Skye

"What?"

"Let's just be friends."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to be the reason why you and Jacob get a divorce. I don't want that for you, because I don't want Jacob to mark you as a cheater. I know that it might sound stupid but it's hard to explain."

"friends."

"Friends."

"Okay."

"I know you still love him even after what he did."

"Mar-"

"Skye please, it's hard to let this go so let's just rest on this and if you want we can talk more about it later."

"Okay."

"Good night Skye."

"Night."

He then crawls off me and kisses my forehead. I slip under the covers and dig my face into the pillow.

When he said friends, I felt my heart break a little. I never felt that kind of heartache before.

It was around 4 in the morning when I realized that I couldn't sleep. Mark and his words broke me and it pained me to think of it. It was all I was thinking of.

I got out of bed and threw on a hoodie and different jeans. I slipped into any pair of shoes I had and left. I went downstairs and left the hotel. Once I got into my car I started it and drove to anywhere.

I drove and drove for barley 20 minutes and I knew that I was lost in a deep void in my mind. I didn't know where I was going all I knew was that maybe I would stop at some point.

"Get over yourself Skye." I said to myself as I pulled over into a parking lot.

I turn off the car and throw my head into my hands, trying to at least get some sleep. Nothing was working I just kept on thinking of him and his face. Just of him and how I felt when he told me to just be friends. It's not like I'm in love with him, neither of us are in love with each other but that doesn't mean that I didn't have feelings.

"C'mon Skye you can get over this. This was nothing, it doesn't mean anything. You can get over this." I say as I wipe some tears away.

"I miss him, no you don't. You already have a fiancé, you have a great life."

I lied to myself.

I started the car again and the tears came in harder, my breath was literally going away, my heart felt broken in half, my mind was lost and my whole body was numb.

I didn't know how to cope with this. I just kept driving around.

A way for me to be distracted was by looking at the city, for a little it worked but then I saw a couple kissing near an old building, it just bought back certain memories.

It was around 7 in the morning and I decided that maybe I should go back to the hotel. I took my time, I didn't really want Mark to see me in tears if he was awake.

I park the car in front and slowly walk in. As I walk in the lights were still bright but a gold lighting was the color, I walk by a mirror and look at myself to see if my eyes are puffy. Just red.

I continue up to my room and still take my time, hopefully Mark isn't up. When I finally make to it my room I open the door and see that Mark was still asleep. Thank god.
