Celia

Chapter 22

There he stood in all black with the face of dissapointment.

"Stefanzo ..I ..how did you get in here?"

He chuckled and looked down as he slammed the door behind him walking inside.

"You thought I was just going to give you your key back that easy huh? I made a copy and gave you the original." He said.

Aaron stood in the kitchen bug eyed and silent.

"Don't worry I'm not here to mess up whatever you guys got going on." He looked at us both barely clothed.

"I just came to get the rest of my stuff." He continued.

"Wait here" I told Aaron as I walked behind Stefanzo in the room.

I stood there and folded my arms as I closed the door.

"So that's it huh? You're just leaving?"

"Isn't that what you wanted?" He continued packing without looking at me.

"You just move on so easily huh?" I walked Into the closet with him.

"Looks like you beat me to it. You got this dude in your house; guess he sweet talked you into your pants huh?" He laughed and walked out the closet passing me by.

I grew angry. This isn't the  Stefanzo I knew he'd never say that to me.

I grabbed him and turned him around to face me.

"Where have you been staying?"

He rolled his eyes "that's not your business." He said walking towards the door

"It is my business because you just walk out on me like I'm supposed to be fine, did you forget how it felt to be walked out on."

He paused in his tracks and turned around.

"I came here to apologize for the misunderstanding. To apologize for saying things that I shouldn't have because with being an adult attempting to belittle you or purposely make you upset is childish."

I stayed silent.

"But I came back to another man being in the same vicinity as the woman I care so deeply about, the man I fought for you over, the man I never trusted from the start,
  the man that has hurt you to unbelieveable degree. As silly as this prolonged highschool sweetheart phase went I never judged your feelings. yet here he is, making love to the woman I l-"

he squeezed his eyes shut balling up his fist and turning around he walked out the door.

"I moved into this too fast Celia, it's obvious you and I have some growing to do and though my heart will never stop beating for you...I wont be around for you to know." He said as he swung open the front door.

"Stefanzo no! We can fix this...I can fix this I can't sleep at night knowing you're not by my side and never will be again."

   "I'm not saying we won't ever be together again Celia but this is definitely a goodbye for now. Look around you do you see how deep in bullcrap we are right now? We have time to grow because I cant live right knowing this is still occurring between you and I."

His last words rung a bell in my ear as he shed a tear and walked out the front door

Tears fell down my face I held myself tight in disgust I still can't understand how I let this happen

"Get out." I told Aaron.

"What? W-why "

"GET OUT!." I yelled at him with a stream full of tears in the welds of my eyes.
