an hour is a long time to be stuck in the rain.

yes, aden made mara wait in the rain. he was "getting supplies" but in reality, she knew he was probably hooking up with someone. he was probably dragging his own fingers over the skin of someone he hardly knew. she would probably be sweating, because even the slight touch of aden makes you like that. kissing each other roughly because intimacy was their escape from the harsh reality. the best part of all of this was that after sex, aden quickly forgot about his one-night stands.

still, it hurt her to know that someone she loved was doing this. everytime she even thought about this, a pain flashed across her chest so harsh that she crumbles. thoughts that it should have been her panting, wanting to escape reality, ran through her mind. but instead the girl was standing in the rain waiting for someone who will never fully come to her.

almost all of their best memories of them were clouded by doubt. doubt that mara had, i guess you would call insecurity. whenever she hung out with her best friend, thoughts surrounded her like crows. pecking and pecking, not stopping, even if you were on your knees begging for mercy. that's okay, mara thought. atleast you're his best friend. you still have a chance.

and mara will try. if aden's horrible behavior knocks her down, then so be it. i mean, she's used to it anyway. she will stand up tall and pretend her broken pieces have not become shattered.

it seemed as if no matter how many times aden broke her, she will always love him.

no matter how many times she may cry for him, mara will be there. of course she would. aden saved her, and now she has to repay him.
