Moving on

Zak's POV

I laid awake one midnight while contemplating ways to get her back in my life and work things out, I replayed in my mind the words she had spoken before she walked away from me. I longed to have her next to me in this bed so I could watch her sleeping next to me.

Emotional turmoil took as much out of me as did physical labor, after spending a day with Aaron and Billy in the office discussing future investigation sites while deciding which places we would visit. I had become sleep deprived and begun taking my grief to bed as well as the countless females that I brought home from the bar and feeling regret after sobering up from the previous night knowing that the strange woman in my bed wasn't her.

Months passed since I have last seen her and curiosity got the best of me as I drove to her home only to see her putting small boxes into her vehicle while a few people placed other things in the back of a moving truck. I parked my car behind hers and slowly got out and approached her.

Zak: When did you get back?

Sophia: that isn't important, I told you that you shouldn't be here.

Zak: you're still holding that against me? I told you that she and I aren't together anymore.

Sophia: I don't believe you; I don't know if you are just saying that to get me to fall for you as I used to...

Zak: you are the only woman that truly loved me and I know that I hurt you but I wouldn't be standing here right now if you didn't mean everything to me Sophia and I will never hurt you again as long as I live.

Sophia: I don't know if I can ever trust you again.

Zak:  what do I have to do to prove that I love you?

Sophia: I don't expect you to prove anything to me, you should realize what I meant to you when we were together.

Zak: I don't want to lose you...

Sophia: you should have thought of that before you cheated on me.

Zak: I need you in my life, you complete me.

Sophia: you don't expect me to believe that... Do you?

She questioned my feelings for her and I realized that it was too late, she had given up on me despite the love we shared a few months ago, and I couldn't help but think about her giving birth to our child but she showed no signs of being pregnant.

Sophia: have a nice life, Zak...I promise that this will be the last time we ever speak to each other again, I am moving on with my life and you should do the same instead of holding onto a love that we will never share again...goodbye Zak!
