I enter my house and I hear crying. Why is she crying? I run into my bedroom and I see her lying in bed. She lifts her head. She is mad. She is mad at me. Why is she mad at me? She doesn't say anything but the silence is so loud. It's too loud. She looks at me dead in the eyes. I think I'm dead to her.
"Babe, what happened? Why are you crying?"
She doesn't say anything. Say something. Say that you love me. Say that you hate me. Just say something. Nothing.
I make some steps forward her. I want to hug her. She pushes me away.
"You fucking liar! How could you do this to me? How could you do this to us?", she said trying to stop her tears from falling.
I'm confused. The only thing I did was to go to my nightclub with my friends. What does she think I did?
"What? Just wait, calm down for a second. What are you talking about?"
Her eyes are so red. It hurts me. It hurts me so bad. Like someone just shoved a knife in my heart.
"You're joking, right? You don't even want to admit you did it."
"Did what? What have I done to you to act like this?"
She gets up from bed. My girlfriend gets up from my bed. She comes to me and slaps me.
"You're trying to play dumb or something? Fine! I'm fucking leaving!"
"You're breaking up with me and you don't even tell me why?"
"You're a cheater."
These words slaughter me. I would never do such a thing to someone I adore so much. Not to her, not to anybody.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Love, why would you think that?"
My voice shattered. I don't understand anything.
I can't think.
I can't move.
I can't speak.
Tears of frustration start leaving my eyes. Still, I can't say anything and I just look at her but she doesn't look at me. She looks through her phone. She shows me something.
"Your sister sent me this video", she explained to me without looking at me or the phone.
This is horrible. Not because I'm the one in the video fucking some woman, because she thinks it's me. He looks like me. He's just like me but he's not me. I can't be him.
"Love, that's not me I promise I wouldn't do something like this to you. I would never do something to hurt you. To hurt us."
"Your sister said it was you. It's you. Why are you trying to lie when you see I have the truth? Don't you see the problem?"
I'm the problem.
"I can't believe you can't be sincere with me after all this time we've been together. It hurts me even more because you're not just a cheater, you're a liar too."
More tears are forming in my eyes and eventually, they fall on the floor. I didn't do anything. I don't remember doing this. Fucking a woman I don't even know. Cheating on the only person I care about. Breaking her heart. Destroying her completely. She looks so miserable right now. I think she wants to slap me a few times but she just wipes her tears away, turns around, and disappears from my bedroom. I don't know if I should give her some space or if I should go after her. I go after her. I can't give her space. I want to hug her tight and tell her repeatedly that I can't live without her but she wouldn't care. She can't care for me anymore after this.
She left.
