One Way Ticket--Kyra

It started off as any other relationship would. Two people meet, fall in love, and
things take off from there. We were young and dumb, and we brougt a house vowing that we will stay togther forever. Well, as time went by we fell out of love. I don’t know when but there is no use in wondering. Tonight was like any other night, he came home late and very far gone. “Where were you? Do you realize how worried as was?”. Him like always gives me the same response “ Why does it matter to you ? I’m the man your women do what your told, I don't need to explain myself to you ?”. It was dehumanizing and humiliating I felt trapped and I didnt know how to save myself. He walked to the guest room and locked himself in. We haven't shared a room in weeks I guess it's for the best. I looked at the guest room door hopelessly and turned to head toward the living room. I turned the TV on and switched to the news and plopped onto the sofa. “ Top ten places to visit in the world” was displayed along the bottom of the screen.” Hmph as if” I said in denial, but then I looked around. My house was nice but dead quite. I didn't like that, a house should be filled with laughter and warmed with love. That's when I realized things need to change. I grabbed a bag rounded up a few clothes and walked through the front door.

I was done. I stormed out of my house, flagged the nearest taxi, and left. I don’t know why I chose to come to this place, but I had a plane ticket in my bag. Perhaps I knew that one day I would need a one way ticket to anywhere. After much thought I decided to go to Japan. It was one of the top ten. So I got on the first available flight and never looked back. It wasn't until I landed that I felt the weight of what I just done. “ What did I just do? How could I be so reckless? What would he think?” I stood in a dark corner having a crisis wondering how I’m I going to fix this mess. The air in the airport became thick, I couldn't breathe I had to go outside. I began walking to the nearest exit mindlessly. It wasn't until I felt water on my arm that I came to. “ Wait, water?” I looked up and then realized it was raining. No, it was pouring. There was no shelter around because during my mindlessness wound up in a nearby park. I ran to the nearest tree and took shelter. Ten minutes later the rain stopped. The noise that once filled my mind ceased to exist. I sat down on the wet grass, because honestly, at this point who cares? My clothes were already soaked through anyway. I looked up and saw what a beautiful night it was. The rain drops glistened on the trees and grass like gems, and the lake reflected the night sky. The stars and moon were so bright. I closed my eyes and felt comfort, I had a feeling that everything would be ok.
