"I am not being unreasonable."
I heard myself say.
"You are."
"Alex, please listen to me. I am not trying to be a controlling girlfriend. I just don't feel comfortable with you being friends with them, that's all."
I tried to reason with him, but he wasn't listening.
He thought I was making a big deal out of nothing.
"Comfortable?!"
He scoffed.
"I am 22 years old and you are telling me that I can't be friends with girls? Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous!"
"I just don't want to feel like I am in competition with them, that's all."
I tried again, but he cut me off.
"There is no competition between you and them. You are my girlfriend and that's final. I don't care about any other girl, so get that out of your mind."
"I wish you could understand where I am coming from."
I said, feeling frustrated with him.
"Why can't you just understand?"
"Because there is nothing to understand."
He said, making me even more frustrated.
"I wish you could see that I am not trying to be controlling, but rather I am trying to prevent any heartbreak."
"Stop being so paranoid."
He snapped at me.
"I am not paranoid. I just don't want anything to come between us."
"I should be the one worried about you cheating on me, not the other way around."
I slumped against the kitchen counter, my hands gripping its edge.
The argument had drained me.
His comment about me cheating on him stung like a slap.
He paced near the doorway of the living room, running his fingers through his hair.
It was a nervous habit I had seen many times before.
The only sound in the room was the ticking of the clock on the wall.
I forced myself to look at him.
His shoulders were tense and his jaw was clenched.
The distance between us felt like miles.
I took a deep breath, steadying myself.
"Fine, let's take a break and cool off."
I moved to the far side of the kitchen, needing some space.
The afternoon sun was shining in through the window, casting long shadows across the granite countertop.
My fingers traced the cool surface, counting my breaths as I tried to calm myself.
Behind me, Alex's footsteps continued, his pacing still agitated.
The rhythmic sound made my anxiety worse.
Suddenly, a car horn blared outside and I flinched.
I turned away from the kitchen, drawn to the window and its promise of escape.
"Why do you always run when things get tough?" Alex's voice softened, almost pleading.
"Because I need to think without feeling cornered," I replied, turning back to face him.
"Then let's think together, because I can't lose you over this."
I leaned against the kitchen window, the cool glass a welcome respite from the tension.
Alex's words lingered in my mind as I watched the sun's rays dance across the room.
The sound of his footsteps grew closer, and I could feel his presence behind me.
My shoulders tensed, anticipating his touch.
But when his hand brushed against my arm, I flinched away, memories of past fights flooding back.
I couldn't let him make me feel small again.
"I can't," I whispered, wrapping my arms around myself for protection.
"Every time we try to talk, you back me into a corner until I give in."
"No, that's not true," Alex protested, but I cut him off.
"You dismiss my feelings, then act like I'm the unreasonable one."
His silence was the only answer I needed.
I turned away, wiping at my eyes.
The steady drip of the kitchen faucet became my focus, a calming sound in the midst of chaos.
The air was heavy with unspoken words as I stood there, the distance between us growing wider.
Alex remained motionless by the doorway, his presence a reminder of our unresolved argument.
I opened the cabinet to get a glass of water, but my hands shook so badly I almost dropped it.
Alex stepped forward, reaching out to help, but I raised my hand to stop him.
The familiar tension headache began to build behind my eyes.
I filled my glass at the sink, trying to ignore Alex's presence looming over me.
Just as I lifted the glass to take a sip, the kitchen lights flickered overhead.
