It was almost noon when I wake up. At first I thought that everything was as it was supposed to be, but then everything comes crashing down on me. It wasn’t a bad dream like I had thought. Ethan had really betrayed me.
I feel my tears well up. I cried myself to sleep yesterday and I was just so damn tired of crying. I went to bed wishing that it would all change when I woke up. Praying for a miracle, but here I am. Nothing’s changed. What I wanted to be nothing but a nightmare, was now my reality.
I slowly get out of bed. I had no energy to do anything, but I also knew I couldn’t sleep and wallow in bed all day.
I take a long shower hoping it will make things better. It doesn’t. I don’t think anything can make everything that happened better.
After dressing in a t-shirt and some yoga pants, I go to the kitchen for something to eat. I was just taking out some eggs when my doorbell rang. I heave a sigh of defeat. I wasn’t in the mood to see anyone. I just wanted to be left alone.
“Hi” Letty says with a small smile when I open the door.
She looks as tired and worn as I am. Hers is probably more physical unlike mine which is both physical and psychological.
“Hi Letty” I stand awkwardly at the door.
I didn’t want to be rude but I also didn’t want anyone near me or around me. Like I said, I wanted to be left alone to come to terms with all that I learned yesterday.
“I know you probably don’t to see anyone right now, but can I please come in?” she pleads.
It still surprises me how well we’ve come to know each other. It’s like we’ve known each other for years, instead of months.
I let out a breath. “Yeah sure”
It as she walks in that I notice she has a couple of boxes with her.
