The Perfect Story...

It had all started like the perfect Love Story for Sarah and Steven. They first met when they were only a few months old since their parents were neighbours. Sarah and Steven were practical raised as together and he was always like the big brother she never had. They played together, went to the same nursery school and elementary school. Until Sarah’s parent got divorced when she 10 years old and she moved away with her mother. She and Steven only saw each other on the Weekends, drifting more and more apart. She found new friends in the new Town and School and Steven found new friends as well. Sarah and Steven became more and more strangers to each other and barely saw or talked with each other.
When she was 17 Sarah spend her whole summer at her Grandma’s House and she and Steven started hanging out again and got closer to each other again. She never had so much fun since she moved away and it felt like in the old times when it just had been her and Steven. Sarah was hoping that this would never change and she was right...
Until her 18th Birthday. Sarah was giving a Party at her Grandma’s House with all the Neighbours and Steven came as well but not alone. He brought Cheryl with him, his girlfriend for almost 5 months now. Sarah was really sad and depressed and couldn’t really enjoy her birthday. She realized that she had fallen in love with her Best Friend without even noticing. And seeing that Steven was having a great time with his girlfriend on her 18th Birthday wasn’t helping to improve her mood. So Sarah forced herself to smile so that nobody would notice what was wrong with her.
Steven and Cheryl broke up only one month later but Sarah couldn’t find the courage to tell him about her feelings. She was afraid that he would reject her and that was the end of their new build up friendship. So Sarah ignored the butterflies in her stomach and tried not to blush when Steven was touching her. Everything was normal between them until Sarah was spending her day once again together with Steven but this time in his room. They were chatting and joking around. And then there was the moment which changed everything. Sarah was using Steven’s computer for a minute when he started to tickle her. She brushed his hands away but he didn’t give up. Quickly Sarah found herself on his bed, laughing and trying to kick him off but Steven kept on tickling her.
“Steven, stop.” Sarah almost screamed and placed her hand on his chest and pushed him.
“No way.” Steven replied smiling.
“Steven, please.” Sarah was begging already, still trying to push him off her body but he grabbed her around the wrist. They were looking at each other and before Sarah knew what was happening Steven leaned down and kissed her softly. She starred at him with open eyes.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done this.” Steven mumbled after he pulled away.
“I like you, Steven.” Sarah blurred out and smiled at him.
“You do?” Steven asked and sat up, “I like you too, Sarah.”
After that day Sarah and Steven started dating and became a couple after three months. She shared a lot of good memories with Steven and Sarah was hoping that their relationship would last forever but she had no idea how wrong she was about this dream...


...Or Not!

Sarah and Steven were together for over 6 years now and a lot had happened in that time. He had started studying Business when he was 19 and Sarah found herself a Job in a Local Book Shop. They moved together at the age of 23 and she was already hoping that Steven would propose to her own day. Sarah was giving him a small hints everyday but nothing came back. But she noticed that something changed about him. Steven was coming home later from University than normally, he was in a bad mood and they were fighting more often. Sarah often asked him if everything was alright but he just stormed out of the room and locked himself in his small office. Sarah was starting to feel that he didn’t love her anymore and was crying herself to sleep when Steven was still awake and wouldn’t notice.
It had been a typical day for Sarah. She got up, make breakfast but Steven had already left. So Sarah went to work until her boss got ill and closed down the Shop for the day. She went home, five hours early. Sarah opened the door to apartment and stepped inside. She heard noises from her and Steven’s bedroom and decided to find out what was going on. Sarah opened the door to the room and screamed. There on her and Steven’s bed was lying Steven together with another man.
“Sarah? Why are you already at home?” Steven exclaimed confused. But Sarah said nothing instead she just stared at the love of her live and the naked man next to him. She turned around and ran out of her the apartment. Tears were running down her face as she had reached the streets and she was ignoring all the people who looked at her strangely. Sarah’s heard was shattered in the moment she saw Steven together with the other man. For the next months she was living in the house of her best friend Charlene who even brought Sarah some stuff from her apartment. Steven was trying to call her and was showing up at her work but she acted like that he didn’t exist anymore. She just wanted to move on and forget about him...


Time for a new Start

6 months passed since Sarah broke up with Steven and erased him completely out of her life. She burned all the pictures and threw all his stuff on the street or sold it on the internet. This was her way of getting Revenge and all her friend did their best to support her. But nothing could heal her broken heart and she had lost trust in men. Sarah was seeing Steven in every man who was trying his luck with her. When she couldn’t sleep Sarah was often thinking to herself that it was her fault. Because she hadn’t been good enough for Steven and couldn’t give him what he wanted he had sought comfort in the arms of a man which was worse than cheating on her with a woman.
Soon Sarah’s friend had enough that she was blaming herself for everything. Her best friend Charlene was the one who was suffering the most under Sarah’s blaming all the time since Sarah was often sitting together with her and crying her heart out. But soon even Charlene had enough. She was tired of listening to Sarah’s complaining and crying everyday so she signed her friend up for the “Lonely Hearts Club” Cruise Trip through the Mediterranean Sea, hoping that Sarah would finally find Love and Happiness again...

A cruise sounded like the perfect way to forget about the last six months, if there even was a way to forget. Evan seemed like the perfect guy. So perfect that I had agreed to marry him. We'd known each other for a year before he even asked me out. Our first date was as perfect as a date could be and even ended with a romantic stroll along the beach! After dating for two years, he finally asked me the most important question of my life. He asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes! I'd known, or thought I'd known, that he was the perfect guy for me. Then, six months ago, I'd come home to my apartment from work, like I usually did and found a message on my answering machine. I listened to it as I put my coat away and made my way to the kitchen to make some tea. "I've gone to Mexico," came Evan's voice from over the machine, "I've run away with Susan." Susan? The girl I worked with at the book store? That would explain why she wasn't at work today. Called in sick, my foot! "I'm sorry to do this to you and I hope you can forgive me." I heard the cup I was holding shatter as it fell to the floor. I numbly walked to the living area and deleted the message. Numb. That's probably the best way to describe how I've been living these past six months. Until I saw the ad in the paper for this cruise. My friends had been supportive but had recently become...well, impatient. It seemed every friend had this great friend or cousin that I had to meet. I didn't feel ready, but I felt like I started waking up, as if from a trance, as I was reading the ad. I thought about it for a day, at most, before calling into work to say I was finally taking my vacation time. Now, as I boarded the ship, I couldn't help but wonder if I really was ready and had made the right choice. Either way, I promised myself I would have no regrets.

*Note- I hope this is right! I've never entered a contest with writing like this before!

Hobbies:Writing,Swimming but afraid of fishes..Shopping..and many more to come
Interest:Boys,but who knows..i'm on this trip to reinvent myself and if a girl attracts me,i might as well go after her!


It all started with what i wanted..

One year ago..

"You look gorgeous dear"i heard my fiance compliment me as i stepped out of the dressing room.I was wearing a crimson red dress,very classy and elegant.
As i admired myself in the mirror i smiled at the image of this perfect girl who stood there,being complimented by her perfect fiance.I peaked at my diamond engagement ring and smiled again.Hm..if only it would have had a sapphire instead...
Oh my god don't be such a selfish person..so what if you told him that since you were little you wished for a sapphire engagement ring?He bought you a diamond one cuz it's...
"A girl's best friend"i muttered and turned towards my boyfriend who was already forming a number.
"Hello mother,how are you?"he asked and smiled brightly.
He loved his parents so..it was one of the qualities that made me love him.They were one of the most influential family in New York,the Montgomery's.

