The Trilogy [completed]

Downfall (44)

Carmen

Watching Alonso hooked up to these machines all kinds of tubes going in and out of him. Of all our years together I've never seen him so...vulnerable. It breaks my heart really.

"Do you need anything pops?" Alex asked breaking the silence sitting in the room with us.

Isabel, Alex, Camila and I came to the hospital with him. Divorced or not he's my girls father so I just feel like a piece of me will always be his.

"Just some water my mouth is really dry." He mumbled clearing his throat.

"Ok you want cold or what?"

"Yeah cold is good." Alex nods heading out. "Please stop crying girls."

Both Isabel and Camila haven't stopped crying for a second. I did shed a few tears but not to many.

"Why don't you two go get some air to calm your nerves. Go call Chris and Max let them know we go here safe." They hugged him and left out.

I sat in the chair next to his bed. It was hard seeing him like this the man I once loved.

"Can I tell you something since it's just us right now?" He spoke grunting from moving around.

"Stop moving before you make something happen." I grab his arm. His hand came down on it rubbing his thumb on my skin.

"I'm not sure if I ever really apologized for the way I treated you when we were together."

I moved my hand sitting back in the chair.

"Not one day did I ever regret marrying you nor have I stopped loving you. My actions simply were formed from guilt and fear. I know I did you wrong and out of fear of you finding out and guilt of knowing what I did what wrong."

"You know I've forgiven you already...I did that the day our divorce was finale but I still to this day don't understand why. I was a good wife right and mother I cooked cleaned stepped down from my dreams to cater to you dream of the perfect family. Some how I wasn't good enough so you had to step out on me. I just don't get it." My throat began to feel dry and tight. Clearing my throat I look away from him taking deep breaths.

"I'll be completely honest with you. It was just a one night stand after a parent teacher meeting. We had been arguing for a while because you wanted to finish school to be a doctor and I was...an asshole basically. I took your dreams to keep mine and that wasn't right. You were the perfect wife and set a great example for our daughters...I wish I could make it all better or just reverse time so it never happened."

"What good would that do?" I asked arms crossed.

"I might've never lost you." He sad looking deep in my eyes.

For that split second I saw the old Alonso the one I truly fell for. Shaking my head I get up.

"But her. I saw that woman just about everyday smiling in her face and she knew what she had did to me! But I'm done with that. It happened you had a child it's over with now."
