Paradise
Living with him was almost paradise. The good times, the laughs, just being with him was amazing. She loved him so much. She loved loving him, but it wasn't enough. Throughout the years of dating him, her brothers hated her, her friends did not speak to her, her village scorned her, and her comrades despised her. The only place she was welcome was his house. They had loathed her for a year because she had married into another village, and it was starting to take it's toll on her. Her heart was breaking. She didn't want to give up her friends and family for one guy, but she loved him so much. She wanted to be with him so much. She was torn between being accepted and being loved. She was strong but this was too much. I'll leave, I'll go back to my village, my siblings, my friends. I'll go back. She thought. But just give me one more day in paradise.

"I'm leaving tomorrow." I said simply tears run running down my face. "You're kidding, right?" He replied. I shook my head. "I love you but I can't survive like this. I need Kaji and Odiriko, I need Gaara and Kankuro. I love you so much, it's been like paradise, but I can't live like this. Please say you understand." I wailed, as he embraced me. "It's okay. I-I understand." He said with a slight quiver in his voice. "I love you, but go to your family. If you're unhappy, go back. I understand, but please stay just one more day in paradise."

Narration
She had said goodbye to him, and now she was walking away. She had left that little house with a suitcase, tears, and no rings on her fingers. After five minutes of walking, she stopped and looked back. She was looking at paradise one more time.

Three Years Later
He got married, and I was invited. It was a beautiful ceremony, I'll admit, but as he kissed his bride, Ino, the only thing I could think was. That could have been me up there. I could have been married to him, but I left. I left paradise.
