When A Heart Gets Broken

Part 33: Detour

Reagan was at the window sill looking at the busy parking lot below. She can see her old apartment from afar. Who will ever think that the place she called home for almost a year would just be part of her past now? 

When Jonas admitted that he was having an affair with Carisse the blonde radiologist at the hospital, Reagan was angry at him. Not because she felt cheated but because she fully knows why he did it. If he loved her, she won't feel this guilt.

" Why don't you want to move in with me?" Rae can sense the anger and frustration in his voice.

" Its not because I don't want to. It's..."

" You're still not ready?...again?"

 He walked quietly away from her. Just before stepping out of the door, he stopped and looked back at her. "I'm just tired of this waiting game Rae." That's the last time he set foot on her apartment. 

She waited for  a few weeks for Jonas to call her...he didn't. When she did, his number was out of service. She recalled in her mind what she would say to her if she sees him again. She's feeling all this guilt, a heavy feeling that she hurt him so much that he won't even frequent the hospital cafeteria that they used to see each other. At the end, she found out that he transferred to the nearby hospital. 

When Rae was offered a full-time job as an RN close to her Mom's house, she took the opportunity to be with her family. Taylor and Ryder's papers were processed a year after she left the Philippines. She saw them six months after they came to live with their Mom in Buffalo. 

They were ecstatic when she moved to be with them in Buffalo.

That was 2 years and 6 months ago. She's here to attend a seminar and to reconnect with Carrie her bff who still works at the OR. Her thoughts are still occupied with all those she gained and lost in life when she felt her best friends' soft chubby arms around her. 

They were so happy to see each other again.