He came towards me and circled my waist with his arm while admiring us in the mirror.
"She looks ravishing mother,classy and elegant just like you like it"
We both laughed and he kissed my cheek and pointed to his watch.
"See you home.."i whispered and he nodded,grabbed his briefcase and quickly made his way out of the shop.
A shop assistant came towards me with one of those big and fake smiles on her face.
"It looks magnificent on you madam,like it was made for you"she exclaimed.
"Is it a keeper?"she inquired quickly.
I took one last glance towards my image in the mirror and nodded.

A month ago..
What a crappy case that was.A 20 year old girl had been raped at her work place.She was a secretary at a very important firm and the piece of ass that did it escaped with only 1 month parole cuz he was a very important someone.
I messed up my hair by nervously running my hand through it over and over again,i messed up my make-up from the crying that happened after it all ended,my white shirt i had stained with coffee and by covering it up with my black jacket,i sweated throughout the day.
But most importantly why did she have to suffer because of an old fucking fart?!?!
I was full of fury and when i punched the steering wheel,the horn went off and i stopped in the middle of the road,having been startled.There was a little bump behind of me and i saw a blond head get out of the car and start towards my car.I rolled down my window and before she spoke,said "Give me your name and number and i'll pay all the damages i've done to your car"i sighted and when i looked to my left two huge blue eyes watched me curiously.
"You look like a mess.."she observed and my eyes went big.
"Uhmm..you came all the way over here to tell me this?"i asked ironically.
"Well no cuz if i hadn't come and saw you i cou...well nevermind..here!"she chirped and two business cards fell through the open window and into my lap.
"Buh bye!"she said cheerfully and left.Since there were alot of cars behind me honking me i started the engine without taking a glance towards them.

When i got home i realized there was a party taking place in my house since i saw people dressed elegantly stepping through the doors of my house.I grabbed the two business cards and my purse and got out.I smiled politely and greeted everyone i passed by since i knew them from all the classy parties my fiance's mother threw.
When i got into the house i soon realized that i won't be able to find him in the sea of faces so i took two stairs at a time and got right into our bedroom.
I put my purse on the counter and started stripping out of my clothes on my way to the bathroom.I started the shower and in a second i was under the water,scrubbing away all the pain,sorrow and disappointment from the day.
"Maddy?Maddy dear are you here?"i heard Ben's voice call for me from the bedroom and so i stopped the shower,wrapped a towel around myself and went into the bedroom.
"Yeah i just came in..and honey i just had the worst day..."
He quickly came to my side and kissed my forehead.
"I'm terribly sorry but why don't you dress nicely and come down to the party?"
"Oh,i don't feel like it.."i let my head rest on his shoulder.
"But dear,my parents want to see you.."i could feel the disappointment in his voice so i raised my head.
"Okay..i'll be down in a minute"i tried to sound happy and he left my side and went towards the door.
"Make that five so you make yourself pretty"he chuckled and closed the door behind him.
I slowly went towards the mirror and looked at myself.Pale skin and gray eyes combined with my light blond hair wasn't the best combination..makeup was the only thing that would bring a little color to my face..and even though Ben proposed that i die my hair a more strong blond i can't stand the thought of trading the hair my mother gave me for another color.As i eyes lingered towards the counter i saw the two business cards,one lavender with a name and a number on it and another one had written on it "Lonely Hearts Club" in big letters and under it "Are you gorgeous,sexy and with a broken heart?You deserve better and what better place to find love than in the middle of the sea.."
I laughed silently at the message.But i'm soon to be married with a perfect guy and i feel perfectly happy...I took both the cards and put them in my panty drawer and went to get dressed.

