Ride With A NWA

Prologue : Don't Look Back

There he was. There she was. They both looked at me like deer in headlights.

I couldn't believe this. Everything that I had sacrificed, everything that I had worked hard for, everything that I had struggled for, it was crumbled and thrown away right in my face. 

"Nina, let me explain. Please." 

I couldn't even comprehend what was going on or who even spoke to me. My tear ducts filled tremendously to the point where my vision was nothing but a blob of colors. I started to hyperventilate, my heart slowed down... my body froze. I just stood there. 

Somebody grabbed my arm, I couldn't tell who. It was as if I was paralyzed and blind both at once; I could see everything but not process it, and I could physically feel but emotionally and mentally, I felt nothing. 

This somebody began to yank me as they noticed that I was dead in space. The yank knocked me back into reality. I now remember why I was put into this state in the first place. I looked at the hand that had grabbed my arm. 

It was him. 

I immediately grabbed my arm away. I slowly whispered, "I can't believe you."

I turned around and didn't look back. The room was silent and all you could hear was my sniffles, my heels, my car keys and the voices in my head crying hysterically. I reached for the doorknob and for an instant, I paused. I felt a strong urge to look back to get one last reassurance that what I had previously seen was actually happening. 

"Don't look back. Leave", The voice in my head said. 

I wiped my nose, twisted the knob and left. 

As the door slammed close behind me, I lost it. I fell to my knees on the concrete and felt the entire world crash down on me. 

I've just been cheated on.
