Chapter 45
Tiffany's View
"Baby?" Brian cried. I very slowly shook my head looking at him sadly.
"I don't think I do anymore," I said quietly. Tears were streaming down my face now. I didn't want to hurt him. More tears then began to fall out of his eyes. He pressed his lips together and looked down at the ground.
"Brian you have to understand..." I said sadly.
"No..." he said sadly. "I understand perfectly."
He looked at me sadly and then walked back over to the car. I walked slowly to my side of the car and got in. Brian was sitting there with both hands on the steering wheel. I closed the door and locked it. Brian turned the car on and then drove off down the highway.
I looked down at my hand and found the engagement ring and the ring Brian gave me to be his girlfriend. I looked at them sadly and then slowly slid them off my fingers. I put them in the palm of my hand and just looked at them. He probably wants them back. I looked over at Brian and saw that tears were still streaming down his face and that he was rubbing his forehead. He had his right hand on the steering wheel and his left elbow was up on the car door and his head was resting on his hand.
I swallowed hard and reached my hand out to him. He looked at me and then at my hand. He held out his hand and I dropped the rings into it. I then turned back to the window.
Brian's View
I looked at the two rings that Tiffany gave to me.
I can't believe this is happening. She broke up with me and this time it's
for good. She's serious. She really doesn't love me anymore. I closed my
hand and looked forward to the road. This is all my fault. Why did I have
to yell at her? Why did I yell at her? I don't even know.
1 Hour Later
I pulled up to the house and parked the car. Tiffany
opened the door and hopped out. I sighed and opened the door on my side.
I slowly climbed out and closed the door. I walked up to the door and took
out the key. I opened the door and let Tiffany pass. I walked in and closed
the door slowly behind me. I watched as Tiffany climbed the stairs not once
looking back. I'm in complete hell right now. Wait maybe this is a dream.
All a bad dream. Ah who am I fooling? I know this is real. All of it was
real. I then realized that I was crying again. I wiped my cheek and headed
towards the kitchen. I picked up the phone and sat down. I punched in Nick's
number and waited as the phone rang.
"Hello?" I heard Nick's voice.
"Hey Frack," I said sadly.
"Bri? Is that you?"
"Yeah It's me."
"What's wrong?" he asked concerned.
"Tiffany ended it tonight," I said sadly.
"What do you mean she ended it? She broke up with
you?"
"Yeah," I said. I was going to cry again.
"What!? She broke up with you!? What happened!?" Nick
asked shocked.
"We got in a fight and she said that we have grown
apart and that we're not the same anymore, so she ended it."
"I don't get it. You two were so happy
yesterday."
"I know, I never saw it coming," I said swallowing
hard.
"Why do I have a feeling that you didn't tell me
everything?"
"Because I still have to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"Nick...Tiffany doesn't love me anymore."
"Oh come on! She's madly in love with you! She just
needs a break right now. She'll come around tomorrow, believe me."
"No, she won't Nick."
"Yeah she will. I've known her my entire life. She'll
come around."
"No, she won't. She told me she doesn't love me anymore,"
I said through my tears. Nick then fell silent.
"Nick?"
"I...she...oh," he said.
"She doesn't love me," I repeated. I didn't really
say it to Nick. I was saying it to me. It was unbelievable to hear. She doesn't
love me.
"She really said that?" Nick asked quietly.
"Yes"
"I'm so sorry man," he said.
"I am too."
"So is the wedding off?" he asked. That just got me
crying harder.
"OH FRICK! I'm sorry! I didn't mean..."
"It's OK, I need to go," I said and hung up. I got
up and went to the back door. I opened it and walked out. I slowly walked
to the beach hardly seeing anything because of the tears in my eyes. I walked
through the sand and dropped to my knees. I put my head in my hands and just
sobbed. How can this happen to me?
Tiffany's View
I looked out the window and saw Brian on his knees on the beach. I could
tell that he was crying. I didn't want to hurt him. I just thought that it
would be best for both of us. I know the break up isn't what's making him
so upset. It's the fact that I told him that I didn't love him anymore. He
really does love me but I on the other hand...Oh I don't know. I'm so confused.
I could feel the tears well up in my eyes as I watched Brian. I turned away
and walked away from the window.
"We're over," I said to myself. I got into bed and turned off the light.
Brian and I are no longer together. I have to move on but why do I feel like
I made the biggest mistake of my life?
