Breaking the Palisade (A Jacob Perez Love Story)

Prologue.

I was driving down a dark, long road. Tears plastered on my face as they began to fog up my vision, I wiped at my eyes hastily. I was under so much stress and I had so many questions in my head that remained unanswered. Why was I born with this life and the trouble that remained in it? Why did I let my sister's troubles become mine, to only ruin my relationship with the one I planned on spending the rest of my life with? What could I have done to stop all this from happening?

I was interrupted by my thoughts from the sound of my phone buzzing . I looked at the caller ID to see Jacob calling. I answered hesitantly to try to hide the fact that I was crying.

"Hello?"

"Kia. I know your angry right now, but please hear me out, it's not what you think it is." My husband replied hurriedly as if I was going to hang up on him any minute.

"What did I do Jake? What did I do for you to want her? What did I do to make you look at her the way you use to look at me? I know I haven't been giving you much attention lately and I'm sorry for that, but I-"

"Stop right there Ki." Jacob  interrupted. "You have no reason to explain yourself or apologize, you aren't in the wrong here I am."

Right when he said that, I had the sudden urge to do something I haven't done in a while... I smiled.

"I lo-" CRASH!

I was interrupted by the sound of my window shattering and my vision going black. All the events in my life were going through my head like a movie of some sort. I didn't know if I was dead or alive, but the one thing I did know is that my mind was finally at ease...
