FMW # 3: Bitter Goodbyes

She was good at bitter goodbyes. Along with starting a fight with the people she cared about. It was one of the few things Natalia Carlisle excelled at.

Their issues had been a long time coming. Things from both of their pasts didn't want to stay buried and they found out each other's secrets.

Natalia had two secrets that been hiding from everyone for years. She'd been raped repeatedly as a child, by her father's best friend.

Her other secret was that Sasha was her son, not brother. It had taken her a while to tell Spencer those things and once Natalia had opened that door between them, she immediately regretted it.

Spencer had told her about his past drug addiction and knew right then and there that he had lost her. He'd seen the moment she closed herself off to him.

Natalia had broken things off with him because they were both too damaged to help the other heal. It hurt, but in the end it was better for everyone involved.

He'd tried to push aside the bitterness inside of him, but it was no use. Things with Natalia had gone to hell and Spencer wanted someone to blame.

The end.
