"There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go."

-----Chapter One-----

“No, please, please stop! It’s not what you think”

I was standing there pathetically, putting out every emotion I could find within in me. He turned back, his eyes piercing into mine, “Isn’t that what they all say Autumn?”

I ran forward and grabbed his arm and he looked down at it in disgust, “I promise it’s not!”

Tears streamed down my face as I rattled my brain, thinking of what to say to make him stay. “Don’t go! Let me explain!”

He stood in front of me, looking down at me with tears threatening to fall from his beautiful eyes. “There is nothing you can say, you lied about everything. I don’t want to look at your face let alone hear your voice speak anymore lies to me.”

I stood there stunned, my mouth hanging stupidly. I whispered just loud enough for him to hear, “But, I- I- I-“

“You what?” He hissed with venom in his voice.

I looked down at my feet, “I love you.”

He laughed with no humor, “Like hell you do.”

I watched the man that I loved, adored, and would give anything for, the one that had saved me from myself, turn his back on me and walk away.

And I knew deep down, he wasn’t coming back.

There was a voice behind me and I remembered the other person there with me, who had witnessed it all. His voice clear of any emotion met my ears, “You love him?”

I sank to me knees and replied with a “Yes” not caring anymore.

“Well, that clears things up real nice.” I turned to watch him stare at me, with emotionless eyes though I knew I had hurt him just as much as the other one.

I whispered, “I’m sorry.” He shook his head and ran his head through his dark hair, “You have embarrassed me, and I feel very stupid. So if there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

I hung my head, my dark brown hair covering my face. There was nothing else to be said. I couldn’t fix this, with either of them.

His footsteps started then got fainter in the distance and I knew I was alone, so alone. Whispering, my voice barely audible, “Mom. I screwed up. I screwed everything up. And now I’m alone.”

Months Earlier:

I could barely see through my tears as I ran through the hospital doors. The glowing sign marked Emergency Department hung high above the sliding glass that I had just burst through. “Can I help you miss?”
