"I can't do this anymore." / "We knew that this wouldn't work from the beginning." (im so sorry)
"I can’t do this anymore."
"No." Was the only thing Riley could say, and even then it came out as a more of a strangled whine as oppose to a word. "Knox, please don’t do this. I..we could tell people, if that’s what you want. I don’t care about who knows anymore, please," he rushed out, not really thinking about what he was saying. Realistically, he knew telling people on a whim probably wouldn’t solve anything, but he was desperate for something. The silence that next filled the room was almost painful and Riley couldn’t even give the other male another chance to talk. Standing up slowly, he glanced around the room in an attempt to locate his stuff. "I..I can’t stay here tonight," he finally said, voice trailing off as he spoke.
“We knew that this wouldn’t work from the beginning.”
Riley couldn’t say anything, all the words he wanted to say were choked up behind a sob that he didn’t want to let out. Instead, he stared rather blankly at Knox, needing something to focus on to get himself together, and even in a moment like this the other male was that thing. “But we agreed to try, didn’t we?” He finally spoke, voice quieter than he was expecting. “We agreed to try, make it work if we could. And now..now you don’t want to anymore.” All the words that came out were more or less statements, just Riley trying to make some sense of the situation in his head. “That’s okay. Well, it’s not really. But whatever you want, it’s fine,” he mumbled, nodding.
