ALEX
I tried talking him out of not cancelling out on her. I stood by, infuriated when Derek told me to go buy jewellery to use as compensation for flaking out on her. I was well aware tonight was a big night for her and he had the audacity to skip out on her.
The black card, tossed to the side I didn't bother to do as he said. He may do a lot of things to people, but hurting her I failed to allow that to pass through. Maybe if I had told her all about his unfaithfulness all this could have been avoided.
What had stopped me I realize was that I somehow felt I may not be what she's looking for. I hadn't been blind to the looks we received from people when we were together, some people don't like the fundamental idea of seeing colours mixing.
She felt the stares too, with my age playing
