"I'll be right back!" I scream out from the open door pulling at the draw string of the hoodie to protect me from the falling rain. Walking quickly down the path trying to avoid the larger puddles, key in hand I place it the box marked by 762 and turn the key. Water bill, which isn't my responsibility this month; myself and Robyn my roommate have a system where we alternate who pays what bill what month. The phone bill, which is my responsibility this go ahead unfortunately. Just as I am starting to think this trip was a waste and cause of depression by all the bills and the thought of hard earned money down the drain, I come to a beautiful cream envelope with my name printed in eloquent pen-menship. Placing the rest of the sack back into the box to protect them from being ruined by the rain I slide my finger carefully under flap and pull out the card. For a moment I just stare admiring it's beauty and glitter. It's a wedding invitation, clearly known by the wedding bells and two rings drawn in the center. Curiosity claims me over as I open the card to know it's secrets.

The card falls out of my hand onto the mudding ground just missing a rather large puddle. I find myself shaking, my breath hard to catch, and a lump not only in my heart but in my soul. Adam. Adam is getting married. My Adam. I always thought he would be mine somehow in the end. Throughout the years, the triumphs, and defeats we always found each other. Our connection, how could he ignore it? I reach back into the box to re-pick up the sack and walk at lightning speed back to the apartment making sure to step on the card now unreadable by the smearing ink.
"Anything good?" Robyn asks me as I slam the door shut upon entering.
"Nah, not this time. Except for the destruction of my soul." I am usually stronger but I found myself a mess of tears mixing with the rain still on my face, nearing to my lips where I can drink the mixture. I hear Robyn rise from her chair and rush towards me - soon I am engulfed in a great hug.
"What is it Joan, what happened?" Words are rushing through my head but none will fall out of my lips. I could have tried harder, I could have told him more often how I feel, I would have given up the world for him, I should have told him that! How could he do this to me?
"Adam." I whisper into Robyn's shoulder.
