two birds, one stone

"thank you very much." i smiled politely at the young bearded man about my age that held the door for me. he nodded his head and gave me a smile of his own. "don't mention it."

i smiled as i held the flowers i had gotten camila close to my chest, feeling the loud and unsteady heartbeat i had started to have. i slowly walked towards the gate i knew camila's flight was landing from.

my foot tapped impatiently as i awaited her arrival. that's when my phone indicated i got a text from her.

hey baby. might come home late, my flight is delayed. :(

my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. her flight was clearly on time. a small pang of hurt fell into my heart as i tried not to suspect anything. she might have gotten confused. i thought.

i decided to call her. after a few rings she still didn't pick up. i felt my heart drop deeper and deeper towards the pit of my stomach. my jaw clenched as i typed a text to her.

well good news. your flight isn't delayed. im here in the airport waiting for you amor. xx

i typed. the wait for that text to come through was the longest ive ever waited for anything. my grip on my phone tightened out of uncertainty when she didn't reply.

then people started to pop out from the terminal. what was she hiding? i thought. when her face stood out from the crown i knew something was wrong. a taste of suspicion flew over her facial features as some guy rushed towards her and spun her around.

emotions rushed through my body at that moment. i didn't know, more like i could not feel myself sprinting over to them, but i was. camila's terrified face was the only thing i could see. but the scruffy beard on that guy's neck was so familiar, that it hit me like a truck the realization that i had run into camila's secret lover a few minutes before.

the tears welled up in my eyes but i didn't dare let them stream down my face. i shoved the flowers into the guys chest. "these have more value to you than they do to me." i spat angrily.

i turned my heels away from the pair and tried to rush out of the airport and never look back, but camila clung onto me. "y/n wait please! i can explain." she begged. i didn't want her begging. i wanted her to love me. but she didn't.

i snatched myself away from her and faced her probably for the last time.

"you won't explain nothing camila. you won. you did it. you managed to hit two birds with one stone and at least you killed me, try not to do the same with him."

after that sentence piled out of my mouth like a jumble a words, i ran out of the airport. millions of rocks was what i felt on top of me. i guess it just took one to instantly killed me.
