Prologue
Everyone has their fair share of storms in their lives. Some tolerable, some not so. Some even had the capacity to ruin someone's life, sweeping away all the good memories and leaving only pain and loss and suffering behind.
For her, it all started when she saw him with another girl doing something really unimaginable.
It was one of those lazy days wherein a person would never expect anything spectacular to happen. But, in this case, something did happen.
It so happens that, on the twenty - sixth day of June that summer of 2013, Levi Ackerman had entirely forgotten about her birthday. Well, it wouldn't be so bad but, he had also forgotten that it was also their anniversary. The second anniversary, in fact, since he proposed to marry her.
With the sapphire - studded engagement ring on her finger and his favorite meal on a simple lunchbox, she made her way towards the place where he worked. She sped past his colleagues, who waved and greeted at her, and made her way to that same door. She was really eager to surprise him.
With longing eyes and wildly beating heart, she opened the door,...
... and felt her world fall apart as she saw him do that irrevocable thing with a woman who she trusted and considered as a very close friend for years.
Her eyes widened, her heart felt like it stopped beating. The two sinners haven't even noticed that she opened the door, until she dropped the lunchbox on the floor with a disturbing sound.
The contents of the box dirtied the floor,...
... and so did the two who did the same with the desk, but it was too late.
She saw the two as they both reached their climax.
And only then did the two look at her with such wild and satisfied eyes.
"Levi." She whispered, unbelievable pain tearing her heart and soul apart. "Why?"
He just looked at her as he hesitantly pulled out of that gingerhead.
"Oh, it's you, (F/N)!" The gingerhead said and smiled sarcastically. "Sorry, I forgot to introduce you. This is Levi, my fiance'. We're getting married!"
And she said all of that like she didn't already know that he was supposed to be engaged to (F/N) and not to her.
Tongue - tied and hurt beyond repair, she tried to walk towards the two of them and hurt them beyond recognition, but, alas, she couldn't.
Instead, her stupid tears began falling down her face.
And, as if it wasn't enough, the man she loved for ten years finally spoke to her.
"Get out, (F/N)." He simply said. "I don't need you anymore."
"Levi, tell me it's all a joke, please." She pleaded like the nice person she was.
But, the gingerhead just laughed at her. "Are you fucking blind, or something?! It's over, (F/N)! Levi loves me, and only me!"
"He doesn't love you!" She screamed, then she looked at Levi once more. "Levi, please!"
"Don't be stupid, (F/N)." He answered. "She gave me everything I ever wanted. You didn't. Now, go away and never go back here."
"You heard him," The gingerhead added. "Now, go and - " But, she was interrupted as Levi pulled her in his arms and started kissing her with the intention of exactly doing the deed right in front of (F/N).
And before he could even enter the other woman once more with such vicious hunger like that of a wolf's, she covered her mouth, turned away, and got out of the room as silently as she could.
Part of her wanted to scream at his friends, wanting them to drag the man out of his office, but part of her, which was slowly dying by the second, still respected the man that he was that she made a huge effort not to show any of her emotions to the curious ones who looked at her with utter worry.
She went home, defeated and weary, wanting to drown herself in misery, when another storm hit her and left her in utter ruins.
She stared in disbelief as some unknown men worked their way in the house that she and Levi shared, taking out all of her belongings and practically throwing them outside. She tried to call their attention, but was shocked upon finding out that they were also carrying boxes inside, like someone was already moving in.
That's it. That was the last straw.
With her mind full of those last painful memories and her heart full of those happy times they were still together, she walked and walked and walked. The sun had already set, but she continued to walk.
Until she reached that lake that she had not seen before.
She didn't have enough time and enough room in both her head and her heart to analyze when she had seen that particular lake, but it seemed to call unto her. She stared at its gleaming waters, its gentle waves splashing to her feet.
The moon was already high above the sky. The stars are out and the atmosphere felt really peaceful.
The waters called unto her once more and she looked at it.
Ah. Perhaps she was getting quite mad. She knew this as she heard her name being called once more. She took a step forward, and the waters seemed to welcome her with open arms.
She took a few more steps, until she was already waist - deep in the waters.
She took another step, and she was suddenly chest - deep into it.
