Ava
"Ava, don't run," Jon pleaded with me.
"Why not?" I shot back.
"Because you didn't cause his death. He passed away from cancer. You're not to blame, Ava. Please, trust me."
"I'm a terrible doctor. I can't even help anyone. I need to quit this job; it's not where I belong," I confessed, tears welling in my eyes.
"You've got to be joking."
"No, Jon, I'm serious. If I stay here even a moment longer, I'll lose it."
"What about me?" Jon asked, his voice heavy with pain.
"This isn't about you. You still have your career, and you're a fantastic doctor. You won't need me anymore."
"You're so selfish, Ava. I told you I'd be there for you, but you're being foolish," he said, his tone dark.
"Fine, call me selfish." I met his whiskey-coloured gaze. "Goodbye. I hope you find success in your future."
I turned away and walked off before he could respond. Once Jonathan Michael was my boyfriend; now he was just my ex.
I didn't feel sad... I felt rage.
One thing about me is that I can't hide my emotions, so as I walked home, tears streamed down my face.
People stared as I passed, and I hated their eyes on me. For some reason, it felt overwhelming, and I couldn't stop crying.
"Am I a terrible person?"
"Do I deserve this kind of treatment from the world?"
My house was only a 15-minute walk from the hospital, but it felt like I had been walking for ages.
Every person I passed looked at me with pity, and I despised it.
As I rummaged through my bag for a tissue, I suddenly collided with something solid.
