Because loving him feels like dying in slow motion, and I don't think I have enough of me left to survive another day of it.” Jack looked down at our joined hands, a look of utter defeat on his face. “I have no idea,” he whispered, his own voice thick with emotion. “Sometimes, the people we love the most are the ones who are meant to break us, just so we can see what we're made of when we're in pieces.”

The pain in my voice echoed through the night, a haunting reminder of my shattered dreams and broken heart. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks—our bond was irreparably broken, and no amount of wishing or hoping could change that.

I want her to forgive me because she feels like I deserve it, I want her to call me out on my bullshit and promise we’ll work it out together. My father puts a hand on my shoulder and offers me a tight smile. “I don’t think there’s such a thing as ‘fixing what’s broken’ in a relationship because once it’s cracked, it will never be the same again. Similar to a mirror or piece of glass; it will always remain distorted.” I scoff. “I came to you for help, father, not more doom and gloom.”

Steven smirked scornfully at my distressed reaction; he let out a cold voice: "Stop acting with me, Diana. I'm tired of your pretense. Diana, you're worthless to me now. Pack your things and get out!" When I heard Steven's words, I knew our relationship was over.

Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself by putting them back together.

I just didn’t know what, she took another drink, then laughed softly. Not a happy laugh, the kind that came from pain. “You know…” Her voice was distant. “Sometimes people think broken things can be repaired if they glue the pieces back together.” I said nothing, and she continued. “But even if the cracks disappear…” Her fingers tightened around the bottle. “…you still remember where they were.”
