III – 3rd December

icicles; eternal; midnight; spin

Icicles adorn the side of the house as Rose leans against it, the tears on her cheeks hot against the icy winds. They cause her to shiver uncontrollably in the flimsy dress she's wearing, yet she doesn't care because this is the moment where her heart breaks forever…

He's inside and he doesn't seem to care that she's disappeared into the cold because he's happy with Victoire. Oh so perfect Victoire, the one who gets all she wants – and she wanted Teddy, so of course Teddy fell for her. he wouldn't fall for the girl who has loved him since she was seven, no, he had to fall for the girl who loves him but gets everything she wants.

It's supposed to be a time of the year that's happy, that Rose spends with her family and just enjoys life.

Not this year.

Her attention locks in on the icicles and she begins to see the resemblance to her heart; they're both ice cold, frozen, emotionless…and able to be broken. Soon, the icicle shall cease to exist, just as her heart shall loose all purpose.

An almost laugh escapes her mouth as she realises the futility of her feelings because he's never going to leave Victoire for little Rose, is he? He's not going to leave the brainy supermodel for the girl who just got the brains, so why imagine that he will?

The village church clock chimes as she realises that it's midnight, that it's Christmas Day now and she's the most miserable that she's ever been.

Some Christmas, eh?
