Victor didn’t come to bed that night. He spent the night smoking with Juan. There was so much going on between us I didn’t bother him. I wanted to give him space to think or calm down or whatever he needed to do. I didn’t really sleep well, all I could think about was Victor and how upset he was. Not just about me disappearing but about where I was.

I tried to see things the way he did. He had asked me for something and I ran out to make sure I don’t give that to him. It made me think about the ring he gave me. Victor sees everything so much differently from me. To him I’m someone he wants to be with forever. I can see that now, I would break his heart to leave him.

I think I broke his heart by not wanting to have his baby or at least the way I went about trying not to. I did feel really bad about that, I hadn’t seen how what I was doing would seem to him, I just panicked. I care for him I just can’t get lost in Victor’s world. Me telling him no is what makes me special to him, that would have to apply to now as well.

It’s been two days and Victor won’t really talk to me. I think he is going to ask me to leave; I’m prepared for that, especially tonight. He has been home almost all day and he has stayed in the living room with Juan the whole day watching movies and smoking.

Every time I go to sit in the living room with them he lights up as if to get me to leave the room. I cooked but I made him get his own food tonight. I figured if he doesn’t want anything to do with me than I can play that game too. I have been considering just packing my things and leaving since things are so stressed between us. It’s just a part of me wants to be with him.

After dinner I cleaned up and went right into the bedroom. I don’t think I can take him lighting one more joint just to spite me. It really was hurting my feelings. The last time I almost sat through it to spite him. My stomach just couldn’t take it.

I was in the bed under the covers watching TV when he came into the room. I was not expecting him to at all. He went in the bathroom to take a shower so I figured he was going out tonight to avoid me. I was amazed when he came out the bathroom and climbed under the covers with me to watch TV.

I didn’t say much. I wasn’t sure if we were talking. There was a long awkward moment until he reached over and pulled me into his arms. Once my head was resting on his chest he released a long deep sigh.

“Do you want me to leave Victor?” I asked not able to take it anymore.
