It wasn’t the note that I was expecting to read. There was no explanation on where he went or why he had to go. The word ‘goodbye’ wasn’t even written on it and I stared at the note blankly, numbly, continually wondering if I wasn’t even worth the goodbye. All along, he just wanted to sleep with me and when he finally did, I was left like trash in a lake house in the middle of nowhere.

The tears fell in that instant, the pain ebbing from my heart through my soul. I never knew pain like this, suffocating and heart-wrenching, the kind that even if you cried hard enough, it didn’t take it away. I sank to the ground, pulling my knees closer to my body as my traitorous mind went through every memory I had with Leo, every moment he made me feel wanted, special, as if I was the girl that changed him, as if I was the very person that could get him to fall in love, to commit.

But he never said I love you, stupid. Foolish of you to think that you’re enough for him.

Choking on my sobs, I pulled myself up, trying to wipe away my tears selfishly and standing up, but only falling back to the ground again, the heartbreak too much for me to bear. All I ever did was love him but why did love have to be this heartbreaking?

The cool afternoon breeze made me shiver and slowly, my eyes fluttered open, staring blankly at the empty space beside me. Blinking, I sat up and looked at the window. The rain hadn’t subsided. The storm was still going on outside as raindrops continued to fall like harsh torrents on the rooftop. I let out a long exhale, my heart throbbing with the pain of Leo leaving, reminding me of the first time he did but also because there was a part of me who thought he wouldn’t do it again.

I slipped into denim shorts and a white hoodie, grabbing my car keys. I needed to drive around to unwind. Everything that had happened in the last nearly 36 hours had been overwhelming and I needed to get my mind off of things. But just as I descended down the stairs, I could hear someone in the kitchen. For a moment, I thought that Mom had brought back Max while I was asleep but then remembered that she wanted her grandson throughout the weekend.

My heart raced, a bubble of unwarranted hope filling my veins as I took a step closer to the kitchen. There he was, in his jeans and white shirt again, his hair a complete disarray as he focused his attention on the video on his phone which seemed to be someone teaching how to cook dinner. I couldn’t really make out what the person was trying to cook but Leo seemed to be following her instructions since he was trying to cook something.

As far as I knew, Leo only knew how to fry things and make sandwiches.