The end and the beginning..
"I've quitten my job.."i muttered while i got out of the wardrobe but Ben barely even flinched from his desk.
"I've quitten my job"i said a bit more loudly and that's when he turned around.
"Oh sorry honey,i wasn't paying attention..what did you say?"
"I said that i am no longer a lawyer.."i saw the confusion on his face but i continued "And i wish to write stories for children..i always wanted to do that.And i hate my long hair and want to cut is short,and i want to dress funky for once in my life without you saying anything,and i want us to stay home and watch a movie from time to time.."i said all in a breath and i waited for him to say anything.
"Uhmm..but..we'll still go to the party my parents are throwing today aren't we?"he asked with a sheepish voice.
I rolled my eyes and relaxed against the door of our bedroom "Must we really?Are we so needed there?All we ever do is smile and nod our head..and all i do is talk to idiotic women about how wonderful it is to be engaged."i realised i had started raising my voice so i abruptly shut up.
"Don't call them stupid!"he raised his voice and got to his feet "They are my mother's friends.And why wouldn't the engagement to me be wonderful?Don't i give you everything you want?Seriously now..what's wrong with you?"
This was the first time i saw him furious and it angered me even more.But i decided it was a waste of time to argue..i mean,it will pass  right?Every couple has it's quarrels..
"I didn't mean it like that..fine,we'll go to that party,i'll go get dressed"i turned around and went for the wardrobe.
"I'm pleased to see you acknowledged your mistake..and by the way,could you please not mention anything about your job to my parents..?or for that matter to anyone at the party"
I stopped dead in my tracks and started turning around.He was at his desk as he talked.
"I'll talk to your boss tomorrow and explain to him the situation..."
"No you won't!"i yelled and pushed over a counter.
He got to his feet,eyes big and i started to laugh maniacally at him.That's when a song popped into my head and i started singing it in a hysterical and nagging voice.

"I'm A Barbie Girl In The Barbie World
Life In Plastic, It's Fantastic"

I started pushing over everything in my sight and ripping the sheets on the bed..

"You Can Brush My Hair, Undress Me Everywhere
Imagination, Life Is Your Creation"

I then went to the bathroom,got a scissor and cut my hair right in front of him so now it was just above my shoulders.

"Come On, Barbie, Let's Go Party, Ha Ha Ha, Yeah"

I was in my wardrobe the next second throwing all the glamorous and classy gowns at his feet.

"Come On, Barbie, Let's Go Party, Oooh, Oooh"

I then grabbed my two big green luggages and started throwing things into them..clothes,my laptop,accesories,everything i had bought with my own money.

"Come On, Barbie, Let's Go Party, Ha Ha Ha, Yeah"

I closed the lugagges and went to my panty drawer and got out the two bussiness cards,shoved them in my purse and started getting dressed in whatever "crazy" clothes i could find.

"Come On, Barbie, Let's Go Party, Oooh, Oooh"

I grabbed my luggage,went right at him and slapped him and i then threw my engagement ring in his face.
"You only loved me..because you thought i was a perfect..little..doll,you could play around with.Well,children get over their toys..and i sure as hell don't want to stick around when that happens!"i yelled in frustration and started sobbing silently on my way to the door.He didn't dare stop me..
"COWARD!"

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

Once i got into the car it was clear what i wanted to do until one point.
I was going to have my hair done at a hair saloon,then go to the back and extract all the money from our shared account and put it on my card..but what after that?
And that's when it hit me!I started going through my purse and i soon found the two business cards..the one of my saviour and the one that indicated the place where i would be spending my next few weeks..
I looked into the mirror window,made myself pretty once again and started the engine..

DONE!

My boyfriend & I had been together for almost a two years. We loved each other dearly, we never fought it was like a Cinderella story. After a while we had even moved into together. My boyfriend, David, was a night guard and his shift ended at around 11 pm so he would get home by 12. One night I told him that I would be staying at a friends house so I could surprise him. I hid in the closet in a sexy costume with some champagne. I heard the door click open and I laughed to myself, he's in for a surprise I thought. I heard his voice, but not only his. A woman's voice. They entered the room and I was peeping through the little holes.
"You sure your girlfriend isn't home ? " I heard her ask
" Babe, don't worry, she's out" he replied.
I was totally shocked, after that I saw them get on OUR bed, kissing and making out. I burst out of the closet and dropped the champagne. I started with his clothes, flinging them out of the closet, the drawers, then the shoes. I hear him yelling, apologizing, telling me to calm down. " DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME TO CALM DOWN" I yelled furiously. I was pretty much done throwing his stuff out, so I put it in a garbage back and put it at the door. "Get out, leave, I don't ever want to see your face again" He tried to stop what was happening. "I said GET OUT" I pushed him and his "mistress" out and slam the door. After that I let the tears out.

