"Even?" he was quiet and his voice was breaking. I tried to make my voice sound firm as I let out words I knew I'd live to regret, "I think we should break up."
Isak stood up. I looked at him, his face looked confused and shocked, not worried or sad, like I was making a joke. "Even what?" he yelled. I didn't say anything. Isak chuckled and sat back down, "Even whatever this little thing is I'm sure we can overcome it. I mean I love you. I can't live without you and you can't live without me. Simple as that." Isak nodded and smiled. "I'm breaking up with you." My words were the reason for his smile's disappearance. His voice was shaking, "But- But Even why? What's going on? We can work it o-" I didn't want to hear it. "No Isak. We can't work it out. I will always love you but I'm ruining your life. I'm just a younger, male version of your mom." I looked at him. He started crying. He stood up, and I did too. We were just staring at each other. I dried one of his tears and he held my hand. I slipped my hand out of his. I didn't want to make this sadder than it already was. I loved him. I loved him. He tilted his head to the side with shock. "Even why?" he was yelling really loudly. "Because I'm holding you back from life. I'm dragging you down to my sad, no-good life. You deserve better. You really do." I said staring into his eyes. "Even, I don't want anyone else!" he was sobbing. That made me cry. "But Isak, you deserve better. Please- I know you think I'm the perfect boyfriend and that I'm always going to be like that, but do you not realise what happened? You only found out about my psycho cousin a day ago. We've been in a relationship for a few months now. There's so much we don't know about each other. We had a good run, but it was all the honeymoon phase. That's over." I was crying just as much as him now, "and so are we.." He tried to hug me put I pushed him away. I wiped my tears. "I'm going to go out. Please be gone when I'm back." I said stone cold. I headed for the mall.
