Two years Later
The door hung dangerously by it's one remaining hinge, but behind it lay a secret too terrible to imagine.
He staggered through, the time was 1:30AM. His mother always told him that nothing good happens after 2AM, so he thought it best to get in was on the brink of being drunk, but he was not quite there. Yet.
The pain was unbearable. She was gone from his world. She was gone from everybody's world. The curtains were hanging, tattered and ripped, swaying from side to side. The rotten wooden window ledge was full of fatal wood worm. The window was open widely, bringing in the brisk, winter shattered lightbulb flickered and made a slight buzzing sound before it died dark room was silhouetted by the inspiring moonlight.
Damn, he thought. There was no alcohol left in the cupboard and he doubted that it would do anything to ease his pain. He drank so much that he couldn't even taste it anymore.
I wish it was me who had died in that car crash,not all my fault.
He had comforted Donny throughout the whole grieving period but deep down he just wanted to sob his heart just wanted her to be back. For the nest two weeks he cried himself to sleep.
He did not think the pain would be this bad. He thought that it was the easy way out. He thought that it would take the pain away. He felt his life slowly seeping into darkness.
Reaching into the top pocket of his khaki jacket he grabbed a piece of ruffled paper. Even unravelling it was a difficult it was inscribed a letter. A letter describing his deepest feelings:
Dearest Daphne,
I'm writing this at 4am because I can't get to sleep. I know this isn't the right time to tell you, as you're getting married tomorrow, but I just wanted to say that I love you. I've loved you since the moment we met. I don't anyone has loved anyone as much as I love you. It's ironic, isn't it? You fell in love with the man I hired to get me away from Maris, so that I could be with you. I don't think this is far. I had everything planned perfectly. Get on with my life with Maris, and live happily ever after. Nothing's that simple, I suppose. Then you came into my life, and it was fate. I knew from day one we would be together but now you're marrying Donny and I am left alone. I know that seems selfish but I believe we belong together. Like I told Roz "Why should two people be happy, when four people can be ecstatic?!" I know that this changes everything and if you don't want to see me again, I completely understand.
Just know that I Love You, and will never stop.
Forever Yours, Niles xx
The time was 2AM and he fell to the ground with a thud. A pool of blood surrounded his lifeless body. He clutched the drenched letter in his weak hand. Yet he had enough strength to turn onto his back. As he did, he unveiled a knife which was embedded in his gave one least thought to his mother.
She always was right.
