Breathing Again

Old patterns

Rob's POV:

The first day of rehearsal felt very strange and like homecoming at the same time. Acting out any scene with Kristen was as easy as breathing, which David noticed at once. He said he was glad that he had only planned 3 days for our rehearsal together. It would be a relaxed first week, which gave me a lot of time to think. Processing what happened last night was tough. Knowing how unstable Kristen was awoke something in me. I felt like it was my job alone to help her recover and discover her genuine happiness again. Working together again after all these years generally felt like old patterns were resurrecting. However, my daily calls with Suki reminded me that though it felt like it, these were NOT the old days. We're both in other relationships, but if I listened very closely into my heart, I had to admit that I just couldn't resist Kristen's charme. I found myself falling for her again. The two voices in my head seemed to fight over right and wrong almost every minute of the day. My head told me to stick to the present, help Kristen get through her condition, but strictly as a friend. My heart screamed something else. It tried to tell me that I never was as happy as with Kristen, never before and never after. Should I fight for my true love even if many reasons spoke against it?

Kristen's POV:

Was it fate that even though I took these meds for literally almost a decade, noone had ever noticed and the one day I spend with him he finds out immediately? Maybe my subconscious wanted him to. Maybe it was telling me that though I tried to convince myself otherwise every single day, none of the therapies had worked. Maybe my tiny inner voice was right and I would never really get over losing my true love?
