When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“Fine.” Shortly after, he offered, “Do you have trouble falling asleep? How about a drink?”

I rested my chin on my hand and stared blankly at the screen. “I just finished two episodes of a drama. My head hurts so much. John, I think my illness’ getting worse.”

John paused for a moment before saying, “I’ll go pick you up now.”

With that, he hung up.

Looking at the scene on the laptop, my heart twisted in pain for some reason. It was agonizing, and I felt suffocated. Tears wouldn’t well up in my eyes anymore, but the pain in my heart was agonizing.

Everything seemed dull to me. My world was a shade of grey without brightness. Sometimes, I even felt like committing suicide to end my suffering.

And I don’t know who I am anymore.

John arrived at the villa after thirty minutes. He stopped his car downstairs and honked.

I looked down from the balcony and saw him popping his head out from the car window. “Come down. Let’s go for a ride.”

Listening to his words, I changed my clothes and went downstairs.

After getting into his car, he turned to me and asked, “Do you feel like drinking?”

Hoping that alcohol could make my pain vanish for a short while, I nodded and smiled. “Sure!”

“What are you going to do from now on?” He spoke as he drove his car fast.
