Terribly wrong.
I ran to the elevator when I got back to my building. Racing to my door, I almost knocked down a neighbor. I rushed inside.
“Rory?” I called out.
Flash jumped up in his crate and barked.
She isn’t here.
Me: Where are you? Did you go back to your place?
There was no response to my text.
Something caught my attention as I walked over to the crate and let Flash out.
To Finn.
A sinking feeling hit my stomach as I stared down at the envelope. My hands shaking, I opened it. The key to my condo was in it, along with a letter. As I pulled the paper out, my heart pounded in my chest and I was struggling to bring in air.
I read her letter through blurred eyes.
My Sweet Finn,
I know I promised to never leave you, and my heart is breaking as I write this, but we can no longer be together. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but it’s the only thing I know to do. Please try to understand I wouldn’t do this unless I had to.
The last few months have been the most amazing time of my life. I wouldn’t trade them for all the gold in the world. And no matter what you may think of me right now or in the future, please know that I love you. I’ll always love you.
Please don’t hate me. I don’t think I could stand it if you hated me.
Forever yours,
Rory
The letter slipped from my hands as I stumbled over to the kitchen bar.
“Why?” I whispered to myself. “Why would she do this to me?” I closed my eyes and tried to steady my breathing.
Flash barked at my side, causing me to jump and look back at the letter. Seeing the glass plate with the bread on it, I picked it up and threw it across the room. Glass shattered everywhere, and Flash ran into the bedroom.
I yelled louder, “Why, Rory? Why?”
Picking up a vase with flowers Rory had bought last week, I threw it against the wall.
“How could you do this to me?” My arm swept across the bar, causing everything to hit the floor in loud crashes.
“How could you do this?” I yelled out.
Spinning around, I grabbed whatever I could and started throwing it. Why would she do this? Why would she destroy my entire world?
Something inside of me snapped as I pushed my sofa over, kicked Flash’s kennel, and reached for anything I could while screaming out “Why?”
“You lied! You fucking lied! Motherfucker!”
“Finn! Stop!”
Spinning on my heels, I saw Regina standing in the doorway with a stunned look on her face.
“What is going on? It’s four in the morning. You’re going to wake everyone up.”
