CHAPTER 36
-A couple months later-
Sitting on a park bench alone, Amy watched as the other couples walked hand in hand blissfully in love. Biting her lip as she swung her legs back and forth, she sighed knowing it would be at least another two days before Joey came home from a business trip.
Leaning back, she took in the scent of trees and full grown flowers. The hot June temperature heated her skin as beads of sweat trickled down her neck. Rummaging through her purse, she found her compact as she checked her makeup to see if it had melted. Smiling as it sat perfectly, she put it away and once again sat in silence, an observer to the other life forms on the planet.
-----
Walking through the park, Matt's black wife-beater shirt and khaki shorts were no help in his attempts to cool down. Sweat trickled down his neck and chest as he continued to jog and pulled off his shirt in the process. Hanging the shirt out of his back pocket, he fixed his sunglasses before quickly stopping.
There she was. Tiny white skirt, soft pink clogs and an off-the-shoulder soft pink ruched sleeve-less top. Her sun-kissed legs shone in the sunlight, her face seemed to radiate her perfect tan. Alone, Matt debated on whether or not to approach her. Was she expecting someone...or was she alone as well?
-----
Amy continued to watch the bikers and skaters run through the park, laughing and smiling with friends. It was a gorgeous day, yet Amy felt miserable.
Her ribs had healed from the car accident but her heart was another story. She got over the fact that there was too much damage done on the relationship of her and Matt. All the bridges were burnt to nothings but she didn't know if she could fully accept it.
It was nearly six months now that she'd been with Joey, but ever since the accident, they'd been on rocky roads the entire way.
He found out Amy professed her undying love to her ex-boyfriend in front of everyone and couldn't help but feel insecure and jealous. Amy felt bad, but she had no control over how she felt, no one did.
To make matters worse, Joey had been going on more frequent business trips leaving Amy to sulk by herself. They never had time for themselves anymore that they drifted farther and farther apart due to lack of communication. Whenever he'd return, he always had presents and gifts for her but Amy felt resentment towards him. Was he buying her love? Did he really think material things were what made her happy? Sure getting Prada shoes and Gucci watches were nice, but that's not what Amy needed. She needed to hear him say he loves her and how amazing it feels when they're together. No matter the price on the price tag would ever even compare to the price of hearing he loves her.
Amy toyed with the gold bracelet on her arm as the charms dangled as she shook her wrist. One of the many gifts she'd gotten, but to her, it meant nothing.
Getting bored, she looked up and as she began to stand up, her heart stopped.
