Prompt #334 (Style) Past Tense
Veronica looked into Betty's lifeless blue green gaze. "Why are you doing this B?"
"It's just not working out any longer Veronica." Betty replied in a montone. "What we felt for one another is in the past. Leave it in past. Lets move on to the present."
"No." Veronica shook her head. "I'm not going to allow Mama Alice to win here B." She gently cupped her soul's face in the palms of her hands. "Our love for one another isn't in the past tense B." She softly said with unshed tears sparkling in her eyes.
"You are right Ronnie. Our love isn't in past tense. But the meaning of our love is in the past tense." Betty calmly stated looking straight into the chocolate brown ones. "Our love where we have to kiss and make love is gone. But our love as true friends remains." She moved backwards forcing Veronica's hands from her face. "The sooner you accept it Veronica then the sooner your soul will accept it and be able to move onward."
"What drug does she have you on B?" Veroncia breathed out as she refused Betty to remove herself fully from her arms.
Betty reamined silent.
"That's the only answer I need." Veronica softly said. "I'm going to get you out of her control B. I promise you. I'm not going to allow her to hurt you any longer."
Betty lips formed a thin line. "Don't you yet understand Veronica. She has all ready won." She tried to get Veronica to remove her arms from her body so she could stand from the bed. But Veronica gently just tightened her hold.
