“No, wait, where are you going?” Alec grabbed your hand loosely, but hard enough to keep you from running away from him.
He looked at you sadly and you shook your head in disbelief. “Why would you care?” Your voice was laced with such cold it almost made Alec turn his gaze to the floor. But he didn’t. He stood his ground and held onto your arm as if his life depended on it.
“Because I’m your boyfriend and I do care if you go storming off away from me.”
“You have a funny way of showing it,” you scoffed. He looked at you sadly as if he knew exactly what was going to happen. His look made your anger disappear slightly as you yourself came to the realization of the situation.
The fighting between you and Alec had escalated. To you, and most likely to him, it seemed like all you did was fight. It happened more and more often and you barely knew what you were fighting over these days. You were tired of it, he was tired of it. Hell, everyone were probably tired of it.
“Alec, I can’t do this anymore.” Your voice was barely above a whisper as you said the last words. He looked heart-broken to say the least, but this was for the best. Neither one of you deserved anything worse than the best, and since fighting all the time was hardly the best you had to do this.
“Please, Y/N, please don’t do this.” Alec looked like he was ready to start crying right then and there.
“I have to, okay?” You were going to continue further but your voice broke at the last word so you just stopped. The two of you did love each other, no doubt about it, but the fighting took its toll on your relationship. Maybe all you needed was a break. “I’ll see you around.”
