Dew & I were happy, that was all that mattered. We were a proper couple minus the fact it was not public but we spent so much time together in private that I didn't really care that we weren't what some might call a 'normal' couple. It was late November and the university was hosting a Christmas faire and my Christmas-obsessed friend I had met through taking Welsh was adament on going and I said that I'd tag along. I invited Dew out but he said he had already made plans that day with other friends which I didn't have a problem with at all.
It was freezing that day, not that I expected any different on a November's day in West Wales but I headed up campus regardless to meet with the xmas-fan and a couple of other friends. The faire itself was pretty boring, there were stalls everywhere selling very un-Christmassy stuff though I suppose you could categorise them under xmas gifts. On top of that there was nothing very interesting there and it was all over-priced. To top that there was a brass band playing all the old Christmas 'favourites'. In another hall there was a food market, mainly farmers selling winter veg but there were also stalls selling cakes, jam and even ice cream - Furey bought a toffee ice cream, he was clearly mad as he was only wearing a thin T-shirt and was eating ice cream in freezing conditions!
When going to the third hall of stalls which mainly sold sweets and stationary (who put those together?) I noticed Dew with a group of other people browsing just as we were. I told the people I was with I was just gonna go ahead and browse while they were looking at penguin figurines, which were mega-cute. As I approached him he moved behind a stall which was designated for Aberystwyth University's Christian Union which is when I noticed he was wearing a hoody bearing the emblem. All at once I got confused and I felt shocked and I had to leave. I sat outside for about 10 minutes when the Christian Union congregated outside and started handing out free hot drinks to visitors. Dew spotted me and in an instant I got up from where I was sat and just hurried past him heading back to Pantycelyn.
Not once did I look back and by this time I had grown angry, why had he hidden this from me? It's not like I have a problem with Christianity but this led me to think that perhaps this had something to do with his breaking up with me in the first place. I had to confront him, if anything just to hush the hundreds of questions soaring through my head.
