Why does it always come to this?

"Will." I leaned on his shoulder and held his hand.

We're in his room, watching The Chronicles of Riddick. We watch movies all the time together, it's like tradition.

"Yes?" he asks. I furrow my eyebrows; No "baby." He always calls me his baby.

"You okay?" I ask immediately, forgetting what I was going to say before.

After a pause, he sighs. "Nico, we need to talk."

He let's go of my hand, and gently moves me so we're facing each other on his mattress.

"What is it?" I ask, reaching out to touch his cheek. He grabs my hand.

I look at it, hurt of course, but more confused than ever.

"Nico, I don't think it's going to work." he says, sadness in his eyes.

"What?" I ask. "What won't work?"

"Us." he explains. Us. But no, why would he say that? He can't be breaking up with me, can he? We've been so happy together.

My eyes begin to water and I'm trying with all my will not to cry. "What do you mean, Will?"

"Look, Nico," a tear slips down his face--Please don't cry, Will. "I can't do this anymore. We're over. I'm sorry."

We're over.

We're over.

I wipe my eyes and straighten my posture. I try to show as little emotion as possible.

"Well, it always ends like this, doesn't it?" I spit. I jump up quickly and turn around sharply, and leave his house. Doesn't it?
