So, that’s what this feeling is. It’s my heart breaking all over again. She’s fuckin’ leaving me. I tell her I love her, and I’m fighting for her no matter how hard I know our relationship will be, and she’s leaving after next Sunday’s home opener. She has to feel something; she wouldn’t have just given up her most prized possession to me if she didn’t. Something’s not right in all of this. I don’t even realize I’m on my knees in front of her. Standing, I search her eyes for any sign that she’s not really leaving me. There’s nothing there to tell me otherwise.

Pacing in front of her now, not knowing what words to say, I catch a glimpse of her grabbing for her underwear on the floor. She’s quickly putting them on, nearly toppling over as she frantically throws her legs into her thong. She makes it across my room to grab her folded clothes off the dresser. Where the hell does she think she’s going? I just confessed I love her, and she’s seriously going to leave me, right here and now. She couldn’t even respond to my question. No, I just got the words “I’m leaving.” Why wait until after my game next week if she doesn’t feel what I feel for her? Shaking my head as I pull at my hair, I know I need answers. This is ridiculous, and none of it makes sense.

Finding my voice again as she’s standing in the doorway with her back to me, I ask, “Tell me something, Emily. Was it worth it? Was it worth giving up your virginity to me, knowing damn well how I feel about you, only to leave in the end again?” I walk toward her, her back still turned to me. I lean down beside her ear, pushing some of her hair out of the way before I whisper, “Why won’t you fight for this? What’s holding you back from taking a chance? I thought you were stronger than this, Emily. I guess I was wrong.” She flinches as I punch the wall with my fist before moving back to make my way around her because I can’t deal with this right now.

I’m almost through the door when I feel her hand reach out and grab my arm, turning me back around to face her. Tears are rolling down her face. Her chest pulsates as the sobs wreak havoc on her body. She drops her clothes onto the floor as her other hand covers her mouth before she looks up at me. Her eyes are etched in pain as she shakes her head at me. I want to wrap her in my arms and comfort her, but I can’t. My mind relives how I felt after high school with her. How’s that phrase go? Burn me once…

Making my way to the kitchen, I grab a beer from the fridge. Twisting off the cap, I take a long pull from the cold bottle
