Her World, My world – Chapter 1: The break up?

Huh?

Did I hear her right?

Is she out of her mind???

“I said, I'm breaking up with you.” My girlfriend had said, her face didn't show any sympathy towards my feelings about this sudden announcement from her. She just.. sat on the other side of the table, looking at me, blurting out those words as if they were nothing. On the other side, I was frozen, shocked. What had gone wrong that made her want to break up with me? Perhaps I did something that I didn't notice? What was the reason? My heartbeat was accelerating with each passing minute.

“Why?” Was all I could ever respond to those words. My heart had dropped to my stomach, it was too much to comprehend.

Harley, she had been my girlfriend since highschool. Yeah, we were highschool sweethearts. We're in college now, I'm in 2nd year, she's in 3rd. I had to stop for a year due to financial problems.

Now, she wants to end it?

“I don't have feelings for you anymore. None other than that, my feelings are starting to grow on someone else.” Harley had responded in a cold tone, her arms were crossed, she was keeping this professional as if we were in some kind of meeting.

“What? Are you insane?” My eyebrows had furrowed, the sadness had been replaced by anger, my fists were clenching. I couldn't make a scene, we were in public; it'd be embarrassing. “Have you lost your mind?” I added in the end, my breath getting heavy.

“Maybe, maybe I haven't. Distance was never my thing, Micheal. You need to understand that college, and long distance is a tough nut to crack.” She sighed deeply, rubbing her forehead with her fingers.

“For pete's sake! I could drive to you, you're only 3 hours away! This distance is nothing, harley.” I wanted to say more, but she had cut me off.

“Like I said, I'm done with you.” Harley repeated once more, afterwards, she got up, grabbing her purse. Before she walked away, she looked at me one more time, “Goodbye, Micheal.”

She walked away, leaving me with countless thoughts and questions.. I had a blank stare, with my head down as I was silent. I couldn't comprehend properly.

Did those years mean nothing to her at all?

I had come home, dropping my jacket on the floor. I lived in an apartment that I was sharing with two of my friends, rhoe and Jackoll. I made my way up to my bedroom, flopping on my bed. I felt hopeless, I placed my hand on my face, feeling my tears.

Huh..? When did I start crying..?

I didn't even notice I was crying till I rubbed my face with my hand. I stared at my hand for quite some time, thinking about everything. That's when I had finally cried, alone.

Yes, alone. Always alone.

Maybe soon enough, there'd be someone out there for me.

Soon enough, from exhaustion, I had fallen asleep. My eyes felt sore, my body felt cold; How I wish someone would hold me close. I was in deep sleep, hoping this would take me away from reality already.

Just take me away.

Please..

This is unfair.

End my misery.
