�Chelsea? Can we talk?� her boyfriend Lance asked.
�Sure babe. What�s up?� Chelsea questioned.
�I�ve been thinking about our relationship.� He said.
She froze. This couldn�t be good. �Oh? Good things I hope.� She said, hesitating.
�Actually, it wasn�t so good. Chelsea, I think we should see other people.� He spat out.
�Do you really? Well then, okay. I�ll see you around.� She said walking out of the room.
�Hey Chel. Where are you headed?� Chris asked.
�Hi Chris. I�m going home. That is if I can get a flight out of here sometime today.� She replied.
�Why are you leaving already? I thought you were here for another few days.� Chris said.
�I was supposed to but Lance�that prick.� She muttered the last part under her breath.
�What did he do?� Chris asked.
�He broke up with me.� She said sadly.
�You�re kidding me!� Chris exclaimed.
�Ha, I wish. Eh, well I�ll move on. No big deal.� She shrugged.
�You sure, you�re okay?� Chris asked.
�Yeah. He�s just one more guy to add to the list. Trust me Chris, I�m fine.� She replied.
�Okay, well you know if you ever need anything, you can always call me.� Chris said.
�I know. Thanks Chris.� Chelsea replied.
She walked away and went into her room to pack her stuff. She couldn�t believe everything that had just happened to her. To her, everything had been perfect. She sure didn�t believe that he was gonna break up with her. She was on top of it all. She would never have seen it coming.
Chelsea managed to get a flight out that day. A few days later, she turned on her television and was met with Lance�s face. She had to resist the temptation to pick up the phone and call him. A small part of her still believed that he was going to come to his senses and call her. She hoped that he would realize that he needed her as much as she needed him. She twisted a lock of her pale blonde hair around her finger and changed the channel.
She could kind of understand where Lance was coming from. Maybe she had been a little smothering at times. She could never tell anyone that she felt that way. Especially Lance. She didn�t want anyone to think that she was a wimp or anything. She was going to move on�but would it work?
Later that night, Chelsea�s phone rang.
�Hello?� she said
�Hey Chel. It�s Chris.� He replied.
�Hi! What�s up? I haven�t talked to you in a while.� Chelsea said.
�Yeah. I decided to check up on you. How are you kiddo?� Chris asked.
�I�m okay. I�ve missed you guys. How�s Lance?� she asked.
�He�s fine. He misses you.� Chris replied.
�I�m so sure. You always try to protect me. Trust me. I�m fine!� Chelsea groaned.
�I know that Chel. I just worry.� Chris said.
�Thanks Dad.�
�Cute. I never got to talk to you about the whole break up. How did you feel?� Chris asked.
�I feel as good as anyone would. Shocked, surprised, scared. I thought everything was going well. I didn�t think he�d break up with me.� Chelsea said.
�Yeah true. Everyone was surprised. We miss you.� Chris said.
�I miss you guys too. I still can�t believe that he broke up with me. Things like this only happen to girls who are too dense to know what�s going on.� Chelsea thought out loud.
�It�s really hard to believe. Trust me on that.� Chris said.
�Chel?�
�Yeah Chris?�
�Lance wants to know if you would talk to him.� Chris said.
�Yeah, I guess so.� Chelsea replied.
�Chel?� Lance asked.
�Yeah. What�s up Lance?� she asked.
�Not much. What�s up with you?� he asked, trying to think of things to say.
�Not much. What did you wanna talk about?� Chelsea asked.
�I just wanted to say that I was sorry.� Lance apologized.
�Yeah, okay Lance. I�m so sure that you didn�t think that this would hurt me!� she yelled.
�Chelsea, just listen to me.� Lance pleaded.
�Why should I? Do you how much that hurt me?� she asked.
�Do you know how much it hurt me to do it?� he asked.
�The why did you do it Lance?� Chelsea asked starting to cry.
�You were too strong for me. I couldn�t deal with it.� He spilled.
�No, I�m not.� She said crying.
�Is that really the reason? My personality never changed from when we started dating. If it didn�t bother you in the beginning, what changed?� she challenged.
�I don�t know. I guess that I was so in love with you that I didn�t care about your attitude. I just had to have you.� He replied.
�Right. So �in love�. If you really loved me, nothing would have changed. I can�t believe I was dumb enough to believe that you loved me.� She said.
�Chel, you gotta believe me. I did love you, I still do. I just don�t wrong with me.� He said.
�I know what. You�re a coward. And I�m the idiot who fell in love with you and gave you everything I had in me. I really am one of those dumb girls who I always make fun of.� Chelsea said.
�Chel, I�� Lance tried to speak.
�Save it Lance.�
