La Historia De Un Amor (2p!Austria+Reader) Pt. 3

He stumbled from exhaustion through the door and into the dark apartment. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair and threw the keys into the bowl next to the entrance. The light switch flipped and the lights momentarily blinded him. He stretched his back and managed to get a few kinks out. He sighed once more in exhaustion, but quickly replaced it with his usual facade. He couldn’t let his little wife know that he had any weaknesses and would always strong.

“Frau!” His voice bellowed, “I’m home! Und I brought you a gift.” A cheeky grin painted onto his face. His hands held a small box and a bouquet of red roses. There was no answer.

His eyebrows furrowed in confusion, she seemed to favor complaining and being over emotional lately and he wasn’t sure why, but he loved her all the same. Her smile was always there, even things seemed bad, she wore a smile and believed that everything was going to be okay.

‘Roddy, calm down. Everything happens for a reason.’

He smiled warmly and began to laugh in amusement as he found himself mimicking his beloved frau. His attention was brought to a small slip of folded paper on the counter. He walked over and picked it up, looking at it curiously. He opened it and studied it’s contents. His jaw dropped and his vision grew hazy. He blinked and tried to swallow the knot that formed in his throat. He couldn’t believe it, she couldn’t be gone. Not his wife. Not her.

“Frau! This isn’t funny!” His voice was frightened and desperate. There was no answer. He sped into their shared room to find her things were gone, all of her little trinkets, all her clothing and shoes. Gone. He ran out  and stopped when he heard a crack, he lifted his foot and found the picture that had fallen and broken during one of their most recent fights.

It was a picture of them when they were married. Now a single crack through the middle and frame destroyed. He screamed in frustration and anguish, he screamed and cursed the heavens and included God himself into the stream of curses.

His pain didn’t subside like he thought it would after he let out some steam. He curled up, bringing his knees to his chest and began to sob. He had lost the only thing that was stable in his life, he lost a part of himself with her absence.

“Why? I love you, why isn’t that enough?”

His voice was merely a broken whisper, the spark in his eyes was dead. He felt empty and like there was no reason to continue on. His lips were pressed together tightly and his teeth ground as his eyes shut once more. His breathing turned into hiccups and he couldn'd  hold anything back, he began to sob at the loss of his other half. He had never felt a pain such as this, the pain of his entire heart and soul being ripped to shreds.

“You’re no longer at my side meine liebe, and all I have in my soul is solitude und God made me love you to see me suffer even more. You were my reason to exist und loving you the way I did was like a religion. Und now, I will merely exist in darkness without your love.”
