Liza's pov

When I first met David, I thought I liked him. I thought maybe we could be something. But I wasn't confident. I didn't have the courage to open up again, let alone talk to him!

But when I finally did, I saw he was a good guy, I saw that his heart was gold. I saw that he was exactly what I wanted. So I opened up and allowed him to see parts of me i hadn't let other people see before, I let him know who i really was underneath all of that armor I'm wearing.

David gave me something no else had given me: he had given me strength, love, confidence, and bravery.

And in just half a second he ripped it away.

I woke up in my bed at about 6 in the morning. I didn't see David anywhere so I figured he was running. I scrolled through my phone, before I remembered  it was garbage day. Maybe if I run downstairs I'll be able to catch the garbage truck. The cold air hit my legs as I ran down my apartment stairs.

"I know! But I'm with someone else now-" I heard muffled voices coming below me and thought nothing more of it.

As I reached the bottom I found the source of the small bickering and my heart stopped.

There I saw David with another girl's lips on him. And he was kissing her right back. My head started spinning and I felt weak. I was tempted to leave by I had to know what was going on.

"David?" My voice cracked as he pushed the girl off of him.

"Liza!" He slowly started walking up to me, "it's not was it looks like, I swear!" 

I shut my eyes not daring to let out a tear. Are you sure David because it looks like you were just kissing another girl..

I decided I didn't want to hurt David. After all he had taught me, I didn't deserve to hurt him back.

I opened my eyes again, "I'm sorry I wasn't enough. Goodbye David."

I dropped the bag of garbage in my hands and left it on the side of the road. David and the girl stood there in shock. I could feel their eyes on my back as I slowly walked up the stairs. As soon as I was out of site, I ran up the rest of the way and quickly locked my door behind me.

I slid down the door, now crying. I guess somethings- some people aren't meant to be.

David's pov

I stood there in shock looking at the place where Liza stood moments ago. She just left me. We're over.

"No, no, no, no!" I screamed and fell to the floor, I turned around to scold Casey who had kissed me but when I turned behind me, I saw nothing.

All my life I thought crying was weakness. I thought if you showed your sadness, you were less, you weren't brave. But now here I am all alone at 6 in the morning crying on the floor. But I am weak, and I'm not brave. Not because I'm crying, but because I just lost the most important thing to me: Liza.

I decided to leave. If I wanted to get her back, I had to give her time.
