Chapter 1: The Break Up

Esther Azlia, a female in her early twenties, and her boyfriend, Elton Vance, who was around her age. They were both old classmates during high school, always good friends back then. They were such the high school sweethearts

They held hands, taking a stroll in the silent park. "Esther, I think it's time we simply end things here" A male figure stood tall, his cold eyes seemingly lacking emotion, his tone icy and his dark hair framed his handsome face perfectly. The shorter female figure positioned in front of him, her emerald eyes going wide, she opened her mouth, about to say something, but the words came out in a desperate tone "W-What?! Wait, what did I do wrong?! I-... Please, Elton! You're the only one I have..." She spoke with such sincerity, but the male didn't show any regret or anything, his eye twitched in frustration, absolutely annoyed as he seperated their fingers, irritation written on his face.

"Esther." The male sneered, staring at her with an unsympathetic gaze, he continued speaking with the same harsh tone "Just accept it" He felt displeased by her reaction as he walked past her, purposely bumping his shoulder into hers, making her body turn to the side as she watched the man she once loved now abandoning her, in the middle of autumn. She stood alone in the quiet park, the wind blowing through her direction, making her sliky brown hair flowing along with the wind, a bunch of leaves fell beneath her. Her eyes showed mixed emotions of sadness and betrayal. She couldn't describe how upset she felt. Her shoulders started to tremble as she fell onto both of her knees, with small drops of tears staining the ground. Her slender arms consciously wrapped around herself, letting out small gasps, she didn't want to accept everything, but she had to.

"E-Elton... I-I'm sorry..." She sobbed as her grip tightens, clenching her own clothes when her mind suddenly recalled the memories she had with him. How he had saved her from a group of bullies, how they started to become friends after, how they developed feelings for each other, how they have gotten closer, how they started dating after graduation and then this. A sudden break up while walking in a park, after only 2 years of dating, she wondered if it was because she was just clingy or maybe her personality, she thought it was her appearance or probably how she treated people, yet it like there wasn't a reason to fall out of love.

"Was he using me for his own desires? Did he seriously play with my feelings? Am I just not good?" She thought to herself as continued to helplessly cry, she couldn't understand what was wrong, what she did wrong, what went wrong. After a while, she calmed down and slowly stood up, sitting on a nearby bench, feeling angry but mostly numb as she pondered in her thoughts.

"If you loved me, would you leave me that easily?"
