Quitters
Confronting the past will help you move towards the future...
This was a moment that Daphne Consuelos never imagined. She never envisioned herself confronting the man that raped her in a very young age. She never wanted to look him directly in the eyes because whenever she looked into Isaac Carter's eyes, the memories came rushing back to her.
She walked into the Correctional Service of Canada, where Isaac is serving twenty-five years to life in prison. He was not only there for what happened to her, but for what occurred to her cousin Connie Mitchell. Ten years of prison was for what happened to Daphne and the other ten years are for what happened with Connie.
The prison guard took her into the telephone booths, where she will be talking to Isaac to. Her heart skipped a beat, when she noticed Isaac in the other side of the glass, where his orange jumpsuit on. His brown hair was a mess and he had a five o' clock shadow on himself. Daphne looked at the prison guard, who was behind her and then turned around to grab the telephone and place it by her ear.
"Long time no see." it was like Daphne was looking at a ghost. It had been a long time since she saw her ex-boyfriend or even hear the sound of his voice. The thing was: she could not be that scared little girl anymore. She had to be that bitch that she always had inside of her and that came out the minute Isaac was behind bars.
"Hello, Isaac." Daphne said, seriously. This was the last thing that she wanted to do with her day off, but if it helped her move forward in her road to recovery, she was going to do whatever it took.
"You look different." Isaac said.
"My appearance is not the only thing that is different," Daphne responded, "I'm not afraid to kick your ass now."
Isaac sighed, knowing that Daphne still held that grudge from when she was a teenager, "I bet you could, so what are you doing here? What do you want from me? Are you here to brag about how successful you are? Let me guess: you have a WWE contract, you're a multi-time champion and you're married to some guy that is better than anything I could have done with you?"
"You have one out of three things right. I do have a WWE contract. I've been a two-time Divas Champion, which is like the Womens Championship, but more girly and I have been dating the best guy for seven months." Daphne said, not thought Isaac cared, but there was a part of her that wanted to inform him that he did not impact how she lived the rest of her life.
"Is it that one Colby guy?" Isaac questioned.
"Yeah," Daphne stated, bluntly, "He's been wonderful to me, but I don't want to brag about him now. I want to clear the air about something." she informed him.
"About what?"
"I want to know why you did it. Why did you rape Connie? Why weren't you happy with me? Why did you go with raping me and proceed to beating the shit out of me? Why did you do all of that stuff to me?" Daphne went straight to the point; she did not want to hold back anything from him.
"You know about my past, Daphne. I did not have my mother in my life and I desired for that intimacy. I just wanted a female to love me and satisfy my needs. When I saw I did not get that from you, I went to Connie, who was so innocent and had so much love to offer." Isaac explained as Daphne sounded disgusted with every word he said.
"Connie did not even know what she was doing nor did she ever want to know at that age. You traumatized the girl and for what? Your own twisted satisfaction? Connie trusted you, I trusted you and I spent years not believing anything that she said because I was that much in love with you." Daphne argued with him.
"I loved you too, but you loved Colby more than you loved me and I wanted to do anything that I could of to make you stay," Isaac argued back with her, "I thought you did not know what you wanted and I thought by having sex that you would come to the realization that I was the guy that you needed in your life."
"You beat the shit out of me!" Daphne reminded him with almost a yell to her voice.
"I beat because I love!" Isaac yelled at her back.
"That is not love, Isaac. That was never love." Daphne told him.
"I know that now. When I got here, I got some help and they said that I was a sex addict, who needed to work out some of his issues. I got here and I began to work out the issues that I had. I made amends with some people that I hurt in the past—not all of them, but some people. You and Connie were the biggest people that I have hurt and I am so fucking sorry for hurting the two of you." Isaac apologized, which was something that Daphne never saw coming.
"Don't be sorry," Daphne said as the whole prison got silent, "Without your true colors, I would never be in a relationship with Colby and you would have never worked out your past issues."
"What you saw in the past was the sick me. I was in a bad place in my life and I would change so much if I had the chance." Isaac pointed out to her.
"Isaac, I am one the same boat as you. I am working out my past issues and that is why I am here today. I wanted to get some answers and that is what I did today." Daphne informed him as Isaac nodded.
"I don't know how many times I need to apologize to make you forgive me, but I regret it. I regret everything that I put you and Connie through. What I said today was something that I have been wanting to say for the longest time and when they said that you were visiting, I could not believe it. I thought it was someone else that looked like you." Isaac told her.
"You were the last person that I wanted to make amends with. Look, I hate you for what you did in the past with my and Connie, but I want to move forward from it." Daphne told him as Isaac nodded at her.
"As do I."
Daphne cracked a small smile, knowing that she got one of the biggest conversations out of the way.
Daphne still hates Isaac for what he did, but she need to confront him and see if she can move on from the tragic event. The memory is still there in her mind, but she needed to take that step into confronting her past. She might not forgive Isaac, but she has closure for why he did it, but she doesn't forgive him. It's quite complicated to explain it, but I did the best I could. Thank you for reading! Please, favorite, follow and review! :)
