Prologue

"We are over!", he said, with finality in his voice.

It felt as if my chest was ripped open, and I was unable to breathe. This was not the first tine he had said those words to me. It was, however, the first time he had used that tone of voice. And never before had his voice contained so much hurt and betrayal. Never before had I ever felt so inadequate. The knowledge that this was my fault, that I was the reason he was hurting, it was more than I could bear. If I had only been able to get past my issues, if I had just opened up and told him how I felt. Everything would be different…

But of course, I could not do that. It went against everything I stood for, every promise I had ever made to myself. Ever since I was little I had always told myself that I would never let myself depend on another person for my happiness, never would I give my heart to someone, and never would I ever put myself in a position were I could get hurt.


A/N: So, what do you guys think? Should I keep writing..?
