falling for diego

why?

I wake up and check my phone to see it's barely 5. I get up , careful not to wake Diego and go upstairs. I had some chores i needed to do. I leave my phone downstairs because i didn't need it , and I'm never really on it anyways.

I go to my room and play some music on the t.v. , and clean up the mess i have in there. I hung up the hoodie Diego gave me and threw away the little bit of trash i had lying around. I get the vacuum from my closet and start to vacuum when i hear Diego.

"What is this?" He asks me. Pain in his voice.

I stop the vacuum and look up at him "Que paso baby?"
He just looks at me. Jaw clenched. He took a breath "I said , what is this?" He repeated.

Then i notice he's holding my phone in his hands.

I don't say anything. To be honest I'm just confused. I look closer and see Alex texted me. 'Oh no. This must be why he's upset' i think to myself.

Alex texted me : i love you. I never stopped and i never will.

"Diego this isn't what you think it is." I say hurt that he even thinks i would cheat on him with my ex.

"THEN WHAT IS IT? PLEASE TELL ME!" he says raising his voice.

"Please stop." I say my eyes tearing up.

"Why?" He asks me.

"Why would you do this?"

"Diego i didn't even know i still had his number. Please you have to trust me. I never did anything. Why would i cheat on you?" I say tears streaming down my face.

He sighs and says "i gotta go." He doesn't even stay long enough to get his bags. He just leaves.

I stand there for a few seconds and then go to my bed. I don't even bother getting my phone. I just cry and cry. Until i decide i NEED to text him.

(Me in italics. him in bold)

Me: Diego please. I didn't cheat. I didn't even know he messaged me. I would never hurt you. You have to believe me. I love you.

Diego: Faith. I need some space. I don't think you did but i don't know. I just need time to think.

After reading his message i cry some more. I get his hoodie from my closet and put it on. It still smells like him. I cry until i fall asleep.

The next morning :

I get up and get clothes to take a shower. I walk into the restroom and put my clothes down. I look into the mirror and see my eyes are puffy and red from crying.

After i turn off the water and wrap myself up in my towel my phone rings. I get it and see it's Diego. I answer it.

"Faith..."
