Love shouldnāt hurt.Ā
Love should make your heart soar – not break it apartĀ
Love should make you feel safe – not broken and vulnerable.Ā
I donāt want to feel like this anymore.Ā

Anger shouldn’t be all-consuming.Ā
Anger at her for leaving meĀ
Anger at her for showing for me that life could be more – and making me crave it.Ā
I donāt want to feel like this anymore.Ā

Two damaged people, free-falling through life.Ā
Two friends. Two choices. Two questions.Ā
If youāre unable to save yourself, can you really help anyone else?Ā
Can happy-ever-afters exist if you no longer believe in fairy tales?

Friends told me how sorry they were ā but it wasnāt their fault. They told meI needed to move on – as if it were that fucking easy, and I could just
pick up and carry on. They apologised for my loss ā as if Iād
misplaced an item of value, instead of the person that had helped
hold me together, all the broken, messed-up pieces of meā¦It
devalued her and everything that we had, and I hated that they could
make such stupid, thoughtless and ridiculous statements. I knew
they cared and I knew they were concerned, but it took all my
willpower not to punch them and tell them to fuck off and leave me
alone. I couldnāt give them what they wanted from me. I didnāt want
to talk. I didnāt want to feelā¦

GL Chapple is a welsh author that strongly believes she was born in the wrong country. She lives for hot, sunny days (of which there are never enough in her country of birth and residence!) Despite this, she can often be found at the beach with her husband and two young children. She has always loved to read and write and promised herself, one day, she would have a book bearing her name on her shelf. She will read almost any genre and despite her belief that the kindle ranks in the top ten of inventions, she still loves cuddling up with a paperback. She writes what she loves to read about: stories with heart, humour and heat.
