Being that Aaron can't keep lying to his children but he figures it will save them some pain and let their mind wanders to where she could be at this moment. Aaron always let his children know that she loves them very much, and she will come home soon. He doesn't want to lie to them more than he already has or confuse them, but they always ask him when and why? When is she coming home and why did she leave them? For the life of him, he couldn't answer those questions because he wanted to know too.
He wants to scream and let out all of his anger and pain but he couldn't, something wouldn't let him. His feelings are numb, and he keeps spacing in and out as his kids are trying to get him to play with them. Not seeing Breanna as soon he gets home, not hearing her voice or not smelling the sweet perfume on her body and most of all her intoxicating smile that lits up the whole room.
He is missing her terribly, and no one could get him out of his state he was in except for one. When that person comes to light and helps him let his guard down again it will be beautiful but complicated. Things at home really hasn't change much, the atmosphere of the home feels a little empty and less lively but the routine stays the same.
Aaron tries to pull it together and keep a smile on his face, but he knew that he can't put up a brave face for long. He feels like he is going to break, and it will come sooner than he expected. Many times before he tries to look for more clues around the house, hoping she had left something else behind but found nothing. He has even torn the house apart in anger and throw things out of its place, still had no luck.
Aaron has made himself clear that he wouldn't let this event drives him into the nuthouse, yeah it was just a woman, but it's his woman, the woman that he would do anything for, the woman who held him up when he was down, the woman who he thought he knew like the back of his hand. More secrets and more lies keep coming up that when he knew that he isn't liking the way she shields him from her and how she didn't trust him like he thought she did.
One thing he hated is being lied to considering his past and not being heard. Aaron knows in a real marriage you are supposed to compromise with your spouse and talk about what's bothering them and she didn't do any of that which shows him some of what he needed to know from her. Aaron loves his wife deeply but when she doesn't talk to him and keeps all these feelings bottled up inside, he makes him think that Breanna doesn't love or trust him enough to tell him.
Bringing him down to his lowest point making him think that he should have done for her or been more supportive to her, but in reality, there was nothing he could have done because Breanna's mind was set and nothing was going to change her mind. His mind drifts off to a memory of them together, making him smile and laugh.
"Baby, I'm scared." Her lips quivered at the cold air rushing inside the plane, holding on tight to the parachute.
Aaron chuckled at her while looking at her.
"Ima be right beside you, Bre holding your hand. Just remember to pull this lever when we get halfway."
"Okay." She mumbled.
"Just relax and enjoy it." He smiled at her then kissed her forehead.
"I don't know why I let you talk me into this shit! You know I'm afraid of heights!" She yelled in a frightening tone.
"Baby, just breathe. You will feel so much better when you hit the ground."
"If I die ima haunt you for the rest of your life."
"Mhm, I wouldn't mind being haunted by you."
"Oh, shut up." She laughed a little, trying to die down her nervousness but it wasn't working.
They walk to the opening of the plane.
"Give me your hand!" Aaron held out his hand, letting her take it.
"Don't let go!" She screamed.
"Never! On the count of three. We are going to jump. One. Two. Three!"
They jump out of the plane together, and Breanna started screaming at the top of her lungs while Aaron was laughing at her.
"I'm gonna kill you, Aaron!" She screamed. "I'm gonna kill you!"
"Bre! Bre! Look at me!" He yelled loudly as he smiled.
Breanna quickly looked at him as her facial expression said it all. She was terrified.
"Breathe! I'm right here! I'm not going to let anything happened to you!" He assured her.
When he told her that her body and her thoughts slowly relax after she knew that she could trust him more than she did before.
That's it. He thought while smiling as she closed her eyes for a brief moment.
As soon as Breanna felt good and carefree that she started laughing and whooping. Aaron knew that she was going to like it after she became relax, and he accomplished something that day and felt proud of that. As they get farther down from the sky, Aaron hollered at her.
"Pull the lever now!"
"Okay!"
She pulled it, letting the parachute active as Aaron did the same. When their feet hit the ground Breanna hugs him tightly while smiling.
"How do you feel?"
"Good. Better than I expected." She smiled.
"See, I told you it wasn't that bad." He smiled.
"Mhm. I guess I did need to overcome my fears." She chuckled.
"Yeah, you did. Now you can do anything you want without having any fear in your body." He smiled, not taking his eyes off of hers.
"I love you so much. Thank you for this."
"You're welcome. I love you too, Breanna."
Aaron kissed her as he was being kissed back, her arms were wrapped around his neck while he pulled her closer, holding her waist. They stopped the kiss and looked at each other while smiling.
That experience taught them a lot of things, and they were supposed to take it with them in their marriage and faced every obstacle together.
It's like he can't be infuriated with her for a long time no matter how many days, months that they have spent apart. He wonders what's changed from that day to where Breanna couldn't trust him, but it wasn't him that she didn't trust. It was her that didn't trust herself enough and couldn't bear the consequences and the outcome after it.
He promises himself that he will hear her out when she comes back to him and their kids, but if she has him waiting too long all bets are going to be off and his anger will show to the extreme. Breanna would have thought that she has seen all of the sides to him... she hasn't seen it all yet.
Hey y'all. I hope y'all like this chapter.
Thanks for waiting patiently and hopefully the next chapter will be out in three days. ❤
