I remember a time when he said ¨Nothing about you is enough,¨ I listened because my head wasn’t clear. I listened because everybody else was gone. Maybe the problem had just always been me.

He would yell all the time but he never hit me. I loved him and then one night he invited me over to his house. We had been watching a movie together. When it ended he got up to take a shower.

His phone kept going off. I didn’t think anything of it at first. But after it dinged for the non-stop for over a minute I decided to pick it up to see who it was and make sure it wasn’t an emergency.

It had been texts from someone saved as P.

River: Hey stuck at work but ill be there later tonight

P.:Okay see you later

River: Yeah I should be done soon.

P.:Okay I’ll be ready babe ;)

Followed by that there had been some pictures and other messages telling him the things she would do to him when he got there. The tears had been running down my cheeks. I left before he got out of the shower. I knew that if I stayed he would manipulate me into staying.

He called me all of two times when I left after I didn’t answer he texted saying he was gonna go to bed and to call him in the morning. I tried hard to tell myself that I was being irrational. He cheated and I shouldn’t waste my time cry over someone that blatantly lied to me.

I told him when we have begun the relationship to tell me if there was something bothering him or if he had lost interest to just let me know. Because it hurts much less than knowing that somebody doesn’t value your feelings.

I couldn’t be as mad at him as I wanted to be because somewhere in the back of my head I knew that he was doing something like that. I felt it and pushed it back because I wanted so badly to trust him.

It took me so long to finally start living again. I hate him. I really do. The minute im content and happy he shows up.

I’ve been sitting on the bathroom floor of whosoever hose this is. Im honestly surprised nobody has come banging on the door. I get up and shoot a text to Mads telling her im gonna call a cab and head home.

I walk out of the house and start to look up the number for the cab service. Somebody grabs my wrist and turns me around. I look up to piercing green eyes.
