Jason buried his face into the sleeve of his sweatshirt. A whole three hours had already passed and he still couldn’t believe it. Why would Kathy break up with him? Hadn’t they been in love?

Sometimes she’d gotten annoyed with him and his reoccuring habits. She’d always hated it when he’d listened to the radio in the car too loud or traced his fingers along her skin, but he hadn’t realized she’d been considering dumping him.

Three years down the drain.

He’d been sitting with her in the park earlier that day, watching the clouds slowly drift over the sun.

But she’d looked different. That smile that usually graced her features was gone, replaced with an unsure frown. Her eyes looked distracted, distant.

“What’s wrong?”

And then she’d done it, that’s when she’d broken his heart, and he didn’t even know why.

Jason jumped, brought back to reality with the familiar ringtone from his cell phone. Carelessly flipping it open, he read the caller ID. It was Kathy.
