"You murdered every part of me,
I still have the broken pieces of myself,
Lighting up like stars,
But I'm thankful to you for the wounds you gave me,
And the damage that you caused,
Because that will make me stronger,
And give me the strength,
To cover my scars."

Luke's POV:

She abused me. I couldn't believe that my rose could ever do that. I never wanted to push her to the stage where she would have to do something so awful. I knew she wouldn't have ever said that but I pushed her to that level.

I decided that I would never try to reach her. But I didn't even do anything. It was Henry who wanted us to get back together. But why? 

I unbolted my phone and dialed Zhenya's number. I called her and she picked up right away.

"Sup Lukie?"

"Rosie abused me. And you know who told me. Henry. Remember him?"

"Yeah I do but did she actually do that? How are you so sure?"

"Henry sent me a screenshot of the chat. He talked to her like several more times and she abuses me in almost every chat."

"I can't believe Rosie did that. She has changed a lot."

"Why are you saying that? You should know everything about her you're her best friend?"

"Come on. We don't even talk now. She stays with Amy most of the times. Maybe she is influenced by her company."

"Is Amy a bad influence on people? I mean isn't she a good girl, as she seems?"

"Not at all. And I don't know if you'll agree to it but Rosie is one of the same kind."

"God ,Zhenya. I know what she's like and I love her. I really miss her next to me. I need her."

"You need to get used to of it. Search for other people who dearly love you."

"I know she loves me."

"Ughh, except her."

"Why are you so irritated."

"Why do you always end up telling me how much you love her?"

"Cus I do and you're my best friend."

"Fine. But other people love you too. Just search for them with your mind open and accept them with an open heart."

And she hung up. Rosie and everything about her irritated Zhenya a lot. She told me that Rosie hangs out with Amy more and I just wanted to know if she's okay. I decided to contact Amy somehow and befriend her. I though maybe that would help me to know if Rosie wasn't going on the wrong track.

Rosie's POV:

July 09th. It was my little brother's birthday. I baked a cake myself and invited Amy over. I missed Andrea. I just wished that she was in the same state as me then we would be able to have fun together. She had always been so supportive to me and I knew that she was mature enough to advice me the right thing. She advised me to leave Luke and maybe I was not sensible enough to see if she was right.

Me and Amy were having a gossip session when all of a sudden my phone beeped. It was Zhenya's call. I didn't want to talk to her at all but I still chose to pick up the call.

"Hi Zhenn!"

"Just shut up."

"What's wrong?"

"You hurted Luke so much. Don't you have feelings? Why are you being such a bitch? Are you heartless or what?" Zhenya yelled agressively.

"Calm down. Are you okay? "

"Just shut the F up Rosie. You hurted Luke so much. He's such a nice guy but you don't deserve him. Now Luke is mine, now you sit back and watch how I protect him."

"Zhenya! He's my ex and you're my best friend."

"I don't give a damn about a girl who's so selfish!"

"You can't do this to me!"

"Just watch me do this, girl."

She hung up. I remained there, shocked and trembling. Upset and worried. I couldn't understand what was up with her. I told Amy each and everything and she just advised me to remain silent about it.

She consoled me that things would get better but all I knew was that Zhenya was trying to attract Luke towards herself and that was unbearable for me. I couldn't tolerate him loving somebody else and that was the moment when I realised that he was the only person I needed.

I felt like my whole world was falling apart. I was losing everything. Before, I used to think that Luke only loved me but I couldn't see anybody else replace me in his life.
Amy returned home that evening after consoling me that things would be fine soon.

That night was the hardest one of my life. I couldn't bare the pain. My best friend was doing that all to me. I couldn't believe how she changed so much.

The next morning, I woke up with fever and headache due to over stressing my brain. I got up and went to the bathroom. I stood infront of the mirror, glaring at myself. Looking into my own eyes, feeling how heavy my heart felt. I was guilty. That guilt of hurting a person who loved me so much, that guilt just killed me. I felt like I was the worst person on earth for leaving a person who was worth loving and caring for.

I began hating myself. That hate for myself made me want to end my existence. All the memories flashed into my brain and I bursted into tears. I cried. Not because I was hurt but because I hurted him. I loved him and all I was supposed to do was to not give up on him no matter how hard the situation got. No matter how much our families were against us, no matter how hard it was to fight for that relationship. I wasn't supposed to give up on us. That regret made me fall apart so bad.

That day I realised that you make decisions, decisions that you think would make you happy and peaceful without thinking how much your  decision could hurt the next person. We leave that person alone, broken. We assume that person will be fine after a while just because in that moment, your decision makes you happy. But later, seeing that person suffer and later becoming a better person without you, leaves you in regret. That regret tortures you, haunts you in the darkest nights and then there is no way back. It then feels like you've lost something too precious. Something that you were supposed to care for but you threw it away like it was trash.

Honest and truthful people are very hard to find. If somebody depends on you, emotionally or mentally, you're pretty lucky to have that person because once that person leaves, those feelings would never come back. The good memories would become a torture for you but that person who you tortured before would be in peace and at that time, you'll be the one suffering. You'll be the one regretting for all what you did.

Giving up on somebody you love is the worst mistake. Giving up on a relationship worth keeping is something only a fool would do, and I felt like that fool at that time.

So Rosie has realised her mistake finally, thanks to Zhen. Keep reading guys. I hope this story becomes an inspiration for some of you because real people are really hard to find in this cruel world. You never know who is fake and who is just good to your face, so never lose people who actually love you because once you lose them, all you'll be left with is guilt and regret and maybe after that, you won't get the same person ever again. So keep the one who love you, close to you and give them all the love they deserve. Ignoring all the flaws and all the problems you'll have to face with them because when you love someone, you don't leave them alone. Suffering and being tortured by others. You stay there to protect them and help them grow.

Happy Reading. :)
