TRY SLEEPING WITH A BROKEN HEART

As she waited at the gate, she scrolled through instagram and  thought of  how amazing her summer had been. Somehow, 2 months in Sydney seemed not to have been enough. The Australian weather had been miraculously cleansing!  It was roughly 45 minutes until boarding and she was ecstatic about meeting her family and friends back at home. To be honest, she was totally missing my boyfriend. They had tried to keep in touch everyday, however, somedays she rarely heard from him. That was so untypical of him.

"Hi Helena,  how was your plane ride?", said Jeff. They drove for an hour in silence. There was literally no sign of excitement on his face. When they did arrive at their shared apartment, Jeff helped her take her luggage out of the trunk. They talk about everything and about nothing.

Friends came over in the evening and they threw a party comparable to only that of the rich and famous. Loud music threatened to perforate their eardrums and alcohol was spilt all over. The next day, Helena went to visit her family at the other end of town. She was showered with so much love that it was infact suffocating.
Things came back to normal pretty quickly as they geared back into their regular rotine. However, the spark that had first characterised their romance had vanished into smoke. They compensated that with excessive lovemaking. Yet, it felt odd and out of place.

"Bae, could you get the popcorn." She said. He brought two large bags full of popcorn, sat down and wrapped his arms around her. His phone kept on ringing but he was not picking up. "Aren't you going to get that?".  Helena became really uncomfortable and picked up his phone when it rung the again. It was another girl calling. "Who is Veronica?". What followed the question was deafening silence.
"We need to talk".  He was overwhelmed by guilt and in sheer stupidity, he confessed to cheating on helena. "Why? Was I not enough for you", she said. "How long has this cheating been going on?". "Almost 2 months".

She was fuming and could not bear the sight of him. "How can you even look at me. It's Over! Get out!".

She locked the door, coiled herself into a corner of the rooom and cried her heart out. She tossed and pulmetted on her bed a thousand times but sleep evaded her. She had never felt pain as excruciating as this one. She tried but couldn't sleep with a broken heart.
