My thoughts
Roots, I actually connected with what you stated. It is all a mind game she has on me. She'll tell me that she wants to marry because it'll make me feel like I should stay with her. But she could do whatever anyway because I took her words more into truth than she did.
Yesterday, however, I got off of work early and I walked to her job to get my car. When I got to Andrea's job, I really didn't want to leave (one-itis thing), I probably would've waited for her to get off. Andrea's younger comes to the car (because Andrea told her to) and she takes ALL of their clothes and stuff from MY car and askes another guy if they can put their stuff in HIS car. (OUCH) I'm trying to figure out why this is happening, then she leaves. While I'm in the car the following happened:
(My Cell Phone rings)
Mike: Hello?
Andrea: Yeah, what are you still doing here?
Mike: I'm doing something, why?
Andrea: There's no reason for you to still be here, I thought you would've been left by now.
Mike: I take it that you don't want me up here...
Andrea: (sarcasm) wow! you're smart!!
Mike: Yeah, okay I'm about to leave.
Andrea: And Mike, I think we need to have a talk..
Mike: yeah, me too.
Andrea: Mike, I think that we should just be friends.
Mike: WHAT?! WHY?! What did I do?
Andrea: ..and you don't have to worry about taking me to work no more, or taking me to school or none of that; as a matter of fact, I have a ride home from work tonight so you don't have to come back here no more..
Mike: hold on, why are you saying this.. let's talk it out first.
Andrea: I'm about to come to the car to get my CD Player. Bye *click*
I couldn't believe this. I knew our relationsip had a problem, but I am always willing to work things out, hard times come, y'know? But she just gave up on me, and kicked me to the curb like street trash. I wanted a reason. I started to believe that it's because she was interested in somebody else. Andrea came to the car and I tried to get her to talk to me, but she wouldn't. She wanted her CD Player, and that's what she came for. Everything I said, she ignored, I even asked if she would talk to me tonight when she got off, I never heard someone tell me "no" in such a way. She left coldly, and behind I followed. I decided to order something, a BLT from her job. I sat and I waited. When i finally got the sandwich, I ate it slowly. She called me again..
Andrea: Oh my god! When are you leaving?!
Mike: I can't.. move.
Andrea: Well, you need to. You're stalking me. I'm gonna get my manager to come out there and make you leave, and if you still don't, I'll call the police.
Mike: are you serious? I can't believe you're saying this to me!
Andrea: Look, I gotta go..
Mike: ANDREA!!
Andrea: *click*
"I love you so so much Mike", "We'll be together forever", "I know you're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with", "I want to have your children", "I want apart of you so that we'll be connected forever", "I'll never let you walk out of my life", "I want us to be engaged".... these are the voices I heard running thru my mind.. it was her voice; things she said to me in the past. Why is all of this happening? I couldn't take another bite of my BLT because I couldn't stop shaking or crying. All of her co-workers and managers began laughing; even Andrea. But it was one person who didn't laugh. Her younger sister. Andrea came outside to see what was wrong with me, as if she didn't know..
Andrea: Mike, what's wrong??
Mike: *sobs*
Andrea: Stop crying...
Mike: How can you do this to me? I gave half of my life to you. I let you drive my MOM'S CAR, my income is combined with yours. I treated you better than what I'm supposed to.
Andrea: Mike, I don't think I'm the one for you; you can do better. You can find someone that'll treat you better than I have. You deserve better, Mike.
Mike: I want you, I don't care about anyone else! I love you...
Andrea: I love you too..
Mike: Then why are you doing this to me?
Andrea: Mike, have you ever heard that if you love someone and you know what's best for them, you'll do it?
Mike:..yeah?
Andrea: well, us breaking up is the best thing for you. Why aren't you happy and jumping for joy?
Mike: that isn't the best thing for me, I know what's best for me!
Andrea: Well, I have to go..
Mike: Can we talk later when you get off? PLEASE??
Andrea: Mike... no. (leaves)
What the fvck is going on here? At this point, life was as confusing as it had gotten for me. Again, I broke down in sobs, but Andrea's younger comes out to console me. She told me that I shouldn't hold on to something that wants to be let go of. I actually had to let go. While I'm talking, I see Andrea playing around with her co-workers (males) by rubbing on them and going with them in corners; she'd even look back at me and my mouth hit the floor. The co-workers even rubbed her back. Her sister told me everybody does that up here. But the smile on Andrea's face showed me that she wasn't concerned at all about my feelings or me in general. As long as she could smile, I was okay. I left her job, and I went to the mall.
At the mall, I saw a lot of my friends and I told them all what happened. They all told me that I didn't need her and that I should be a PIMP and fvck feelings because they'll get you caught up in some crazy shyt. I guess I needed friends around me, I can actually say I got over her a lot, but there was something still there. I remember wanting to talk to Andrea when she got off of work, (to be continued)
