Prompt: Numb
Tess had felt everything from heartache and pain to joy and happiness and everything in between. But this numbness was something new.

He wasn't the man she thought he was. The man she thought he was never would have cheated on her. He swore he would love her till the day he died. He lied. Clearly, blatantly lied. And that was the worst part. She had believed him.

She thought he cared about her. She had never been so wrong in her life. This was exactly what she was afraid of. This targeted her fears perfectly. And yet while all these thoughts were running through her head all she felt was nothing.

Is this how it's supposed to feel? Certainly not. She's supposed to break down crying. Or start yelling erratically. But this? Standing there shellshocked was definitely not what's supposed to happen.

He looked like he just realized what he did and it took everything in her not to run into his arms. But when he wrapped his arms around her she didn't pull away but held him closer with tears streaming down her face.

It was only when she woke up the next morning, realizing that he had gone that she actually started feeling something.

a/n: due to the fact that I haven't updated anything in forever I've decided to add three "chapters" if that's what these can be called. I feel super guilty, but don't forget to review!
