Old Friends

Alone

Tia's POV
I've just wanted to be alone all week. Anna keeps asking me what is going on I just tell her I really haven't been feeling well. Kay has called me a few times after I told her Chris broke up with me. I haven't been answering because I am not ready to talk about it. Of course Trevor is texting and calling. He is the last person I want to talk to right now. He is partly the reason I am in this. I can't fully blame him because I played my part as well and I allowed it to go on.

I'm sitting at my desk and I pull my phone out looking at my call log and messages. I click on Chris's name and I try to call but it doesn't even go through. He blocked me. I just sit there and I want to cry. I go on social media to find I am blocked there as well. Wow he really is done. Maybe I should go to his condo. I know he will have to be home at some point. I just need to see him and talk to him. I need him to know I am truly sorry and never meant for any of this to happen.

After work I hop in my car and I just drive and I end up at Chris's condo his car is there so he's home. I sat in his drive way for about 15 minutes before deciding to get out. I go ring his bell. He answers looking real pissed off. He asks why am I here. I say lowly to apologize face to face. He stands there as if he's waiting for me to apologize. I say I am really sorry Chris. I never meant for any of this to happen. It was a mistake and I never meant to hurt you. I pray you can forgive me. He looks at me as if he doesn't believe a word I am saying. I stand there waiting for him to say something. He's looking me in my eyes and I feel like he's looking deeply into my soul. Then he moves toward me.

Chris's POV
Tia is at my door apologizing once she's done I look at her then move closer and say I don't care how sorry you are I am done with you. You cheated on me. I don't even know how many times but I assume you been sneaking around with him since the party. I can't trust you and I don't want you. She starts to cry and I just step back and start to close my door. She stops the door and then asks if I still love her. I just look at her because as much as she has hurt me I still do. My feelings can't just disappear like that. We've been together for 2 years and I really love her but I look at her and say no. I can tell that hurt her. I really don't care she needs to feel how I feel. I go to close the door and this time she doesn't stop me. Part of me feels bad because I don't like to see her cry but she did me dirty.

Tia's POV
I guess that is it. He just told me he doesn't love me. That is it. Chris and I are officially done. I get back in my car wiping my tears before I pull off. I get home and go right to the shower and just let it all out. As the warm water runs down my body I break down. After I get out I get myself together. I get in bed and fall asleep.

A few days pass and it's the weekend. I have nothing to do and I still haven't called or texted Kay or Trevor. I still haven't been in the mood to talk or go out or anything. I'm laying on my couch and my bell rings. I know it's either Kay or Trevor. I don't know which one but I don't feel like seeing either. I get up to check. I open the door and Kay is there with ice cream and wine. I just let her in. She asks me why haven't I returned any of her calls or responded to her texts. I shrug. She says I'll pour us some wine. She goes to get the glasses and she grabs 2 spoons as well. She comes over and she asks how have I been feeling since the break up. I shrug. She pulls me in for a hug. I start crying. She rubs my back and says it'll be okay. I cry for about 15 minutes then I get myself together and I chug that whole glass of wine. Kay just says woah, okay. She says you'll get through this and that it might be for the best because I was with Trevor and was starting to not feel Chris anyway. I just say yea.

Kay and I spend the rest of the afternoon talking about relationships and joking around about other things. I'm glad she came over I had a few good laughs which I needed. Kay always knows how to cheer me up too. I'm so thankful to have her as a friend. We end up ordering some food, watch a few movies, and finish that bottle of wine. I let her stay over because I don't want her driving drunk and I could use the company. I go lay down in my bed and this girl follows. She says she's not sleeping on my couch I tell her I have a couch bed in the other room and she just laughs. She says she's not sleeping on that either. She says she wants to lay in the bed. I just say whatever. I go in the bathroom to do a few hygiene things and my phone rings, it's Trevor. I know I'm in a better mood because I actually answer the call. I say hey wassup. He says wow look who can answer my call. I laugh. He asks why have I been ignoring him. I say I've been thinking and I needed space. He says oh well no more space. I laugh again and tell him he's not the boss of me. He says whatever then asks if he can come over. I tell him no because Kay is over. He says oh well I'm coming over tomorrow. I say whatever. He says okay I been missing you a whole lot. I say yea. He asks me if I've missed him. I am silent for a minute then say yea I have. He says I know you did but we'll be together tomorrow and no more space. I say okay. I tell him I'm about to go to sleep. He says goodnight and I love you. I don't say anything because the break up is still fresh and hearing him say that just reminded me of Chris. I say goodnight I'll talk to you later. He says dang no I love you back. I just laugh. He says oh I see how it is. I say whatever goodnight and I hang up. I finish in the bathroom and get in bed. Kay is knocked out and not long after I am too.
