The silence between us
Other times, she tried encouraging herself that those jerks do not deserve a single drop of her tear.
Her body felt heavy, like it didn't belong to her anymore.
She lost her appetite,the food had no taste. She nibbled on whatever was closest,dry bread, a biscuit, a cup of water. Her stomach hurt, but she ignored it. Pain had become normal.
She didn't check her phone.
She already knew what she wouldn't see.No messages,no apologies,no explanations.She had cut them off completely, and with that choice came silence. A deep, lonely silence that wrapped around her like a blanket she couldn't escape.
