Eleventy-Two

It was the first time they had broken up. It was their second year of college and they had so many things they needed to figure out.

For one, she didn't trust him. After the entire ordeal between him and her roommate, Ann, she just didn't trust him.

Second, he wasn't treating her well. He didn't know how to balance school, work, family, friends, and a relationship, and it was finally taking a toll on them a year later.

She came back to his apartment after classes one day to find all of his childhood best friends, his brothers, sitting with him in front of the TV. The mood was grim. He wouldn't tell her what was going on. Even after when he would break down crying randomly throughout the day. For two weeks.

She figured it out on her own though. She ran through their conversations in her head, went over them with her roommates before she finally figured it out. His mother had breast cancer.

She waited for him to tell her, to confirm what she already knew. She was hurt and angry. They were supposed to love each other, but he hid something this big from her. The fact that his friends drove 2 hours to visit him for a weekend, and he still refused to tell her anything, for two weeks. To say it stung would be an understatement.

They broke up. It was hard and it was painful and she was firm. They were both in tears, hugging and kissing, before she finally tore herself away and went back to her own apartment.

A month or two later they both were at a party. They had both been drinking and she was dancing with him. She wanted him back. She missed him. She hoped to seduce him back to her apartment, make him remember what he was missing. She missed him so much.

She pressed her forehead against his, tried to kiss him, but every time he turned his head away.

Finally she said with hurt and frustration, "Why?"

He just gave her a sad smile, "I just love you too much."

Review please?
