A ring and a broken heart was all that she had left. Kirsty's carefully
constructed world had come crashing down around her. She lay on her bed
looking up at the ceiling, desperately trying not to, but still comparing
it to the cabin she had shared with Kane, on the fruit-picking farm.
Thoughts and feeling whiled around in her mind until all that she wished
for was sleep, sleep that would stop all of the pain and suffering she was
feeling.
Kirsty turned the ring over slowly in the palm of her hand, wondering where he was now. The only person she had ever really loved and her soul mate. He was the only person who had ever really understood her, and even he had let her down. A sudden impulse made her run to the window, and as she opened it a thought came unbidden. She stared down at the ground, and remembered how Kane had come to the house looking for her only to be turned away by her mother. She had been so unhappy then, but that was nothing compared to what she felt now. Anger, pain and overwhelming sadness clouded her mind and for a moment she wanted to hurl the ring out of the window and far, far away, somewhere where she did not have to be reminded of what it meant to her, and of how she still loved him.
Kirsty turned around and crawled back onto the bed, her face buried in the pillow. She had to move on and let go, he didn't love her anymore. Neither did her family, and they hadn't even tried to understand. She was on her own and she needed to be strong. But deep down she didn't think she could do it, a 15-year-old girl against the world. As her sobs died down, utter exhaustion over took her, and she feel into a deep and dreamful sleep, where she was safe and protected, in the arms of the man she loved.
