#31 Miami Florida Breakup

Miami Florida Breakup

“I’m heading on my way to the airport. So excited to go to Miami, Florida for a little vacation!!” @amandafrinkajean posted two hours ago. Uggghh. I hate airports. There are so many people. Let me give you a little background on how I arrived at the Chicago O’Hare International Airport. About a month ago, my boyfriend, Bryan, wanted to take a break in our relationship. He was a handsome guy with brown hair and blue ocean eyes. I thought he was the one. We had been together for five years when he said that he wanted to take a break from us. I was like, “WHAT, why are you doing this?” All he said was he needed to figure things out.

For a couple of weeks, I was an absolute wreck. I cried myself asleep thinking about how much I still loved him. Suddenly, I woke up one morning and knew I had to get my life back together. I decided to go on a vacation. What better place to go to than Miami, Florida! Now I am currently at the airport with two screaming kids behind me. It is so annoying. This is a perfect time to remind me why I am never having kids in my LIFE. They are horrible monsters. Finally, I get through the line and hand the lady my ticket. She smiles and says, “You are good to go.” I go through the security checkpoints and get on my flight without any problems. “Heading for takeoff. Heading for takeoff.” I'm finally in the air! It’s a good thing I'm not afraid of heights because we are really high up in the air. This is really relaxing, though. Why didn't I do this a long time ago?

“Ma'am. Uhh, ma'am. You have to get off this plane now. You're flight is over,” a flight attendant politely says.

“Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was over. I must have been sleeping. Oops!”

Wow! How did I sleep through a whole flight? Well, I'm here Florida! I get up and off the plane. As soon as I walk out the airport, all I can see is beautiful palm trees, huge buildings, and breathtaking beaches. It is the prettiest thing in the world. All I can think is Bryan would be so jealous right now. It is also extremely hot, though. I take a cab to the hotel and settle in for the night. The hotel is full of couples, but it doesn't bother me. I can have just as much fun by myself and I will. In the morning, I decide to go down and eat breakfast. They have pancakes, waffles, bagels, muffins, sausage, eggs, and so much more! I take all that I can get and bring it back to the table and eat. Afterwards, I decide to go out and shop. There are so many amazing stores to see and go inside to look around. I also see some beautiful sites along the way. Before I realize it, the day has gone by and night has come. I go back to the hotel and decide to order room service. I hear a knock on the door and I answer it.

“Bryan. What are you doing here?” I asked surprised.

“I'm here to get you back. I realize I can't live without you. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me!”

“I don't know what to say. I'm in shock.”

“Just think about it. I'll be here for the night, but I'm leaving in the morning. I booked a room next to yours,” Bryan smiled.

“Ok.”

“I love you.” He left. I lay on the bed thinking about everything. Why now? It has been a month since he wanted a break from us. I don't know what to do. I couldn't sleep that night. It seemed like forever, but it turned back into morning. I woke up and knew what I had to do. I couldn't wait so I went to Bryan’s room right away.

“I have made my decision. I don't have any feelings for you anymore. I'm sorry.”

“Oh. Ok. I knew it was a long shot but I had to try. Take care of yourself.” I could tell by the look on his face that I had broken his heart the same way he broke mine a month ago. I left that room feeling horrible, but I knew it was the right thing to do. After that, I packed up my stuff and went back home. It didn't feel right to stay. I wasn't in the mood to vacation anyways. I never saw Bryan again. I always wondered what we could've been.

Two years later, I married and had a kid shortly after. How ironic that I would have a kid, right? I guess they aren't so bad after all.
