So inspiration came to me in an unexpected form and bam! I wrote this story in result. I'm still considering on whether or not to finish my other stories. Hopefully I will. Anyway I hope y'all enjoy.
She rushed to wipe the tears from her face. A broken heart was trying to sew the pieces back together. What went wrong? How does she deserve this?
The moment was silent. It was the first pause since the yelling and arguing began 30 minutes ago. He looked at her tear stained face with his watery eyes. How could he cause so much pain to her when he didn't really mean it?
Sharon turned her eyes to him. "Say it." She begged. "I've been through it before so all there is left for you to do is to say it." Puddles of tears were forming in her eyes. Her bottom lip was unable to control the quivering.
His eyes were wide trying to keep those first tears from falling. "I never meant to hurt you or cause you this much pain-"
"Say it, Andy." She interjected him. Sharon exhaled slowly and steadily to prevent an anxiety attack.
Andy closed his eyes and looked down. He took a deep breath and looked back up at her once more. "I don't love you anymore." He lied. "I think it's best for you to find someone else."
Sharon looked to her left out to the balcony. They were standing in her living room. The midnight city lights were gleaming through the windows. She wished her mind and heart would slow down enough so the city noise could drown out the sound of the beating of her pained heart. She moved her head back in his direction but she was looking at her bare feet. Composing but failing at trying to put back her Captain appearance, she spoke with a cold voice. "You may have not meant to cause pain, but how else do you think I'd feel after hearing, 'I don't love you anymore?'" She looked up, and with a caustic voice Sharon continued, "Am I supposed to be happy? Relieved?" She stood up straight and uncrossed her arms to flatten her blouse. "Now, Lieutenant Flynn…I would like you to get out of my house. And keep note you are not welcomed back. Do I make myself clear?" Her eyes were narrowed at him.
He spoke in an uncertain, quiet tone, "Crystal, Captain." With that, Andy walked out the front door but was mindful not to slam it.
She exhaled in the same fashion as before except her body went slack as well. Sharon sat on her couch, leaned back only to lean forward two minutes later. This was it, what she feared. The anxiety rose over her in an uninvited way, causing her not to breathe. Time went still and so did her heart.
