My Fiancée Hates Me

I felt like I lost something when Garett said that we should 'break up'. Something in the back of my head told me to reject it right away, but his pained expression was so true that it stopped me from saying anything else.

I was too distraught to notice when Garett left me. Before I knew it, I was left all alone under the scattering cherry blossom trees.

In such a beautiful place, I received the most lonely and saddest breakup speech.

What was my other self-thinking about hurting this man by playing with his feelings? Did I think he deserved it?

Am I really that awful of a person to play with someone's feelings to the point that their heart is crying outside of their body?

Why does it hurt to see him in pain?

Why won't anyone help fill in the gaps of my missing memory?

"Arielle, there you are," Erik said as he ran to me.

"...You were looking for me?" I asked.

...You were looking for your cheating fiancée?

No, you would have known everything, since you barely trust me on my own.

...Why did such an ugly thought appear in my head?

"My father came in secret. He said that he wanted to see you, so I went looking for you," Erik said as he looked up at the trees. "You were sitting here this whole time?"

"Yes," I answered.

"I thought that you would have at least a few petals in your hair from sitting underneath the cherry blossoms," Erik said.

"You seem disappointed," I said.

"Of course...I missed an excuse to touch your lovely hair," Erik said.
