“Grace! What in the world are you doing? It’s
freezing cold and…”
Jake paused when he saw that I was crying.
“What’s wrong?”
“You can cut the act, I know now.”
I could tell he was about to ask another question again but I
interrupted.
“You didn’t have to lie to me Jake. If you didn't
like me, all you had to do was say so, but no! You had to put
on this big act!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I love
you. I’ve told you that. You know that. You know I love
you, Grace.”
How could he lie straight in my face!?
“Yeah you also mentioned something about being a Christian
but I guess we can’t all tell the truth.”
“What do you mean by that?”
He knew exactly what I meant. I wasn’t the kind of person
to be mean or rude about this even if he did lie to me. I just
wanted him to leave.
“You know, you’re a good guy Jake, and I’m sure
there is a pretty girl out there just waiting for you. Why don’t
you go find her?”
That was the nicest way I could put it.
“I don’t have to because you’re right here.”
“Please go now.”
I was crying again.
“Don’t do this to me.” He begged.
He was crying too.
“I’m only doing this to protect what I believe in.
Jake, I love you and I always will. Please don’t forget
what we talked about, don’t lose what faith you gained while
we were together. You betrayed me and I can’t deal with
that. Please leave.”
I pleaded once again. I didn’t care what Jake did for the
rest of his life. I just didn't want our breakup to affect the
trust in God he had gained while we were together.

He was speechless and tears streamed down our faces.
I had never seen him cry previously. He usually wasn’t
an emotional guy. I stood up and walked away. I couldn’t
stand to see him like that. He didn’t come after
me. I guess it was a good thing but it hurt too much
to look back so I stared straight ahead and walked
into a whole new beginning; a world of loneliness.
- Two Years Later -
I saw him today, I didn't really know what to say
but I knew the mature thing to do.
“Hey.” I said to him, smiling.
“Hi.” He replied blandly.
“How are you? It’s been so long.”
I realized how dumb that sounded after I said it.
Of course it’s been so long. We wanted it to
be this way.
“I’m uh…”
Someone called his name. I guess that was a relief
for him.
“I got to go.”
“Okay, bye.”
That was it and then he was gone.
I couldn't believe this. I couldn't believe that we could just
walk right past each other and not even acknowledge each other,
or that we couldn't even look each other in the eye because we
are scared that the memories of heartaches and lonesomeness will
come flooding back. It’s unbelievable. I don’t know
about him but for me, those memories never left. It has been two
years and I’m still hurting. I’ve been on one date
in the past two years and even then, I couldn’t stop thinking
about him. Sometimes I think it’s the stupidest thing I
ever did; breaking up with him. Back then everything inside me
was telling me he had to go but right now it’s as if I couldn’t
tell how much longer I could go on without him. This went on for
months.

“Excuse me Miss, I know that you don’t work here
but do you happen to know where I can find some band-aids?”
A man said with a smile.
I hardly knew where anything is in the grocery store but I knew
where the band-aids are due to my clumsiness. The guy was extremely
handsome and polite. He reminded me so much of him...
“Yeah, sure. Right down that aisle.” I said as I pointed
out the band-aid aisle.
He gave me another one of those familiar smiles and went on his
way. I smiled back. As soon as he grabbed the band-aids, he came
back up to me.
“I just wanted to say thank you. So um… Would you
like to go out sometime you know, like on a date? Dinner and a
movie?”
“A date? I don’t know uh…”
“Alex.”