And that's my story I think I joined the Lonely Hearts Club for a fresh start for a new beginning, it's been almost 5 months that my boyfriend and I have broken up and I'm still not over him. I need help and I know this is where I could get some.

Fay Grayson, 22, office-"boy"/DJ
Likes music, dancing, clubbing, writing novels, action movies and cats.
A bit of workaholic, with mischievous side, doesn't like being toyed with, looking for partner in both genders, definitely not players.



Recalling her break-up, Fay admitted to herself that it was the dumbest action she ever did. She made a scene and she tried to stay calm and not do such things!
But she remembered how he treated her under the mask of being perfect boyfriend. It was true, what she was feeling towards him, but dreams were shattered quickly.
That was the day when she was coming back from doctor, she has been ill for few days. Deciding to have some coffee before she returns home, she went to cafe and there started the nightmare. Sipping coffee, she accidentally heard somebody from behind.
"So, Carter, have you done it?"
It was familiar voice, a guy from her work, who actually met her with her boyfriend... But it could be coincidence. Voices are sometimes too similar and there are some percents of guys named Carter.
"With her? Yeah. I won, you know." she heard the one and only voice of her boyfriend.
Despite the urge, she decided not to turn back, something must've been mistaken, she was thinking that.
"Heck, Carter it wasn't what I was asking. And what've you won by the way?"
She heard laughter she knew to the very last note. Carter's laugh, but somehow different.
"Fay was quite challenging to bed. What have you suggesting, marry her or so? No way, she's good for a short period of time. Where did you got her anyway, I've been asking that for few months..."
"If you ever listened to me..." she heard sigh. "She's my work colleague. don't tell me you were with her just for bet..."
That laughter again, confirming her suspicions.
"And why should I be with her longer?  She's looking like a Barbie doll and these are for one cause..."
That was enough. She turned back, they were sitting right behind her, her workmate, Vince and Carter... She smiled sweetly, when she dragged their attention to her.
"Hello honey, Vince" she said, standing up.
Judging her smile, Vince was ready to run away, but something went wrong. Before they realized it, Fay punched her boyfriend heavily, still with that smile.
"Next time, love, when you're confessing such a private thoughts, make sure that the subject isn't listening somewhere." She was still smiling that way, Vince thought it's going to be dangerous soon. "And it's over, kitty" she patted shocked Carter and walked away with people looking at her with shock.
That was the story, she was just a girlfriend because of bet. It was so humiliating...
Few months after this, she decided that never ever she'll  ask anybody for guidance... She started to looking for partner, at least for N.Y.E.
That's why she stumbled on LHC. At first it wasn't best idea, but after few minutes she thought it's now or never and sent the application.

Name: Isabel Martin
Age: 27
Profession: Lawyer
Hobbies & interests: Workaholic from Monday to Friday. On weekends, likes to club, drink and date. Gambling is her guilty pleasure; she’s a great poker player. She likes to work out, especially when nervous.



Really, I should’ve seen it coming. Every single one of my friends, coworkers & family members kept telling me that my relationship with Jaime would NEVER work out… guess I was a bit blinded by all the muscles and our incredible nights.

I met Jaime, a 34 years old DJ, about 8 months ago, at the gym. I know, the gym might not be the best place to meet a man; but I was lonely and he was just so handsome! He offered to help me with my sit-ups. One thing led to another, and, before I knew it, he was spending the night in my flat. Yeah. He didn’t call me the next day (big surprise), but we had so much chemistry that I decided to buck up and pursuit the relationship myself. Three days after that, at the gym, I offered to help him with his bench presses (with the same spending the night together result). He moved in just 2 weeks after that, and, by that time, I was already very much in love with him.

