There's nothing you want more than to forget about those two, but thanks to your ignorant mother, she made sure you would never forget by sneaking the very photo frame that was on your bedside table into the box that you're opening right now.

You almost gag when you see Yasha and Ronan smiling up at you from inside the box. You hate that you remember the day that photo was taken. That day started with a movie and ended at a carnival. It was fun, as long as you weren't aware that Yasha and Ronan were fucking behind closed doors.

Yasha has her cheek pressed against yours as you both smile widely, and at your other side is your now ex-boyfriend, Ronan, with his arm wrapped around your waist and his lips pulled into a smirk that makes your blood sear with rage.

As much as you want to throw out the picture frame, want to break the glass and burn the photo inside, you stuff it back into the box, making sure to tuck it deeply inside. It's better to keep it than discard it completely, considering that your mother might pay a visit anytime and ask where it is.

Just seeing their faces is enough to drain your energy.

With a foot, you kick the box and watch it slide to the opposite side of the living room. If erasing your past relationship with Ronan was just as easy as kicking that box, then you would do it in a blink of an eye.

You two met in the first year of high school. Second year was when you both confessed, but you both made a promise to only start dating with serious intent in third year.

And that's exactly what you did. Ronan failed to hold up his end of the relationship — one, because he was using you to get to Yasha and two, he was just looking for someone to fuck whenever he wanted.

Yasha was a friend you trusted with your life. You told her your fears and desires before Ronan. She knew that you were scared to have sex with him for the first time, but she still encouraged you to do it despite your feelings, and once Ronan sensed your insecurity, he took advantage of it.

Ronan took advantage of you, almost every night of every week. And just like the story about you catching him in bed with Yasha, your parents don't believe it. Not in the slightest.

Your parents actually believe that you're still dating Ronan. They believe that you're still friends with Yasha when in reality, you've left all of them behind without a second thought and without an ounce of regret.

You spend a couple minutes moving the different boxes into their designated rooms. The one labeled bedroom moves into the master, the one labeled bathroom goes next door, the one labeled kitchen stays where it is, and so on and so forth.

You start in the living room. Cream-coloured walls provide a soothing backdrop while white curtains sway gently in front of the balcony, inviting sunlight to paint the space. A plush cream couch graces the living room, accompanied by a sleek flatscreen TV. Opposite, a circular dining table stands beneath the soft glow, flanked by two sage cushioned chairs.

It's minimal and clean, a seamless unity of aesthetics and comfort.

Then, you start assembling your new room. You've never had a bathroom and a queen bed all to yourself, so spending a couple extra dollars on new decor and supplies didn't hurt in the slightest. If anything, it made you excited to go all out for yourself.

After an hour and a half, you finish fixing your room. Flowy white curtains match the walls and complement the light wooden floors. Small potted plants decorate your bookshelf while a succulent sits on the corner of your desk, adding different shades of green that go along with your sage bed sheets. All you have to do is crack open the window and your room will turn into a fresh and airy place, all for yourself and yourself only.
