(Mike)
I sat on my bed and cried. I sat there and sobbed loudly, thankfully no one was home, so, I could cry as loud as I wanted. I wish everything was how I dreamed about. Having a family, that was something I wanted, but, Katie lied to me.

"Mikey, we need to talk." She said, I looked at her. "Yes?" I said, she took a deep breath. "Babe?" I asked and she sat down. "Okay, I don't know how to put this, so, I'm going to lay it out on the table. Right here and now," she said, I looked at her and nodded. "Spit it out." I said. Anxiety running through my veins. "I'm breaking up with you!" She spit out and stood up. "W-What?" I asked, she nodded. "Mikey, I-I'm sorry. I really am." "You're not!" I said loudly and sat down, I put my head in my hands. "I am, baby." She said and put her hand on my knee.

"Really? What's your reason, Katie?!" I asked and I froze. "You found someone new, d-didn't you?" I asked, that was my biggest fear. I was scared that I wasn't good enough for her. Clearly, I'm not. "Baby! No! I-I just need some space. I think it's for the best. You didn't do anything wrong. I promise you that on my life." She said, she paused and looked like she was going to say something else, I shook my head. "I'll go get my things and I'll leave." I said and she shook her head. "You don't have to go now, we can still talk about it." She said and I shook my head.

"No, I wanna go." I said and I went upstairs and went into her room, I slammed the door closed and I grabbed my old beat up suitcase and I shoved all my clothes in the case. I can't believed she dumped me. I sat on her bed and looked at the door, I shook my head and I stood up and paced the room. I picked up all my clothes that I could find on the floor and put them in the suitcase, I grabbed my shoes and put them in there, too. I zipped the suit case up and laid back. I started to think about all the good times I had with her, with the love of my life. I wiped the tears away and sighed. I should've known that this was coming, right? I texted Vic and asked him to pick me up, since my car is gone. I sighed. I feel so bad, I don't know why I feel bad, but I do.

"Baby?" "No! Please stop calling me that! Please..." I begged, she sighed and she walked off. I felt my phone buzzed and I looked at it and he sent me a simple "okay." I was so thankful for him. I stood up and pulled my suitcase off her bed and I opened the door and went into the kitchen, where she was. I looked at her and she was crying softly. "Katie, don't cr-" "Don't. Just please leave. I'm so, so sorry." She said and I nodded. "Your wish is my command." I muttered and I walked over to her and grabbed her by the waist and gave her one last kiss, I pulled away and she looked up at me. "I love you and I always will." I said and she nodded. "Promise me that you'll make good decisions," she laughed. "But, seriously Mikey, please don't do anything dumb or anything that you'll regret." She said.

"Doesn't that fall in the same category?" I asked, she rolled her eyes and held back a laugh. "Just go." She said, I nodded and I walked out of the kitchen and went to the front door and opened it, I sat mu bag out first. Before I walked out I walked out, I heard her call for me. "Mikey!" "Yes?" "I'll always love you too. I won't forget you, ever." Katie said and I looked down and nodded. I walked out and waited for Vic. He pulled up in his old, beat up, black Mustang. He popped the trunk and I tossed my bad in it and slammed the trunk closed and I got into his car. Vic looked at me. "Care to explain?" He asked and I looked at him. "She broke up with me." I said and he gasped. I nodded and grabbed my phone. "I'm sorry." He said and I looked out the window, just one more glance. The last glance that I'll ever get.

That was the last time I ever saw her or that house again...

I quickly sat up and grabbed my keys and I pulled my shoes on, I ran downstairs and I ran outside to my car and hopped in. I drove to her old house and once I pulled up, I saw that there was no house there anymore. My heart dropped, I bit my lip and I shook my head. "Why, why, why, why, why!" I yelled and hit my steering wheel. "Fuck!" I said, I drove off to another place that Katie and I went to. I went to an old diner that was on the other side of town, I drove around until I found it. I parked and I saw a sign that had 'out of business' written in big, red, bold lettering. I stepped out of the car and I walked to the front door and I peered inside. It looked the same way it did before it closed, I sighed heavily and leaned against the door.

I thought back to all the good times I had here with her, it was one of the best memories was here, with her. We'd sit here with some of our friends and do stupid shit, talk about dumb shit, we'd sneak out and come here, too. We only hated it when a group of kids would show up here and harass us. I laughed at how immature they were, but, one of them was my good friends and I couldn't hate him, even if he shot me in the foot. I put my back against the door and closed my eyes, I took a deep breath and shook my head.

"The infamous Mike Fuentes. I wonder when you'd show your face around here again."
