Broken Promises

As Shalimar sat on her bed packing her bags silent tears fell down her face. She looked at the necklace in her hands. It was a silver heart shaped locket. He'd given it to her for her birthday. He'd had it engraved for her 'To Shalimar, my love forever, Brennan'.

Forever. That was the most painful word in the world to her. She remembered when he gave her that locket. He'd promised her he would love her forever. He promised her they would always be together. He promised her he would never leave her. He broke all his promises. She let out a sob as she placed the delicate little necklace on the bedside table and carried on packing.

They'd been so happy together for the first few months, so in love. They'd spent almost every minute of every day together. Brennan would read her poetry as she ran her fingers through his dark hair. Her heart would skip a beat whenever he looked at her.

Then one day every thing seemed to change. He wouldn't look her in the eye anymore. He started avoiding her. He stopped smiling at her.

Then he started trying to goad her into arguments with him. He'd stay out all night and wouldn't tell her why. He'd flirt with other girls in front of her. He was trying to make her hate him. It didn't work; she loved him too much to ever hate him. All it did was break her heart.

She spent so many nights crying over him with Emma, Jesse and even Adam trying to comfort her. Eventually she felt like she was getting over him. She could even be in the same room as him. She didn't notice the little looks and smiles between him and Emma at first. The same looks and smiles he used to give her.

To say she was shocked when the told the other three that they were a couple was an understatement. She wanted to rip both of their hearts out just to show them what she was feeling. Emma had cried as she tried to her friend that they hadn't meant to fall in love. That it had just happened but she couldn't listen to it.

She didn't want him to love someone else. He promised to love her forever. She ran to her room as fast as her legs would carry her. She collapsed onto her bed and cried so hard that she thought she might drown in her own tears.

Later she had gone to Emma and told her she was happy for them both. It felt like someone had stabbed her in the heart as she said it. But she had to say it for Emma's sake. None of this was her fault.

She zipped up her bag and double checked that she had everything she needed. She sealed up an envelope with Adam's name written on it and left it lying on her pillow. She knew he would understand why she had to go. She couldn't be around Brennan anymore. It was killing her.

She lifted her bag onto her shoulder and took one last look around the room as she placed her com-ring down beside the little silver locket and walked out of the door.
