"Dumb"

Akira’s POV:

For as long as I remembered, I always saw lying as a bad thing. My parents, they were always really against it. Always forced me to be as truthful as I could be, even if I made a huge mistake I couldn’t finish. But after I knew I was all alone, I finally felt that relief off of my shoulders.

I knew that they weren’t watching me anymore. I knew that I wasn’t required to be a good girl all of the time. I was supposed to be expected to be an elegant woman, with a rich beautiful man by her side, drowning in champagne and perfume that filled the room.

Fucking disgusting.

When I first brought my girlfriend home, my parents were petrified. But I didn’t give a shit. I loved her. Even after the apocalypse, we stayed together. We helped each other, until it all ended.

Until he ended it.

Ryder. Ryder Vale.

Fucking asshole.
