         The sky was crying for no specific reason. The sound was loud enough to feel it's emotions. The emotions were filled with pain, grief, sorrow, confusion and anger. 

Gentle sobs could be heard from 

A distance down an alley but when a shadow of a small figure appeared, it became even clearer  that the sobs were coming from there.

The figure turned out to be a lady whose shoulders were shaking. while she cried the rain poured heavily washing away her tears, leaving nothing behind.

         Theodore MJ Jones. The only survival due to a brutal robbery. She was just thirteen when it all happened. Her family died before her eyes while she lay down and begged, pleaded, implored and did whatever she could do to save her family. 

          She passed out afterwards, as the police said but she wished she didn't woke up or at least she could've lost her memories because it was just to painful to forget, she had the good parts but what was the use if she'd just end up with the bad heartbreaking part.

That was why she hated endings because she believed there was no such thing like happy ever after.

          While reminiscing what conspired that eventful day that triggered the past. And how it all started, she couldn't help but blamed life, people and anyone involved in her life. 

            **

         Going to work early was a habit, especially when all she could do was remember the past, then cry and sulk all day.

Theodore was a event planner who worked for a famous company called LTX, the most biggest company for event planning and more. To work there was a privilege to everyone but not to her, she was just doing it to spare herself the headache of thinking.

           "Theodore honey, is that you?" Mrs Tina's voice called the minute she stepped inside the office.

   "Oh, yes ma'am. It's me" she replied nonchalantly to her boss, whose eyes were scanning her

           She said looking intensely "you're always early and dressed up differently" she looked at her as if she was looking for a life inside an empty bottle.

          She guessed she always dressed differently. Today she was putting on white flowy beach dress, painted with red roses on it, paired with white loafers and a handbag. Her hair was tied in a half ponytale, with light make-up.

          "Excuse me ma'am. is Lucas coming back today?" there was a big Gala that day and she couldn't do it on her own without her assistant.

Of course they have employees but Lucas Edwin was her assistant, plus they were kind of close, professionally and formally.

          "Uhm. He'll be coming back today but not as early as planned, though before the event I believe." she explained.

She nodded and walked to her table to start her long day.

 (Theo's POV.)

           Sweating hard to fix everything before the Gala. I heard a faint sound before someone called out to me. 

          "Miss theo! How are you doing?" Turning around to see who it was, I found Lucas approaching me with a tired smile. He must be so stressed after the flight and everything he went to do.

          "Hey Lucas. I'm good but I can't say the same for you, you look like you experienced life" I said emotionlessly.

          He smiled "I'm glad you care about my well being and of course my handsome face" he said playfully. I rolled my eyes which made him chuckled.

          "But I experienced new york. Both the good and bad, you know there's no sweet without bitter" he said with a wink.

But his words got me thinking. No sweet without bitter, now I see why my life ended like this but why am I still alive or is there more bitterness waiting for me?.

I dropped the thought when I saw him coming closer to take a look at what i was doing earlier. "Nice work girl" he cheered.
