Hmm really short little oneshot that I wrote while I was writing the third chapter of "Candy Land"

In This Alone

She tries not to think what other people will think of her. This is about her, not anyone else. It’s up to her to do what’s best for her, especially since she’s stopped sharing every aspect of her life with her best friend. She was in this alone.

Her golden tan hand shakes as she picks up the phone. What are the people going to think? That it’s all her fault? That she was using him? That she never liked him at all?

Staring contests with the phone is never going to get her anywhere, she figures, and she might as well just do it now and get it over it.

Dialing the number, she wonders how her friends will side in this. Are they truly her friends?

She waits while until he picks up, she takes a deep, shaky breath and begins.

The tears fall trickle down her fast, but not near as fast as the words flow out of her mouth.

She knows she needs to do this. This isn’t optional.

The answer she receives though, isn’t exactly what she had been expecting.

“I love you, and I’ll let you go.”

Then a very humble goodbye. Without finding this sad at all, she felt stronger, more complete in herself. Silently, and in her mind, she wished him all the luck in the world, and he did hold a place in her heart.

True, she was in this alone, but she had never felt this happy for a long time.

Tell me what you think, as always:)
