Tony-~~~~~~~~~~~
"Singer for all time low Alex Gaskarth and tattoo artist Zina Norman call it quits." Vic read aloud from AP magazine online.
"I told you to never say her name." I was still hurt about what I did and never regretted it more when she actually did start dating alex.
"But you're missing the point! They're broken up!" Vic turned to answer then phone.
"Yo!" He answered, "oh my god Zina calm down, I'll be right there."
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Can you take me to her shop? Please? You don't have to go see her just please?" He begged.
"Fine cmon." We jumped in the car and drove off to her shop.
She was sitting outside it looked like she was crying. She was as beautiful as I remembered and that made my heart hurt.
"Vic!" She cried running up to him as we got out of the car, I don't think she even saw me.
"What happened Z?" he stroked her hair as she sobbed into his chest.
"He cheated on me. While they were on tour just now. Some girl named lisa." She was bawling.
"He's an asshole." I said startling her.
"Tony?" She wiped her tears but they were still flowing, "I thought I'd never see you again."
"I know I'm so sorry Zina." I went to go hug her but she retreated back to Vic.
"I just can't right now." She said to me, still bawling.
"I'm sorry Zina." I never loved her more.
"You abandoned me. You said you loved me then left. How could you do that? You said he was better and he wasn't. I believed you. I love you and you threw me away." She cried harder those word she spoke felt like razor blades on my skin.
"Zina, I did that because I thought he was better. I love you too please don't think I abandoned you. I didn't throw you away. I tried to make you happier." I explained to her.
"I'm gunna let you two talk this out I'll wait in the car." Vic said and reluctantly Zina let him go.
"Look where that got me? I was betrayed and it hurts Tony. It hurts so fucking bad." She cried and held her chest.
"I'm sorry, cmon get in the car and I'll take you back to my house and you and Vic can talk where there aren't people."
"Okay." She let me lead her to the car.
It was silent except for Zina sobbing in the back seat. I helped her out of the car and carried her inside. I was having severe Deja vu.
"Vic how could this happen to me? I tried to do everything right." She was still sobbing.
I went and made her some coffee I still remembered how she liked it.
"He was in the wrong Zina not you." Vic said to her and I could hear from the kitchen
"I'm not even talking about alex anymore. I'm upset about that sure but I should've fought harder for Tony. But then he like fell off the grid from me."
I stopped dead in my tracks. She thought this was her fault? Me walking away was her fault.
"It wasn't you Zina, he was trying to do what he thought would make you happy." Vic explained, " he was so hurt by what he did we couldn't say your name to him."
"I really am sorry Zina." I said to her handing her her coffee.
"I love you Tony." She said and looked at me like those words could wash away all the pain she was having.
"I love you Zina." I said back to her hoping that I could take away her pain by just those words.
"I just want our eternity back." She sniffles and sipped her coffee.
"Me too."
"Is this really happening?" Vic beamed.
"I need a few weeks so that this blows over but if he wants it then yeah." She said and looked at me.
"Then yeah it's really happening." I smiled like I haven't smiled in 2 years.
"I gotta call Mike!" Vic said.
