GHOST

After Frank and I finished our coffee we talked. I told him that maybe I should break it off with Bert. Frank obviously said of course I should. Soon after he left and I was left with feeling overwhelmed. He invited me to come over to his place and I accepted. Frank gave me some time to get ready and talk things out with Bert. It was about 1:30 pm and I was ready. I took out my phone and decided to call Bert. After a few rings the phone was picked up.

“Hello?” I heard a groggy voice.

“Bert, we need to talk.” My voice echoed and it was silent throughout the apartment and on the other line.

I heard Bert exhale and he spoke, “About what?”

“About us.”

“What do you mean us? We're fine though.”

“No we're not. We aren't working. You don't love me, and I know you don't. I don't love you either.”

“Listen Gerard, I do love you. I swear.” I could feel the lie, it rang throughout my ears.

“No you don't.” I commented, “You haven't said that to me and meant it in years Bert.”

“I-I-Listen Gerard.”

“No, I'm not listening. We're done. I don't-I can't put up with your shit. You're going out late at night drinking your life away and screwing other people. You have been abusing me for too long. Just please leave me alone. I hate you even when you leave. For the past months you've been using me for sex, money, and so much more. I've been trying to convince myself that we still love each other, I've been convincing myself to still love you. But I really fucking don't.” The other line was silent until I heard Bert clear his throat.

“You're seeing someone else, aren't you Gerard? You're seeing someone else, aren't you. You little cunt.”

“We're done, we're going to see other people. I don't want to be with you anymore.”

“You're going to wish you never broke up with me Gerard.” Bert commented.

“I highly doubt that Bert. I'm done with you.” I hung up and suddenly felt like a big weight was lifted from my shoulders. I smiled and then I heard a knock on the door. “Frank.” I smiled.
