The rain was falling hard as we stand under a tree in the middle of the night.
"Samantha," He called. The way he said it, the way he looked at me, I know it's something I don't want to hear. But I still plead for it. I want to know.
I did not answer. I did not look at his eyes.
"Hey. I don't want to end this either. But I have to." His voice was raspy, sad. He's never been like this before.
"What?" I firmly said. As the raindrops fall onto the ground, tears also continuously fall from my eyes, unavoidable.
"I love you, you know that. But... " He held my chin so I could look up to him. He's crying too.
"But?" I ask.
"Let's break up." My heart breaks.
"W... W.. What? Why?"I stutter. My head's been full of questions.
But his eyes. His bright blue eyes are now in a storm. Rainy, yet weak.
"I don't want to hurt you. I don't want seeing you in pain. The best option I have... is to let you go."
"I don't get it! You're hurting me now, can't you see?" I cry even harder. I pushed him. I punch his chest. I don't know what I'm feeling. Love. Anger. Sadness. Rage.
"But it's the best for you." Loneliness still over his face.
"No..... Don't tell me this. Nooo.." I fall down to the pavement. I feel like all the water inside me has gone.
He quickly stood me up, his hands strongly holding my arms.
"I know it's hard. Even for me, it is. But promise me, Samantha, you will live happy. Okay?"
"No. I'll never be happy without you. Please. Don't leave me." I begged.
"You have to, Samantha."
"I... I can't." I cry even harder, louder.
"I love you, Samantha. I'm sorry. Good Bye." He kissed me weakly, then he walked away.
There I was. Left alone in a cold, starry night. Angry, sad, left behind, unloved.
