Loop. I am running in a loop. Its not ending neither is it stopping.

There has not been a single night since the wedding when i haven't cried myself to sleep. And there has never been a day since, on which my friends haven't asked me if i am okay or not. I think even they were tired of asking me. Caroline would not look me in the eye for longer than needed or else i could see the sparkle of her tears, while Eric would just look at me scared that i would just drop dead out of the blue and the girls now knew how i ended up marrying Aaron and they tried their best to not bring up any topic about him or my wedding for small talk.

The day after the wedding I had gone to my own house and collected the stuff that i needed. Bren had already sent my clothes and some other necessities to Aaron's house. But there were still some things i wanted to get.  

Everybody was still at Kawartha Lakes and would come back two days later, thankfully i didn't encounter Aaron until everybody was back home. Eric called me when i woke up the next morning but i did not receive it.

I didn't know what to say and i didn't want to talk about it or cry on anybody's shoulder. And after him calling a thousand times that day i finally picked up.

"Thank God. Veronica are you okay? did he hurt you? Why weren't you picking up?" I was sitting in my car that was parked outside Aaron's house. I had just come back after collecting the things i needed from my house.

"Eric i am fine. I really am okay. I was at my house collecting the stuff i wanted to bring to Aaron's house and i put my phone on silent. I'm sorry". I lied to him because i didn't wanna talk about it.

And that is what i have been doing for the past 3 months. I looked or tried to at least look fine. Which wasn't working out that well.

I guess every body was used to seeing my cried out red puffy eyes every other day. When it became really noticeable and people besides my friends started asking me if i was okay-i started covering them with makeup. I had also lost weight and was more skinnier. i just didn't feel like eating at all.

Brenda would call me every 3rd day and ask me to come over but i would just refuse and when i did go i would just eat whatever she made for me and sleep watching tv besides her, not feeling like talking to anyone, James also tried to cheer me up by taking me to an amusement park but it didn't go that well. 

We were sitting and eating ice-cream from our cones when suddenly a woman bumped into Jame's hand and he smacked his ice-cream all over his face. That was the one time i laughed openly but while laughing my stomach clenched in a different way and laughs turned to sob and i ran back to the car with a worried James tailing behind, i didn't tell him anything because he would just spill everything to Brenda. I just said i had a huge fight with Aaron and that's all. I know he didn't buy it but zipped up after that. 

I would not talk like i did before. I would not laugh like i did before. Every happy expression was forced.

After that night i had seen Aaron only a few times. I went to college without missing a day and visited mom's grave often. And would go to the beach near Aaron's house and spend hours sitting blank. Tried to stay out as much as i could.
