"No. You already lost me. You lost me when you finally told me the truth." Regret flashed in his eyes.
"No! No. That wasn't the truth! I want you. I wanted you. I always will. I was lying so it would be easier for you!"
"Does it look like you made it easier on me?" I asked, tilting my head to the side. His eyes analyzed my body again, and once they couldn't take anymore, he closed them.
"You did that because of me?" He whispered, opening his wild green eyes. "This is all my fault. You tried to kill yourself because of me!?" He pulled at his brown hair, tears streaming down both of our faces.
"The night you left I was trying to tell you that I forgive you. For everything that happened with April. But you didn't even try to listen to me. You just packed up and left. You were so willing to just throw everything away. You threw me away." And maybe that's all I am. Disposable. A plastic bag that's useful once or twice, but once you come home from the store, you don't know what to do with it. It becomes a burden until you end up throwing it away.
"No. Devina don't think like that. I made a mistake. I fucked up."
"Yeah, you seem to do that a lot, Zane." I walked over to the door and opened it. "Just go." I sighed, not daring to look him in the eyes. I heard his footsteps get louder until he finally reached me. He closed the door and walked over to the couch, plopping down and putting his feet up.
"Should I sleep here or in the bedroom with you?" He asked, making my blood boil.
"On the street. Now leave." I pointed to the door again but sighed when Zane made not even a single movement. "Fine. Just stay away from me." I huffed out, walking back to my bedroom.
"Goodnight Sunshine." I heard Zane call out before I shut my door, hopefully blocking him out.
