My eyes shoot open to the sound of knocking on the left window of my car, I sit up straight and look through the rain struck blurry glass and notice a large figure dressed in navy blue. I pull down the window to find myself face to face with the town sheriff “you okay young lady? “He asks with his husky voice. “Yes sir, I was just-‘’ before I could complete he says “I understand, funerals are always the hardest things” he pauses “I think you should just head home because the weathers getting worse and it’s almost sundown” he says with a stern yet concerned look. “yes sir right away its just my heads a bit messed up and I’ll be on my way now thank you ….for your concern” I manage a half smile. “Take care ma’am and have a safe journey” with those words lingering in my head I watch him walk away.

I start the car and head straight home. My house was never like home ever since my parents died a few years ago in a tragic car accident leaving me effortlessly lonely with only the company of the articles I wrote for the town’s daily newspaper. I spent most of my time at home on my laptop and volunteered at an animal shelter to keep myself occupied and away from my lone state of being. My weekends were usually spent at Nik and Ellies apartment with wine and old movies. Those were the only days I behaved like myself and laughed my heart out. Ellie knew every single thing about me including the fact that I never stopped loving Nik and she would sometimes joke and say “you can have this ass he is a pain in my butt” but I knew how much she loved him and how she couldn’t manage even a day without him. I usually laughed at the statement and say “Ellie I don’t like your HUSBAND anymore ,I swear” she would smirk at me slightly drunk and say “sure you don’t Kiley, sure you don’t…and I believe you like I believed mike”. Mike was a double crossing ass who had broken her teenage heart by cheating on her and she had smacked him in the face giving him a blue eye for more than a week. We often laughed about it because she was the only girl who had the guts to do such a thing and get away with it without a scratch.

I push the front door of my house open and absorb the darkness around me ,I switch on the light and emptiness fills me from within, my feet start shaking and I grab hold of the door knob for support . I sigh deeply and enter pushing the door shut behind me, I look around for any source of comfort and I see none. I fall down to my knees in the empty living room and place my head on the carpeted floor sobbing my heart out .My tears roll down my eyes and get soaked up by the dark brown carpet. I let myself into the past again where my heart truly belonged
