Chapter 1 - A Sudden Change

You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present. - John Green (Looking for Alaska)

"Do you love me?" He suddenly asked.

"Of course," I answered bluntly.

"And you would do anything for the person you love, right?"

"Yeah. I would do anything for you, even if I have to sacrifice my life for you, I'll do it"

"If he leaves you, do you want to wait for him until he come back?" His brown eyes come to stare at me again.

I look at him bewildered, "What do you mean?"

LOVE, WHAT IS LOVE? Love is a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person or an attraction that includes sexual desire. All of that is true, but you also need to know what actually happens when you're too in love with someone.

Like I said, love is complicated, frustrating and makes me crazy. I feel so stupid I ever loved someone like him. I was blinded by love. All I think is that love is about loving someone, you're in a relationship, getting married and have a happy ending. But, that's just the good things. The worst things is it can be fail if you can't keep it.

I saw my reflection. My eyes were swollen, I have bags under my eyes, and my body looks so skinny. What about my hair? it's getting longer and so messy. Looks like I need a new haircut. I pick up the scissor from my dressing table and start cutting my hair. I decide to cut my long dirty blonde hair into shoulder length. I never cut my hair before, so maybe it's not really neat.

I got up from the chair and walk towards the bathroom. After I done showering, I change into black sweater black jeans and white sneakers. Actually I'm not a black and white fans I'm more into brighter or colorful colors. But I decide to shrug it off.

Before I leave the room, I take a look at it again. I never leave this room.

When it's the time for eat, my mom usually the one who brought the food. For months I did not get out of the house. Everyone worried about me But I always replied that I was fine. The truth is, I'm fine on the outside but on the inside I'm not fine at all.
