It felt like I was floating in a ceaseless abyss, unable to move any limbs as my body drifted on in nothingness—all alone. The hollowness I felt inside was more apparent now. I had tried suppressing it, as Caroline had said to, but it was too much. When had it all started? When was it that I gave so much of myself away to one person to the extent that they had the power to ruin me so? Sebastian infatuated me initially, and that had grown into something much more. I hadn't told him how much he meant to me, and I would live with that regret for the rest of my lonely, miserable life. Lonely. A deep ache settles in my chest, a constant reminder of the person who was no longer here. That was what my life would be forever because I didn't think I could feel for someone else the way I did him.
