his smile to the red headed girl standing in front of her was sincere, just like the tears she was fighting against were. and as he introduced this mystery girl as his new girlfriend, she felt a knife piercing deeper into her heart but no one seemed to noticed. and no one heard the scream that echoed in her mind as she recalled their flawed "friendship" as it played like a distorted movie of the past months. she felt most helpless as the recollection of these moments made air slowly leave her lungs and the glimpse of false hope disappear, then followed by the realization that he wasn't hers to take, or was he ever. no words were inspired to come out in response to this sad truth, so she gave him an empty smile and mumbled something to depart, turned her back and walked away. she had to collapse but not in front of him. never would she do that, never would she go to the point of no return.
