Broken Hearted

~Senior Year~
Lena has made it to her senior year and MIT and she is about to graduate in two weeks. Lena and Erik are still together three years later and going strong.

Erik loved Lena unconditionally as they were married already. Lena was so excited she was finally graduating. All her hard work paid off and Erik encouraging her through the years when she felt like she was going to fail. All things were going good until she received some disturbing news from Erik.

He took her out to a park near the campus that day and walked around.
"So Erik what you were going to tell me that was important?"

Erik stops walking and looks at Lena holding both of her hands.
"You know I love you right?"
"Yes I know you love me"
"Well..after we graduate, I'm going into the military"
"For what Erik?"
"I just want to Lena okay!"
"You know how dangerous it is now to go into the military.. you can get killed!"
"I know that Lena..I know.. I want to go and you can't stop me"
"Seriously Erik!"
"I want to do this for me baby..when I come back, I'm coming back for you and I'm gonna marry you"
"So how long would that be..I thought you would never leave me!"
"I don't know Lena damn!.. this was hard for me to decide"

Lena starts crying and Erik wipes her tears off her face.
"I want us to be together even when I'm away"
"How can that work Erik! Huh!"
"Call, letters something!"
"Erik I don't know what to say right now how selfish can you be right now.. making a decision like that I can't believe you!"

"Lena I'm sorry I'm still going whether you are with me or not!"
"You know what Erik screw you.. it's over!!"
Lena tried to walk away and Erik grabs her by the arm and spins her around
"You are not leaving me Lena! I'm asking fir you to wait for me when I get back!"
"No I am not Erik..let me go!!"
"No Lena! I love you!"
"You don't love me Erik.. we are through now let me go if you know what's good for ya"

Erik still has a grip on her and suddenly she slaps him in the face with her other hand and walks away from him yelling
"I hate you!" while crying back to her dorm room.

Michelle is in the room studying and Lena busts right in the room crying hysterically
"Girl what's wrong?"
"I broke up with Erik..he's going into the military after graduation..I thought he would never leave me Chelle"

"I'm sorry to tell you Lena you might have overreacted..I'm saying that because you are my best friend and I'll tell you the truth.. call him and apologize..he loves you Lena..he was thinking about his future for himself and you too"

"No Chelle I got so mad I slapped him and he didn't chase me after that"
"Why did you do that?"
"I was so angry that he was leaving me and he was being selfish"
"Lena that is a good man..he is giving you space right now because you are mad.. call him now!!

Lena picks up her phone and calls Erik.. it goes straight to voicemail and she leaves a message
"Hey Erik call me when you can I'm sorry for what I said please call me back"

Lena called over five times that day and goes straight to voicemail. When she went to class, Erik was not there and she asked around if anyone seen him even his roommate and he hasn't seen him. Lena thought in her mind
"I messed up"
