Warning: Minor Spoilers Ahead

~ Gwen ~

I heard a knock on the door. “Finally!” I exclaimed. Trent had called a couple days ago and said he’d be coming by soon. He said he had some bad news. I knew what it was. Trent’s ‘bad news’ is probably that he’s breaking-up with me, after being together for three years. I answered the door, and ‘happily’ said, “Hi.” I hugged Trent, and then we quickly kissed each other on the lips.

“Hi Gwen. Look, we need to talk,” Trent said.

Seriously? ‘We need to talk’? How cheesy could Trent be? If he thinks I’m going to be surprised to hear the words ‘I’m breaking up with you’ he’s sadly mistaken.

Trent led me to the love-seat, where we sat down. How ironic, a couple breaking-up on a love-seat. Trent grabbed my hand and continued his break-up speech. “Gwen, the day I called you, Shane Richards called me.”

Shane Richards? The record producer? It’s all coming to me, before he even says it. He’s breaking-up with me so he can pursue his career in music. Real original, Trent. Real original.

“He really, really liked my demo, and…”

At this moment, I noticed that Trent’s eyes were red, as if he had been crying lately. I had tears in my eyes, hurt of what I knew was coming. Trent saw the hurt in my eyes, and he was slow with his words, afraid of officially saying what was already so obvious.

“He’s gave me a record-deal. I’m…” Trent paused, not wanting to hurt me, but, of course, he had to finish his sentence sometime, along with our love. “I’m going to be really busy, and…” Trent once again, was slow with his words. ‘Get on with it Trent’ I thought. The longer he waited to say it, the more I was hurting. “I have to break-up with you, Gwen.”

When he finally said this, I busted out in tears, crying into my hands.

Trent then moved-on to the ‘I’m sorry it has to be this way’ speech. “I didn’t want to do this, Gwen. I really didn’t. But I had to… This is a once in a lifetime chance. I hope you understand Gwen, and you have no idea how much it hurts me to see you like this.”

I didn’t reply. I was angry and sad at the same time. I was angry at Trent for being so selfish, yet I understood. I know he didn’t want to do it, but he should have chosen love over success.

Trent hugged me, though I didn’t want to hug him. He finally said, “Goodbye Gwen,” and then my house, and my life, for good.

I continued to cry, for I wouldn’t get over Trent for sometime.

For three years, Trent was a hit. When the fame got to his head, he lied and said that I broke up with him, not the other way around. How selfish of him. I would of opened-up and told everyone about his lie, but I still cared for Trent, and I didn’t want to do that to him. Whenever Trent would happen to appear on any television show I was watching, I would either cry, turn off the TV, or do both. I loved Trent, and I actually thought that he would one. I was sadly mistaken…

“Ma’am? Are you okay?”

I regained my focus, and turned my head away from the TDI DVD, regretting the sight of it. I answered her. “Yes, I’m fine. Do you happen to know where the latest movies are?”

“Of course. Follow me ma’am.” I followed the employee, and as we passed the entrance, someone opened the door…
