Preface:

Where was he? I bit my lip nervously, looking over my shoulder anxiously every five seconds.

He promised.

I nearly laughed at myself when I had the thought. Because, as always, promises or reassurances mattered nothing in the end, and I was just a silly girl with silly dreams-fantasy dreams. Because life wasn't fair.

Yes, I believe I have heard that before.

I turned my gaze back for the final time. Back to my own hell. My inferno. My reality.

He promised.
