1 Broken Heart

" Aren't we just friends" I heard Jack say

" Its not like you like me like that right? Come on stop playing around."

I've tried so hard to get him to notice me for the past five years. I was there for him when nobody was, I took care of him when nobody did. That night...I vividly remember, when he took me into his embrace when he was drunk and whispered to me his sweet words of love. It seems he has no recollection of it though.

" Jeez she just playing with you, haven't you guys been like sibling for the past 5 years?" the girl in a revealing outfit said. I know she likes Jack too.

" Yeah," I heard myself say, " hehe just kidding!" I felt my tears about to come out.

" Now if you would excuse me " I left the party, I will leave it all behind.

Me and Jack live right next to each other, we've been living like this for the past 3 years. He'd never notice my advances and I was too scared to tell him straight forward, but today was different I used up all my courage from the past 5 years to tell him, but it was all a joke to him.

I came home and I lived alone, I held in my tears but it didn't work. I cried and cried.

Knock knock, " Melly? It's Jack, so about today I'm sorry-"

" No! Ha it was a joke" I immediately said behind the door. " We've been together for 5 years already how can I feel like that. Now go to sleep and it's getting late I'm tired. Goodbye Jack"

" Ok, ha you scared me there. See you tomorrow" then he left my front door.

I won't see him again... it hurts too much. I was going to leave now. I called my best friend Rachel, " Rachel can I come live with you from now on? I really can't stay here anymore."

" Sweetie are you crying? Yes you can, I'll come pick you up now so start packing."

I ended the call and I began to pack everything up. Rachel came and helped me put everything in her car. I left a note for the landlord of my early release.

I was happy I was moving out, I will slowly forget everything that happened here for the last three years. I will never return.

I deleted Jack's contact and everyone that I knew here. I was going to start anew and refreshed.

Who would have thought that the day after today would change the whole wide world and it would release terror and horror upon the world. Where many would not survive and the weak would be subjugated to harassment, but that is for tomorrow.

Melly cried the whole car ride back to Rachel's house and her heart continued to be restless. She said she would leave it all behind, but was it that easy? Was five years of contained emotion be able to soundlessly disappear into thin air? No! Of course not, only after life and death would she truly be able to leave it all behind. For the rest of her life she would have to continue being scared and haunted by the memories of being rejected, but she will get used to it. Like all the other negative emotion in her life...she will get used to it.

Rachel helped Melly unpack slowly, " You wanna tell me in full story what happened?" Racheal placed a hand on Melly's shoulder to awaken her form her misery.

" Yeah...just let me unpack everything first and thank you for picking me up." Melly forced a smile.

" You don't have to force yourself, we can talk tomorrow and I can see that you are really hurt." Rachel patted Melly's back, " I will always be here so don't worry, I promise!"

Who would have thought that the promise wouldn't have been able to be kept.
