A/N: Hello all! I know I haven't been on here in awhile, but school is keeping me extra busy. And I've been editing the end of Matters of the Heart for quite some time, I just can't get the words to flow right if you know what I mean. I'm finding myself less inspired, I think likely because I know the show is ending...however, I always have new ideas, and hopefully this won't be my last Ugly Betty story ever, but if it is, I hope you'll enjoy it :p
Summary: When the unexpected happens, the one man Betty pushed away ends up being the one she needed all along.
Takes place after the events of "Back in her Place", so early January 2010. Hilda doesn't lose the baby in my story (I thought that was so random...)
I think that's all I have to say for now...this is just a prologue, so let me know what you think!
Betty was empty. Completely and utterly empty inside.
The emotions that should've been pouring out weren't, although, she felt the tears creeping into her eyes.
A large scream escaped her lips, and her legs could no longer support her weight as she collapsed on the ground, crying in agony. The sobs shook her body as she wept, hearing the soft cries of someone beside her.
Her entire body trembled as she cried for him, for his mother…for herself. A familiar hand rested on her back, an attempt to soothe the pain searing through her heart.
Betty looked up then, furiously blinking back tears, her sister's face showing concern, empathetic to what she was feeling. Hilda wrapped an arm around her then, as another unexpected wave of sobs consumed her being.
Betty wasn't sure how long she cried, could've been minutes…could've been hours. She just knew she felt numb afterward, which was somewhat of a good thing.
She didn't want to feel anything. She didn't want her mind to function properly, because then she'd become aware that this wasn't a dream, that the plane taking Matt to Botswana had lost transmission somewhere over the Atlantic.
Maybe this way, she wouldn't have to accept his death.
I know, this was mean of me...but I want to make sure you guys actually want to read the story before I put more of it on here. Please review! Thanks!
