Chapter 16

~Fictional~

Brings a smile to my face

A twinkle to my eyes

And a skipped beat to my heart.

Hours into the party and I'm still feeling downcast, my heart is still aching and there's nothing I can do about it. They've been talking for a long time now, laughing their hearts out like two people that have known each other for a long time; and a part of my heart is chipping away with every second they spend together.

Unable to keep the hurt pinned down, I rush outside and sit on one of the garden chairs facing the kitchen; thankfully, no one else is outside except me and I hope the dim lights are enough to keep me hidden from anyone. I just need some alone time to breathe.
