Continuation of Stephan's POV
'' Elena, please listen to me'', I beg her
''Listen to you '', she laughs '' because that's what I always do listen to your shit '', she shouted.
I wanted to shout back but decided upon it.
"l am so sorry baby, I-", l begin to say
"Don't call me baby", she shouts with annoyance.
"Baby", l call her again
"Don't, don't"
She takes her purse and head for the door. I grab her by the wrist which ended me with two slaps. I didn't complain because I deserved it and more.
"Please just sit and let me talk"
"When you left for China I was all alone. Even though we talked during the weekends I was still sad that you weren't here with me. After a while I went back to my old ways;drinking, smoking and the others. To tell you the truth I forgot you were returning yesterday. I hanged out with my friends but I was still incomplete. About Kathy l-"
" Don't mention her name " she says
  " It was a mistake "
She sighs
  " Let's continue. So one day I heard that she was dating Miguel. She normally came to my apartment because l always hanged out with him. I didn't know you knew her. So yesterday l invited her over."
She shakes her head.
" Elena, I'm so sorry"
"Saying sorry doesn't fix this and you know that"
"Elena l-"
   "Enough Stephan. I can't listen anymore. We're done".
   "No. No. No. Please Elena. Give me another chance. I beg you. I can be the man you want. Baby please."
  "I told you to stop calling me that",she yells "And as I said earlier we're done. You can be with whoever you want."
Kathy enters the room. "No. No. Not Now. Please. Not. Now." I try to make eye contact with her.
  "I'm sorry", Kathy tells Elena.
  "You're sorry. Haha'', she laughs
  " Well you must not blame me because you left your boyfriend in this country ".

Elena's POV
" You were my best friend yet you slept with my boyfriend. I hate you Kathy. No, infact I hate the two of you. I hate myself for being foolish", I tell them.

  "I hate you too Elena", she laughs.
I can't tolerate this anymore. I take my purse and quietly leave Stephan's room since they are arguing.
"How could he? How could he? I left everything and came back to him and this is what I get? I should have listened to my parents. I am so foolish and naive", I say to myself once I'm in the elevator. As I unlock my car my name is mentioned. I turn around to a kneeling Stephan.

I turn my gaze and set off. With a broken heart I tell my parents all that happened. Sorry was what they said. I thought they would yell at me saying, "We told you. Everyone told you but you refused to listen." I couldn't sleep at all. The thought of being betrayed was so unbearable. I cried all night.
