Shattered
Oneshot of how Sandry feels after seeing Briar fall in love with Tris. Written when I found that 'Will of the Empress' is a Briar/Tris thing…sniffle
Sandry knew he was falling in love. She saw the change immediately, after watching him for so many years, how could she not? He could not stop smiling every time he saw her, the way he snapped to attention when she walked into the room and the way he watched her every move from the corner of his eyes.
…she knew…
He was falling in love with someone else; all those years of hoping and wishing had been for nothing. She told herself to be happy for them, to be glad that they at least had found each other. She bitterly swallowed her sorrow, trying desperately to hold back her tears.
But she could not. As the first tears began to roll down her lovely cheeks she knew she would never stop crying.
Never stop hurting.
Never stop hoping.
Never…
She would give up everything for him, do anything for him. Everything and anything. She knew she was being selfish and she didn't care.
'I want you to love me…'
He never knew how much she loved him. He'll never know.
She pretended everything was fine, that it didn't hurt. Inside she was breaking, falling apart, shattering into a million pieces…
Argh! Briar/Sandry!
Why can't it work?
