Rooming With My Best Friend - Decisions - Forget - Choose Your Own Story - 17
Forget
“You
know what, Matt?” Corey said.
“What?”
“I
can’t forgive you and I know I’m not going to forget what you did last night. I
can’t be with you anymore because you don’t love me like I love you.”
“What?!
No! Corey! Please!” Matt pleaded, almost hyperventilating.
“I’m
sorry, Matt, but when you chose to be with Kris last night it proved to me that
you don’t love me like I want you to, and I deserve better than that. We’re
through. So if you want to be with Kris, now you can be.”
“I
don’t want to be with Kris!” Matt cried.
“No?
But you don’t want to be with me either, do you?”
“Of
course I do, Corey, I love you.”
“Oh
yes, you love me so much you would choose to go to another man’s bed instead of
coming to join me in mine. You might not love Kris, or even want to be with him
in that way, but it’s over between us, Matt. It’s just one thing after another
with us and I can’t take it anymore. I need to see other people and explore
what is out there. I’m not ready to settle down, and I’m certainly not ready to
settle down with you.”
Matt
crumpled to the floor, crying, but Corey held his breath, even though a part of
him wanted to comfort Matt, as he walked out into the main living area. He
could see that Kris was still asleep because the door to his room was open. He
felt like walking in there and shaking Kris awake so he could punch him, but he
didn’t really blame Kris, Kris was just being Kris, whereas Matt had broken his
heart.
Not
sure what to do with himself, Corey sat down on the sofa and picked up the
remote, turning the TV on, even though there was nothing on it he had any
interest in watching.
Ten
minutes later Matt slowly entered the room, fully dressed, sitting down beside
Corey, silently at first, but eventually turning to look at him.
“Please
don’t do this, Corey,” Matt said.
“It’s
too late for apologies, or for you to beg for forgiveness. I’m done, Matt.
We’re no longer boyfriends and I think you had better get used to that.”
“But
what are we going to do about rooming together?” Matt asked with tears building
back up in his eyes.
“I
guess I’ll move back in with Colt and Kris can move back in with you. I still
love you, Matt, but we can’t be together as boyfriends. Despite that I think we
can still live together as friends, at least until we find someone new to live
with, which likely means I’ll end up moving out because Kris will stick with
you.”
Matt
broke down in tears and tried to hug Corey, but Corey placed a hand on Matt’s
chest, pushing him away and fighting the tears that were threating to burst out
of his own eyes.
“I
can’t be with you anymore, Matt, it’s driving me crazy, so please stop trying
to make things better because you can’t. The damage was done last night, and
this time it can’t be fixed.”
Matt
broke down, tears streaming down his face. He couldn’t believe what a fool he
had been and how big a mistake he had made in swapping blowjobs with Kris the
night before. He knew it was all his fault that his relationship with Corey was
over and it tore him up inside. He couldn’t stay in the room, he just couldn’t,
he needed to get away, to get some air. He jumped up from the sofa and ran out
of the door.
Corey
watched the door slam and then he let the tears come, crying over the fact he
had just said goodbye to the only man he had ever loved, but also knowing that
he had done the right thing. He just wasn’t sure what to do with himself now
Matt was no longer his boyfriend.
Matt
and Corey have broken up and have to deal with the aftermath, but whose next
steps do you want to see? You decide.
