Nadi wipes away the tears that rapidly cascade down her caramel cheeks with the back of her left hand. Her right, occupied by her house keys that her dainty fingers wrap around- instruments used to chip away at the vehicle's onyx foundation. Each stroke held the weight of her broken heart that seemed to fuel her vindictive actions. Silvester's vehicle now holding the evidence of the vast pain that squeezed her heart nearly as tight as her fingers around the silver within her hand.
His driver door that was once smooth and shiny now left with rigid letters that spelled out the word asshole in all caps. Nadi rids more of her tears as she now stands upright and stares at the only word she could address him by.
Feeling nothing but betrayal, her small wails linger throughout the large and quiet parking garage- bouncing off the concrete walls, finding their way back to her like a relentless shockwave. She still couldn't believe what she heard, she was hoping that maybe she was experiencing a sick dream that she was trapped in, unable to wake up from. However, as much as she wished for that to be she knew that she was awake experiencing a pain she wouldn't wish on her worst enemy.

Nadi's bloodshot eyes stare into space as tears roll down her redden cheeks. Her world seemed to be crumbling right around her brick by brick leaving her breathless. She was still trying to understand how she even reached this point. How Silvester could break her heart into a million pieces in a matter of seconds. It disgusted her to know that he had been with another woman around the same time he was with her and the fact that there was a chance she herself could be infected with an incurable disease resulted in more tears spewing from her eyes.
After vandalizing Silvester's vehicle she found it best to seek solace in her best friend, Sloane. Her head now rested in her lap as the pain of her heart paralyzed her. Sloane's full lips hold a frown as the tips of her fingers brush along Nadi's chocolate curls.
She hated seeing Nadi like this because once she allowed herself to fully feel her emotions they seemed to consume her, pulling her deep into her sorrow to the point she became unreachable. Her heart hurt for her best friend, she was hoping that she'd never have to reach this point ever again and was confident that she wouldn't by the way Nadi spoke so highly of Silvester; the way her face lit up every time she said his name led Sloane to believe that she had found the right man after falling victim to previous ones who sought out for one thing and one thing only.
She was sure that he would handle her with care and even though she had yet to formally meet him she knew he would, but now she was questioning everything just like Nadi. 'At the end of the day you did the best that you could, learn from it and move on." She speaks as the back of her fingers rid the tears from Nadi's soaked cheek.
