Preface

The preface to my novel

  He stood there; motionless, eyes burning a hole through my soul.

The expression on his face was so cold, so fearful a chill was sent down my spine.

'What’s wrong?" I asked, feeling anxious.

"There's something. . . “ Slowly a deep breath is taken. "There’s something that has to be said"

"Then tell me" I demanded.

"Well I didn't want it to come to this, but there's no other choice"

His eyes drifted to the ground, then back to me.

"I'm leaving"

"Leaving?" I was confused.

"I'm leaving Ever-Town" 

Unexpected? Yes, it was. I wasn't sure, whether to cry or to become angry, and I really don't want to know where exactly he's headed.

So instead I managed to ask "When are you coming back?"

A moment of silence occurred.

He then finally spoke...

"Never"

Suddenly my body became very weak, tears were streaming down the flesh of my cheeks and my breathing became complicated.

"Why?" I cried. He walked towards me, the touch of his hand under my chin so felt heart-warming, our eyes locked while he brushed away the fresh tears.

"I do apologize" He whispers softly.

"I just don't understand"

"I know you don't but it's for the best, there's just things in life that certain people shouldn't know about, I am truly sorry”

There has always been something hidden behind those dark coal eyes of his, but never did quite figure out what it was. His warm soft lips were gently pressed gently against my forehead. As his lips removed themselves, I opened my eyes only to see him walking away into the darkness.

"But.....I .... I love you" He stopped, turned slowly to

look at me, I could see the pain in his eyes that this was something he didn't want, neither did I.

I'm sorry but this is goodbye" Vanishing In thin air.

What did he mean by "There's no other choice" Did he not see

the pain he had caused me? My body laid on the soil of the Earth, it

felt as though  someone shot me, through the chest, bullet through the

heart, leaving the broken pieces behind. The scars will always remind

that the past was real. I am considered a ghost, tracking down the man

who torn my heart apart.
