~~ This is my third fic. I was having an awful day when Reba MacIntyre's It's Just The Fear Of Being Alone came on and I got the idea for this fic. It sort of reflected my mood. It might be a Carby if I continue it on a better day.

Fear of Being Alone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She sighed as tears trickled down her face.

She stared down at the full bottle of sleeping pills in her hand.

The pain hurt too much.

She couldn't take it any more.

It's just the fear of being alone. Everything was going wrong in her life. It was all messed up. Eric. Maggie. John.

She loved him so much it hurt. But something must not be right. If it was going smoothly, he would have proposed to her. He should have known she would never have said no, not to him, if he had done it right.

But he obviously couldn't read her as well as she thought he could.

So she would just let him completely off the hook. She would just get away from him, from everyone.

She would end it all. It just hurt too much.

She put the first two pills in her mouth. She took a swallow of water. Two down and a bottle to go, she thought.

She put the next two pills in her mouth and swallowed.

She dumped the next two onto her palm.

Goodbye everybody, she thought.
