Katie and I had been spending more and more time together. Every night this week she had spent the night at my flat and then come back over after work. It was fun but we both kinda knew it would never last. However, I was in no rush for this relationship to end. Or so I thought.
I went over to Adele's house to pick Angelo up and when I got there I found her sitting on the sofa crying. 'Del? What's wrong?' I asked, walking closer to her. 'I don't wanna talk about it.' She said wiping her eyes and trying to fake a smile. 'You can tell me. We're best friends, remember.' I said trying to calm her down. She gave me a questionable look, 'but we're not together anymore.' She said confused. I sat next to her and wrapped my arm around her shoulder pulling her closer to my chest. 'You're the mother of my son. My best life was with you. Of course you're still my best friend. Now tell me what's got you so upset.' Adele took a deep breath, 'I ended it with Nick because he's not you. He's not the one I love. Nobody will ever compare to you and letting you go was my worst mistake.'
My heart was shattered into pieces hearing how she felt. She buried her head deeper in my chest and started sobbing uncontrollably. 'I'm so, so sorry.' Adele said as she tried to catch her breath. I didn't know what to say. 'Even after I completely destroyed our family, you stayed loyal. You've always been loyal to me and I took it for granted.' I didn't know how to respond.
It had been three months since we've separated and this whole time she thinks I've been on my own. I guess that one time she smelt perfume on me she laughed it off. My heart belonged to Adele but I still had Katie to think about. We stayed on the sofa for awhile until I heard Angelo on the monitor. 'I'll get him.' I said. As I walked upstairs to Angelo's room, I texted Katie and said I wouldn't be home and I would just see her tomorrow. Little did she know it would probably be the end of her and I.
