My heart chases the beat of the drum…
Weeks later…
I did it! I finally bought the ticket, and I will be seeing my boyfriend in a month’s time. It was a surprise and I couldn’t help feeling happy as I imagined his reaction when he saw me for the first time after almost nine months of separation. He’s going to go crazy and love me even more!
I jumped on my bed and answered my ringing phone with enthusiasm.
“Baby! I’ve missed you!” I said to Kyle.
He was quiet and it took him a while to respond.
Odd.
“Sienna… I’ve been seeing someone else for the past couple of months or so. I didn’t know how to tell you, but now I kind of have to since it’s getting, you know, serious,” Kyle said in a brushed off manner.
I gasped as my eyes started to tear. In a wobbly voice, I spoke, “What do you mean for the past couple of months? You’ve been cheating? And you failed to mention this to me?”
“I’m sorry, but it’s done. I’m with her now, Si. I haven’t seen you in months and I just kind of miss being with someone—”
“F*ck off, Kyle. Don’t call me ever again. Bye!”
Dropping my phone on the floor, I curled up in a ball. And cried… and cried…
How could he do this to me? After what he and I had gone through… especially after what I had gone through? He promised to never hurt me, but he lied. Kyle lied to me.
Of all the men, Kyle was the constant one in my life. He was my life raft. My go-to person… he was my hero. He was the one who used to save me from my turbulent home.
He cheated.
My Kyle cheated on me.
I didn’t leave the room until the night after. When Blake, Lucy and Toby dragged me out of the room and force fed me. I felt like death and when they managed to spring the information out of me, I was more than bereft. I was a tad hysterical, waterworks and all.
Kyle. How could he do such a thing?
