Penny slammed her door and collapsed against it. Her legs were weak and shaky and refused to hold her body up any longer. Slowly, she slid to the floor, sobbing. She knew that her relationship with Sheldon was too good to be true. They hadn't fought until that point. If she was in a normal non-Sheldon relationship, it would have been a fight. Words would have been exchanged and they would have made up and probably had sex.
Not with Sheldon though. The first sign of murky waters and he breaks up with her. She couldn't believe that he was blaming her for the mistake in his paper. What an asshole! Her whole body heaved with every angry sob she let out.
Inside, her heart felt missing. Of course it was missing. Sheldon had ripped it out of her chest in his apartment and stomped on it. She felt like she was on fire. So many emotions were running through her. She caught her breath and breathed deeply. 'Fuck you, Sheldon!' She thought to herself.
She fished her phone out of her pocket and shot off an angry text to him. She probably should have waited until she had calmed down and eaten half a gallon of ice cream.
"It's funny that you said you couldn't afford to make mistakes, because you just made the biggest mistake of your life. Go fuck yourself, Sheldon." She hit the send button and felt a small twinge of satisfaction. He wasn't going to break her heart and get the last say.
She got up off of the floor and went to the cupboard and pulled out a bottle of tequila. She sat down on the couch and took a shot straight out of the bottle. She wanted the familiar fuzzy feeling that she used to know. She wanted all of the memories of her and Sheldon to stop flooding her mind.
She hadn't had a drink, not even a glass of wine for the past month. After a few more shots, she began to feel lightheaded and her brain got cloudy. She should have stopped there, but didn't. She began to look through her phone and saw the picture that she and Sheldon took together at the botanical gardens. Her head was tucked into his jawline and his was resting against hers. He was smiling. He was happy. She was happy and now she was heartbroken.
She drank herself into a stupor and stumbled off to bed, hoping that she would forget that Sheldon Lee Cooper, the robot man who she was in love with for years, existed. The room spun and she closed her eyes to stop it. She fell asleep in her clothes, not bothering to change into pajamas.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
There was a light knock on Sheldon's door before Leonard stepped in. He had heard him sobbing through the wall that their bedrooms shared. He decided that he would wait until morning to talk to him. It was 6:00 and Sheldon should be getting up anyway for cereal and Dr. Who.
"Leonard, you can't be in here." Sheldon stated flatly. His head pounded and his body ached.
"Sheldon, are you ok?" He softly asked. Sheldon was curled up on his bed in the fetal position, clutching his legs to his chest.
"No." He simply stated. Leonard took a seat on the bed beside him.
"What's wrong, buddy. I hate it when you're like this." Leonard replied.
"I made a mistake." Sheldon said. He was so still. It looked like he wasn't even breathing. Leonard had heard about Sheldon's flub with Professor Hawking. He thought it was funny that he fainted, but he would be just as equally devastated.
"You've made worse mistakes before, Sheldon. It will pass." Leonard said trying to be comforting. He sat in silence for a few moments staring at Sheldon's back.
"I'm not talking about that." Sheldon said breaking the silence. He felt the familiar sting of tears again, which just hurt now because he had been crying practically all night. Leonard was correct, he would bounce back. He was a genius, after all.
His mind went back to that moment he knew was the biggest mistake of his life. The color drained from her face and tears created little trails on her cheeks. Her eyes were wide with disbelief and she looked like she couldn't breathe. Her voice came out pleading and he refused to give in. 'Sheldon, please, you're breaking my heart!" Her voice replayed itself over and over, etched in his brain forever.
He was a stubborn man and he was set on what he wanted to achieve which was apparently intentionally hurting his girlfriend. The one person he let get close was driven out of his life because of his stubbornness.
"I broke up with Penny last night.' Sheldon confessed as he wiped the tears from his face. "Leonard, I love her. I didn't even know that I did. I knew that it would get to that point, but I know now that I have loved her from the first time we met. I thought that love at first sight was hokum, but I can assure you that it isn't." Sheldon said sitting up in his bed and looking at his friend.
