"Michael I can't do this anymore!" I shouted as the tears flowed down my cheeks. I knew I looked like a raccoon with all the make up running down my face, but at this point I didn't care. "Rid, please don't do this! Please don't leave me" Michael's voice cracked and he started to cry as he pleaded with me. "I can't keep pretending I'm okay. I just can't. I'm so sorry Michael."
