Her tears like diamonds on the floor

Chapter 1: Bridges

It was dark. For some reason, the sky was not as bright as it was supposed to. She walked slowly, trying her best not to make any sound. She was in the brink of discovering the truth. Her breath was fast and so was her heart, which pounded so rapidly she could almost feel it about to explode out of her chest. Maybe, she thought, it was a bad idea to try and follow the man she loved just because of her unruly guts. She had been thinking over and over, debating to herself frequently about his loyalty. One side telling her to go on and the other telling her to stop. She couldn't bear to just do nothing and not really know whether or not he was telling her the truth.

After every corner, she slowly walked after him, maintaining a safe distance not to get herself caught. Although she keeps on going about it back and forth, she continues to follow him until he came to a stop. She sneaked a peek to see where he was standing on, and there she saw her man in front of a small apartment door. Everything he had done for her began to flash through her mind, and then everything that didn't make any sense to her about him also began to flash back through her mind. She was at the point of confusion whether to trust him or not.

He went inside the door, and minutes later she went near it. She felt so deceived and foolish to have believed that he was going to an urgent business meeting late that night. Her hands became cold as ice, not because of the temperature but because of the feelings that she had been holding in the minute she got the idea to follow him. Suddenly she heard voices, three or four voices two males and two females. She was frustrated, her hands began to clench and unclench unconsciously. She never imagined that he would do this to her, not in a million ways that she had believed every single word that came out of his mouth began to crumble like broken glass. In her mind she thought, how can this be?

She couldn't stand being there, but being outside made it worse. She wasn't sure who those people were and what the connection was between them. She had no idea at all about him. It was as if the whole world had just fallen down on her and she felt so hurt, it didn't matter to her anymore. Tears had began to fall down her cheeks as she stood helpless in front of that door. She couldn't walk away and yet, she did not have the guts to knock on the door either. Instead, she merely turned around and sat in front of that small door and sobbed as quietly as she can. Although she tried, her sobs were not as silent as she would have wanted since her heart bled together with her tears. The door opened. She froze even more, knowing the fact that she had been seen sitting there. She couldn't move nor look at the person at the door. She just bowed down and did not speak. A pair of warm hands touched her shoulder and rubbed her back and said, "Come now dear, it's freezing out here." The voice was of a kind woman.

She slowly stood up and tried to wipe the tears with her cold hands. The woman was a few years older than she was but she had this subtle radiance that made her feel very comfortable. She invited her to sit down near the fireplace. She hadn't noticed how long she had been outside and that it had gotten really cold. She sat down and looked around as the woman went to get some tea. She saw pictures of children, about9 or 10 years old. As her gaze ran across the room, she saw a picture of a young boy aged 13, it was him and the lady she had met was his older sister. She had never felt so ashamed of herself that she started to cry again. The woman came back and said to her, "My dear, do not shed your tears for a man. Your tears hold a value that no man is worthy for you to waste them on unless if... he was my brother..." She couldn't help but chuckle at what she had just said. "My brother loves you very much, and there's a reason why he hasn't told you about all of this yet. Give him some time, I'm sure he has this all planned out, explanations included. I'll just go upstairs for a while and get him. You stay here and keep warm."

Virgo and Independence:
Virgo is a very independent zodiac sign. They are fully able to put their intelligence to use and get things done for themselves. It is possible however that their narrow mindedness causes their creativity to suffer and they may lead regular routine lives. They may dwell too much on the past and over complicate things and this may limit their ability to move forward and confuse themselves. In conclusion, Virgos are able to be independent but the less evolved types will have difficult if someone is not there helping them to achieve more and not be so critical of themselves.

Virgo and Friendship:
People look up to Virgo for friends because they are straight thinkers and solve problems logically. They are truthful, loyal and determined. Some people might find them cold or emotionally detached because they live in their minds, not in their emotions and feelings. It might be hard to pin down how a Virgo friend is feeling because they easily live in denial. A person who is able to read deep into another person will notice when Virgo is not well but if they confront them about it, they would rather retreat then talk about it. It is best to keep your emotional distance from a Virgo friend unless they open up to you first. Virgo might try to analyze and control a friend's life but only with the idea that they will improve their life, not purely for the sake of controlling. Be patient with your Virgo friend and understand that their recommendations are only to make your life better.

Virgo and Business:
Virgos are very intelligent, they have an excellent memory and a highly analytical mind. This makes them good investigators and researchers. They also have the ability to probe into a person's emotions and they can often see into people and detect what their motives are. This makes them great policemen or interrogators. Virgos are very good at problem solving, this is what they do best. They are confronted with a problem, they will pick apart the pieces and put it together in the proper order. They are rational thinkers and are good at settling other people's disputes and putting them on the right track for reconciliation. Any position that requires the above features, which is a very long list, is perfect for the Virgo. They keep the world in order.

Virgo Temperament:
Before a Virgo plunges into anything, from a problem to a vacation idea, they need to analyze all the facts and know all the details before they plunge in and make a decision. This makes them seem indecisive and slow. Virgo's perception is their reality, more so then other astrology signs. What they believe is what will be, if they have a negative outlook on life, things will present themselves to be negative and they will be very moody and isolated/detached. If they are positive, the same events that occur will be held in a positive light and they will be a pleasant, well adjusted person. A Virgo mind is a very powerful mind and they must have the proper attitude for their life to be happy and successful. Virgo needs to get in touch with their feelings, this is why they usually seem cold or detached. They are very prone of living in denial. They will say the feel okay or everything is alright even when it's not. This is an easy way out, the one thing that Virgo does not like to analyze is their feelings so pretending everything is okay is a good defense mechanism for not having to take a closer look at their feelings. Virgo has an unpredictable and sometimes unstable temperament.

Virgo Deep Inside:
They need to be organized in their mind, sometimes all their energy is taken from organizing their mind that they have a difficult time organizing their surroundings. They easily look too deep into an issue and over analyze what they percept. Virgo is ambitious and strives to always know more and have more. This is in their eternal quest to bring order to chaos. Even if order is obtained from an outsiders' point of view, Virgo will not be settled for they have a very active mind that is always thinking and can never be silenced. Virgos want to be of use, they need to be important and essential to everyone in their lives and in everything they do. Virgo's major life lesson is to learn to trust in and have faith in the unknown. They have to understand that things in life happen for a reason that is not always known to them, they do not have to always know everything. They need to learn to calm down and not over-analyze a situation or event. Deep inside, Virgo is very sensitive and they need to be appreciated for all the things they do. When is Virgo is offended or hurt, they may never show it.

Virgo in a Nutshell:
Virgo exists in the mind, everything is inside. To the world, Virgo presents a calm and collected exterior but on the inside, nervous uncontrolled intensity in the mind, trying to figure things out, how to improve everything, analyzing and thinking. Virgo can tire itself out without even moving! Virgo has a constant drive to improve and perfect, this can lead to extreme pickiness and finickiest. They are pure, their motives are honest never malicious and they want to accomplish something.
