Better Than My Ex

The Break|......|Up

Arriving home from a long, stressful day at one of the most established magazine companies in New York, Raevyn plumps her brief case down on the couch, reaching to take off her nude colored, six inch heels one by one. Eventually making her way upstairs in exhaustion, Raevyn is welcomed by her boyfriend Rico, seated on the edge of their neat,overly decorated bed. Raevyn knew there was an argument patiently waiting around the corner, as Rico released a breath filled with fustration.

"What's wrong now"? Raevyn lifted her hands in the air, rolling her eyes as she unbuttoned her blouse and slid out of her skirt.

Raevyn and Rico managed to keep a happy relationship ever since they met in highschool, nothing could keep them apart.  Between Raevyn's new promotion and Rico's basketball injury things could do nothing but end in chaos now.

"Are you serious?" Rico sacastically smiled scruching his eyebrows.

"Rico I don't read minds and I'm not starting today, so either you say what you have to say or leave me the hell alone." Raevyn rambled back and forth from her dresser and the bathroom getting ready for bed.

Lifting up out of bed, Rico lifts his crutches, and hops to the closet grabbing a red and black athletic bag from the top of the shelf, and snatching some of his clothes off of hangers, stuffing them into his duffel bag. As Rico looked up at Raevyn she stood there in shock, holding her pink toothbrush in her mouth.

"I love you Rae, but I just cant do this anymore." Rico managed to finally pack all he thought was necessary for the night, as Raevyn still stood there. Soon after it finally hit her that Rico, the love of her life, her highschool sweetheart was leaving. Running down the stairs, Raevyn stops Rico at the door, grabbing his arm.

"RICO, your just going to leave, what did I do?" Raevyn widened her beautiful, teary brown eyes at Rico, filled with hurt.

"You really don't know huh?" Rico shook his head, in disappointment, laughing a little.

"----No." Raevyn began to get a little fustrated.

Rico threw his bag around his shoulder and pecked Raevyn on the cheek, as he hopped to his car. As Rico pulled off in his white Avalanche without taking a second look, Raevyn slamed the door shut, and slid down to the floor with her back against the wall, crying her eyes out. Minutes later her phone rung, to broken to get to her phone, she let it go to voicemail.

*Beep* "Hey Rae, Raevyn's bestfriend Tammy's voice made Raevyn straighten up and listen.-- I was just calling to ask if you could tell Rico big head happy birthday for me, he aint answering his phone, neither are you so I guess he getting his gift. Tammy joked. --alright girl call me back when you done.

Raevyn hopped up dodging over to her calendar, next to her fridge in her kitchen, praying it wasn't true. As Raevyn stared at the calender marked bae's bday,in her bold red handwriting, under August fourth her heart broke into a thousand pieces.
