“Tell me you are joking, you can’t be serious.” George’s words of despair echoed in my head. I just told him that I was breaking up with him because of his drinking.

The tears were falling down my cheeks quickly. I did care about him, but I had to follow my heart, didn’t I? I couldn’t even look him in the eyes.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a box.

A box that I knew was holding an engagement ring for me.

“I was going to give you this tonight at dinner,” he softly said as tears were building in his eyes as well.

“I am so sorry. I know you don’t believe me and I don’t blame you one bit,” I barely managed to say.

“This has to do with Danny, doesn’t it? You want me to believe it is my drinking but I don’t believe you!” His voice was filled with anger.

“It does have to do with your drinking! Why did you have to get so drunk the other night? If you were so happy about us getting engaged why couldn’t you have shared that happiness with me, instead of with a bottle?” I just couldn’t let him know that it was Danny, and I really wasn’t lying, in a way.

“Just leave. I don’t want to see you right now!” he yelled.

I walked away in tears. As much as I wanted to get back with Danny, I felt really bad about the pain I just caused someone who truly loved me and wanted to marry me. I told Danny that I couldn’t see him that night; I needed time to myself. I had a lump in my throat that wouldn’t go away. I knew I did what I needed to do, but that didn’t make it any easier.

I told Danny that I had to see George one last time. I kept seeing his face standing there with the ring box in his hand, and I knew I needed to try to talk to him one last time.

A few days later, I went to see George. I wanted to make sure that he was okay and tried to explain it better. I thought if I gave him some time we could talk better. I spent all of the previous night going over in my head what to say. I just didn’t want it to end the way it did.

I walked up to the door and rang the bell. I didn’t tell him I would be there. I tried to call him on the phone a few times the previous week, but got no answer.

His brother opened the door and a look of hate filled his face. He just stood there glaring at me.

“Is George here?” I softly asked. I was really scared by the look on his face and my hands began to tremble.

“He didn’t tell you? He sold your ring, bought a car, and left. He moved out of New York because of you!” With that, he slammed the door in my face.
