Forgotten Promise

Jason was thirty years old and seemed to be in perfect health. He was under a great deal of stress trying to balance his marriage and his job. If only he didn’t see her with the other man, his best friend. He trusted him, but to betray by him made it hurt even worse. Trips backwards and leans against the wall in the hallway of the home that he had bought for her. He did everything for her, but everything wasn’t enough. Sweat oozed down the side of his ruggedly unshaven handsome face. He grabs his plain gray shirt as a sharp pain erupts beneath his breast. Thump. His heart pulsating in attempt to escape from his chest. He looks down at the ring on his left hand to the long forgotten promise to a woman he had loved with all of his heart, that was now broking. His eyes lock straight a head needing help. He falls to his knees gasping for breath as everything fades into black.
