A Fatal Fall

They were fighting again. It always happened when she paid any attention to another man. They were engaged to be married in just a few weeks and it seemed they were fighting all the more. She hated when her fiance' would go through her phone looking for any evidence that she might be cheating. He claimed he had no other choice but to do it since she was the flirting type. She was getting fed up with his jealousy, telling him it wasn't her fault that men found her so attractive.  

So tonight, he tore her cellphone from her hand and started reading some Facebook posts a man he didn't know had left her. He saw that she had answered them with witty replies that could also be seen as a bit flirtatious. He was so angry he stuck the phone in her face.  
     "So this is what you're up to when my back is turned,"he shot at her. Then he asked her how he was supposed to trust her when she did things like that. She then accused him of spying on her for the millionth time. He told her that if she was a decent woman he wouldn't have to do it.  
 
So they went at it going round and round, the fight getting worse with each accusation they hurled at one another. Neither one was willing to back down.  
 
     "If you think that I'm marrying a man who won't stop spying on me you've got another thought coming! ", She spat at him, up in his face.  
     "I wouldn't marry you now if you were the last woman on earth." She slapped him hard on one cheek then turned hoping to escape him. She felt his hands on her back shoving her forward. Unfortunately, she didn't see her cat, Blinky, lying on the driveway in front of her. She tripped and fell, killing herself  instantly when her head hit the pavement.
