[center:3qz9fmwz]Crunch.... crunch... With every step of her feet the forest floor gave way to her weight. Each step brought the snap of a small twig or a plant. A warm breeze drifted through the thick foliage and sunlight penetrated through each crisp green leaf. The warmth of the day was starting to die down as time progressed. It was a late, lazy, summer afternoon and the forest was beautiful. If you looked all around you, the vibrant colors would just jump right into your eyes. The dark, musty brown of the forest floor. The crisp green foliage of all the leaves. The various colors of flowers like rich purple and golden yellow. If you looked up you could see the beautiful blue sky that was slowly darkening with each passing hour. If you listened closely you could hear the many sounds of the forest, but also in the distance you could hear the faint sound of the waves, lapping up against the shore.
All this beauty around, and Victoria noticed none of it. Her mind was in two places, locked up inside her, deep down, and also far, far away. She barely watched where she was going as she stumbled through the thick forest floor. She could hardly see anyway, as tears clouded her eyes and streamed down her face. She had been sobbing for the past hour, wandering aimlessly through the forest, which was her favorite place to be in the summer. Why had she been sobbing? So many reasons, so many reasons....
"Oh Victoria, I want to stay with you forever and grow old with you!"
"You, you really mean that? Do you... love me?"
"Yes I do Victoria, I love you very much."
"Oh Sean, I love you too!"
This was only one of the many memories that Victoria played in her head as her tears raced on. She had loved him, loved him with all her might. She had put the very passion of her life into that boy and after two years of love and fights and happiness and promises, it was all thrown away. Just gone, just like that. It wasn't even done in person either. It was sent in a letter that he didn't love her anymore and that he thought it best to move on and see other people. Victoria was eighteen, and didn't realize that she still had her whole life to live. So many more adventures for her to follow. Her heart was sought on this one boy, and only this boy and she wanted him back with all her might. But it wasn't meant to be and as the days went by more and more things changed. She could picture him now, happy without her, living his life the way he wanted and with no attachment. If only he could see her, torn apart and breaking at the seams, heart in a million pieces. She had wrote him many letters, but it was no use in sending them. She knew she wouldn't hear a reply, she knew she wouldn't hear from her love, because in his mind, he wasn't her love anymore. He was for his own.
At this thought she broke into another sob, falling against the trunk of a tree, her wails probably being heard round the forest. The sky was turning into a deep purple and instead of their being a warm breeze the night began to cool the day and take it's place. Bugs lazily buzzed around her as she buried her face into cool moss that had grown many years ago against the tree. If only she wasn't in pain to notice she wasn't alone. [/center:3qz9fmwz]
