With Time, We Fall
Chapter Twenty Five

Addison

Troy and I went to dinner to the restaurant our first date was.
"Remember?" He asked,
"Of course"
"Our first real date" He smiled goofily,
I laughed "I was there" 
 By the end of dinner, his smiles saddened, as did he. When we were walking back to his car I asked him what was wrong. 
"Addison I have to tell you something." He leaned against the car. My mind flooded with horrible memories. He just told me he loved me there was no way we could break up.
"Addison," His voice was raspy, like he was holding back tears, "I'm going away for a while. And I don't know how often I'll be able to see, or even talk to you." I was right, he was holding back tears. They started slow, and became more frequent. "I don't know if you still want to go out with me, or if you'll still want me."
"Troy what, are you talking about? Of course I stil-" I started to cry.
"You don't. I think we should- I don't think I'm saying, that we have to. I don't know how long I'm going away for"
"No. no, I love you and you love me. I know you love me" I said through my whimpers "because if you didn't love me you wouldn't be crying like you are right now."
He was shaking his head. 
"If you really want to do this then tell me you don't love me Troy." 
Troy stood there for a couple moments, but it seemed like years.
He was crying a lot by this point, and it was hard seeing him like this. 
"I don't love you Addison. And I don't want to see you again." 
"You don't mean that."
"Yes I do!" He was yelling, and running his hands through his hair, shaking. "We have to."
"You say we have to, not that you, want to" 
"I want to." He mumbled "Stop making this difficult Addie!"
Addie. He called me Addie. My heart sank to my stomach. 
"I knew I should have never fallen for... a, a guy like you." 
"Addie what do you really know about me. Honestly"
His face drooped, like he made a mistake.
"Troy. What do you mean"
"A guy, a guy like me, you said a guy like me but you have no idea what 'A guy like me' is!"

"Oh please. You have good grades, you're great at football and I don't know why you stopped playing, almost every girl is in love with you and every guy wants to be you. You have a nice car, house, fam-"
"Shut up Addison. Shut up you don't know anything."  
We were both crying really bad at this point and I was confused as all hell.
"Fine. If you really want to do this, then this is it. We're done."
Troy slid against his car onto the ground,
"Maybe you hate me right now, but I want you to tell me whats wrong."
"I want you to go away!" He screamed, throwing his keys at me "Take my perfect car! Okay?" 
At that point Ryan pulled up, rushing out of his car in a panic "Whats going on? Troy, come on. Addison whats wrong with him?"
 "I would tell you if I knew Ryan but he won't tell me."
"Why do you have his keys?" He asked me "I don't know! Take them, I don't care I'll walk home. Goodbye Troy. Have a nice life."
And I stormed off.
We're done.
