There's a lot of dialogue and probably 100 typo, but pls forgive me. Enjoy!

Rob looked miserable. His shirt was off, he had on his jeans from earlier, and you can faintly see dried tears on his face. He stared at me with blank eyes as we stood in the door way. I inched towards him and he instantly pulled me into a hug and cried. He cried hard into my shoulder and had no strength to let go. I rubbed his back before he pulled away. I wiped his tears and began tearing up myself. We walked into the house and closed the door behind. We both sat on the couch and I turned to face him.

"I'm so sorry Rob."

"It's okay, I know it's not your fault. It's mine, I should have told her."

"Rob no, you had your reasons not to tell her, and I know I've been on you about it, but this isn't your fault. The only people who know about this are your teammates, our families, and our close friends. None of them would tell."

"If none of them told, then how would she know? I mean think about it. After everything we've been through, they all probably hate and want me to feel hurt and lonely."

I sighed. "No one feels that way. I feel like this is something you should ask her instead rather than assuming. But right now you need to focus on yourself to get where you need to be. You have training, and other places your head should be. And I know you love her and all, but you can't keep thinking about this and only making assumptions."

"Syd, literally I can't even think right now. That's how much it hurts. And with her things gone, it makes it feel more real. This is the second time someone has left me and brought all of their things with them. Like am I crazy? What's wrong with me?"

"You need to think about it from her perspective. You're not crazy. Imagine if she had a baby with Tom, you'd see that kid all of the time. And then one day you find out that the mother of the baby isn't Gisele, it's Melaine. You would be hurt too."

"But the thing is... actually, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, of course"

He hesitated. "Why did you leave me?" He asked, with a hopeless look in his eyes.

"What do you mean? You left me."

"Syd, there's something in my life that isn't allowing me to grasp what I need in life. I need you to tell me why you left me. Out of all the nights spent crying and yelling at each other, when I finally moved on, why did you still seem to come back? Why did you want to be with me knowing you couldn't have me, and that someone else had my heart?" He said crying.

"Rob, I... I don't know. You're just so kind and sweet. I dont think we were ever ready for anything we put each other through."

"Well who's ever ready for things? Do you think Mel just kind of knew how you felt and was nervous? Or that I kind of pressured her to love two kids that actually mean so much to me."

"Well did she ever question why you did what you did? Like I don't know. Did she ever ask why you wanted to see them so much?"

"She knew we had history, and I told her that they love me just as much as I love them. I don't know. I kinda don't want to talk about this anymore."

"That's fine, we don't have to."

Robs phone soon rang, and it was a face time call from Melanie. I looked at it and then back at him. He hesitated and then answered.

He cleared his throat. "Hello?"

"I'm not mad, I'm just upset. I should be home in a couple days, I just want some time to think."
