The air was whipping her long brown hair, making it difficult for her to see. She shivered and wrapped her coat more tightly around her. She knew she shouldn't be roaming outside alone and especially when there was a possibility of storm but she couldn't careless about it. What had she done to deserve it? She was left alone, accused of an act she had never committed. She had known that his love for her was fading, she had known this for last few months but she had never thought that along with his love his trust in her would also fade, that it would become so breakable that even slightest pressure could shatter it. The trees had began to rustle more, their leaves making sound that vaguely reminded her of her own messed up life. Despite the intense wind, fog covered the surroundings like a thick blanket and for a moment she wished that it could wrap itself around her and make all the pain go away. She never realized that she was in the middle of the road, she never saw the bright lights coming towards her, and all she felt was suddenly darkness as intense pain followed by numbness took over her. She could see that someone was holding her trying to shake her awake but she was done with everything, she was done with trying to make sense of her jumbled life. She felt a sense of calm pass over her as she closed her eyes and slipped into darkness

Jonathan had spent all his time after lunch, sitting in his room and going through the letters. The pale green bed sheet on his bed was now full of colorful letters. For years he had wished that he could know what was going on in Liza's mind and now that he knew he wished that he could forget it. Each letter brought along with it a new wave of love followed by ache in his heart.

Some letters had been particularly difficult for him like the one in which Liza had written about the time they had confessed love for each other. He still remembered clearly, they had been attending their friend's wedding and Liza was going on and on about how beautiful it was to be tied in the bond of marriage and how lucky their friends were to find true love when he had suddenly blurted out 'I love you' . As soon as he realized the words he had said he had flushed red. Liza had looked at him with wide eyes before smiling softly and saying "I know, I have known it for a long time". Then she had once again turned towards the couple. "You didn't say it back" he had said and she had replied with a chuckle "Love, I have said this to you every day. Every time we say good bye and you have said it back to me every single time". He had then realized that for past Seven months he had been telling her 'I Love you' everyday and she had been saying it back every time. He had become so used to telling her 'I love you' in his mind that he didn't even realize when he had started telling it to her out loud.

He was smiling at the memory and at the words written in the letter in his hand, when his cell phone rang. He cursed human race for creating annoying cell phones and picked it up. "What?" he barked to the person on other side of the phone. He was angry that the person had disturbed him and had brought him out from his happy memories, from his sweet reprieve only to expose him to harsh reality. "Jonathan , I sw-swear I tried to prot-t-ect her, I told her not to go , I told her that sh-she was n-not in correct state of mind I-I tried Jonathan I really did" sobbed Alice, her voice was hysterical and rough. She was crying and stumbling through the words so badly that he could hardly grasp them. Had it not been the desperateness in her voice or the fact that she was crying he would have snapped at her, he was still angry at her for saying that he was at fault not Liza. But something in her voice stopped him, and dread filled his veins "What happened Alice? Why are you crying?" he asked his voice was laced with panic, his mind was jumping to hundreds of terrible conclusions, the worst possible scenarios but what he heard next, had never even occurred to his mind because for him it was just not a possibility and though he was supposed to hate her he could not help but let out a cry of pain that filled his whole being as he heard the words "Liza was in a accident and she is not responding well"
