You had been dating him for 3 years when you broke up. You were always somewhat aware of his shady activities that he did behind doors. But you chose to ignore it. You loved him.
But that all came to an end when he caught for dealing. You didn’t want to be with a criminal, someone with a strike against the record.
As soon as you could visit him you did, when you told him that you wanted to break up he wasn’t exactly happy. He immediately went into a rage, banging against the glass protecting you and punching the police officer when they attempted to restrain him. You’d never seen him so angry before. There was a darkness in his eyes.
When you returned home you were scared him, after all, who wouldn’t be?
Your only solace was the fact he was in prison for at least 4 years.
Before you knew it those 4 years had flown past. You were walking down a shortcut when you saw him. Leaning against a wall, cigarette in mouth. He was not looking at you but facing up at the sky.
