"Hear my beating heart one last time "

************

Liam's POV

  You can't break me anymore, I'm already broken. I can't be put back together again, I'm just broke and that's that. How do you survive heartaches?

The look on her face when I let her go was heart renching, broken but relieved.

How could I live with pain I'd caused her, the hatred she'd received,  the bullying. It all became to much...I became to much. It's all my fault, I could have saved her earlier but I was selfish. I wanted to keep her in my grasp, my world, I wanted her to myself. I'd forgotten that in my world, in the circumstances I lived in you couldn't have privacy, fun, moments,  and worst of all you couldn't have love.

Love is what ruins it all. The people realize that your loved one is changing you, for the better or for worst, they can't take it. They must know, the have to know, what's on your mind,  do you love this person,  is it serious,  why this person, what about the hate can they handle that? Questions after questions,  they never stop.

The worst of it all is when you go to answer them and they twist your words, they've got there answer and you haven't even started to tell them yours. You mind goes nuts, what about my answer?  I thought you wanted it?  Oh, so we're having struggles in our relationship. Ok, I guess that's what the people wanted to hear. I understand. 

I take my journal and begin to write.

"All my crimes don't come close to the look on your face when I let you go....

Where do broken hearts go?"

"OK from the top Liam"

"You were tired of all the changes but love is always changing..."

"No, no, no! Liam what's wrong?" I shake my head, "I think we need a break."

"Fine, take Thirty everybody!"

I watch as everyone leaves and begin singing Ed Sheeran's song "I'm a Mess".

"See the flames inside my eyes, it burns so bright I wanna feel your love!" I strum the guitar harder as the tears began to fall.

"And though I've only caused you pain..."  My strums begin to slow as my arms get weaker and every bone in my body feels like jello.

"I'm in love with you, Alice Cadence"

The words replay in my mind over again, how could I just let her go like that?

Did I not love her enough?

What had I done wrong?

I take my last photo of her out of my pocket and smile.

She's beautiful.

How could I lose her?
