Stories Stitched Together

Cross my heart

We went from strangers to lovers to strangers again...

The walls held the secrets of arguments and yelling that happened between them. He slammed his fist and threw a vase at her but aimed the wall. Her mouth stood agape too scared to progress anything. This wasn't the first sight. Their night started with vicious fights and ended in the morning with apologises. He thought that a simple sorry would erase the marks of the slate. But instead these marks scarred her mind. And like a fool she accepted him back. The smallest of things created the biggest fights. He hid his lies by blaming her. Cross my heart hope to die to her lover she never lied. The mouth that blabbered constantly when she first met him now stood sealed covered with his lies. Her doe like eyes hid the darkest of secrets. For the others they were a perfect couple, only if they knew. He apologized with each new mistake without learning a lesson. "In the end it's him and I." She would try to convince herself. Their fights distanced them. He scarred her and left her like a rag doll. He found a new player to his game. She was all dolled up, perfect for him. "In the end it's him and I." She would tell everyone. For him her memories had already vanished. But those memories haunted her. She blamed herself for falling in love. Maybe she fell in love with another person. The dreams that he showed her was just to lure her into his trap.  Those sweet gifts were just a cover for his awful deeds. For him she was rag doll. He promised to never lie, but that was a lie. She kept all his lies shut in her mouth to scared to lose her love. He snatched her ability to love again. She wanted to cry but her tears seemed to have empty out. Nothing affected anymore to her. She got used to the pain until she started loving it. His memories haunted her while he stayed busy with his new victim. "They are a perfect couple." People would say about the new couple while she eyed them down with envy. If only she knew what she was falling out. The pain that would scare her now made her strong, even stronger than him. She wanted him to suffer the pain that she went through. She was tried of waiting for karma so she became the karma. The new girl had left for a holiday, that's what she said. He was all alone, perfect. Not many know what happened the next day, except her. He was found with his life sucked out of his body. Police claimed him to be poisoned but the last thing he ate was his favourite dish that his ex girlfriend used to make and red wine. Light bruises also painted his body. The police are still in the search of the murderer. That night she proved that when a woman takes revenge even the devil sits back and takes notes. When she last saw his body she only said one thing,
"Cross my heart, hope to die
To my lover, I'd never lie
He said, be true, I swear I'll try
In the end, it's him and I"
