When Love Finds You

Epilogue

"August why are you doing this to me? You promised". Dahlia whispered softly her heart was shattered into a million pieces, she never thought this day would ever come. Sure people break up all the time but she always thought it foreign to her relationship. Obviously, that wouldn't be her in a million years because she had found the love of her life... August was the love of her life, Here he stood breaking her heart with his words. How did things become this way, what had she done wrong, what had she said wrong? " Dahlia... I'm so sorry," August said softly. Dahlia was so heartbroken that the fury and rage she was accustomed to feeling had deserted her. All that was left was the nasty feeling of grief, loss, heartbreak and fear. "you're sorry" Dahlia repeated emotionlessly. "August why would you promise me the world and take it all back in a heartbeat? I know we've only been together for a year but we were planning a future, we were going to get married and have 2 kids, a cat and a dog, and live off the grid... we planned to be happy together August. You promised me we would always work things out, you assured me we were meant to be together and now you're here, telling me you fell out of love with me" she let out a little laugh her hands covering her face. "Did I do anything wrong?" she asked this time her voice was stoic she got up from the floor she had sunk to earlier and was wiping her tears. "Of course not Dahlia" August said walking towards her. "stop don't come near me I only asked you a question. If I did no wrong I'll be able to walk away with my conscience free. So I'm asking you again did I do anything wrong?" She asked rather sternly. August was confused, how could she make such a switch? "No I just can't be with you anymore." August said looking away, her piercing stare expecting an answer that made him nervous for some reason. "Good then have a great life, I'm not gonna act like I wish you the best because I don't. I despise you this very moment for what you're doing to me but hopefully, one day I'll look back and feel nothing or maybe laugh. I know this will pass it just sucks right now. Don't call me I have no desire to keep in contact with you, if you want your clothes back follow me back to my place and grab them now otherwise I'll trash them". Dahlia said as she collected her things from the floor. Breaking up after a date has to be the most distasteful way to end a relationship. "c'mon Dahlia you don't need to give them back I gave those to you" August said rubbing his face. Dahlia looked at him her eyes now blazing with the fury that seemed to have abandoned her earlier and she let out a laugh. "Are you stupid or just crazy? why would I want to keep your clothes the sentiments for keeping them in the first place are no longer there so why would I want to keep them? if you don't want them that's fine by me." She said, walking towards the door. "Goodbye August." she said finally without looking at him and left.

When she got to her apartment she released her locs from the tight bun she had pulled them into and she cried, she cried like she had never before the feeling of loss and grief were just too much, she hated this. She played by the book, gave him respect, told him her viewpoints on life to avoid any such conflicts, she took her time to analyze her feelings the green flags were green so how could he tell her he had fallen out of love with her when he wanted her so much and only after a year?! The only thing she could find comfort in was the fact that he had explicitly said it wasn't her fault. She cried herself to sleep, she had never been this grateful for the weekend because she was in no shape or form to return to work.
