Together, they'd always been together. They were like family, an unbreakable bond. That's probably why it hurt more when he never looked at her the same way. Why it created this curling crunch in her stomach, knowing he would never love her.

Her eyes glistening at every glance, hanging on to every word he spoke. Unsettling, a word obsessed with those who are cruel because he knew. He knew she knew that's why it was torturous.

Yet that didn't prevent the insanity that reeked havoc inside her mind. It didn't stop the sensation of heartthrob when he touched her. It didn't stop him from ravishing​ her plain of existence.

Isolation.

The option seemed like a safe word.

Still as she watched stranded on her island, she didn't see her hollow structures cave in.  It was like her being was unattached; unplugged from the socket. Her lights gone out and now she stood there the emptiness peeling at her skin, grabbing at her legs and capturing her like a worn trophy item.

A leaf having to face the harsh reality.

"Still, i trust you"
