It Ends with That

The down fall of loving

By Toluwalase iyekoloPublished 3 years ago 4 min read

In the end love creates wounds , bandages them and heals them leaving it as scars

I loved Ryle, still love him to be honest he was perfect probably the best thing Bloom could ask for but yet who is a person if they do not portray a single flaw? Ryle once said;

“We’re all just people who sometimes do bad things.”

He was right about that;He hurt Bloom in unexplainable ways that should be deemed unforgivable. But why did i believe that he would change? In my head, I was practically hoping he wouldn’t become as bad as he was turning out to be and even if things got worse he would be redeemed. Such an amazing person should have an ugly trait like that .

Ryle and Bloom had this thing called “Naked truths” where they were always brutally honest with one another. I found it cute I have never had a naked truth with anyone yet I’m so close to many people. Their first meeting on that roof and yet they were able to be brutally honest with one another and a cute bonus again, Kyle was a neurosurgeon!!!. I did always had thing for surgeons in general I found their profession very respectable so yes as a person who was able to see their story I fell in love with Kyle I mean Bloom did a good job with her descriptions about him.

So when Ryle hit Bloom for the first time on instinct I immediately believed it as a mistake. Ryle would never do that and the only thing he did was to shove her and probably forgot that he is massively stronger than her. For a person like me who is always believes that I can never allow myself to be beaten by a man, I sure took Ryle’s side hoping Bloom will just let it slide and forgive him.Deep down I knew this was Ryle in his true colors but I put that aside hoping Bloom was making a mistake portraying him like that.

He did it again. Just when Bloom had change her mind about him, he did it again! But as the loyal fan I am,after he explained what he faced as a child I began to use that as an excuse as to his aggressive behaviors till the end of their relationship.

When Bloom said she wanted a divorce it hurt like hell but yet I knew it was the right thing she had asked him, what if your daughter came saying,“My husband tried to rape me, Daddy. He held me down while I begged him to stop. But he swears he’ll never do it again. What should I do, Daddy?”

And he said to lily, “I would tell her that she is worth so much more. And I would beg her not to go back, no matter how much he loves her. She’s worth so much more.” I broke down from here, he knew he was hurting her so badly to the extent he was hurting too but yet he couldn’t stop himself, why? Why was it to hard for him to stop? Why couldn’t Bloom’s love be enough to change him for good? Is it that hard to stop a behavior like this especially when you love the person so much?? Is love suppose to hurt that badly??

I had low key blamed her for Ryle’s anger, if only she had thrown away everything that concerned Atlas, if only she had just choose Atlas from the beginning knowing very well that’s who she loved so much I wouldn’t have gotten to seen Ryle in his monstrous ways I would have had my perfect image of him forever believing that Bloom was wrong to leave an amazing person like him.

Falling in love with someone who continues hurts you physically is like falling in love with someone who continues to cheat on you frequently but then it’s like a more excruciating pain compare to heartbreak. They always say, “I’m sorry It won’t happen again” but yet it keeps on happening over and over again why??… Bloom once said;

“We all have a limit;What we’re willing to put up with before we break.” “Every incident chips away at your limit. Every time you choose to stay, it makes the next time that much harder to leave. Eventually, you lose sight of your limit altogether, because you start to think, ‘I’ve lasted five years now. What’s five more?’ ”

Bloom was strong enough not lose sight of her limit. If this lover girl could do it why can’t we? We shouldn’t allow the good memories to over cloud the bad ones. The only thing we can do is create more good memories even if it means letting go of something that brought those good memories before

Bloom and Ryle’s story was like a moment of realization on how loving could hurt a lot more than those sappy break ups we think we are going through. Some people have already tied the knot with some amazing guy just to realize he is not the amazing one for her, How does one turn back time from this ? You can’t. The only thing is to continue walking forward with a healed up wound which still forever be a scar

Yes it’s hard, it will be hard but don’t ever settle for less build that courage and opt out. Only you and happiness matters, It Ends With that!
