Why?
The same thought plagued my mind as I wandered the empty corridors of my old apartment. I hated this place. There were too many memories here, memories of what we were before all this happened. The picture of our first date which sat on the cabinet laughed at me from across the room.
How could I have been so stupid to think he was the one? All I was to him was a naive girl who loved to easily and was so blinded by love she couldn't see the truth. No wonder Jerome had warned me about him, I still remember his words when I first told him that Mitch and I were dating, "Sarah, Mitch isn't who you think he is, he will hurt you." I had yelled at him, said that he was wrong, that Mitch would never hurt me. Now I looked back at that day and realised that Jerome was right, I had never truly known Mitch.
I grabbed the picture of our smiling faces and threw it with all my might against the wall, shattering the glass. Picking up the picture I wiped my cheek, shocked to feel the familiar wetness of tears. No. I won’t cry over him, like Jerome said, he isn’t worth it. I tossed the picture into the roaring fire and watched as its corners curled and began to fold inwards, slowly turning black as the flames devoured it with passion. A sob rocked my body as the tears I had tried for so long to keep in came flooding out. I collapsed to the floor. “Why?” I yelled, “Why would he do this to me?” The only answer I got was the silence of the apartment.
I don’t know how long I lay there for. Seconds became minutes and minutes became hours as I sobbed on the floor of the living room. All I felt was pain, the pain of betrayal, the pain of loss, the pain of heartbreak. Eventually I ran out of tears to cry and I stood up shakily. I grabbed the phone from the cabinet beside me and I slowly entered the number that I knew so well. My finger hovered over the dial button, unsure. “No, I deserve answers” I said as I pressed the button.
“Hello?” I gasped in shock, as the girls voice echoed through my brain.
“Hi is Mitch there?”
“No sorry, he just went out to the supermarket, but I can leave him a message?”
“Who are you?” I asked, but some part of me already knew the answer. “I’m Mitch’s girlfriend Kayli” I stood in shock for a moment before answering “how long have you been dating?”
“Three years. Um, may I ask what were you calling about?” I lowered the phone from my ear and hung up. I stepped backwards and my back collided with the wall, sliding down it I let out a sigh. When I had met Mitch two years ago he was already in a relationship but he still led me on even if he knew he was going to break my heart.
The doorbell snapped me out of my trance and I walked in a slightly zombie like state towards the door. As I passed the bathroom I caught sight of myself in the mirror and grimaced. My ponytail was falling apart, my mascara smudged and I was only dressed in an oversized sweatshirt. I unlocked the door and regarded with shock the familiar figure that stood before me.
“Sarah baby” I stepped back, away from his outstretched arms. “What the fuck are you doing here Mitch?” Mitch sighed, “I want you back babe, I made a mistake but I promise I’ll do better next time” I shook my head. “I’m sick of you lying to me! Get out!” Mitch reached into his pocket and drew out a small box “I got this for you babe.” I scoffed “did your real girlfriend don’t want it?” Mitch looked shocked for a second. “I know all about Kayli, your real girlfriend, so you can fuck off because I don’t EVER want to speak to you again!” He opened his mouth but I slammed the door before he could say anymore of his lies. I went back into the living room and started to go through the scrap book I made when we were still together; I took out every photo of us and threw them into the fire. Burning all the memories of him. The memories of us.
I heard a knock on my door and I opened it, ready to tell him how much I hated him for what he did to me. However It wasn’t Mitch who stood in front of me. “Jerome” I whispered, Jerome smiled at me “hey.” I hugged him as tightly as I could and he wrapped his arms around me. “I should have listened to you, I should never have yelled at you or told you I hated you or ignored you or –“ Jerome cut me off “it’s ok Sarah, I know you didn’t mean it.”
“I thought he was the one.”
“I know you did.”
“I-I-It’s just I never thought that he would hurt me like this.” Jerome lifted my chin, “just remember Sarah, you will always have me. I’m not going anywhere.”
“Thank you Jerome”
“For what?”
“For being my friend, even when I didn’t deserve one.”
“I promise you Sarah I will never abandon you.”
