“Remember to smile”, he said matter-of-factly.
“People might think your heart is shattered.
Well that doesnt look good, he said nonchalantly.

She didnt bother responding.
How long has it been bleeding like that?
He asked, still not looking up.
On and off for eleven months and 9 days.
And it was broken, correct?
Well, that just makes things…

I mean, you’ve got the option to fix it, right?
He shook his head.
Thats like asking me to fix a shattered mirror.
It will most likely function again, on some level, but just not like it did.
What do you mean, wont feel anything at all?
Most times in these cases, it just goes numb when the bleeding finally stops.
But thats a good thing, right?
I can give you something to take to numb the pain more quickly.
She paused, considering it.
I mean, it cant last that much longer, right?
Its hard to say.
But to be honest with you, yours is in pretty bad shape, so it could take awhile.
The good thing though, is that no one will know but you.
You want a bit of unsolicited advice?
he said, not waiting for her reply.
Perhaps next time you should try using your head to guide you.
Reason, I find, greatly diminishes your risk of falling.
She closed the door behind her just in time to hear his final words echo down the hall.
Remember to smile, he said matter-of-factly.
People might think your heart is shattered.
She started down the hall, his words swirling around in her head.
You want me to Smile?She said, forcing his words to retreat.Why exactly?
She did want the pain to stop, there was no question.
But she was starting to feel exactly what he had predicted, and it was much worse than pain.
She was starting to feel nothing at all.
But this time, she didnt have a go at stop it.
She let it linger instead until it filled her up completely and she could feel nothing else.
