Chapter Forty-Three: More Fight

"You're the fakest bitch of them all." I lost it; I slapped him hard across the face. His face whipped to the side from the force of my slap and he laughed.

"I'm a mess, aren't I?" he asked, and the old Kevin was back. Feeling the anger leave my body, I slid down against the wall until my ass touched the floor.

"Where have you been Kevin?" all the fight I had in me had left, giving me vague memories of my daisy dukes sliding down my legs.

"I needed some space okay." He threw his hands up in exasperation and came to sit down next to me. "Space from what?" the question was answered with silence; his gaze fixated on the mini fridge in the corner. And suddenly, it clicked. "Or should I ask, from whom?" The look in his eyes when he turned to look at me said it all, making me feel ill.

"I'm sorry." He whispered and I commanded my tears to stay in their ducts, but my command must have fallen on deaf ears because a tear escaped and streamed down my face in shame.
