Chapter 1 (3 days after the cheating/prologue):
Miranda shoved her hands in the pockets of her jeans and began her morning walk, as she always did. She bit her lip as she walked by Alex's house, just by pure habit. She sped up, tears springing in her eyes again, and walked past. She reached up to where her pearl necklace used to be and the tears began to drip onto her face. She closed her eyes and thought back to when she had been with Alex and forgot she was walking. Her eyes snapped open as she bumped into someone, making them drop their purse. "Sorry" she mumbled, picking it up and handing it to her. Then she looked up and saw the girl's face. She stepped back. It was the girl Alex had been cheating on her with! Feeling angry, though it wasn't the girl's fault, she turned on her heel and stomped off. She didn't even bother listening to the girl as she spoke, just kept walking. As she stomped past Alex's house she risked a glance at the window. She saw Alex's face as he pulled away from the window. "I hate you!" she screamed, though he couldn't hear her. Then she ran home, sobbing. She never wanted to leave home again!
Alex sat down on his couch and stared blankly at the wall. He felt alone. Usually he would've met Miranda on her walk by now, but that was over. She probably hated him. But he couldn't help but still love her. Why did I cheat on her? Jeniffer..She was nothing! I'm so selfish! he thought, hating himself. Sighing, he walked over to the window and stared out. He hoped Miranda hadn't passed, he wanted to see her. Even if he couldn't actually be with her. He saw her stomp past and then turn her head sharply to the side. He pulled himself back, her eyes were so unforgiving. But sad at the same time. He wiped away a tear as she ran past. "I'm so sorry. Please forgive me" he whispered to himself, breaking into tears.
