Where love ends

1

CHAPTER ONE.

To understand everything, I need to go back to the beginning, go back to Gabriel ...

*

After him there were many questions that I remember asking myself, and among all those, I remember that there was one that weighed even more.

Why did I allow it?

I knew what I was getting into, in fact, I always knew. Still, I decided to throw myself off the cliff ... Did I really love him?, Was that love?

It was useless to build the thousand walls to protect myself precisely from him, because as soon as I saw his eyes, his smile, I knocked them down, going directly towards my weakness.

He was that exception that prompted me to throw myself blindfolded. I didn't care at all what I would find when I fell.

My mother always told me:

'' Dona, if you really love Gabriel, you fully bear everything for him; that's what love is about. You cannot leave it for a first mistake, because that is what relationships are full of ''

Loving him was really difficult.

We met as children at his cousin's party, who was my neighbor at the time. He was twelve years old; I still remember that he surprised me, because from the beginning I found him attractive.

It started out as innocent and ended as any malicious plan ends.

Evil.

I never thought I'd be so destroyed, or worse, understand it.

The word that most defined me: masochist.

He was a spider web, I was a spider. And even though I tried to run away, I was already entangled in it.

We used to hurt each other. We loved the way we lied to each other, also the cruel way we constantly hurt each other.

Although all of our wars were sick, it was what kept us satisfied.

I still remember the last words I said to him:

"We are going down a destructive path, it is time to turn our wheels in different directions." Gabriel was silent in front of me. His jaw was clenched, as was the vein in his forehead. "Let's go, Gabriel." Cold, silent tears ran down my face. I was accepting it, which, this was our final chapter. Still he remained silent, his breathing was rapid. "Say something," I raised my voice, overwhelmed and frustrated at the same time, "I'm giving up on you."

I felt my heart crumble as soon as I realized that this time it was real, because, in response, Gabriel just left the room, without saying anything.

Because that was the final chapter.

Author's note:

Despite being the first chapter, I feel an emptiness, as well as an immense desire to cry with this story.

Welcome to this story!

There is a part of me that hurts to write all this, but it is the case in many relationships today. And I decided to write something to understand those kinds of situations more and boom! came out: When love ends.

Ah, it's also my first story in English and I hope it's not my last. I only ask for support for those people who like history.
