Prologue

"Why?, how could you do this to me?" The girl said with swollen eyes and a hoarse voice. Her cheeks sticky because of the dried tear marks.

Struggling to wipe them off but only to be covered with new ones. As she starred at the ravennette in front of her.

She was barely standing, her legs shaking with fear. The sight she had witnessed in front of her was too much.

The love of her life, kissing and touching another woman saying things she hadn't heard him say to her in months, and in their home nonetheless. Her doubts proved to be correct, the evidence in front of her.

She couldnt handle it anymore, the lies he spat, the girl still laying in shock on the bed, the way he tried to make up excuses. She couldn't handle it anymore.

So she said everything she's been keeping bottled up inside. "I've had it, I've had enough of your lies. Ive had enough of the way you've been treating me. I've had enough, let's end this"

She spoke, barely containing herself as tears poured down her pale skin. With legs shaking, she exited the house.

The man tried to catch her but when he went outside she was no longer there. She had vanished.

But before the house could leave the girls line of sight she took one last look back. Staring off into the building.

She had noticed the man standing outside, not yet seeing her. As the man walked back to their home she stopped holding her ground and finally collapsed.

She cried the tears she couldnt cry earlier. She shouted all the words she couldnt say. Staring into a home that's nothing but a distant memory to her.

The home they dreamed of, now seemed so foreign to her. From a distance it would just seem like a normal place.

A normal home, not a place of shattered hopes and dreams. Not a place whom a womans heart was broken and so was years of love.

Not a place where a man cheated on his beloved, just normal. So, with all the strength she had left she stood up and walked away.

Leaving the home they had dreamed of, and the love they created. And so with her last thoughts she left, tears streaming down her face as she tried to smile.

Time passed by, days turned into months and those quickly turned into a year. She could not handle anymore.

The anxiety she had, and the depression he gave her. Insomnia attacking her every night. She couldn't live like that anymore.

Crying every day as thoughts of him filled and lingered in her mind, she decided to end everything.

As she slowly climbed the chair and put the rope around her neck, she remembered how much she loved him. Starring into her so called home even if it was so gloomy.

She smiled, it wasnt a happy one nor sad. She felt genuinely relaxed as the miserable life she had been leading has nearly ended.

As a tear grazed down her cheek she smiled one last time. She kicked the chair down, hanging herself. As time quickly passed by she could feel her supply of air depleting.

After a few more moments of suffering her sight filled with black as she gasped for air with her last bits of  forcely mustered strength, she said her last words practically choking them out.

"Goodbye my dear, I hope you live happily. Not like me who has suffered because of our relationship."

After she said those words all her strength vanished. She was now hanging lifelessly above the ground.

Her so called home filled with darkness and negativity. But in the midst of that, her unconscious body smiled.

Because everything was over and she could finally rest. No longer bothered by him nor life. She was feeling happy for once after so long.

But before we mark this story's end, let's see how it started and came to be.
