Unwanted

Summary: She is one of the abandoned, the rejected--the unwanted.
She lies awake at night and dreams. She dreams of feeling wanted, loved, and protected… but she knows that it will never come true. Her life is, after all, far from being a fairy tale.
She is unwanted; despite what everyone else says. Her father professes to love her, but she does not feel it. It is a feeling that she cannot shake. All of the lies in the world cannot change what she believes deep inside her heart; inside her very being. There is no alternative to the pain that she wants to escape. She is far too cowardly to take her own life.
Ice-cold blue eyes flash in her mind. A whisper of a promise echoes in her ears. A chance at a different life; a chance at love. A chance that she had forsaken under the premise of normality. He made her feel wanted. Without him, she is broken—a shell of what she could have been. What she has lost will never return. She cries now; wishing bitterly for a different life. All of the lies in the world cannot change what she believes deep in her heart; deep inside her very being.
Crimson blood has seeped into the wooden floor. A bright stain glares at her pale face that bring the hurt to life and the shimmering tears to her saddened green eyes as she lies beside the dried blood on the entry hall floor. A whisper invades her mind and she believes that he is there. She can feel his touch, his warmth, and all of the promises that she denied herself the moment she hopelessly watched the blood spill from his broken body. The river of crimson still flows in her mind; his life slipping through her neglectful fingers.
Then it is gone. She is still alone. He has abandoned her as she had always feared. He never cared about her in the first place. He did not want her.
No one does.
