Walk Away
Sometimes people just aren't meant to be together. And sometimes, when you realize that the man you love more than life itself isn't the one, it crushes your heart. It feels as though bricks have been dropped onto your chest and the only form a liberation is time. But even though it hurts to let the people you care about go, an odd sence of relief washes over you.
How do I know all of this? It happened to me.
I met the man I thought I would be my soulmate a couple of years ago on a movie set. Despite the immeadiete attraction, we were just friends at first. That became old quick and soon both of us gave into our desires and began dating. I can't ever remember a time when I was happier.
As time went on however, I discovered that he wasn't the man I mead him out to be. His personality altered completley and I felt as though I was dating a total stranger. At first it seemed like it was all a phase, so I stayed with him. But it wasn't. He ended up getting drunk every night and blurted out horrible, crude, things to my face- sober or not. I knew he loved me, but I also knew that I had to end it.

Three weeks earlier...
Turning the keys and shutting off the engine of her BMW, Keira raised a slightly shaky hand to the door handle and pushed it open. She stepped out, facing the London home while her heart was beating a wild tattoo agaisnt her chest. The black car door was closed shut with a soft slam and the jingly, metal keys dropped into her purse as Keira proceeded up the stone steps.
It was a cold October night. The wind whistled and howled in and out of the almost bare tree branches, sending chills down the young woman's spine. This weather certainly doesn't help, she thought bitterly. With her stomach tangled in knots and her heart racing, Keira was just about to knock on the door. But before she had the chance, someone else had opened it.
"How did you...?" Keira began, her head titled slightly and eyebrows knitted in confusion while her coffee colored orbs roamed his body.
"I saw your car pull up from the window," he answered, concern etched across his features. "Are you ok?"
"I... we need to talk. Can I come in?"
"Oh ya, of course." He moved aside and walked past him, going to stand in the hallway. The door was shut and he turned to fsce his girlfriend. "What's on your mind?"
Keira inhaled a shaky, nervous breath, tears forming in the back of her eyes and clouding her vision. Could she really go through with this? Together they had been through so much. He had become her rock, her confidant, and now Keira was throwing it all away. Did she really want to do this?
The speech Keira had rehearsed a million times before flew out of her head as she blurted out, "I think we need to see other people."
"Excuse me?" He asked, bewildered.
"I don't want to do this," Keira started as the tears began to fall. "But something tells me that you're not the man for me. You've changed."
"How have I-"
"Don't speak. Just l-listen. I'm not going to explain how, but you have. And I'm sick of you treating me the way you have been."
"Keira, no. I-"
"Stop." Keira pulled off the silver ring he had given her on their first date a couple of years ago and dropped it in his hand. "It's over, Rupert. We're through."

I still get chills when my mind wanders off to that night. It was just about the most difficult thing I have ever had to do. But even though it hurts and I cried for hours when I returned home, sometime the best thing you can do it walk away.
