If he wasn't going to love me, he wasn't going to love anyone.

Write a story which starts or ends with this line.

Blue’s Diner

There’s no way he’s been seeing someone else. We’ve been together for 2 years now.


I know Frida told me she saw him with another girl, and I know we’re friends, but how can I believe her? I’ve known her for less time, and Danny is my everything. Aren’t there signs for cheating anyway? Because he hasn’t shown any. He’s been as loving and caring as always, even more so lately.


“I heard they’re going to lunch today at Blue’s Diner.” Frida had told me. “3pm I think. I know this is hard for you, but you should really go and catch him. You deserve way better.”


Maybe she’s right. Maybe I do deserve better. Or maybe she’s completely wrong. Maybe he’s not cheating? Maybe it’s just a whole misunderstanding and here I am parked a block away from the restaurant.


It’s 3pm. I should go look, right? But, I can’t move. Oh my god what if she’s right? What if he’s cheating on me with some gorgeous model and I’ve been too oblivious to even notice?? What if all the times he’s “been busy”, he’s with her?


Shit Shit Shit. It can’t be true. I love him too much to believe it’s true. I should just turn around right now…


But…


I’m already here…so it wouldn’t hurt to take a look. It’s not like i’m snooping, I just happen to be walking by this restaurant. Yeah, just get out of the car and walk toward the restaurant.


Smile and nod at the passerby’s. Ew that’s my old math teacher. Just smile and walk, just smile and walk.


See, there’s the restaurant! I don’t see Danny anywh-Holy fucking shit.


He’s there, at a table in the back, barely noticeable. I can see through the glass. A gorgeous blonde-he told me he never liked blondes-sitting there with him.


Maybe she’s just a friend? Oh nope they’re holding hands. Oh my god she’s kissing him. This can’t be real.


What did Frida say? Go confront him then and there?


No. I can’t. He deserves worse than this. He made me fall in love with him, and for what. Just so he could throw it all away for some cheap bitch?


I can feel the sadness and hurt being replaced by rage. How could he do this to me?? How could he do this to _me_?!


You know what, if that’s how he wants to play things, then so be it.


If he wasn’t going to love me, he wasn’t going to love anyone.
