"It's not about who kissed who, Colby! The universe doesn't want us to be together." Cami began crying as she shouted into the open street. Colby stared back at her with tears welling in his blue eyes.
"But Cami, I love you." His voice was quiet bu...

The End
I felt as though all of the air had been ripped from my lungs. "Cami, please." Colby begs brokenly from behind me. For the past five minutes, which have felt like an eternity, I hadn't moved. Feelings I swore I would never allow myself to feel again were flooding through me like a tsunami and all I wanted to do was run until I couldn't run anymore, but my legs wouldn't move. I was frozen. Colby tugged softly at my arm until I was facing him, though I couldn't bring myself to look up from his chest. I could feel his eyes on me while mine were welling with tears.
"We're done." I whisper, my voice barely audible. A tear slips down my cheek but I don't bother wiping it away. I know more will come soon. Colby breathes in sharply and his hand that was on my arm now falls limply at his side.
"No- no, Cami I can explain, please-" He attempts to say, but I stop him. I knew whatever he told me, I would believe him. Maybe this is a sign. Maybe everything that's happened this past week is a sign.
"Please, don't." I say while trying to sound strong, but my voice breaks. Finally I bring my eyes up to his. Colby's once beautiful, deep blue eyes were now a bright sky blue, bloodshot and filled with tears. My heart feels like its breaking into a million pieces.
"Cami, baby, she kissed me. I swear I didn't even know who it was before I pulled away! I thought it was you!" He exclaims. I know he wants to touch me by the way his hands are twitching at his sides, but he knows better than that. Though, a part of me wishes he would just hold me and we could forget this ever happened to begin with, but we can't; I can't.
"It's not about who kissed who, Colby! The universe doesn't want us to be together." I began crying as I shouted into the open street. Colby stared back at me with tears spilling down his cheeks.
"But Cami, I love you." His voice was quiet but the words sent a punch right to my stomach. I squeezed her eyes shut and held up my hand to him, silencing anything he was preparing to say.
"Don't say that just because you want me to stay, Colby."
"I'm not! Cami, I love you. I have for a long time. Please," He begs. My heart shatters but I don't give in. I don't care who kissed who or what happened, but with everything that's happened I know what I need to do. We may be right for each other, but the timing doesn't add well into the equation- our equation.
"Colby, it's just not our time. I'm sorry." I tell him. Before he can respond, I turn and begin walking down the street away from him. Colby doesn't come after me, and though a part of me wishes he would, I know it's best that he didn't. He knows it as well.
Walking into my quiet apartment was my breaking point. I slid down the door with my head in my hands, sobs wrecking my body. The familiar sound of Maddox's paws against the hardwood filled my ears. He tucked his head under my arms and laid next to me as I cried. I cried until my eyes burned and my throat was dry. Maddox never left my side, and I didn't leave my spot for the rest of the night.
