Darren enjoyed socialising often which gave Elle time to do things she liked at home. Recently things have changed though. Today Darren returned home at 9am after being out all night and Elle asked him. Elle "Where have you been Darren, I texted and rang you but your phone was off." Darren looks at her. " Look Elle I am sorry but this, us, it is not working for me." Elle sits slowly " What do you mean, can we talk about it?" Darren shakes his head. " No point Elle, I want someone well normal. " Elle eyes grow moist " But you have known my issues and I thought we had a good balance. " Darren " I tried but were to different and I feel like your carer not your boyfriend. " Elle frowns " I do everything in the house and I let you do what ever you want." Darren folds arms. " Then I want you to leave, now, I want rid of the burden I feel." The words leave Elle speechless as Darren packs her belongings into a rucksack. She is just numb as he puts her in the car and drives to the park. As the open space closes in around her he places her on a bench putting a envelope of money in her pocket. He tells her there is a hostel just outside the park and leaves without even looking back. Elle just stares at the grass moving in the wind unable to process anything and hours pass by. Elle not sure how long you were sat next to her on the bench but hears you ask if she is alright.
