I had finally fallen asleep after my breakdown and it was something I really needed. I can't remember the last time I was able to have a proper rest, without having any interruptions. I pull myself up as I grab the covers, pulling them closer to my body. My heart felt heavy, and I felt as though there was a black cloud just resting over my head. I checked my phone to see if Sebastian had answered my text but was disappointed to see that he hadn't, he had seen it though, which meant something at least.
My life was crumbling day by day, and it seemed like I was never going to catch a break. Everything happened so fast and all at once, and my life changed drastically in the past couple of months. I don't even recognize myself anymore. The only positive thing to come out of the past few months is Sebastian, but now he's gone too, so I have nothing left. He was my source of happiness and he made me feel so special, in more ways than I can explain and comprehend.
He was in my mind, always. He was probably on his honeymoon right now, enjoying his happily ever after with Kara and that made my heart ache. She didn't appreciate him and she didn't treat him right. He deserved so much better.
I sigh as I place my head back on my pillow, pulling the covers even closer to my cold body than before. Betty, who worked at my favourite boutique, was my rock. She kept me grounded and was the only one I could go and talk to about everything that's been going on. She just sits and listens and then gives me the best advice she can, she's like my grandmother and in the short time that I've gotten to know her I've become very fond of her, as she has with me too.
I force myself out of bed just so I could brush my hair and my teeth, before I go back into my bed and pull the covers over me again. I had no will or energy to do anything but stay in bed and sulk my life away. I was just about to clothes my eyes when I hear a knock on my door.
My heart skips a beat as I quietly get off my bed, slowly walking towards the door. I had placed the do not disturb sign on my door so who else could it be? I peek through the peephole but all I see is a black jacket. I leave the chain on the door but unlock it and open it until the chain stops the door from opening any further. I turn my head to see who it is as the person turns around to face me at the sound of the door opening.
My breath catches in my throat as my eyes widen, "Sebastian?", I whisper to myself as I unlock the chain from the door and open it completely. I rub my eyes to make sure I'm not hallucinating as I stare at him. It really was him. "Sebastian", I repeat again, but this time it comes out in a broken whisper, as my tired, burning eyes start to tear up. I don't give him a chance to say anything as I throw myself into his arms, sobs escaping my mouth. I grip onto him as if my life depended on it, not wanting to let him go.
