Her✓

Do you

River sad and heart broken woke up with a pounding headache after crying herself to sleep.

She looks down seeing the note crumbled in her hand. Hurriedly she smoothen it reading it over again.

"Why? Why leave?"

She sulks back into the bed going back to sleep  before she has to meet up with her family later on.

She was so out of it the whole time. Mind completely somewhere else. "Rivera Mantigo I know you hear me calling you." Her mother spoked in an agitated voice.

"Oh leave that girl alone she just a little heartbroken right now she'll get over it in a month max." Rivers aunt says, trying to defend her.

A month max

Wow they really think that lowly of my love for him, for eachother?

The girl scoffs so does her mother. "I understand she 'loved him' but-"

" 'loved him' " she repeats chuckling. "Thats rich coming from you... Do you understand how it feels?" Her mother tries to cut her off but it was no use.

"But do you? Do you understand? Do you understand, the permanent sadness! Tears rolling down your cheeks at 3 am? Wondering what could I have done differently... the hollow feeling you get when you know... that you'll always be alone because you lost your one? Do you really think, That you understand?!?" She screamed to them.

"He-he was, no! He is my one love. There is nobody else, there is no getting over him. I will NEVER get over him. "

The women stared at the poor girl in utter shock. Eyes tearing away from her broken ones. River scoffs, "silence? Humm. I didn't think so." She gets up grabbing her jacket. "Hit me when you do."

I don't like the idea of being in love, but I don't hate it either.  Some say you'll recognize love As soon as you feel it. Some say 'You'll know when you know' But I feel that's a lie. I didn't know until he left. I mean I knew how I felt but not how he did.

For some, love is an unrecognizable feeling... For some, knowing is just believing... we think we know what love is, until we realize that we were only ever just fooling ourselves. Love brings out the side of us that shows we are naive that shows how far we'd go for eachother. Some stay and others leave thinking it's for the best....

"What are you doing to me Ambrose?"
