Chapter 1 – One Month
I sat in my apartment, all by myself, just waiting for the storm to pass by. The tears had already been streaming down my face for over an hour but they just kept coming. I felt like this was God's cruel way of reminding me that it had been one month, the worst month of my whole life. But no one understood. They thought they could help, but they just couldn't.
I never did like storms. I felt they only brought problems into people's lives. It was on that fateful stormy night one month ago, that my whole life was shattered. The love of my life, the one I thought that I would marry, was killed. They told me it was an accident, that it was no one's fault, but how could it be an accident if the guy who hit him, was complete and utterly drunk!
Everyone always looked at me and Tyler and told us that we would get married some day, but he just never got a chance to ask me. So, it was just Tyler, my boyfriend, who was murdered that stormy night by that stupid drunk driver, who on top of it all, was able to walk away alive!
I wish I could kill that guy who just one night had too many drinks and ended up taking away a life just from being irresponsible. I mean he deserved to die for taking another life. But I don't believe in violence, and now, I don't believe in drinking either...
We had everything planned. We planned out our future together! He would sit there and hold me and we would talk about what we wanted to do in life and we imagined growing old together. My whole future included him... but now that he's gone, do I even have a future now? I don't know what to do anymore. It's like when he left, he took me with him. And all thats left of me is just a shell, a shell of what I had once been.
I'm just... empty.
