A date with Erick

As I walk down the stairs, the door to David's house opened, and David came out.

"I can see you're quite determined to go out with your boyfriend," he says the boyfriend word with a sneer.

" Happy birthday", I said without smiling.

" Can't you cancel your appointment with him, and attend my birthday? I want you to be there."

His words made me laugh, " funny how you seem to forget most things you say David."

I walk past him to avoid the tears welling in my eyes from slipping.

David have hurt me so badly, yet it's not enough for him. He's trying to cause me to shed more tears than necessary, but I won't give him the satisfaction of that.

He can have his girlfriend, while I have my own life.

I can't allow him not only break my fragile heart, but trample on it.
