Remembering Sunday

It’s been 2 days since I found out I was going back to California and I’ve been pushing Lexi away even though it hurts.

I’ve ignored her calls and kept the texting to a minimum and I’ve not seen her since.

Bailey isn’t home tonight so it makes it easier, I knocked on the door and she opened it smiling at me and I forced myself not to smile back.

I tried to keep the conversation short and I hugged her once kissing her cheek, I chewed at my lip knowing what I had to do but not wanting to do it.

“Lexi we need to talk, this isn’t exactly easy but this isn’t right” I said and she looked away.

“I’ve tried but it just doesn’t feel like last time and I think we should just be friends,” I said and she nodded.

“Sorry Lexi” I offered knowing I’d hurt her and she nodded “I’ll go,” I said standing up and walking out.

I walked straight home and went to bed and noticed Lou curled up next to me as I went to sleep.
