I had finally found myself, or at least I thought I did. I had finally awoken from the midst that consumed my life. The air that I was now breathing in, was rough and unpleasant. As I stood still, I felt every sense of emotion fill my body.
I looked around the empty house. I had once called this place home, now it was nothing to me. There stood an abandoned house. One day, it just might mean something to somebody, but it would never be me. I walked back down the stairs as my mind consumed me. All that went through my mind, were the memories that I had created in this house. I looked at the wall and pictured the pictures that once hung. Everything was now so different, and sadly, I have been feeling like this for a long time.
I suddenly felt a pressure start to push against my chest. I wasn’t used to this feeling, but I remember feeling it before. Looking down at my left hand I saw the perfect engagement ring lying on my ring finger. For the first time, it ached to look at it.
I should be happy about this…right? Why wasn’t I happy? In less than a month I was going to marry my prince charming. We were going to be a happy couple at least that is what everyone said. People already called us the fairytale couple. On the outside, things appeared picture perfect…but there was something wrong.
Liam was a great guy, and he came from a great family. The moment I meet him, things immediately changed. He took me seriously, he treated me like a human. I mean, I know it seems cliché. When actors meet on set of a movie, they grow closer through the roles. I felt safe with him, he made me feel empowered. He says that he loves me, and I say it back. Whom am I to doubt that we aren’t lying to one another? I don’t know much about love, but I know that I am happy and safe with Liam.
After all, we were perfect together.
