I woke up with tears on my cheeks. Was I crying last night? If so who was I crying about. I needed some air, I was getting a headache just thinking about it. I got out of bed and hobbled downstairs and into the living room. When I got downstairs I see everything is broken, thrown around, smashed, and shattered. But the thing that killed me the most was Tristen laying on the ground sleeping. His eyes were red and puffy. Was he crying because of me last night. Everything was coming back to me now. Tristen and I got into a fight. He left me alone in my room and when I was going to bed I heard banging going on downstairs.

He looked so peaceful sleeping on the ground. Like nothing could bother him. I wish I didn't cause him pain last night. I just feel guilty imaging him in pain. Walking over to him was hard because I felt the pit of my stomach ache from seeing him like this. I grabbed some blankets and a pillow for him. I gently lift up his head and slide the pillow underneath. Lay the blanket on top of him. Then I sit down and watch him sleep. I know it may sound weird but it felt right for me.

I kiss him hand and slowly get up. I walk away from him and head upstairs to pack my things. I can't stay here anymore seeing him like this. It is just to much for me to handle. If Jake finds me so be it. I just can't cause Tristen anymore pain. I quickly pack my things and walk back downstairs. I leave a note for Tristen explaining everything. I take one final look at Tristen and walk out into the cold. I'll miss you Tristen.

--------------------------------------------

Tristen's POV:

I remember everything from last. I got mad at Kyndall and left her in the room all alone. I slammed the door shut and when I was walking away I heard her crying. God damn it I always cause her so much pain. I started throwing everything in sight and ended up sleeping on the floor. I was crying because of all the pain I was causing.

I woke up with a pillow and blanket that I know I didn't sleep with last night. I get up and head upstairs to apologize to Kyndall. But when I got upstairs she wasn't there. So looked everywhere in the house for her. I came across and note on the dinning room table.

Tristen:

I'm sorry I caused you so much pain. I didn't mean to it was just when you left me alone last night. I fell asleep crying knowing how much pain I caused you. I'm so sorry for everything I did wrong. And knowing everything I did I want away. I'm sorry I just couldn't do it anymore. I left this morning when I saw in so much pain. I don't know where I'm going but thank you for everything. And don't worry I have my cruches with me. I will be fine. Forget about me Tristen. It is for the best?
-Kyndall

She left me. She really left me. This is all my fault that she left. I should have told her I love her a lot more than I did. Spent every single minute with her. But now I lost her and I don't know if I can get her back.

I began throwing things around, making the place even more of a mess. I can't believe I lost her. I lost her and it's all my fault. Getting her back is going to be so much harder.

Knock Knock

I walk over to the door, "Look Kyndall-"

"Hello Tristen." Jake. What is he doing here? "I thought I might tell you a little secret." he smirked.

"And what might that be?" He moved out of the way and what I saw is something I never would forget. "Kyndall?" I see Kyndall with a beat up face. Two guys.holding her arms up because she couldn't stand.

"You see what we have here. The girl I have been wanting for so long. The girl we are both fighting for. The thing is that she is in my possession." He walked over to her and lifted up her chin. "But the one thing I can't get over is she is not in love with me anymore." He starts moving her chin back and forth.

"Then who does she love?"

"Why doesn't she answer that question herself."

I looked at her. Her face still beaten up. Clothes that are ripped. "I love you Tristen!" she said looking at me.

I smiled at her but then Jake slapped her. "You see that is the problem. She doesn't love me. She loves you and that doesn't work well in my book. To the relationship between her and I work out she has to love me. But she doesn't love me. The only thing I can do to make her love me is killing the one thing she loves. And my dear friend that would be you."

"No you can't!" Kyndall yelled but was shut up by Jake slapping her.

"Oh but I can. Tristen you took something I love and now I am going to take something you love."

"The thing is Jake you can't take something I love away from me. Because no matter how hard you try to take something they will always come back. And the thing about love is that it will always come back one way or another. So you can try and take something I love away from me but she will always be here. My heart only belongs to her and only her."

Her head popped up to look at me, "You love me?"

"I always have Kyndall. I'm sorry I wasn't there to keep you safe. But just know my heart only belongs to you and only you. I love you with everything Kyndall and don't forget that-

BANG!

"Noooo!" I hear Kyndall yelling. "Tristen can you hear me? Please wake up. I can't live without you. Please Tristen. I love you. I amhave always loved you. Please Tristen just wake up."

"It's time to go!" I hear Jake say.

"No! Please wake up. Tristen help me. Tristen-" last thing I heard until blackness took over me.
