I’m so sorry. I love you.

For almost a week I walked around in a daze. No one knew what happened, and I wasn’t going out of my way to tell them. I played the part of the best friend and everyone seemed to buy it. When I told Rhys he would hurt me worse if he left this time I wasn’t lying. I was broken and nothing was going to fix it this time.

Little warning bells went off in my head when I decided to call Rhys after my third glass of wine, but did I actually pay attention to them? Of course not, because why would any sane person do that? The phone rang until voicemail picked up. At least I knew he wasn’t deliberately sending me to voicemail. That is, if I remembered this in the morning.

“This is Rhys, leave me a message and I’ll call you back.”

“Rhys. Rhys Brooks. You sir, you’re an asshole, but I love you so fucking much.” I could hear myself slurring, so I tried to slow down. “I wanted to love you forever, but you left me. Again. Why is it that you don’t think I’m good enough for you? I would’ve spent my entire life living in a little shack in Washington if you had just let me love you. We would have had kids. God, I wanted like twenty kids with you, but nope. That’s never happening, I’m old as hell now, and my eggs are all dried up. Oh and guess what! I’m going to start looking for sperm donors next week because I want a kid so bad I’m willing to do it all on my own. So forget you! No man wants me, so I’m not waiting anymore. I can do this all by myself. It doesn’t matter anyway because I compare every single freaking guy I date to you. Every. Single. One.”

I took another large gulp of wine.

“Wine is good,” I mumbled. “Rhys, why are you so freaking selfless? You ruined our future and I want to forgive you, but it’s so damn hard. I think you should know, I’m still in love with you. I just wish you loved me back. I’m so sad you left me again. What did I do that was so bad? I was a little scared, but if you had stayed, you could have helped me through it. You just ran after you made love to me. Things got….dark after you left. I needed you to help me through it, but you weren’t there like you promised me you would be. You didn’t do what was best for me like you promised.”

I looked down and my fourth glass of wine was gone. “Huh, I’m out of wine again. Hey! You know what Rhys?” Was that really my voice? God, I needed to stop the word vomit. “You’re a pussy. You’re. A. Fucking. Pussy. And you’re too fucking scared to man up and actually admit that you want a relationship with me, so you run.
