I wanted to incorporate a song into this and Haunted - Taylor's Version, was the first one that popped into my head because the lyrics instantly gave me ideas - enjoy!
────────── •✧✧• ──────────
For the last three years, you've given Colby everything you had to offer. All of your love, time, effort. He got it all. You spent each free moment you had with each other. Went to sleep together. Woke up together. Had breakfast, lunch, dinner together.
Everything. You didn't think you'd ever live to see what you had with him break.
You were so blindsided by the breakup, that when it happened, it sent you through all the stages of grief.
Denial - For weeks, you kept telling yourself it's not over. There's no way it's over. He's not gone, he can't be gone. Telling yourself, your closest friends that he just needs a break, he'll come back. There's no way he won't come back. You couldn't wrap your mind around the fact that three years was just gone, like it didn't matter. You kept texting him, asking him to talk more about why he did it, asking him if it's really over, and you just got the same response back, silence. That then pushed you into the second stage of grief.
Anger - You were angry that he didn't answer. Angry that he didn't give you any closure that you felt like you desperately needed. Angry that he could just drop you like you meant nothing. You let him hear it, too. Even if he didn't respond, you gave him a peace of your mind. You ultimately moved into being angry with yourself, wondering if you could have put up a harder fight for him, and that led you into the third stage.
Bargaining - You became sad all over again, rethinking everything. You kept thinking, what if I had done more and what if we're only meant to be just friends. You thought you had it all figure out, him all figured out. If you just give him time he'll come back. But, over time, you felt a huge sense of guiltiness wash over and drown you in his place, leading you into the fourth stage.
Depression - You haven't left your house in few weeks. Ordered in. Rotted on the couch and in your bed. It took your best friend coming over to tell you that you needed a shower for you to actually get up and get one. You were drowning, feeling like something's gone terribly wrong. You felt like you had been shattered into a million tiny pieces, and no matter how much 'glue' you had, nothing made them stick together. Just when you thought you were getting better, you fell apart all over again. Wanting to text him, talk to him, hear his voice, but knowing he wouldn't even give you that, hurt you even more. Eventually, with the help of your friends and their pep talks, you gradually floated into the final stage.
