'What a terrible way to live. Where did I go wrong? One night determine our inevitable downfall and I couldn't accept the fact that there had been a feeling of the beginning of the end. How could I have been so niave to fall for your lies?'
So many thoughts and questions flooded my mind that I was unaware of my surroundings. Before my mind could process, my heart typed out the pleading message in some attempt to convince you that you were wrong. My phone lit up and your name flashed across the screen. I hadn't heard from you in a week. There was a feeling of impending doom. I was hesitant to open the message, and as soon as I read its contents, I knew then that I never should have opened it. The tears started flooding and the pills called my name.
'What a wonderful way to die,' I thought.Alone on a December night, with the painful reality of your words resonating in my soul.
I read the message over and over, trying to piece together the words mentally, to see if I had missed any detail or if I was losing my mind. My voice broke the silence as I read the message aloud to make sense of the obvious message. I couldn't bare to finish the sentence before I collapsed to the floor with the pillow drowning the screams. My body surged in panic and I didn't know how to breathe. I read the message one more time, just to imprint the message in my head.
"Hollie. I'm sorry. I cared about you, but I never loved you."
