Lucy and Troian's House

Some people say that love was the strongest thing on this planet - that it was caused of most deaths and success. Love was a strong word and these days, it somewhat meant nothing; well that's what she thought. She was a strong believer and only had said the 'L' word to those she actually did love. Through high school, she was never to date - she kept to herself; and being the girl she was, she thought it'd be the same through college.

Oh, how wrong she was.

Now there she sat, her back pressed against the headboard as her blurry gaze was fixed on the wooden framed door. Tears had been streaming down her cheeks since the moment she woke up and she didn't know why. It had been exactly a month and she still couldn't get over it and felt terribly sick of it.

She brought her knees up against her chest and snaked her arms around herself as she continued to cry silently; horrible past events flooding her mind. She wondered why she let some brat who abused his parents' money get to her, she wondered why she couldn't had just ignored him the first day she met him. Curse his charming looks! She still couldn't believe she let him into her life so easily and now look where she is, in a bed at her sister's place - crying her eyes out. She should've been in her designing class by now pursuing her dreams but instead, she's crying over some arsehole who she gave everything to but wouldn't even rebel against his parents' wishes. Stupid senator's kid, she thought.

She placed a hand on her cold wet cheek and wiped the tear that silently rolled down, a sob emitting from her lips. She didn't know what was bad, her letting him just walk away or letting him get to her. She felt stupid - she was stupid, to some people. She had a bright future ahead of her and yet, she decided to fall for someone who it was impossible to be with. She is after all, some poor girl who got into a high respected college by a miracle. 

Well, you couldn't really blame her for falling for someone. He was just an ordinary college student to her when she had first met him. He didn't tell her and she wasn't even sure whether he was planning to tell her or not but that didn't matter anymore. They were no longer together, right? She just wonders why he had told her at the last minute. Maybe he figured that people were slowly figuring out his identity and he had wanted to tell her before the news had spreaded around campus and reached her but either way, he had left her. They wouldn't have worked, he was too rich. When he had left her, she didn't know why. All he said was that it wouldn't work. How did she find out, you may ask. Well, through the morning paper of course and it crushed her. It crushed her until she felt numb, until her heart was shattered into pieces on the floor.

A week after they had ended things, well he had ended things - she had came across the morning paper that her sister held in her hands during breakfast. The headlines had killed a part of her. He had left her for another girl and he didn't had the guts to tell her. He was a coward, but it didn't matter what he was. He was gone.

And so was she.

Troian didn't know what to do anymore. She didn't know where to get help for her sister and it hurt her seeing her sister in her current condition. She sighed and brought the mug up near her lips and sipping in the hot coffee that the mug contained before placing it back down on the coffee table. She stared at the mug as she tried to think of possible ways to get her sister back and she didn't even realize her best friend bursting through the front door with a huge smile plastered across her face.
