Mom

Ashley

That day I cried. I cried to my heart’s content. I cried for losing a part of me. I cried for every pain I locked away.

Once I got my shattered pieces put together, I promised myself. One who ruined me deserves to be ruined. Zachary. Mom. Father…

I cleaned my disheveled shelf, it was definitely not a good look on my first day at the office but luckily no one disturbed me. I mended my red eyes as much as I could with my makeup. The ring Zachary gave was put on the counter. I wore it back. Let's show him he is winning. Let's give him hope. He can't fall unless he flies highest.

After finishing the rest of my schedule, I walked out of the office. It was already nightfall by the time I was free. If Zachary was not enough, Noir made sure I remained in hell.

In the distance, a car stood there. A back sedan almost matches the environment. It was a business district, and people having a sedan was the most common. I paid no attention and headed towards my studio apartment.

“Ashley.”
