A Prideless Action

 

“A

gain?"

 

I still could not believe the words that had just left Ace's mouth. 

 

He continued to speak but the rest of the things he was saying did not register in my mind. I could see his mouth move but I could not hear anything.

 

"Can we please not joke about things like this?" I started to shake my head, giving him a disappointed look. 

 

I was expecting him to start smiling and laughing like how he usually does when he tries to pull a trick on me, but he did not. Instead, he continued to look at me with both pain and concern. 

 

Before coming here, I made a mental pact with myself that I was not going to cry. If only I knew he was going to break up with me, I would not have made that promise. 

 

I still tried to contain my tear, but it gave away after a few seconds. Tears started to stream down my cheeks, and I began to sob. I knew I looked like a mess. I cried even harder when Ace wrapped his arms around me.
