This story is really emotional and made me sad about it. Writing and content is also good but what made it come to 3rd is connection with the topic. It had less connection to topic in comparison to others.

2nd runner up is FuckMeNot

Last Meal

I turned my attention to my plate from empty room or empty house to as matter of fact. No single sole was breathing but me. My breathing was hard as I forced bite of lasagna which was my recipe, arranged according to my texture of flavours. It was one of my favourite food and that is why I chose this hard decision so that it wouldn't feel that difficult to get poison in my system. Sleeping pills to be precise. It smelled nice but only I knew that it would get me killed in my sleep.

Tear ran down on my cheek while I choked on my food. I still love you Adam, I still love you and I can't see you ask me that what I know you will be asking me tonight. I cannot have our baby, yes Adam I am pregnant with your child and I was so happy about it. This the reason I came to your office to tell you about it. However I found the thing that never crossed my mind but I had to believe when I saw you talking to that colleague of yours about us being over today and ending with kiss. It was so obvious, she was so beautiful, having curves in all right places whereas I was just a regular straight flat girl with brown hair and brown eyes. Why would you love me, I can't even find a proper reason to have a chance in front of her. I ate all lasagna that I had made with special ingredient, before placing it in dish wash. I knew you to loved this recipe of mine but today I couldn't make that for you.

He said that he would be late in meeting and asked me to be on my own, but now I knew everything he did, it was indeed a meeting with colleague not professional but personal. My lips quivered as scene in morning replayed in front of my eyes. I felt my head spinning. No I can't sleep now I need to see you before I go to peaceful slumber, I want my night to be long because there would be no morning to it.

I unfolded piece of white paper that earlier I had placed under my pillow reading it once again before sleeping.

I Stacy Adams, takes whole responsibility of my death and death of my unborn baby. I have written this letter and taken this step in all my right senses. I again confirm that none is reason of my death but me. I cannot stay how I am staying any long and nobody is reason of me being not unsatisfied, but my own expectations. I am unable to understand, I do not want to know anything but go and stay in peace. That's all I need. I do not want anyone to be held responsible for my death.

Good bye everyone. I love you Adam. Yours Forever, Stacy.

Keeping back that letter under my pillow I sat with my legs folded underneath. I took hold of edge of my top and changed into Adam's huge white shirt that had last memory of him making love to me. That strong aroma of his that fragrance of our love. I memorised his smell by taking huge whiff of it and hugging myself tightly trying to get that feel, feel of his love back. Which is not mine, not anymore. I bit my lip, trying to hold my self in one piece. My chest was clenching with immense pain. I needed him, I wanted to be his and him to be mine. That's what I had asked, was it too much to ask for?

Taking pink fluffy teddy that was gift from my Adam on the day we had got married, because he knew I can't sleep without soft toy but that wasn't really true anymore because you were the one now whom I wanted to be wrapped in arms of instead any soft toy. Sob left my mouth I clenched teddy in my hold and rested my cheek on it. My brown hair and getting wet due my continuous flow of tears. I glanced around neat room, maybe your new wife would change whole decor of it. My eyes falling on night sky, which had no moon or stars in it. Just like my life, dark, painful and empty of lights and happiness.

What did I do to deserve this? I wanted to scream and cry out loud, pull my hair out but I couldn't, my body feeling heavy with passage of each second, I doubted myself that I can even walk now. I am so scared but this is right thing to do because once you will know that I am pregnant you will stay back with me for child even though you don't love me like I thought you did to me. You were good actor or maybe you liked me, I don't even know anymore, was it true when you said I was beautiful in your eyes? Those were amazing moments, smile crept on my face even though tears never stopped flowing from my eyes. I couldn't control it, they wouldn't listen to me. I don't want that fake life and fake love of yours, I am unable to see that day.

I heard a click of main door getting open so quickly I wiped tears that had stained my pale face before sleeping on bed and waiting for him to come upstairs in our bedroom which will be back to his from tomorrow. I release you from every thing which is holding you back.

I heard whisper "Stacy, Darling are you awake?" It is last time that I can hear you call my name with that lovely voice of his. I felt him touch my shoulder, I couldn't help but peek through my eyes at least I could see his handsome face that could make anybody fall for him hard and fast before I die, right?

He sat beside me taking hold of my hand, "I need to talk something important to you, can we please talk now?"

"Uh.. Adam can we... Can we please not talk right now..... but in morning?" I looked at his face, he had disappointed look so I added, "I am not feeling good, morning? I promise." I told him placing my hand on his back of hand. He nodded even though he didn't looked convinced about it.

He changed himself and sat with laptop on bed in his lap, "Adam?" I called for his attention

He hummed in response without taking his eyes from laptop screen, tears were trying get free of hold that I had been trying because now I understand that he wasn't actually that busy he just didn't wanted to be with me. My heart broke into thousands of pieces as realization hit me hard, I couldn't ask him or tell him about our baby. He would definitely regret it.

"My whole body is paining, can you hold me in your arms?" I said with tone that was laced with lot of pain. He would be so ignorant of me for not noticing my red face due to crying since he gave me look that say 'NO'

"Please?" It was my last wish at least I could die in his arms listening to his heart beats maybe they aren't for me but still, It was my heaven I want die there.

"Fine." He muttered in annoyance in his breath, taking his T-shirt off he slept beside me. I didn't hesitate lifting myself and resting my cheek on his chest just above his heart.

"Adam?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you, love you lot and I can't think of me alive without you not being my side." Tear slipped again from eyes and before it could have landed on his bare strong chest, I wiped it and placed feather kiss on his heart.

He... He didn't even respond to it, I pressed my lips together to hold back soon that was about to leave my mouth.

I looked him, his face was facing ceiling while I caressed his stubbled cheek,"Goodnight love." Goodbye Adam, be always happy.

I closed my eyes to welcome the effect of sleeping pills that were hitting hard on me, my eyes drooping with pain and head pounding like I hadn't slept from days. I welcomed it with my open arms. Adam unknowingly, that's what I can think of, wrapped his hand around my waist. This was it.

Goodbye love. I touched my belly. I m so sorry my baby to kill you but I wouldn't want you to come in this world where your father would think of you as mistake and wouldn't love you enough..... I.. I am sorry...

As soon I closed my eyes, I felt myself falling into deep dark well....
