As Val shouted at her, Cyndi winced and her mouth dropped open. She opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it, unable to deny what he said. She did want out, but she hadn't wanted things to end this way. She had hoped to salvage a friendship when she broke up with him, but now she knew that the likelihood of that was slim to none. The tears that had been threatening to fall now did as she sat there, sad about the whole situation. She wiped her eyes and cheeks and took a deep breath.
Getting up out of Val's bed, Cyndi pulled her shirt on and then began to walk over to Val. When she was close enough, Cyndi reached out hesitantly to touch Val's shoulders. "Val...look at me...please" she began as she stared at his back, the tears still falling.
"I... I'm sorry, so sorry" she sobbed. "You're a really great guy. I just can't...things are moving too fast and I'm just not sure about...us" she said, ending in a mumble, unable to look him in the eye. She felt terrible and wouldn't blame him if he yelled at her some more.
