Daniella's POV
It was a ring, a shiny diamond ring. I felt my world crumble all over again, my heart raced and many thoughts clouded my mind. I pulled him out of the building in a hurry till we got to a secluded place.
"What the fuck is this? Haven't you done enough? Why won't you just let me be?" I asked all at once with utter disgust.
"I still love you, I still want you. Jenny doesn't mind, we can be together" he said, caressing my cheeks.
I slapped his hand away and walked out on him. He grabbed my hand and for a second, the clock stopped ticking, everything paused. I felt a surge of emotions and connection. His warm touch, it's something I've missed so much. Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought of how much I let myself get insulted.
I turned back to look at him, his eyes held everything warm but I just couldn't get over the fact that he betrayed me and threw everything we had because of someone he had just met.
"Just leave me the fuck alone, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. Don't you get it? We are broken up. I've moved on, why can't you let me live in peace?" Tears rolled freely from my eyes and I hated every bit of it.
People saw us and began talking, I felt humiliated as I stood there, crying uncontrollably.
He let go of my hand, looking completely stunned. I walked out without looking back.
"I think this is what's best for us," I said, wiping my tears. "He won't come back after this".
I stood there looking at my reflection in the mirror. I looked empty and lifeless, like a part of me already died. The part of me that knew how to love and trust. I looked like a completely different person and it was an unpleasant sight.
Minutes passed like seconds as I was lost in my thoughts.
"Oh shit, that scared me" I held my chest, looking down at my phone, Gary was calling.
"Hi" I answered after clearing my throat, "how are you?"
