Christmas was usually my favorite time of year, but not this year. I was all alone. Though it wasn't my fault. Alfie had cheated on me. It still felt weird to say. He came yesterday to get his stuff. He tried to speak to me. I didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to hear all his lies and excuses.

Alfie stormed around the house gathering his things into a bag, he looked so hot today. I stared at him as he kept opening and slamming the drawers. I looked away when he lifted his head to look at me. But I could see his face in the corner of my eye, he was crying. A tear fell down his cheek and my eyes started to water. I couldn't bear this, I haven't done anything wrong but I feel like I need to apologize even though I didn't do it .
A lump in my throat grew bigger and bigger as Alfie picked up his bags and walked to his car. I watched him from half way up the stairs. He slammed the door behind him.
I burst into tears. He was gone. I felt like all I knew was sadness and all I could think of was him and what he did.
I sobbed for hours, until it felt like there were no tears left. Crying doesn't make things better, it just makes you feel empty and tired. I've had my heartbroken before but I've never felt this way about someone. It was all so abrupt- why has he done this? Am I not enough? I want to say it was a mistake but you can't cheat by accident, you still have to make a conscious decision to do it.
How could he do this?
