Aurora had always imagined heartbreak would feel like a sharp, sudden pain, like a knife to the chest, immediate and devastating. As she stood frozen in the doorway of the dimly lit apartment she had shared with Shawn for the last three years; she realized heartbreak wasn’t always so dramatic.

Over the last eight years, I've watched her come home with different men. Once, Anya stared at me with unusually solemn eyes despite being completely sloshed. "Shane, we belong to two different worlds. Don't fall for me," she slurred. I always thought Anya was a woman who had no idea what love was supposed to be like.

They had made her weep on intention, for that was the only way to reach inside her sorrowful heart. "I...I....loved him with my soul dee, then why did he break my heart?

I said timidly, looking down at our shoes with tear filled eyes. “Exactly what I thought you'll say, you wouldn't tell me stuff but you'll expect me to tell you all” “I think I should go, I'm sorry for what happened today and I promise to stay out of your way” I said bitterly, willing my voice not to crack and begging my tears to stay still.
