Opening the door my eyes widened in shock to see Zack.
"Zack?! What are y-", I stumbled back when he suddenly engulfed me in a tight hug.
My heart skipped a beat and butterflies fluttered in my stomach, but yet I felt sick.
Why is he suddenly acting like this?
Maybe if he'd excepted my proposal back then, then maybe I'd hug him back. But I didn't, instead my hands hung dead at my sides. My mind was still blank and trying to comprehend what the hell just happened.
"I missed you so much", he suddenly loosened his grip and looked up into my eyes.
Stop
He inched closer, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry". His figure started shaking, his black locks covering his hoes.
Please stop
"I love you".
I flinched at those words. Those deadly, poisonous words.
Stop it
"I shouldn't have pushed you away back then. But I was so confused, I didn't even know how I felt at the time".
It hurts
"Please forgive me", he carest the side of my face and leaned in, interlocking our lips. I didn't know how to react. I just stood there, my mind in a hurricane of emotions.
No
His lips moved so delicately, and they felt so soft. But yet I felt like throwing up.
I don't want this
Lips still locked, he gently pushed me back inside my living room and onto my sofa. Slowly his hands snaked down to unbutton my blouse.
That's when I snapped.
"W-what do you think you're doing?!", My voice shook, but I didn't know if it was from fear or anger.
Pushing himself off me a little to give me space he gazed down at me with those hazy brown eyes.
"I'm proving my love to you"
My head shook in disappointment, "you don't love me".
My heart tightened.
"You've never loved me, not once", I raised my voice in anger.
"All this time you treated me like some object. A piece of garbage for you to kick around. I tried reaching out to you, wondering what on earth I had done wrong. I even apologized for doing nothing and got the silent treatment in return".
My eyes started tearing up and so did his.
"Do you know how much you hurt me. How much I hated myself because I thought I wasn't perfect enough for you. I nearly tore myself apart because of you".
"And now you had the audacity to come into my home and spew some bullshit about loving me and proceed to sexual assault me?!".
"Mel-"
"No, please don't start", I sobbed, "don't make things worse".
"I know the only reason you're here is because of her", just thinking about it made me sick to my stomach.
"You got rejected, didn't you?"
His silence said everything and I couldn't help but laugh.
"She did reject you. And you couldn't handle it and came to me. You knew I still had feelings for you, so you took that to your advantage".
"You Fucking disgust me".
"So what if I did? It worked didn't it, and you can't do anything to stop me", he spat.
The burning flame that I had once felt for him was now distinguished, and I thanked him for it. I'm glad to get over such a despicable man.
"Get out", I nearly screamed making him flinch off me.
"No", his voice sounded so sure but I heard the fear behind it.
He came here with the intention of filling the hunger he had for that woman and try to win me back to his side. He pushed me away for someone he didn't even know and got rejected in the end. So he came to me because he had no one else to turn to.
He's all alone now. But if he hadn't rejected me he'd be the happiest man in the world.
I can't believe we used to be childhood friends. I knew everything about him. From his favorite foods to his weird habits. We've both been through thick and thin together. And now I've seen the side to him I never knew he had.
It's like I never even knew him.
"It didn't have to end up like this", I got up from the sofa and walked towards him only for him to back away in fear.
"But you ruined it for yourself", by the time he backed out the door, I quickly grabbed the handle and slammed it shut.
"Goodbye Zack", I locked the door and slumped against it.
The feeling of freedom washing over me felt amazing.
No more will I be tangled in these heavy chains. Struggling with every breath.
I'm free now and can finally live a care free life without ever looking back.
And the mistake I had once made, would be one I will never make again.
