As I sat alone in my apartment, staring blankly at the wall, I couldn't help but think about her. She was always on my mind, even when I didn't want her to be. Our relationship was toxic, but I couldn't bring myself to walk away.

It all started when I met her at a bar. I was out with a few friends, and she was sitting alone at the end of the bar. She caught my eye immediately, with her long blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. I couldn't resist approaching her, and we hit it off right away.

We talked for hours that night, and I found myself drawn to her magnetic personality. She was funny, charming, and full of life. I felt like I had known her my entire life, even though we had just met.

But as we got to know each other better, I realized that there was something off about her. She was possessive and jealous, constantly demanding my attention and getting angry when I didn't give it to her. She would show up unannounced at my apartment, and when I tried to break up with her, she would threaten to harm herself.

Despite all of this, I couldn't help but be drawn to her. There was something about her that I just couldn't resist. We would have passionate fights, followed by even more passionate make-up sessions. I knew that our relationship was unhealthy, but I couldn't help but stay with her.

As time went on, things only got worse. She became more and more controlling, and I found myself cutting ties with my friends and family just to keep her happy. I was in too deep, and I didn't know how to get out.

One day, I came home to find her waiting for me in my apartment. She was crying, and I could tell that something was wrong. She told me that she had been diagnosed with a serious illness, and that she didn't have much time left.

I was devastated. Despite everything that had happened between us, I still loved her. I couldn't imagine life without her. So I made a decision that I knew was wrong, but I did it anyway.

I proposed to her.
