I ran until my legs couldn't hold my weight anymore, I run until my tears freely dripped down my face and sobs broke me down. I fell on my knees and left my weak side show in the corner of an isolated playground. I was weak, that was the truth. I wasn't strong like the heroines in movies and stories, I was weak enough to be broken down by someone like Michael. I let myself fall back and drew my knees closer and sobbed into it for a long time, until my tears dried I cried. Until there was nothing left to pour for that person who hurt me in the worst way. Even after the difficulties I faced at home I kept my head up and met them with confidence, I had found my solace in him, making him my guardian angel and what he did? He found a replacement. Like a broken toy he threw me away when I didn't work for him anymore. I despised myself for investing so much of myself on someon

Aelin paced around the room waiting for her roommate, Laurent, to come back from the unexpected meeting with her ex-boyfriend. Half an hour had already passed and there was no sign of Laurent. In that half an hour Aelin had managed to finish two packets of chips and a can of soda. She shouldn't be worrying so much but something made her anxious for no reason. They were just teenage boys, not rival gangsters who would be pointing guns at each other's foreheads. But one thing in particular was nagging at the back of her mind. Judging by the way Michael was behaving after seeing Laurent, it looked like he knew him. Michael was angry that Laurent was her roommate and had also taken the liberty to come all the way to their dorm to talk to him about something that didn't concern her.
