"Oh c'mon Jet. I thought you already moved on? Diba okay ka na? You f-cking showed me—everyone that you're happy with him. That you're deeply in-love with that guy. Diba?! Then what are all these bullshits?"
"I do. God knows I do." I said through gritted teeth. I was still holding my almost finished champagne bottle so hard, my knuckles turned white. My head hurts and my vision is blurry from all the crying and the drinking.
What I said is true. I love Third—so much, that I would do anything for him. That is one thing for sure. But right now I just can't think straight. So much has happened these past few days and I need an escape. I want all of these to end. To finally be over.
He snorts, "Yeah right. Then why are you acting stupid—no, insane! If you really love him then why are you being such a mess?!" He's practically spitting those words while looking at me with pity and unfamiliarity. Like he's seeing a whole different person. An unfamiliar mess.
"Because you're here! Because it still f-cking hurts, Pierre! Because ever since you came back, all I could think about is how broken I was when you left. I love him but you being here brings back all the pain" The last sentence barely came out as a whisper. I can't hold it in anymore. After hearing what I said, he froze. Eyes wide and mouth hanging half open.
No, I don't love Pierre anymore. That feeling is all gone. Long forgotten. It was a long agonizing process and I got through all of it. But the fact that he shattered me into a million pieces will stay with me forever. Third tried to save me, he tried so hard but It's impossible.
Because no one can save anyone from their memories.
