As the sun set over Dillsville, a lone figure appeared at the entrance of a worn apartment building. Rose stepped inside, her eyes adjusting to the dim light, and made her way up the creaky stairs to her old apartment. She fumbled for the keys, her hands shaking slightly as she unlocked the door.
Rose rushed to her bed and laid her face down, slowly drifting to the floor as she started shedding tears. She was struggling to make ends meet, and the financial stress was taking a toll on her mental health. She picked up her phone and scrolled through social media, seeing the news and comments about her company's failure. The headlines of most newspapers had her name; she was the talk of the town.
Tears dropped down her cheeks as she scrolled through reports and news. As she browsed, she came across Vicky's profile, showcasing his success with the Journals in Clearville and his popularity. "Vicky... oh my goodness... is this really Vicky?" Rose said, zooming in on Vicky's picture.
"It's really Vicky. What have I done to myself?" Rose said, dropping her phone and covering her face with her hands. Rose's eyes widened with regret as she realized what she had lost. She had betrayed Vicky's trust, and now he had moved on to a better life without her.
She felt a pang of regret, wondering what made her break Vicky's heart. In a moment of desperation, Rose decided to take a chance and reach out to Vicky. She typed out a heartfelt message, congratulating him, apologizing for her past mistakes, and asking for a second chance.
However, she refrained from hitting the send button. "What was I thinking? Reaching out to Vicky, someone who I betrayed, someone who I left, someone who I insulted. Why did I leave him? Why did I betray him? Why did I let him go? I was foolish. I..." Rose stopped talking, overcome with emotion.
She started crying again, hitting her feet on the hard floor as each tear dropped down her cheek. "He loved me... he cared for me... he cherished me... and what did I do? I dumped him. If only I could meet with him, if only we could sit and talk, if only we could see each other again and reflect on the things that ruined our relationship..."
Rose stopped talking again, wiped her tears, and stood up from the floor. "We could meet, we can sit and talk, we can fix things. Vicky loves me, right? He can't forget about me. He's my love... he's my everything. I must see him."
She picked up her phone and checked the location of The Journals. "My Vicky is in Clearville. I must meet him. I must go to Clearville." Rose said, determination in her voice.
As she started packing her luggage, eager to leave Dillsville and meet Vicky, she received a message on her phone. She read it and immediately left the house.
