I enter the restaurant after a crazy drive, it was snowing so much and you probably know what New York winters feel like..

I enter the restaurant and go to the bathroom telling the waiter I already have a table. As I walk by, I catch a glimpse of his dark raven hair. I back up and see him sitting in the more private section of the restaurant and sitting beside him was the one and only Sarah. I was starting to really dislike her. I hid behind a wall so that they wouldn't see me. I was still able to hear what they were talking about.

"Dylan I miss this. I miss us" I hear Sarah say as she grabs Dylan's hand intertwining his fingers into hers.

Dylan doesn't reply straight away. After he inhales some breath, he breaths out the words "I did too" and gives her a small smile. That honestly hurt my heart. What the fuck was going on? I was so confused. I Don't even remember how I exited the restaurant and got into my car. I was in total shock with all of this. With what I just witnessed.

I finally make it home even though it was hard to drive due to the weather. That whole scene kept on replaying in my head. I go back and sit in my original spot on the couch and wait for him to come home. I was going to confront him about all of this.
And after many, many hours.... the elevator dings revealing a tired looking Dylan. He gets surprised when he sees me still awake

"Why are you still awake? It's 2am" he says as he puts his car keys on the side table

"Where were you?" I ask him as I cross my arms and give him my serious face

"I told you before, I was in a meeting. I had work" he says as he starts to go upstairs

I follow him

"Dylan, stop lying to me. I saw your text messages" I say and he stops half way up the stairs and turns to face me

"Why were you going through my phone?" He asks ignoring my point

"Dylan, you lied to me. Tell me the truth" I say quite upset

He turns and continues going up the stairs

I continue to follow him

"Dylan stop ignoring me!" I say and we both enter the room

"Dylan listen to-" he interrupts me

"YES I WAS WITH SARAH, OK?" He yells as he slams his hands on the vanity table

"I was with Sarah, we decided to celebrate to dinner after finishing the project and for our hard work" he says with no remorse in his voice and he looks at me with his cold emotionless eyes

I stand there for a minute, not knowing what to say

"Dylan?" I say in almost a whisper

"What?" He asks quite annoyed

I take a moment to respond....
"Am I in the way of something? If I am, I'll just leave. I don't think I can live with my self if I'm standing in the way of your happiness. If I'm being the Great Wall of China in front of you." I say as I start to feel tears gather into my eyes

"Mia what the hell are you saying?" He asks as he grabs the bridge of his nose

"Dylan, don't lie. Stop lying. I see the way you look at her. The way you smile at her, she makes you happy. You both clearly still have feelings for each other and I can't stand in the way of that Dylan. I really can't" I say as I get up and go out the door walking down the stairs

Dylan follows me and tries to grab my shoulder "Mia what the hell are you saying? That's not true and you know that. YOU make me smile, YOU make me happy. I have feelings for YOU Mia! How do you not understand that?" He says and as we reach the bottom, he grabs my arm and turns me to face him cupping my cheek

"Mia, I wouldn't lie to you about something like that" he says in a soft delicate voice

I look him in the eyes and he's looking at my lips. I push his hand away from my cheek and give him a small sad smile as I feel a tear escape my eye "But you just did" I confront him

"Why do you keep on lying Dylan? There's something your not telling me" I say

"Mia what the fucks wrong with your little messed up head?" He says in disgust

"Excuse me?" I say quite shocked at the use of his words, I've never heard him saying something so harsh to me.

"You don't understand anything I do, which is why I'm lying to you! This is business and you don't understand the business world. Your all fairytales and unicorns. I can't even explain to you anything about work or my life because your stupid head won't process what I'm saying! So yes, I'm lying to you! Yes I was with Sarah! Yes I'm spending more time with her because she actually has a brain and understands things" he says as he keeps on throwing harsh words on me

Standing there with my shocked face, I turn and go to the elevator grabbing the car keys

"Where are you going?" He asks angrily

"I need some time to clear my head" I say and grab the car keys entering the elevator and closing it before I let Dylan enter. At this point, I let out a sob I didn't know I was holding. Why am I hurting so much? Then I got my answer. I clearly was making him unhappy. I was ruining his life. The only reason he was probably with me in the first place was because I've been stuck for him to baby sit so why not take advantage of that when you have nothing else to do.

I let out another sob and enter the car trying to calm myself down and clear my head. I can't overthink this. I start to drive out of the basement and notice it was snowing. ALOT..

I start to drive around not knowing where to go. I just wanted to go somewhere. I exit the city and it gets a little hard to control the car since it was late at night, the roads weren't clean yet. Tears were uncontrollably running down my face. I stop at the traffic light when it turns red but no matter how hard I held the breaks, the car wouldn't stop. It was slipping on the icy road. Then I see a flash of lights from another car and feel my car spin and flip over. Everything shakes. My eyes close as if Ive gone into a deep sleep.
