It was a tragic loss! or so everybody said.
All except for him.
For him to lose her....
Well that day a part of him was lost.
The only part that gave him hope.
For you see, only him really and deeply cared for her, right from the onset of the party.
So the party progressed and they danced and drank. But all along amdist the laughter only he could see how detached she was. So he gathered all his courage and tried reaching her and give comfort but she rejected him.
Confused and disappointed he didn't know what to do but he decided to let her be. But not even by the slightest margin did his level of care for her wither.
As the party progressed her friends started disappearing one by one. He stood outside by the window and watched with the greatest concern.
By morning she was all alone. The scorch of the daytime sun brought her to the reality. Desperation, exasperation,depression, roath, anger all kick in and hard. Extinguishing any flicker of hope or love in her. All simultaneously feeding on her soul leaving behind nothing but a shack.
He however never gave up on her and desperately tried to reach her, unbeknown to him of the shell that was forming around her. An impenetrable shell of hate, self-hate and mistrsust. And how could she not? After the betrayal and outright abandonment. How could she ever trust or love again,ever? How? While her closest friends gave up on her when she needed them the most and her lover returned nothing but hate at the very hour of need? To his despair, in his last attemp to pull her out, he failed and the cocoon enclosed her never to let her out again. His life soon after became worthless for his care had borne no fruits and she he lost and in her he lost himself. A tragedy of life!
