Ghost City

"I'm sorry," I apologized as I watched her break down even more. There was a pang in my chest as I stared at her.

Fiore. I took a beautiful flower and crushed all of its petals.

Not being able to bare the sight of her being so broken, I stood from the bed and walked to the door before hitting the lights.

"You should get some sleep," I suggested as I turned my back to her and Aurora and left the room. I then went into the now empty living room and spread out on one of the long sofas. Despite how comfy the sofa was, I knew I wouldn't be getting much sleep tonight. All I could think about was the sight of Sagacity being so hurt by what I had done. I had made her a promise that the next time she'd cry, it would be from being happy. I broke that promise. I even broke her heart, and that was the last thing I had ever wanted to do.

Whatever consequences I had to face was well deserved. I didn't deserve Sagacity, and she didn't deserve my ill treatment. If she wanted nothing to do with me, I would have to accept that, despite how hard letting her go would be.

I had made my bed, and I alone would lay in it.
