《He Never Loved Me (#Wattys2019)》Chapter 7
Advertisement
My expectations and whatever other struggles faced were always too much for him, and the pressure I put suffocated him. I guess somewhere along the line his eyes began to wander, he wanted something better, someone who wouldn't push him away, and I just couldn't handle the intensity of his love.
He found what he was looking for, long before he actually ended it with me, which hurt more than he could ever know. I couldn't believe that my best friend, the so called love of my life, could do that to me. But that's life sometimes.
Fast forward a few months from the day he had told me that someone else had more to offer, or at least, an easier pill for him to swallow. I told everyone that I was happy; He tells everyone that he is happy.
He came in and out of my life so frequently, breaking bits and pieces of me more and more every time. I told him that I was happy, he knew it was a lie. I had given him time to come back to me. I had given him weeks, to choose and I never thought he would choose you.
I had given him space and I offered him my loving arms to return to. It wasn't something he would consider, he had been to busy doing fun, easy things, with someone who didn't deserve the person he once used to be.
As I watched it happen, feeling pieces of myself, my soul, disintegrate and disappear. He grew colder, and I put a wall up around myself. Wanting to help him, but all I saw from him was lust. Now, he's upset because I refuse to be there for him like I used to be.
He refused to let me go So I can fully heal from the wounds he had inflicted upon me there was no way in hell that through his words and his actions that he was truly as heartbroken as he implied. I told him I was hurt due to the fact that he never cared. But the truth is, he is not who I once loved. That person is gone. That person took some of the deepest parts of me.

I can feel myself missing him, but I know that's just the loneliness speaking. If I go back to him then I'm not allowing myself to feel true love and find someone who truly deserves me. What we had was nice and I wish it was real, but lets be honest, we both know it was only real for me. I'll always dream about you, but I refuse to let myself go back to you. I know what I deserve now and we both know you can't give it to me.

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something.

Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.
