Here's a story I wrote a few days ago, and since we've been unable to upload I've been unable to post it. I just woke up on Wednesday and decided to write. The words just flowed out and it took me 2 days to write the whole story. Hope you all enjoy!
"Sara, I can't do this anymore" Catherine said as a tear falls down her cheek
"What do you mean?" Sara stood in front of Catherine, willing herself not to cry
"This. This fighting. It's tearing me apart, Sara"
"Every couple fight, Cath" Sara replied
"But not like this, Sara!" Catherine said, getting frustrated
"Like what?"
"We fight over everything. Work related or not. We fight over the least little thing"
"But…" Sara knew where this conversation was going
"Sara, please. This is hard enough as it is." Catherine says, allowing her tears to fall freely "I can't do this anymore. Please understand, Sara."
"Why?" Sara wasn't going to give up so easily. She had never felt this way about anyone before. Sure they fought, but they also loved.
Catherine sighed, "I just said why, Sara"
"No, I mean why did you say you loved me if you're leaving me because you can't handle this? You're not the only one who doesn't like the fighting, Catherine. There have been many, many times when I thought of giving up and leaving…"
"Then why didn't you?" Catherine countered
"Because I love you! Whenever I would think leaving you, my heart would break because I couldn't picture my life without you." Sara gave up trying to stop herself from crying "Why did you tell me you loved me if you're leaving me?"
"Because I do, Sara. I do love you" Catherine says, with her heart breaking looking at Sara and knowing she's the one making her cry.
"YOU DON'T! IF YOU DO, THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU LEAVING?!" Sara shouted
"Because I can't give you what you deserve" Catherine said quietly, avoiding Sara's eyes
"What do you mean? You're everything I deserve! I know what is good for me, and what isn't. Please don't tell me who I do and don't deserve!"
"Sara. Please. Stop" Catherine begged
"NO! I LOVE YOU! I NEED YOU… I WANT YOU…" Sara finally broke down and fell to her knees, her body shaking with sobs
"Sara…" Catherine walked up to Sara and wrapped her arms around her
"No! Don't touch me! You want me to leave, fine. I'll go. If this is what you want, I can't change your mind" Sara got up off the floor and walked to their bedroom.
Catherine followed Sara to the bedroom, and watched as Sara grabbed a suitcase from their closet, opened the drawers and packed the suitcase
"I'm sorry, Sara" Catherine said
"Don't say that. Just don't, Catherine." Sara said walking past Catherine "I'll get Greg or Nick to come and get the rest of my stuff later"
Sara turned back to see Lindsay standing outside her room.
"Where are you going, Sara?" Lindsay sleepily said
Sara looked back at Catherine and turned back to Lindsay
"I'm just going away for awhile, Linds" Sara said
"I'm not 5, Sara" Annoyance evident in her voice
Lindsay looked at her mom and saw her crying. She looked back at Sara and saw that her eyes were red and puffy like she's been crying.
"You guys are breaking up, aren't you?" Lindsay asked
"I'm sorry, Lindsay" a tear trailing down her cheek, Sara gave Lindsay a hug and a light kiss on her forehead "I'm sorry" Sara repeated
Sara stood up, picked up the suitcase and walked out of the only place she's ever called home, without a look back.
More chapters to come. I'll probably post more tomorrow.
