Chapter 1




***A month and half later***

Haldey had just gotten to her room after checking into the hotel she had found after lunch. She had no where else to go and her world had literally just fell to pieces.

Her and Felix had moved to Pittsburgh right after graduation. and Hadley was lucky to find a great job and a new advertising agency in the city. Felix was...well she wasn't completely sure what Felix was doing...she knew that he was working but it didn't matter to her they were together and happy; she didn't need anyone or anything else.

Now a month and half after they had settled into their apartment and new life. All of the sudden Felix called her and wanted to meet for lunch...This was a surprise but to Hadley it was a nice surprise and she was going to take advantage...until she saw his face something was wrong...

The more she thought about what had happened earlier the words still so so fresh...


------Earlier at Lunch-------

"I cant do this anymore." Felix said after the waitress had left to put in their orders.

"You cant do what anymore?" Hadley asked because she had no clue what was going on.

"This....us.... I cant do this anymore...I'm not happy and I don't think I really ever was." Felix answered with very little emotion.

Tears were welling up in her eyes but she refused to cry especially in front of him. But she couldn't say much..."What..."

"Its simple" he said "To me this hasn't been a relationship, the only real relationship I had was back when I was 20 and I messed that up by cheating...it is something that I have to live with... I don't really love you." again said with little emotion.

Finally a complete sentence came to mind so she stammered it out. "What about you wanting me to come with you so we could making our future."

"DON'T YOU GET IT I DIDN'T WANT YOU HERE, I just said it without thinking. We are done, I have your clothes and other things in the car since the apartment is in my name... I don't want you back there." He walked out and began to put Hadley's things beside her car and then drove away.

Hadley just sat there stunned...and then the reality set in as she paid the check and saw her things sitting beside her car. She called into the office and told them that something had come up and she wouldn't be able to come in for the rest of the day. She got her things into the car and drove to the nearest hotel...Still not able to cry.

------------------------

Still sitting there in the dark Hadley still had not cried....well that was until she moved to get into bed...she was in bed alone for the first time in forever and she started crying uncontrollably and continued to do so for the first time since her dad had died.
