1.The Breaking Down

ERIKA LEIGH PARLAM

It has been two weeks since Andy left, only her parent knew where she went. I've been crying and drinking my sorrow for the pass two weeks, I cancel my flight to Kanada I lock my self in my apartment refuse to talk to anyone.

'My heart tangled and brain is a mess, the scene of the time keeps playing in my head'

' Her emotionless stare was the end of me'

' I want to see her... even if she still hate me...yes I just need to fine her and bring her bac...'

Tears start to form and my shoulder start to shake, I cried again. I want to finder her but I am scared, what my parent will call me, what will happen to my future career. I sigh... i took my 56th can of beer and chuck it down to the last drop.

" fuck it! you know what Erika, you are Gay!" I shouted

" If is gonna take everything from me to be with Andy again so be it, I rather die than Fucking spent the rest of my life without Andy." I shouted to the mirror. I am gonna change for Andy and most important person...me. I grab my phone and called my parent ask them to have dinner with me.
