I'm Not Your Innocent Ex-Wife Anymore (#Wattys2018)

Broken Angel

Travis POV

I couldn't believe what I was hearing or more exactly I didn't want to believe it

Admitting that she was right meant facing a past that I only wished to forget

So my mind try denying it

"You are lying that obviously you" I said defensively

"Travis look at me, what do my eyes tell you? You know I could never lie to you; you always said that my eyes were the windows to your soul, so look at them now !!"

What I was seeing right now is not something that I can explain it's like her eyes are broken they don't have the spark that use to shine when the light reflex on them

It was like looking at a broken mirror that I myself was responsible for

It tore me from the inside, like never before

The thing that kept me going all this time was knowing that she was suffering as I was, that she was crying while I was crying

But now I realized what I did, I broke an innocent angel, I stripped her from her wings and tore her halo into pieces

Only God could save me now, but even now I fear it's to late

I didn't know what to say to her, I was ashamed of what I did. There is nothing that I can do now to make it better

No action or saying would ever be enough to fix my broken angel

I was so ashamed to even face her that I simply stood up and walked away

Lissa POV

I thought I would feel something once Travis realized the truth

But I don't...

I feel empty, even more empty than ever

Once he left I went back to my car and cry and cry and cry some more until I had no tears left to shed

I thought about us and  mourn the future that could have been if only...

But if only does not exist it just something we say to try and make us feel better, but is not working right now

I wanted to disappear from the face of the earth and go somewhere else, where I didn't have to feel like this

After a while I was able to calm myself down enough where I could finally think straight

The first thing that pop into my mind was the photo that Travis had shown me early today

Something about it was not right and I am not talking about the fact that it was my face

Instead I am talking about the background it look familiar like I been there before, I just couldn't quite place it

It kind of reminds me of my childhood home, maybe? I am not so sure

But one thing is definitely clear I wouldn't stop until I know the whole truth

No matter the cost I need to know who is responsible for the failure of my marriage

At this point I have nothing to lose but a lot to gain
