Together We Are Stronger

Chap. 22

Amy's POV:

        I never thought I would be one to suffer such heartache. I had heard about how much pain loving so much could bring. Heck, I had heard it and witnessed it through the eyes of my mother. When my father had walked out of our lives, I had seen how broken it had left her. If someone from our past saw her today, they wouldn't believe their eyes, they wouldn't believe that she was the same Farrah that had spent endless nights crying her heart out. The sole reason being that now she was happily married with Brian and was happy in general.

        I thought that I had felt pain for seeing my mom so broken, but finding out about Karma and Liam had hit me like a wrecking ball. My heart didn't know what or how to feel. It was just tightening itself more and more as I let the tears cascade down. Most of them were sad tears, but there were also a few anger tears. It had been stupid of me to think that I had found love, that I had found that one person who woould never hurt me. I thought I had found someone who wouldn't let me relive the pain I had felt when I saw my mother cry and blame herself.... And in a way I was right... Except that the pain that is radiating through me right now is extremely worse.

        It's like my brain can't stop sending messages to my body. My mind can't help but hear every single word that Lauren and Shane had told me. It is nothing but pure torture. It burns my insides as I think about everything that had gone down in a matter of seconds.

        I find myself stepping on the gas and the car feels as if it is traveling at the speed of light. Or maybe it feels like it because I had a bit to drink... Either way, I didn't slow down.

        Karma... Oh Karma... I want to hate her but I can't. I just can't. I love her too much. I gave her my heart to do with it as she pleased and now I don't know whether to regret it or not. If anyone knew what was going through my head, they'd think I was crazy for still continuing to love the person who had just crushed my world. What can I say? I must love the pain.

        A bright lights shines upon my face. 

        I hear tires screeching.

        All of a sudden, a horn in being honked.

        My eyes grow wide.
