It was always you

Prologue

Staring at the girl in the mirror, I couldn't understand how she ended up in this situation.

Her once happy bright green eyes were now swollen and lifeless. Her ghostly pale face made her dark purple bags stand out, her sleepless nights taking a toll on her.

Slightly turning to the side, she started inspecting her half naked body. Her usual fit yet curvy body has now sharp bones sticking out, doing no good to her small figure.

" What have i been doing to myself? " she murmures to herself.

Lost in her thoughts she took her brush and unconsciously started passing it through her long straight brunette hair.

" Thomas used to love my hair... " I thought solemnly.

A knock on the door suddenly snapped the girl in the mirror out of her thoughts.

"  Emilie? Is everything okay, ma chérie? " she heard the soft confused voice of her mother.

"  Oui maman, I will be out soon. " I replied as I turned around and faced the door. I heard my mother sigh and softly walk away.

I turned back around and faced the girl again, putting the brush away I started taking the remaining of my clothes off. I slowly padded to the tub and turned the tap on. As it started filling up with warm water, I added some of my favorite vanilla scented soap.

Once I stepped into the water I felt my muscles loosen up, took a calming breath and let my thoughts wander off to what has been happening in the last overwhelming year and a half.

Only two years ago, had I been drinking hot coffee with the love of my life at our favorite small café in the center of Bordeaux, in our french hometown. I can still clearly remember the way he used to look at me, like I was the center of his world while planning our beautiful future. His deep laugh still echoes in my ears. His mesmerizing grey eyes would always captive me.

" Why did you leave me Thomas? " I asked to myself as a tear slid off my eye slowly, I quickly wiped it off with the back of my hand and tried to get myself back together.

" Enough is enough Em! It's been a year now, you have to start moving on! " I thought.

Thomas's death had completely changed my life to the worse, I can still remember when I got to know about the devastating news from the hospital, his friend, Victor, and him had been gone to this big party for their company and I had out of laziness, declined to go with them preferring a night with Netflix.

They had drunk a bit too much and burned a red light. What they didn't notice in their drunken state was a truck coming from the opposite way and colliding with their car. They had both been immediately taken to the hospital, severely injured.

Victor had gotten a couple of broken ribs that thankfully did not puncture his lungs, a broken arm and a mild concussion. Thomas on the other hand had not been so lucky as he was sitting on the side where the truck had hit the car.

The high speed collision had his head struck against the windshield, it had caused him a traumatic brain injury and a spinal cord damage. He stayed in the state of coma for 12 days exactly and I hadn't left his side once hoping for any kind of recovery, I knew that I was treading on a fine thread with my dear life but I just couldn't let him go.

12th of November was the day that I lost my life, my Thomas.