Everyone I care about was against our relationship – they kept saying he wasn’t trustworthy, that he would hurt me, that he only had a physical connection with me, not an emotional one. I was so infatuated that I couldn’t see they were right… I kept defending him, believing he was the love of my life.

As it turned out, the love of my life had a thing for one night stands. Who told me that? The girl he was living with when he “helped with my sit-ups”. She told me I was supposed to be just one of his flings, and she found out about us because – in her words – I wouldn’t stop calling him! He moved in with me at THE SAME DAY she kicked him out! Also, she told me he hasn’t work as a DJ in years! He would tell that to every single girlfriend he had, so he would justify his nights out! All his income came from a rich ex-wife’s alimony. REALLY!

I didn’t believe a word, of course – I thought he loved me! So I asked him about all that, and the douche just confirmed! He said he was glad his ex went looking for me, because it saved him the trouble of making up reasons to break up with me. So, he left my flat and, apparently, went to live with another girl. All this happened almost two months ago. I’m still mad (who wouldn’t be?!); and what irks me the most is that I still love the a-hole and can’t help been heartbroken!

My friends told me I should take a trip; that that would help me to forget him… I kind of agree with them: I need to be somewhere surrounded by music, alcohol, beautiful people and, if it’s not too much to ask, some gambling. I want to find my rebound guy! I thought of Vegas, but it’s a bit of a cliché. Besides, in Vegas there’s a huge risk I’ll find another scum, just like Jaime.

So, here I am: full of hope in this cruise. I saw one of the captains is quite drunk – which can either means that I’ll have a way too much fun, or that I’ll end up dead. I’m betting on the first option though!

Due to Neriah getting drunk and losing the captain's wheel (I was DRUNK, don't ask) we will not be embarking for our journey for another 24 hours due to ship maintenance.

Name: Tiffany
Age: 21



About Me:

I can not believe I am here. My mother thinks this holiday will help me get over the death of my long-term boyfriend Liam. We were together for 4 years...he was my best friend, my lover and my life. And now she thinks that 6 months after the accident I'm going to disappear on this trip and come back with no recollection of my feelings for him? She's delusional.

*sigh*

Oh well...at least I won't have to hear her nagging for a while. And maybe a break will do me some good.

We'll see.

Name: Evey Griffin
Age: 26
Profession: Police Detective
Interests:work, sports (martial arts and boxing, mainly), mistery books, cooking, pets



Evey inhaled the salty breeze that came from the sea, while she stood in the line to get on board the MS Adventure of Love. She couldn’t help but thinking that it was a ridiculous name for a ship, but it was, however, very suitable for the cruise trip she was about to take. “I must have been drunk when I let Christina convince me of this” – she thought. Actually, she was drunk then, Evey remembered.

It all had happened four months before. Evey had a wonderful boyfriend; they had been dating for almost two years and were making plans of moving in together, when she found out that she was not the only one he had been making plans with. Evey, then, broke up with the jerk and moved in to her new apartment, alone.

Two months after that, she was home, drinking with her sister-in-law and friend, Christina, who came up with the crazy idea:
-I know what you need, Evey: you need someone to help you forget Will for good.
-You don’t say? – Evey smiled – I thought you were here to help me, Christina.
-I am! But you know what I mean – she sipped her drink - you need a new man. A guy who is nice, intelligent, romantic, loyal, comprehensive, caring… And sexy, of course. Someone worthy of you.
-Thank you, but where am I to find that god? If there’s such a man, I don’t think he’s available…
-All right, your new man doesn’t have to be Mr. Perfect, but I know exactly where you can find one good enough: Lonely Hearts Club.
-And what the hell is that?
-It’s kind society… For single people. You apply for the club and, if you get in, the owners will try to find you a suitable match.
-You must be kidding me… - Evey started.
-Oh, come on – her friend interrupted – I’ve been there, and it’s nice. That’s why I’m making this suggestion.
-Don’t tell me you met my brother in that club – Evey raised her eyebrows.
-No, it wasn’t him. But I got to know Edward because of the LHC guy I dated, so it works, right? And my previous boyfriend was a nice guy as well – only your brother was nicer.  –  she winked – Give it a try, Evey. And even if you end up alone, the members of the club do lots of nice activities; there are trips to wonderful places…  Don’t you always say o need a vacation? So…
-All right, all right, I’ll try. But if anything goes wrong it’ll be your fault, ok?
Christina smiled and raised her glass:
-To your new love – she said.