"If you love her, Sheldon, you have to tell her." Leonard said quietly. He felt for his friend. This was his first break up, and they sucked. They sucked even more when you realized that you let the one thing you have ever wanted go.
"Thanks, Leonard. Please get out though. People aren't allowed in my room." Sheldon stated. Leonard nodded and left.
Sheldon contemplated Leonard's advice. Sheldon had to do everything in his power to make things right. She was the only thing that mattered. The Nobel would always be there. Penny wouldn't.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Penny's eyes shot open and she felt her body involuntarily get up. She ran into the bathroom and proceeded throwing up at least twelve shots of tequila. Her body heaved over the toilet and her mind recalled last night's events. She felt even worse.
She finished throwing up and brushed her teeth. Her brain was splitting with a headache and she smelled terrible. It was Saturday and she had to work in a few hours. There was no way she was going to make it, so she called in sick.
She sat on the sofa in her clothes from yesterday. Her toast popped in the toaster. She got up and ate it dry and unadorned. Memories started to flood into her mind. She recalled their first kiss. It was playing in slow motion over and over in her mind. It was so sweet and perfect. She gritted her teeth together to stop the tears from falling.
She grabbed her phone from the bedroom and sat back down on the couch. Sheldon hadn't texted her back. Surprise, surprise. She sent Amy a quick text.
"hey Ames, R U busy 2day? Want 2 hang?" She really needed her friend right now, even though she was technically Sheldon's friend first. Her stomach twisted. She would probably have to give up all of her friends. No more going over to the boy's apartment. It will be awkward as hell trying to tip toe past them. She will probably have to move. Her phone buzzed.
"I'm on my way Bestie!" Amy texted back.
Penny smiled, she was so glad to have her in her life. Her eyes drooped closed and she fell back to sleep. She dreamed of Sheldon and his soft kisses. It was terrible. It was awesome. It was exactly what she didn't need at that point.
Her door knocked and she sprung awake. She quickly moved toward the door and let Amy inside.
She latched onto her in a tight hug. She let out a sob and Amy stroked her hair. They stood like this for a few minutes before they sat on the couch. Amy looked into her friends face and wiped away her tears.
"What happened?" Amy quietly asked. Penny sniffled and ran her hands through her hair.
"Sheldon broke up with me last night." She admitted. Amy frowned and hugged her friend. They slowly rocked until Penny stopped shaking. She pulled away from her and looked away.
"I'm in love with him, Amy. I never wanted to get in the way of his work or his dream. I'm such an idiot for letting it happen in the first place. I thought he was different." Her voice shook as she spoke. Amy wasn't sure what to say.
"I think that he got scared and his first instinct was to run." Amy said softly. Penny's heart ached at her friend's statement. She didn't know why she was defending him, but she knew that she was right.
"I don't know what to do. I have never felt this way about anyone before, Ames. Ever." She confessed. She wished that she could just run over to him and make everything better.
They sat together on the couch for a while. Amy was holding on to her friend in her arms and Penny rested her head on Amy's shoulder. She was truly her best friend. They watched an episode of Sex and The City in silence.
Penny decided that she was feeling a little better and she needed a shower. She thanked Amy for coming over to comfort her. They hugged and Amy left.
Amy was in the hallway making her way toward the stairs and the door to 4A opened. Sheldon peeked around the door at her. He knew they had probably had a Sheldon bash fest and the pit in his stomach grew larger.
"She doesn't want to see you Sheldon." Amy quickly stated. He nodded. He just wanted to make things right. He wanted things to go back to how they were before.
"You really hurt her. For someone as smart as you are, you would think that you could have avoided this situation.' She told him. He nodded. He wasn't sure what to say.
"Amy, I love her." He quietly confessed. She nodded in return.
"If you love her, you need to find a way to make it right." She advised.
He nodded and she was gone. He stood in the hallway staring at 4B for a few minutes before returning to his apartment.
