Only a fool

I cheated on him, I did.

His name was Joseph Birlem, and I cheated twice on him. Once, with his best friend. The second time was with someone he didn't know.

I don't know why, but I hated him. I hated Joey so, so much, I don't even know why I dated him. He's stupid and ugly, and I absolutely, 100% hated his guts.

He's also annoying as well. One day a few months ago, when we were at the bus stop, I went up to him. Obviously, I still was in a mood towards him, and he was being annoying.

"Joey, can we talk?" I snap, already having enough of him.

He walked with me a few metres away from our friends. 

"I'm going to put this to you in the nicest way possible," I say to him.

He nods, as I continue, "I don't ever want to see you again."

He looks hurt, but I walk away to my other friends and never speak to him again.

Until last week, a few months after my breakup with him.

In the first week of not having him in my life, I feel sad. Depressed. Alone.

I missed Joey.

I refused to believe it. We always argued and I did horrible things to him. But I miss everything about him, the good parts about him.

I then realised I had a change of heart for Joey Birlem.

For two months, I watched him, praying that he'd notice me. But he never did.

I realised that I loved Joseph Birlem.

So I went back to him.

"Joey," I say. He looks to me and sighs.

"What do you want?" he asks sadly. I can see he's still hurt.

"Give me one more chance. I cheated on you, lied to you, and broke up with you in the worst way possible. But Joey, I love you and I need you. I promise I will never hurt you again," I say. I feel the pain in my voice.

But Joey looks at me with no emotion, and says sadly, yet harshly, "Only a fool would take back someone who hurt them so much."

I feel hopeless and I begin to cry. He's gone. Slipped out of my life.

But suddenly, I feel arms wrap around me, and hold me tightly.

I hear Joey's voice whisper in my ear.

"And I am one of those fools."
