Broken (Completed and editing)

And again, it was you.

"I keep so much pain inside myself. I grasp my anger and loneliness and hold it in my chest. It has changed me into something I have never meant to be. It has transformed me into a person I do not recognize; but I don't know how to let it go"

Veronica's POV:-

I believe those who you love have the power to make you happy in seconds and destroy you without even trying. My whole life I have tried to obscure myself from situations I did not have the ability to deal with and maybe that was the reason I do not know what to do now. How would I?

This very man standing in front of me was not even at the back of my mind when I sat in that car with dad (At least not thought as a husband).

I thought he was gone for good now that I was married to someone. Somewhere in my mind I had put together a decision to never think about him or see him. Yet here I am today and here he is, I have no idea what to say or do except stare at him like a sloth, literally having a hard time moving my shock faster.

It took a whole lot to speak, but I converged all my will power to speak and only one thing came out.

"Aaron?......"

I don't know if it was a question or a statement but he seemed calm and collected to see me while all I could feel was my head in a situation of overdrive like in spongebob where in spongebob's head there are so many of him and they are all in a frenzy to find something.

He smiled but it did not reach his eyes like it used to when I met him before even when I met him at dad's office.

"Am I......mar......marri.........tto you" I couldn't speak anymore, no sensible words came out it was a question that was circling my mind from the moment I saw him. God! The time he took to answer were the longest seconds of my life.

"Yes" he spoke the one thing I dreaded the most, this was too much to take in.

What is happening in my life?

Everything started to blur and the room started spinning exactly like how stupidly cliche my life was getting. I tried to find some support but couldn't find anything nearby, with my unlucky luck. Two large hands gripped both my shoulders to keep me standing but moved me backwards at the same time. No I didn't need help.

Why does he have to help me when every cell in my body is willing me to blame him.

The bed hit the back of my wobbly legs and I sat immediately feeling the weight of whats been happening-crushing on me.

"Are you okay"? A familiar voice inquired and all hope of this being a dream faded. My vision was starting to get normal but the throbbing in my head was still there. It felt as if someone was constricting the blood vessels within my skull.

"Why did you marry me, Aaron?" I looked in his green eyes with accusation in mine. Pulling myself away from his touch I moved back on the opposite side. He looked at his feet and kept quiet.

I stood up, forgotten was the headache. It was the heartache that was unbearable. Yes it was a heartache even though he still was a stranger to me.

"I was so stupid. It's all my fault I should have known it. I should have realized it from when dad asked me and you were the one who had left his office that day. Dad told me I had met you once because he didn't know how you've been meeting me." I talked to nobody in specific and made myself look like a patient who had just run out of a psychiatric ward.

"Why did you do this and how did you do this?" I looked up asking him and was met with silence. He didn't even look at me. "Why aren't you answering Aaron? What sick game is this? God!! Why am I even here!!" I panicked standing up feeling nauseous now. He stood up and walked to me.
