Tears In The Darkness

One

I know this. I know this. I know this.

I shoved my way through the rough crowd and out of the dingy club.

This is bad. I know this.

I walked across the alleyway.

Stop. Turn around.

"I can't," I whimpered as I dug through my purse.

Suddenly I saw Ben's eyes in my head. The image felt like a punch in the stomach, salt on an open wound. His gaze was shiny and brown. He pitied me. The pain returned and it etched every part of me. I had nothing, nothing. I finally got to my salvation. The reason I lived.

I ran away. With one stroke of a needle, I ran away.
