Stars

Everything turned white. I felt like a spider falling down the drain, spinning to my death. I felt nauseous. This couldn’t be happening.
“Melinda?” Leo said from the other end of the phone which was held up against my ear. “Are you still there?”
“No. Why are you doing this to me? Do you know how much it hurts?” I said sadly.
“I – I know. It’s not like I wanted to – “
“If not you then who? Why are you breaking up with me?” I almost shouted.
It had only been two weeks since Leo asked me to be his girlfriend. I didn’t understand why he was breaking up with me so early.
“My manager. He wants me to break it off with you. He told me to right after the concert ended but I said no. He kept threatening to stop the tour if I didn’t…so I lied, I said I did. But somehow he found out and he’s standing right across from me listening to me break up with you.” Leo stammered.
“You’re lying aren’t you? You found someone else didn’t you?” I asked bluntly.
“No, Melinda. I would never lie to you. I haven’t found someone else.”
“Why?”
“My manager says that me being taken decreases stocks and demand rates, don’t ask me how. He also said that it’s wrong for me to date you because you’re not 18 yet and our age gap is too big. Apparently it can be used against us.”
“So, you’re breaking up with me because your manager told you to?” My heart throbbed.
He hesitated. “Yes.”
“I can wait, for two years until I’m 18.” I said.
“What about me? I’m not sure I can wait.”
“But don’t you love me? How can our job come between us?” I blurted.
He didn’t respond.
I didn’t say anything.
“Love is such a strong word, such a strong feeling…” Leo said softly.
“So what you feel for me isn’t love?” I asked.
“No. You’re too young to know what love is, how could you possible think that – “
“Just stop there!” I screamed. “That’s enough, I don’t want to hear anymore. If you want out then I’m fine with it.”
Leo’s last words to me were “I’m sorry.” Before I hung up.
I guess it was never meant to be, me and Leo. Maybe I’m not meant to be with anyone. Our relationships always end so bad and I always end up hurting the other person whether I mean it or not. Now I’m not sure if I will be able to move on so quickly. I thought Leo and I would last longer than 2 weeks, then again, I’m only a child who doesn’t know anything about “love”. Maybe that’s why I’m so hurt. Maybe I invested all of my feelings into him and didn’t know what to do. Next time I wont be so naïve, if there is a next time.
