Betrayal

Time stood still as I watched him - them. The love of my life in another man's arms, making love on our bed.

My heart skipped a beat as my anger rose.

"How could you?" The words left my mouth in a whisper, but he heard me. His head snapped up, his face twisted into a grimace.

They both jumped out of the bed, grabbing for their clothes as I turned and walked away. Pain was my only friend.

"Edward, wait please." His voice followed me, in an anguished plea, but it was too late.

I was already gone.

Tainted

As the days turned to weeks and the weeks turned to months, I tried my best to move forward. Put the past behind me and focus on my future.

Work always helped, my mind filling with how to help my patients would consistently push the memories to that place in the back of my mind. Only when I was alone did I allow those memories to burst forth, to consume me.

Love was a dirty word now, tainted by the deeds of an ex lover.

There was no way I would open myself up to that kind of heartbreak again.

Lonely

Eight months had passed. I had fully retreated into myself, my routine now set. Get up, shower, eat. Go to work, have lunch, work some more. Go home, have dinner, then read a book or watch a movie. Sleep. Rinse and repeat.

My family and friends worried about my state of mind, and I knew what I was doing wasn't healthy. But I couldn't break free of this vicious cycle. I felt trapped, like a mouse in a cage.

Something had to give. I was lonely and wanted something more.

That's when I saw him, the new doctor.

Jasper Whitlock.

Pediatrics

Time moved forward as hello's became how are you's? Slowly but surely, we became friends. I was smiling again, talking more, to my co-workers, my family and my friends.

Everyone knew it was all because of him, Dr Jasper Whitlock, from Pediatrics. He was beautiful, if such a word could be used to describe another man.

Slowly but surely we became more than friends. An innocent touch, leading to more, until I found myself sitting on his couch, his lips brushing mine. Time stood still again, but this time for the right reasons.

He was perfect and I wanted more.

Forgotten

Three years after our first kiss, here I was standing at the altar, watching the man I loved, the man who showed me what real love was, standing by my side.

My eyes wouldn't leave his face, I was too lost in the swirl of emotions shining in his blue orbs.

My past long forgotten, as my future lay spread out before me. Images of the past, replaced with Jasper, his naked body spread out for me. Memories of a cheater replaced by making love to my soon to be husband.

And I smiled as we said our I dos.
