Storm Lyn's Point of View 

Bon Jour

I find solace in watching sunsets, especially at our village's French Cuisine. This place has been my refuge through thick and thin. Its familiar scents and homey comforts bring me peace.

"Is that your boyfriend?" My sister's voice snaps me back to reality

Confused, I glance in the direction she's pointing and see Tyler, my boyfriend, chatting and laughing with a blonde girl.

"He's with a girl"

"Well, maybe she's a friend or a classmate, he told me a while ago he's going to meet someone" I informed her while looking at Tyler

"Careful sis"

"Oh c'mon, I trust him, okay?" I assured her

"Yeah right, trust"

"You were saying?"

I trust Tyler, but doubts creep in as I watch them interact. Despite my doubts, I defend Tyler's innocence.

My sister insists I should confront them, but I dismiss her advice. Suddenly, I see Tyler and the blonde sharing a sweet kiss. Shocked and hurt, I grab my bag and walk away.

My sister chases after me, calling my name. I'm outraged by Tyler's betrayal. 

Today marks our 6th anniversary and my 24th birthday. I feel betrayed, considering how much I trusted and loved him. 

At my grandpa's house, I retreat to my room, locking the door. Feeling overwhelmed, I cry and vent my frustration. My sister unexpectedly barges in with spare keys, trying to comfort me. 

She urges me to let go of Tyler, who she harshly refers to as a "dimbulb donkey rathead." 

I'm defensive, not wanting her to insult him.

My sister tells me to get over him and not dwell in my room. Despite her harsh words, she cares about me. She wants to help me move forward. 

I pretend to be sleepy to avoid further discussion.

She persists, insisting we should teach Tyler a lesson. I reluctantly agree. I appreciate her support, even though her approach is forceful. I close my eyes, hoping for peace.

Unexpectedly, Tyler appears, and our emotions collide. 

He refers to me as his queen, and I realised he truly loves me. My heart softens, and I reciprocate, acknowledging him as the king of my life. 

We share a tender moment, and my sister's shout snaps me back to reality.

My sister is right in front of me, annoyed that I'm lost in thought again. She chides me for spacing out over Tyler. I contemplate how love can make one vulnerable and emotional.

My sister leaves in frustration, questioning why she slapped me. She literally slapped me when she noticed I was blacking out. 

In the end I acknowledge her anger and reflect on my feelings. I recognised that betrayal is a painful experience that's hard to comprehend until you've experienced it.
