A Story by Nonnie Lorraine
"

a small snippet of a chapter from a new novel im writing.

"

He says it`s not you, it`s him. He can`t cope. You ask him what that means, have you done something? He simply say`s "it`s everything".                        
 "Everything?, Does that inclued me?".                 
He says nothing in reply, but his eye`s say everything. You know it`s coming,
and you don`t want it. But you test him. "Do you want to split up?", He give`s you a look, one from him which you have never seen before, you can`t explain it. It just feel numb to you. He say`s  "i think we should have a break",            
like your stupid or somthing you  say  "a break?", you thought about breaking his stupid newly tatooed arm. You look down at the floor... you could`nt look him in the eye, not anymore. You wanted to cry.             
 "If you want to split up just do it now, i can`t deal with this s**t anymore", you tell him,  still not looking at him.                               
He say`s nothing, you look up at him this time. His face is blank.                   
"I`m sorry", he say`s, you doubted he was. And say "i bet". He tell`s you he does love you, and again tell`s you he can`t cope. You are un-sure of what he can`t actually cope with. You ask him what he means. He say`s "i`m sorry", and start`s to back away from you. You can fill the tear`s forming in the back of your eye`s.      
 You hear your self saying "goodbye then".           
And he is backing away more faster, untill he turns away from you. And start`s off  down the alley way, and towards the main road. You watch. He turns back to look at you. But you look back to that floor, to you new converse. When you look back up he is almost on the road. There`s a bus coming, you kinda half hope to your self that he has`nt seen it. That it might just hit him as he crosses. He was`nt watching, but the bus crosses  just behind him, and he was out of sight. You waited till the bus had gone, but he had gone also. You looked back at you feet with a sigh, and had to hold back a sob. You fell backwards into the alley way where lay the tatters of your life
