Lies

Betrayal, Sadness, Loneliness, Hurtfulness, all hidden behind a smile. Yet...ambitions are what makes us lose a part of our life.

LIES 

Tears brim from her eyes as you just stand there, frozen. Not a single nerve, muscle, limb, or even a twitch of an eyebrow moves. You just stand there and look at her. Not because you're shocked that she's crying but because of something more horrendous. Your betrayal. 

You silently take a step forward. Just as your hand is about to touch her shoulder, a blade is in front of you, preventing you from moving forward. The man glares at you. Hatred evident in his eyes as he slowly walks up with the blade pointed at you. You just stand there. 

She cries. Cries her heart out. Crying because she regrets it. Crying because your love was a lie. 

You know...you know the pain that you caused her but your freedom is stronger than your longing for her. Sometimes, you have to sacrifice something in life just to get what you want. But this sort of sacrifice surprisingly leaves a wound within your heart. A festering wound. A wound that cannot be healed. It is one to stay forever. 

You drop your hands to the side. You clench them into fists and then turn around. You are about to move when her enticing voice halts you. You don't turn your back but your heart is urging you to do so.

“Tell me one thing. Did...you ever love me?” she asks. Her voice just above a whisper. Hearing her voice for the last time quickens your pulse. But...Why is that? 

“No,” you answer firmly. 

“Okay,” she answers. 

You slightly turn your head to see that she smiles. You know that she's holding back the tears but she is strong, strong to show that she could let you go. 

“I was happy to get to know you. I was happy to get to spend my time together with you. I'll remember everything you've done for me. I'll always love you. Thank you for showing me what love was.” 

She bows her head and turn to leave. 

Your hands are trembling but you cannot move. Finally, what seemed like eternity. You turn away from the place you've last seen her. You begin walking forward to the night sky. Celestial stars shine brightly as to mock your horrible decision making. 

...And with one jump, you decide to leave. Knowing fully well that you'll never see her again. 

I'm...sorry. 

Author's Note

Tell me what you think of the second POV. I've only write in this POV a few times. Also, ignore with no character names. I don't plan on giving these character's names, too much work. So yeah, hope you guys give me a decent review.

This is a good interpretation of betrayal.I like the way you describe betrayal using a little scene.The description you use in words for this scene is easy to understand but at the same time you conveyed perfectly the image of betrayal.This is a nice story.