  Smiling,  Evey greeted the two drunk captains and boarded the ship.

Corinne Rosier, 24 - painter

Interested in: both men and women

“Keep it quiet.” A sleepy voice came from under the blanket.

There were three more knocks on the door and then the noisy stopped. She closed back he eyes and turned around, trying to fall back asleep. She was so sad and tired that she didn’t even hear the sound of the keys or the door opening. No surprise she was caught off guard when someone simply grabbed and pulled the blanket of her body. She quickly rose to her feet, her hand on the bedframe to support herself.

“Well fuck you too, Nicholas.” She said before turning back to the bed, her hands already on the pillow.

“No, no, no, Corinne.” He said grabbing her hand. “You’ve got some explaining to do. You didn’t answer any of mine or dad’s calls, more than that you didn’t even let Clara and Jade in when they came here on Monday.”

“I just had a bad week.” She said taking the pack of the cigarettes and the lighter from the floor and lighting herself a cigarette. “And I didn’t want to talk to them or anyone else by the matter.” She added, taking a long drag of the cigarette.

“Since when do you smoke, Corinne? I remember you had always been against it. Is this somehow Ezra’s great influence on you?” he asked taking the pack from her hands and throwing it in a corner of the room. “I really want to talk to him. Look where he brought you, Corinne, look at this mess.” He said pointing to the piles of clothes on the floor and desk, the empty bottles of liqueur, vodka or whisky, the easel that was broken in pieces and Corinne’s painting that were all destroyed.  “Are you happy with his new life he brought on you, sister?”

Tears filled her eyes and she could not say any word. She simply looked at her brother, inhaling the smoke from her cigarette. Once there was nothing left of it, she threw it on the carpet that was already burnt from place to place and dirty from her paint. She went to the desk and started searching for something on it. When she found the piece of paper she was looking for, she turned around and handed it to Nicholas.

I had to leave, love. I’m awfully sorry.
            Ezra.

“Fuck him.” Her brother said, crushing the piece of paper in his fist.

“Fuck him.” She repeated on a lower tone. “Fuck him for dragging me into this. Fuck him for getting my hopes up. Fuck him for ruining painting. Fuck him.”

“You knew it would come to this. I told you from the start. And I swear that I doesn’t change the way I fell for you, Corinne. I fucking love you, all of you.” He said caressing her tear streaked chin.

“I’m sorry… for being like this. But I love you Ezra. I can’t stand you leaving me.” She said, every word hurting her more like a knife that was stuck in her back and instead of being pulled out it pushed further and further in. “At least… give me one last night. Stay with me tonight.” She begged him.

He hugged her and kissed her temple. He wasn’t happy about leaving, but that was arrangement, he had to. It was nothing he could do to change it, nothing that could make him stay one more day. He touched her gently under her chin, pulling her head up so he could look her in the eyes. Her smile had long faded and her eyes were lacking that spark he loved so much.

“I’m sorry, love”, he said before kissing her salty lips one last time.

“Fuck me for getting into situations like this. Fuck me for getting my hopes up. Fuck him for caring. Fuck me.” She said before taking her brother’s hand.

She was too sad and tired to notice the paper he was holding, one that she made fun of after he made her tears away and one that could change a lot of things in her life.
