Chapter 1
Life was strange. Life was beautiful. And sometimes life was just down right hard. Brennan Géroux sat at her fiancé's dining room table searching for the words to scrawl on a piece of notebook paper. When he came home from the road, she wouldn't be there like she had been for weeks and years prior.
She looked to her left hand. Her engagement ring wasn't a traditional one. It was mostly onyx sitting in a platinum band. He had insisted on that. She took the ring off and sat it on the table.
T-
When you see this, you're going to be no doubt confused. And then you'll be really fucking angry.
She blinked back tears trying not to stain the paper.
I love you so fucking much, more than I ever thought I was capable of, but I can't expect you to keep me happy. I can't keep expecting you to pull me out of whatever darkness I find myself in. I can't keep making you feel weary and stressed.
I love you and that's why I'm writing this. I'm leaving. I have to figure out a way to fix myself without dragging you down anymore.
I'm a coward doing it this way but I can't take this anymore. I'm so sorry and I hope one day you'll forgive me.
You'll probably hate me from here on out and I don't blame you. I can't end this saying to love me, I know that's all you've been doing, but you deserve better than me.
Please be happy while I try to fix myself.
With all the love I'm capable of,
Blue
More than a few tears had dropped on the paper anyway. She left the pen and her ring before moving to remove the remaining traces of her from their home.
