Love Began with the First Meeting

Just the other night, he had taken her hand in his and told her that he had been searching for peace of mind. They'd built snowmen because he knew that it would make her happier. Because of the dangerous situation last night, he had asked her to believe that he would never allow anyone to hurt her.

Brian had always been so aloof, proud, and arrogant to her, and that was what she had kept in her mind. But no matter what kind of man he was in her eyes, eventually, it wouldn't even matter. He, just like everyone else, would be on Becky's side and once again, she lost out to that God's favored girl who might be her sister.

"Molly!" Brian shouted agitatedly. He had never expected that Molly would behave like that. Watching her leave away in distress, Brian lost his usual calmness. He couldn't name that mixed feelings of nervousness, anger, and fear, but it seemed as though he was about to lose something important.

Despite Brian's urgent call, Molly didn't stop, nor did she show any hesitation. The tears stopped welling in her eyes, and it seemed that she had gone numb with pain. She felt totally empty inside.

Blood started to drip out of the wound from her fingers, and they dropped on the pathway paved with cobblestones as she dragged her feet heavily.

She didn't want to break her heart anymore, because nobody would even care to comfort her afterwards. Why would she allow herself to lick her own wound after causing it to bleed over and over again?

She didn't want to hurt herself for someone else's sake anymore, whether it was her family, her friend, or love. She wanted to start living just for herself. She had tried to pursue a life where she could be loved and understood, only to find that she had not only bothered others but also embarrassed herself. Why then should she continue with her stupid dream?
