Right, so this is a very short story which I initially made for school, but I kind of wrote it with this couple in my head. So after I handed it in I decided to change the characters to the two women and post it here.
Hope you like it :)
Nothing belongs to me.
She didn't know what went wrong. She thought they were so happy together and even though they had a small disagreement the other day, she thought they were meant to be together. But still, there she was, standing in the middle of the living room, surrounded by multiple suitcases.
"Are you leaving?" the blonde asked with obvious hurt in her voice, trying to stop the tears from falling but failing miserably.
"Maura, Sweetheart. I know this is going to be hard, but we can't keep going on like this." He said while moving to stand in front of the woman. "I can't keep going on like this."
Maura was unable to look him in the eye, so she kept looking at her feet. The blonde felt his hand touching her shoulder lightly, trying to comfort her. Thinking about his words, the only thing she felt was anger and hurt, and she shuddered his hand off her shoulder.
"I'm sorry it has to go this way." He added before he leaned down to pick up his suitcases and move towards the door. He opened the door and put his bags down on the doorstep.
"Sorry." He said again with his head low and slowly closed the door. The only thing Maura could do was look at the door with tears streaming down her cheeks. He's gone. He's gone and he's not coming back. The woman stood at the same spot for a few minutes before she came back to her senses. Slowly, she lowered herself on the couch and grabbed her phone. She dialed the number she knew by heart and waited until she heard a voice.
"Jane?" The doctor managed to sob out. "He dumped me." she said, and immediately her sobs became louder.
"I'm on my way." Was the only thing she said before she hung up.
A few minutes later Jane ran into the M.E's house and immediately joined her on the couch and pulled her in a hug. They sat there for a few minutes just hugging each other before Maura leaned back to look Jane in the eye.
"I'm never going to find anyone." Maura sniffed and moved to lay her head in the crook of Jane's neck.
"Of course you will!" Jane said loudly. "And otherwise you can always have me." She added with a small smile but still a hint of hope on her face.
The doctor snored. "Yeah, right."
Jane let out a little cough and moved away a few inches, making the blonde sit up straight too.
"You'll be fine." the detective said slowly and stood up. "I'm going to go now. Ma is setting me up again." She said with a small smile that did not reach her eyes.
"Okay." Maura told her while standing up herself. She gave her another hug and held on to her for a few seconds.
"I love you." Maura whispered. "You know that, right?"
Jane was silent for a few seconds before she whispered back. "Yeah."
They pulled away from each other and the brunette walked out of the door, but not before looking at the doctor one more time. She gave her friend a small smile and a nod and Maura smiled back. When the doctor heard the door close for the second time that evening, she realized that both times, she felt heartbroken.
Again.
So the assignment was to make a story that was centered around a quotation. The quote I used was the following;
"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us."
What do you guys think? Did I do it correctly?
Please tell me if you want me to continue! (If I do continue, there will be Rizzles, don't worry! ;)
And of course, I could really use your feedback if you have some :D
