"Nothing you can say can replace what you took from me. I didn't get to say goodbye to my brother. You fucking bitch. Do you know how much I have hated you? How much I wanted to destroy you after he died? How could you?"

My voice sounds subdued and desperate when I respond. "Please, listen to me. It was David's choice to leave. He knew he was dying and he wanted it to be on his terms. David didn't want to die in a hospital room. He tried convincing your dad and step-mom but they wouldn't listen. They kept telling him to fight and David didn't want to fight anymore. He wanted to die. David was tired, so very tired of fighting. David's cancer beat him and he knew it. So he did the only thing he could. He died on his terms. We had been trying to get a hold of you for weeks. Neither of us had any way of knowing you would show up hours after we left."

I hear the pleading and simpering in my voice and I feel disgusted with myself. I didn't do anything wrong. But I can't help myself, I kneel on the ground and abase myself at Evan's feet, I'll try anything to get him to listen. "Please. I'm so sorry. I never meant to take your goodbye away. I was only sixteen years old. In love with a boy. Not this passionate, all consuming love that we have. But it was still special. It was sweet, wondrous and tender. Listen to me. Please. I'm begging you."

His lips curl up in a sneer, contempt dripping from his mouth. "I can't believe I fell for your lies. You heartless bitch. Was this a fucking game to you? You destroyed one brother and had to sink your claws into the next one in-line? Well, guess what? There are no more brothers left for you to ruin."

Evan is slamming stuff into his suitcase as he screams at me, taking the drawers out of his dresser and dumping the contents into his suitcase. He disappears into the bathroom and comes back with his toiletries, then empties out the nightstand next to his side of the bed. "We are through Cahira. I don't ever want to see your face again. I have my mom's ring back now but you can keep the engagement ring and my house key. Add them to your little trophy collection."

I crawl back over to him, sobbing and crying, grabbing on to his leg and begging him to stay. Pathetic and desperate and clinging. Everything I promised myself I would never be, would never do over a man. But I am clutching Evan’s leg as if my life depends on this outcome. Because it does. If he leaves now I will be broken. A husk of the woman I wanted to be. A whisper.

"Evan, please, I'm begging you. Listen to me. I can explain."

"You disgust me. Get off and show some damn dignity. Enough of your games.
