"Babe!" The front door opened making me smile big

"In here!" I yelled back from the kitchen

I could hear heavy steps coming close to me as I prepared everything I needed to make a chocolate cake

I giggled when he placed his arms around me, kissing me tenderly on the cheek as I took the eggs from the fridge

"Did you buy the milk?" I turned around with a hopeful look

"Shit!" He shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face "I'm sorry, work was stressful today and I totally forgot about it"

I hated when he was too hard on himself, he always tried to make me happy in every way and that meant he cared about the slightest things

"I can go buy it now"

"No, it's ok, I'll go get it, go have a nice relaxing bath, you deserve it after a hard day of work" I massaged his shoulders slightly

"It's too dark outside, you're not going out this late"

"I'll be fine" I chuckled at his over protective manners "I'm going to the Market down the road, it won't take long"

"Ok, call me if you need me" He caressed my cheek and I agreed

I walked out of our house and hugged my coat tightly against me, feeling the cold weather hitting the bare skin of my hands

It was really dark and not many people were on the street around this time, I could only see the lights shining from the houses I walked by.

Looking back at how my life was just last year was the proof that things change and things do get better

The day he left me my heart was completely broken. I went on a silent treatment, blaming his leaving on everyone around me

The hatred I felt for my parents, especially my dad did nothing but vanish, it became bigger and bigger to the point where we didn't talk anymore

Their reactions to the situation made me see once again how they didn't care about me. They didn't feel bad but they were actually pleased at what Justin did

No one could understand the pain I was in, how my life was turned upside down in just a day, they continued their life as nothing happened, while I was struggling to get up in the morning and go on with my life.. without him

My bad grades lowered even more. I was struggling to end the year and to graduate, I had no motivation and no concentration to study, my mind was always thinking about him and wondering what went wrong, what I did wrong for him to leave me.

The only thing I remember of my graduation were a lot of forced smiles for the cameras, how I had to fake being happy and how I had to fake having a relationship with my parents

Nothing in my life was genuine anymore, it was completely left without love.

Liz tried her best to cheer me up at first but eventually me pushing her away changed our friendship.
