Chapter 57: Love (pt.2)

Taking a deep breath, I realized something. 

We had strayed away from the pace we were supposed to have. Something inside me was trying to deny such facts, but it was nothing but the truth. 

As painful as it was for me to admit it, I had to. 

That night, Mei had fallen asleep. 

It was pleasant news for me, I just sat down and closed my eyes, refusing to show an ounce of emotion even in front of my own reflection. 

The girl in the mirror stared at me as if I was a weird existence she could not recognize, no, it was an expression we knew before but almost forgot. 

It was the expression of distrust and self doubt eating us from inside out. 

What should I do? 

I realized that something was wrong ages ago. But what could I possibly do to fix it? 

The answer was simple. 

Nothing. 

I embraced Mei and wanted our life to be better someday. Guess what? The day came, but our life was not any good.
