Falling

Six months

Six long months of my being miserable and questioning my self-worth.
Six long months of him not giving a fuck and living his best life.
Months of him bragging to his friends that he cheated on me. Because I was such a crazy psycho bitch.

Kayla's POV
I can't eat, and I can't sleep. I've been through some shit in my life, but I've never felt how I'm feeling now. I understand how someone can be all about you and then just POOF onto someone else... I couldn't take it anymore. Something needed change. Maybe he will come around.

Eventually, he did.

We hung out for the day, and it was as if nothing had changed. But I knew he still had a girlfriend, so I wasn't pushing it. Most people would probably say we shouldn't have been hanging out at all anyway. But when you have ties with someone, incredibly emotional, it is different in a sense. He had come over again shortly afterward, and the kids were ecstatic. They missed him. I cried because it was a shock to see not much had changed.

That same night he decided to come back home to try this again. But we are not without our challenges. Mainly because I couldn't believe that had happened between us at all. I didn't think that someone who had obsessed over the fact that I was their dream girl would've done me so dirty. But we live, and we learn throughout every situation we are in. He used to cry and tell me how sorry he was for everything. But I still challenged it anyway because I was hurting still.
We eventually grew out of that stage and ended up progressing.

Not every situation turns out like this, though.

We decided to get married in August 2017, and part of me feels like this was his ultimate way of showing his being sorry and gratitude towards me. I'm sure many people were confused about this, but oh well. We had worked through our problems, as surprising as that may seem. Occasionally we fought here and there, but nothing like before. And in January of 2018, I found out I was pregnant! But I knew it'd be okay this time because he loved my kids as his own, and he was excited to be a dad. And in March of 2018, I bought my first house! No more renting and dealing with the heat not working during winter. And eventually, We had the cutest little girl, and it was amazing watching him grow from this immature boy to now a dad and a family man.
