'Just like that, you turn your back,
I do everything you ask of me'

Blinking my eyes I slowly adjust to the sunlight shining through the window, softly rubbing my eye as I fully wake up.

Looking next to me my heart drops seeing the spot still empty, pulling myself up I stomach my disappointment softly sighing.

I woke up in a bed that wasn't mine but still felt like home to me, I had came by yesterday night to an empty apartment, not a soul to be found.

I laid down waiting for her to come home and eventually I dozed off, I didn't hear anything throughout the night and this morning it was still as quiet as it was when I first walked in.

I was blocked across all platforms and she wasn't even coming home, this was my second time coming here and finding the apartment empty.

It felt like she fell off the edge of the earth.

She wasn't even going outside, nowhere to be found on her friends stories. It was obvious she was purposely going out of her way to avoid me, unaware of how much she was hurting me in the process.

Walking out on me, on us, was far from the solution to her and maisens feud. As far as I was concerned we were a unit so despite maise's anger towards our relationship I was standing by her side, I hadn't spoken to him since that day to make it clear to him where I stood.

His overprotectiveness went too far this time and he needed to understand his actions were far from ok, threatening her life was completely unacceptable and disappointing, I couldn't even wrap my mind around his reasoning for possibly thinking that was ok.

And I couldn't wrap my mind around her reasoning for walking away, left me standing in the courtyard confused and hurt without a second glance.

It was so shocking and surprising because it was so unlike her to give up so easily, her calling it quits without a second thought disturbed my heart because I would've fought until the end of the world for her.

Would go against the whole world for her, for us.

I thought that sentiment was one we shared but I guess I was in a little deeper than she was, all the late night talks we shared spilling our feelings disappeared in a second and she turned her back on me like she never even had feelings.

Which I of course knew wasn't true, it just felt like that.

It was disheartening and I felt so drained towards the whole situation, I didn't want to keep our relationship in the dark but after how everything turned out it had me thinking maybe we should've waited a little longer.

Every fiber in my being hates that it played out this way, it was so unfair that I couldn't be in love in peace.

Everything else in my life was nearly perfect, I accomplished everything I dreamed, and then I find the only person I can imagine myself spending the rest of my life with and I can't have it.

My fairytale ending was ruined over childishness and ego, I couldn't help my feelings of resentment towards Maisen for his actions and how they imploded our relationship.
