Some days later, Benjamin was in my house begging and saying.
"Please, forgive me. I love you, Maddison," he said. "I'm sorry."
"How could you, Benjamin? Why?"
"You are the one who left me all alone and I was lonely."
"Oh, so you are saying this is all my fault?"
"Shit just happened, baby. Please, I'm begging you. I am cutting her off for this time. I promise you."
He deleted her number and blocked her on social media again, but my trust was gone even though I was still in love with him.
So in love with him that I just couldn't walk away from the situation. We continued seeing each other until one day, I decided I was going to sleep with him one last time and never speak to him again.
I could have left right then, but I needed closure. I needed that one last time.
I was at a birthday party with Sada and Sarah one Sunday when I told them I needed to see a friend urgently.
