Katana's Revenge

How Could You?

Song: Hurts like Hell By Fleurie

A week turned into another week. I barely even say hi to Raine anymore. I tried texting him several times but he doesn't reply back. I don't get it, something has to be wrong. I wanted us to think about things, about our relationship but I never meant for him to just disappear like this. I throw on a pair of jeans on and a t-shirt with my converses and head out the door.

 A few blocks later I am knocking on Chase's door. He comes to the door half dressed. "What do you want?" he says rudely.

"I'm looking for Raine; is he here?"

"Hell if I know come on in." He opens the door for me to enter and I look around the small living room area. The house is trashed like they had a kick ass party last night. I watch as he walks to one of the back rooms and then comes back. "Hold on he will be right out."

I debate on if I want to sit on the edge of the couch or just stand, I choose to stand. I am looking around at all the crap everywhere, beer bottles, left over joints in the ash trays, etc. I hear shuffling in the back and voices.

When he walks into the room I turn to look at him. Of course he has a hangover. Guess he is not doing any better. "Hey...Ana...baby....what are you doing here?"

"I was getting worried about you? You stopped texting me; is everything ok?"

He smirks, "Like you really care. Why are you here?"

"I was worried about you. What is going on; I thought you were getting cleaned out?"

"I am!" he laughed it off.

I look around the room. "Are you, because it doesn't look like it?" I see a girl walk down the hallway towards another room, I assume the bathroom. I look back over at him and he has that look on his face and I know in that moment that she was with him. "I shouldn't have came here. I'm sorry; I should go."

"Ana...it's not what you think, she's no one."

"Really," I huff. "This whole time you accuse me of sleeping with someone when you are doing it."

"I'm not sleeping with her."

"No just fucking her....right," I raise my voice hoping that she heard me.

He doesn't say anything so I know I'm right. He tries coming up closer to me and I shove him hard. "You fucking prick, seriously how could you do this."

"Ana...it...just kinda happened...I'm a man...what the hell do you expect from me. It's been two weeks and you gave up on me."

"I did not give up on you. You gave up on me remember, you left."

"You wanted me to go," he yells at me.

 Chase comes back into the room. "Damn...you two keep it down...shit."

My eyes swell up with tears. "No problem, I'm leaving anyway."

 As I am leaving he walks up behind me and grabs my arm pulling me into him. "Raine...let go of me." I look down at him holding my arm. I'm scared to look up into his eyes because I am afraid of what I might see.

"Look at me Ana, dammit just tell me what you want from me?"

I look up and his eyes are glassed over with tears as well. "I don't know what I want. I thought you were getting better. I thought we were going to work all this out between us. I never thought you would find someone else." My bottom lip trembles.

"And you didn't; Ana don't play the blame card all on me. What about that prick, your so called boss. I know he came to the apartment and he stayed awhile. Tell me you're not sleeping with him?"
