Never Again

Do you love me?

Emily and Jessica were trying out different dresses . It could be clearly seen in Matt's eye who he was observing . Emily signed Matt to bring the red dress to her in the dressing room . When Matt brought the dress she pulled him by his collar and wrapped her arms around his neck .

" What are you doing Emily ? "

" I am doing what you wanted me to do . "

" Oh ! "

" So teach me what do you wanted to teach me . "

" It is not the time Emily ! " He was trying to avoid eyes contact with her .

" Don't you want to see what's underneath the layer . " She loosened her robe and let it fall loose on the ground . She held his hand and glided them on her waist . And then she kissed him but something was wrong he didn't kissed her back .

" What is wrong Matt ? " She put her robe back .

" I am sorry Emily . It is just that I can't do it right now knowing that Jessica . . . . "

" Why did you stop ? complete your sentence . " Emily was feeling used . Now she wanted to know what was going on between Matt and her .

" Jessica is out there . "

Now Emily was a little angry " Yes she is and that is because you asked her to stay . "

" Yes that was because Tyler is not here . She is all alone . I thought that it will be better for her to have a company . "

" Yes that will definetly be better for her but do you even think what is better for me . You should let her go Matt . She broke up with you . "

" And you are reminding me this to tell me that I am worthless , right ? "

Things between them were getting a bit tense .

" No that's not what I meant . I am just saying that you act like you are still committed to her . I feel like I am the third wheel . "

" Oh now I see what the problem is here . You are angry because I asked Jessica to stay here . You are pathetic . "

" Do you even see how you act around her . You were totally ignoring me . I was feeling uncomfortable . "

" Just because me are seeing each other does not mean that you can dictate me . "

" That is not what I am trying to do here ? "

" You know what I will just leave . "

" Oh now sure you will because you have Jessica . And when you have why why will you need me . I am nothing but a rebound to you . "

" A rebound ? Oh so were eavesdropping our conversation . You know what I was wrong earlier , you are not pathetic you are creepy . "

" I just heard , I was not trying to . But that doesn't even matters . What matters is that you accepted that I am a rebound . You are just using me to get over Jessica . "

" I am leaving now and maybe you could call your little friend to pick you up . And I am taking Jessica with me so I am leaving you alone with your crazy mind . "

Matt walked out and he asked Jessica to follow him . He told her that he will drop her on the way . Emily sat on the floor of the changing room wiping her tears . She picked up her phone . The screen looked hazy because of the tears . She texted Rachel to come here to pick her up .

She was cursing her life . She was not able to believe that her love life ended before even starting .

Rachel came to pick Emily as soon as she got the message . Emily was standing outside the boutique . Rachel noticed that her eyes were moist . She figured out that something happened again between Matt and Emily .

Emily saw Rachel's car . She ran to her and sat in . She was not able to hold back her tears anymore .

Rachel was getting worried for her . She asked her what was wrong but Emily hung her head down and the tears rolled down her cheeks .

" Emily I am getting scared now tell me what is wrong . "

" What is wrong with me Rach . Why can't I be happy . One second I let myself be happy and then in the next second it gets snatched from me . "

" Emily have you noticed that since you got into a relationship with Matt you judge yourself every second . You cry more than you ever did . I think that this relationship is making you sad . "

Emily looked up at Rach " Who are you to tell me this you are in a toxic relationship and you know it . What are you doing about it ? " She was tying to hide her pain by using anger .

Rachel hugged Emily to make her feel better " It is not about me . Tell me what is up with you two . You were with him , that's why I didn't come . I thought that you should spend some alone time together . Where is he ? "

Emily wiped her tears and said in a low voice " He left ! "

" What ? "
