Prologue

I stood up from were I was sitting next to him, for the first time in a three days thinking that I was doing the right thing.
I smiled at Ethan who was sitting behind him and as carefully as I could I let a defeated smile creep over my lips. This was it, I thought, this was the end.

I sighed and looked at Brendan, my boyfriend, he was laughing at something, sounding so carefree.
"Brendan, lets go talk."
Silence. As if someone had clicked mute on a movie, everyone turned quite. I felt as their eyes bore in the back of my head.
We slowly walked to the benches situated on the outskirts of the courts. One week ago in this same place I cold of considered myself the luckiest girl in the world. But right now... I just wanted to be myself again.

He lied down on the bench as I sat. I watched his profile one last time, and breathed in deeply. "I think we need to break up Brendan, things are not working out with us. I mean it doesn't look as if we are actually dating."
He sat up, but feeling uncomfortable by his proximity I stood up.
"Ok." He said.
"It's not that I don't like you that I do, I just think we will be better of as friends."
"All right."
I glanced at him one more time, and realised something, that seconds ago I was to blind to notice.
Three words, I thought. Three words is all he has bothered to say. Not that I expected him to fall to his knees and beg me to stay with him, but there are times in which a girl needs some kind of help.
I laughed, sounding sad and irritated at the same time. "I've always said that you're worthless when having to talk to."
He looked at me, surprise clearly written on his face as I turned around to leave.
"Chloe, I love you."

No, it didn't happen as in like a movie, I didn't cry, my breath didn't catch. I just stoped, and slowly as if scared by him, turned around.
"No you don't, and we both know that Brendan. You are just desperately, trying to search for the right words that will make me stay."
"It's just that, what do you want me to say?" he sounded defeated, tired, with all of his emotions drained away.
I smiled at this, and slowly as I could shook my head. "Nothing Brendan, I don't want you to say anything."

And leaving those words behind me, I remembered how I slowly walked away from him, restraining myself from crying as tears were beginning to well in my eyes...
