"I love you."
"No," he whispers and confusion skates all over my face. "That's a lie,"
"Sebas, baby," I called out his name desperately. "I love you. Only you... nobody else."
"But your eyes, they say something else. Even your skin, your words, your fake smiles say a lot." My heart drops. "I know that you love me but I love you more than you love me. You love Ty " I blink. "I don't-"
"Don't deny it. If you're happier with him, you need to stay with him and not me." I remained still.
"Go." Dropping my hands that were around his neck, I look down, shutting my eyes trying to suppress my tears. "I'm sorry." I choke out. My nose burns and I know that the tears are ready to come out. "It- it wasn't my intention. I- I didn't plan for any of this. Sebastian I'm sorry. You know I love you and I will always-"
"Leave." My heart shattered. "Please forgive me." I whisper. My hands that covered with my tears just a second ago- were clasped together as I apologize. "Don't make this any harder Cassie."
Cassie.
He was still calling me Cassie.
"Sebastian how can I not make this harder? I know you hate me right now because I'm the woman that you wanted to spend forever with. I know you'll never-"
"I forgive you." I freeze once again. "I could never hate you." He says looking into my eyes for the first time this entire time. "It would've been nice if you had told me, you know? But I understand that you couldn't even hide it every time you came home with a smile I didn't put on your face."
I was a fool.
I was an idiot. I was hurt that I hurt the only man who loved me the way he did.
How could I hurt him this way?
"But I need you to go."
"I need to learn how to live without you. I don't think I can ever withstand seeing you every day with him, and he has you wrapped around his arm- I can't. I can never forget you, never. But I'll try with ever fiber of my being to get over you." Every word was just piercing into my heart and there was nothing I could do.
I could've before but now was too late.
"Okay," I swallowed backing away.
I love you Sebastian.
I'm sorry.
"I'll be leaving." But I felt as if I was making a mistake. A huge one. But I don't know what else was there to do. I grab my clutch slowly and begin walking my way towards the door. And with every step I'm taking, it feels even more painful. It's as if I can feel him calling me...
but that was all in my head.
Should I say something? Say something Cassie! Cassiopeia come on!
My heart began racing and I was left with nothing else to do. My head was blank, I didn't know if he'd want to listen to anything I'd have to say.
And he didn't say anything either.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
I felt a sharp pain in my heart as I inhaled sharply with my right hand on the door knob. I slowly twist it but don't open it.
Say something.
Anything.
But nothing once again. "I love you. Always and forever," I say softly before shutting the door closed.
I ran.
I found myself running to God knows where and ended up collapsing on the floor. I bury my body in the nearest corner and silently cry.
I was in pain.
"C- ?"
I whipped my head into the direction of where I heard a voice and there stood a familiar figure. "Tyrone?" my brows furrow.
"W-what happened to you?" I don't answer but just stare into space. "Tyrone I-"
I couldn't say it.
It didn't feel right. I've said these words to him before but what now? Why couldn't I say them? I exhaled. "Tyrone- I love you." I finally say.
Silence falls.
"Excuse me?"
"I love you, stupid." I repeat feeling heavier as time goes. "I'm sorry." He says and everything stops.
I must've misheard him. "You're kidding right?"
"No I- Cassie. You love Sebastian right? You don't know what you're saying because we can't be anything,"
Everything just was fuzzy.
I- I had lost someone who would've been my forever, for someone who didn't even love me even the slightest bit.
I guess karma was a bitch.
And it hit me where it would hurt the most.
