Flashback 

June 2010

I stood, unmoving, watching the display of events in front of me. No words, no movements, only silently watching.

The taller man wrapped an arm around his companion’s shoulder, holding the latter lovingly. His face showed many emotions. Emotions which were the opposite of what I was experiencing. A huge smile decorated his charming face. It fit him, way better than the look of anguish he had not long ago.

A sad smile made its way to my currently emotionless face. I did not belong here. Not in this perfect story with their happy ending. No. I belonged somewhere else. In my own messed up, dysfunctional story. A world where there was only pain and loneliness as the plot. And I, was the protagonist.

Slowly, I my heel and began to walk. Away from the happy ending. Away from the couple who were embracing themselves in each other’s arms. Away from the person who was supposedly my best friend…

And, away from the man I loved.
