FINISH THE STORY CHALLENGE.

in #contest6 years ago

She closed the door gently, but couldn't lift her hand from the knob. She leaned against the wall, frozen, with the confused expression of someone who forgot why they walked into a room. She pushed the door back in slowly, careful not to make any noise, held it there for a few seconds, and closed it again. No! she thought. Go, please go! Her legs started moving awkwardly, like they had forgotten how to walk. She pressed the button for the lift, but couldn't get in when the doors opened, and stood there motionless until the doors closed again. A note! Maybe I should go back and write a note! She started walking back quickly, so that reason wouldn't catch up with her.

As she got to the door, she jerrked backwards as if she had lost her mind so soon again, she knew she had to do this. She had to let go of this love, this love she was holding unto so dear, despite all the times it had shown her it's other side.

She had suffered alot from the cruel beatings that Shawn kept giving her especially when he was under the influence of alcohol and weed. It was time she let him know that in order for them both to make thier relationship work, he had to deal with his so many demons.

She opened the door carefully and tiptoed across the room to where the table was, not making any sound so as not to disturb him from waking up. She quickly scribbled down what she had in her heart to tell him, for she couldn't look him in the eyes anymore to tell him such.

She turned again heading towards the door, this time to leave for good and as she did, she mistakenly let out a squirky sound from a disposable cup she hit on the floor, one he had used.

"Hey baby!, Where you going this early?"Shawn said lifting up his eyes to see his girlfriend Trisha, trying to open the door to their apartment. She froze to her feet but quickly answered him,"oh Hey! I'm just going to take a walk".

She blew kisses to him and left. She knew she had lied, she was never going back, at least not today.
