but I know how.

He stopped calling me, messaging me and coming to see me.

I haven't seen him in 3 months and so I automatically assume we're over.

His sisters don't mention anything about us they just ask how I'm doing and what have I been up to.

I've had enough though, they show up to my work place smiling at me. I've never seen them with smiles like this before so something must have happened.

Their smiles stop when they see me looking emotionless.

"Julia honey what's wrong?" Amanda asks

"What's wrong?" I slam my make up brushes down and face them "What's wrong is that your brother hasn't even told me what I did wrong?!"

"What are you talking about?" Diana says

They both booked in a makeup and hair session with me. They've got some family thing going tonight and they want to look fabulous

"I can't move on from him because he hasn't told me what I did wrong for him to break up with me" I close my eyes trying not to cry. I've had guys come up and ask me out on dates but I get so scared of moving forward with them because I still don't know what I did to make Brian leave me.

"Honey" Amanda says sitting in the chair in front of me

"It doesn't matter, I guess it's something I will never know, let's do your makeup"

It took me a couple of hours to get their hair and makeup done but it was totally worth it.

They asked me to come tonight but I refused. My brother was in town for a few nights and I plan to hang out with him before he goes again.

He only visits because he travels for work and since he's been here, he's been helping me pack my things so I can move back home.

5 years is a long time to be away from home and it's time I go home. The only thing that kept me here was Brian.

Brian is a strong beautiful man that I came to love. We fought over the 2 years we were together but it wasn't to the point where we would drive each other away.

At least that's what I thought.

"Juls are you ready?" I hear my brother call out from downstairs

"Yup just putting my shoes on" I had introduced Amanda and Diana to my younger brother when he stopped by my work for lunch.

They thought he was my new fling, we both laughed and said no that we are siblings. It was a little bit awkward.

I hadn't mentioned to them that I was moving home but I did tell my work colleagues it was my time to head back.

"Night Danny, don't forget to wake me in the morning" I yell out

"Don't stay up too late" he yells back

I left a couple of things at the work place and as I was heading out, a car comes screeching down the road and stops outside my house.

Danny had the truck parked in the driveway so I had to park on the street.

I stop and look for a moment before my heart stops and I see my ex get out of the car and walk straight towards me

"I finally come home after 3 months of being away expecting you to be at my welcoming party and I have to hear from my sisters that you think I broke up with you, then they tell me that you are moving back home, what the fuck Julia?! I call you everyday and you don't pick up, I have to fucking ask my sisters how you are and if they know why you're not answering my calls"
