Chapter 1: No Happy Endings

I heard the alarm clock ringing from the edge of my end table the number 5:30 blinking repeatedly as the annoyance continued its wailing. I listened as the loud noise echoed in my ears. The incessant howling that started to form words in my mind, telling me to get up. Not that it mattered, even if I stayed here he still wouldn’t be there when I got up. I would still be alone no matter how much I wished it. I can’t turn back time.

I pulled back the white comforter with pink roses on it letting the chill of the morning air wash over me as I stepped out of bed. Like so many other days this was going to drag on. Although, I still hadn’t forgotten him I had become to accept my situation. Every passing minute, surprisingly became more bearable than the last. I still thought about him sometimes, but I became numb.

I thought what we had was perfect. I thought we would always be together. Wrong again. He was nothing but a liar. Whispering sweet nothings while I sat there believing every bit of it. I was stupid. There was another. I wasn’t special. He had someone else to bide his time with. I never did find out how long he saw her behind my back. In more ways than one I don’t want to know. Out of sheer masochism, I wish he would have told me.

I looked back at the alarm clock before heading to the shower to prepare for work. I worked as a receptionist for a lawyer downtown. My job although easy was difficult to obtain. After all who would want a recently graduated teenager without a college education or any experience working for them? My boss was an old friend of my grandfather, that is the only reason he gave me a chance.

He was fairly impressed at the way I was able to do my job with only a high school education. Money was not an issue. I didn’t live in luxury but enough to keep my apartment and buy the necessities. I had wanted to go to college and make something more of myself other than answer phones my whole life, but I had responsibilities.

The nights I woke up crying feeling the other side of the bed empty remembering he left me to do it alone. Not that he knew because I never told him, but for some reason I blamed him. I blamed him for leaving, and even more because my anger left me bitter and guarded. That was all his fault. I built walls around myself, keeping away from any pain on the outside.

I had trusted someone long ago, how naïve I was. Just a stupid little girl living in her fantasy world of happily ever afters and white picket fences. That is not the reality. In reality there are no happy endings.
