Chapter
8:
Pain
Brian left Anna wordlessly. This was not the ending he had
hoped. Everything was so close to falling in place. Now nothing would ever
happen. He knew Anna meant what she just said. There was no turning back.
Tears started to roll down his cheeks. One by one, till
they all ran together like a waterfall. Without realizing it Brian was now at
his car and unlocking the door. Everything felt like a dream. Anna was supposed
to be in his arms, not him crying his eyes out all alone. The pain in his heart
was almost unbearable. With no warning Brian fell to his knees. His soul was so
weak it was hard to do anything besides cry.
You’ve don
it now
My heart it torn.
I almost think beyond repair.
I guess I expected,
a little too much.
It serves me right
for praying for a happy ending.
“Brian! I’m sorry!” Anna screamed that night after work. As
soon as she closed her office door, she realized her mistake. But her pride
wouldn’t let her chase after and fall tiredly in his warm embrace. “Those sappy
romantic stories aren’t for me. Romance was never meant for me. Brian leaves me
at a phone call. Who am I to think won’t this time! To make matters worse I was
happily in love, yet nature had to take things in its own hands.”
Tears started to cloud Anna’s eyes as she sought her way
towards the couch. He legs wouldn’t be able to support her once the tears
started. Memories flowed through her mind. Non were of Brian. They were all of
Logan. He fiancee that was killed in a car crash one week before their wedding.
Anna’s shoulders shook with vigor as tears dropped rapidly
down the well known cheeks. Crying seemed almost like a daily routine.
Subconsciencly Anna’s body fell asleep in the awkward position she was curled
in. Fatigue and sorrow had captured her body, at least for now.
