Third Person

"So when does this little vacation of yours end baby sis?" Micah questioned.

"Why are you getting tired of me already" Brooklyn joked but that could be the case as she had been in town for a little over 3 weeks now.

She only intended for her little hiatus to be for one week, except she just couldn't bring myself to pack up her luggage and head back to reality. Here the woman felt protected, she felt like nothing could harm her, however back in the Bay it was the complete opposite.

The wedding planners indecisiveness wasn't helping her anxiety either as she had been on edge ever since her arrival. Nothing seemed to calm her nerves, even visiting constantly with her brother. Those wired nerves prevented her from getting a good night sleep, as she would lie awake at night on the verge of having a panic attack because every time the woman would attempt to sleep, she would have these nightmares where I see him and its like I'm going through the pain all over again.

Therefore she had to resort back to taking my medication that leaves her irritated and has ruined her mood as she would often wake up feeling depressed.

But knowing that he was back home, in the very own place where she resides scared the living day lights out of her, as she already knew that things will never be the same, hell she probably won't ever be the same.

Especially not after he gets ahold of you.

"Shut up" she spoke aloud. .

"What was that?" Micah furrowed his eyebrows.

"N-nothing, and just so you know I'm on break until the end of the month" she lied before realizing that she basically just added 2 more weeks to her 'vacation'.

"Really? I thought weddings were time delicate situations" He stated. She knew he didn't buy her excuse, but hoped that he wouldn't push it.

"They are, the wedding is just on hold that's all" the curly headed woman shrugged.

"And why is that? I mean NBA superstars just don't put their weddings on hold for nothing" he stated.

"I don't know why the weddings on hold, I'm just the planner, it's not like I'm apart of the relationship" she explained although, she was pretty sure that she has been the root of the couples recent problems.

"Okay" he put his hands up defensively, "I was just asking, but to be honest you and I both know that's a load of crap" Micah looked on at his sister for a moment before continuing, "listen I don't know what's going on with you, but whatever it is I hope you know that running away isn't going to solve anything".

"That's not what you told me all those years ago" she spat but immediately regretted it once she saw the look of pain flash through Micah's eyes only for it to be replaced by anger.

"Micah I'm so-"

"Listen I took the blame for you, because you had a life to live, I didn't want to see you rotting away behind bars" he stated, "you have that chance but, you obviously aren't living life the way you should if you're not facing your problems" he finished as he shook his head.

"Micah" she pleaded, but despite her wishes he hung up the phone and signaled for the guard to take him back to his cell.

That familiar guilty feeling washed over Brooklyn as I saw him being handcuffed and lead past the other side of the door.

The woman didn't think that it was possible but now she felt even worse than she did when she arrived. But she knew it was her fault for not communicating and she couldn't help but think that it was her fault that he was even in here.
