Downfall

by Fractal Valentine

Lindsay stared out the window of her fourstory apartment building. She leaned her head onto the glass. It was cold, and she could practically feel the rain outside falling on her skin.

Sooner or Later

"Hey, Lindsay, it's Stella. Listen, I'm about two blocks away from your place. I was just seeing if you wanted to come grab a cup of coffee with me. It's just, you should really talk to someone, and I kind of know what you're going through, but since you're not home I guess I'll just see you at work."

Lindsay stepped away from the window. Understanding that Stella's probably right, she needs to talk to someone, and Stella would understand better than anyone. But she can't face anyone just yet, at least not until work. At work she can busy herself, keep herself from having to talk to anyone. Sooner or later things will go back to normal. People won't look at you with those sympathetic eyes. The eyes that even though mean well, stir up the memories from the past few months. When all you want to do is forget.
