    One Day At A Time – (Chapter: Beauty In Walking Away)

    I hesitate before I respond. For a second, I contemplate staying quiet, allowing the silence to speak for me, but she doesn’t say anything else. No words escape her lips, she’s waiting for me to answer her question, because she needs to hear it, needs to know the truth. So, I release the truth causing both our tears. I say the one word she already knew was coming. “Yes.”

    And that does it. It’s the final blow to her already crumbling structure. I hear her sob and I have to open my eyes, I have to witness this damage that I’ve caused, this hurt that I so easily allowed her to experience. My heart aches as I take her in, as I see how shattered she is. I can’t help pulling her in, holding her tighter than I’ve ever held her before, hoping to somehow put the pieces back together. She clings to me just as forcefully, crying into my shoulder, allowing her release to stain my clothes. “I’m sorry.” I repeat it over and over but that only causes her to cry harder.

    I don’t remember falling asleep, but suddenly I’m waking up to a very empty bed. I reach out for her anyway, I test this theory I’ve concocted, and sure enough, she isn’t there beside me. I sit up slowly, remembering everything from just a few hours ago. I make my way into the living room and find her sitting on the couch. She’s just sitting there in the silence waiting.

    I make my way to her and take a seat. “Hey.”

    “Hey, what’re you doing out here?”

    She turns to face me, giving me a small smile. “I didn’t want to wake you.”

    “I don’t even remember falling asleep.” A light chuckle escapes my lips and she gives me a strained smile in response.

    “Yeah…”

    We don’t say anything else, the tension in the air is obvious and palpable. I look at her momentarily before facing forward, staring off into space, she’s staring down at her hands as her fingers fiddle with one another.

    “I can’t do this anymore.” She says looking up at me.

    I sigh. “I know.”

    “I thought I could, you know? I thought that eventually you’d be able to see me, and love me…for just me. I figured, if I loved you enough, then Spencer wouldn’t matter. That it wouldn’t hurt as much when I caught you looking at her or when I knew she was on your mind. Because it would be enough just to be with you.”

    1. I feel a tad bit sorry for kelly. all she did was love ash and all but at least she had the sense to break it off, realizing it wasn’t going to work. well at least part of ash’s guilt is gone, now spence just has to work on her issues, and they both need to work on their issues with each other. I love this story so much! can’t wait for the next update!!
