~The thing about love is that it catches you unawares, it turns up in the most unexpected places, even when you aren't looking for it~

Aaliyah:
Breakfast! My favorite meal of the day.
Breaksfast is the place I splurge with calories, then I spend the rest of the day getting them off. It sets the mood and pace of the whole day for me whether I eat it alone or with Ammar.
As we sat in silence having breakfast, I saw a video of two adorable babies as I scrolled through my phone, I watched it with so much joy and admiration.
"What are you watching? Babies?" Ammar asked
"Yes, they are so adorable" I replied without taking my eyes off my phone.
"I bet you love babies, and you would want to have babies of your own huh? He asked
"Yes, at least they'll keep the house more lively. I'll be less lonely" I said, without thinking about the consequences of my speech
"So you want to have babies with me just so you can tie me down right? you want to do whatever it takes to keep in this marriage. Marriage is not by force, You're just unbelievable" Ammar said
"No, I didn't mean it like that. This is not a movie, I wouldn't want to tie you down against your will, but it'd be nice to have a family of my own" I said as I wondered why he is trying to make a big deal out of me wanting to have babies.
"I will never have children with you, I don't want my children to be anything like you. You're a terrible person with a terrible personality. I would not forgive myself if i brought little monsters into this world, you're enough to deal with" Ammar said with pure disgust
I've gotten used to Ammar's constant insults and accusations that I wasn't surprised with what he just said, though it hurt a lot.
I looked down at my feet, with my eyes so young, and so full of pain. Two lonely drops of winter rain, And no tear could these eyes sustain, For too much had they seen in Ammar's house.
I quickly wiped out my tears when I heard someone come into the house. I looked up to see Kim, Ammar's friend making her way to the dinning area.
"It's that time of the year again" Kim the petit Asian chimed as she walked through the door frame
And what time is that? Christmas? Ammar asked
"Of course not, My birthday daar" She replied with a hint of excitement in her voice
"You're both invited, here are your IV's" Kim said, as she handed the invitation cards over to me.
"One IV is enough, Aaliyah is not coming with me" Ammar said
On hearing that, I quickly returned one of the IV's to Kim. But Kim rejected it, she gave it back to me.
"Ah ah, No No! don't bother showing up if Aaliyah is not coming with you" Kim told Ammar
Ammar has no choice, so he agreed to her demands
A part of me wanted to go to Kim's birthday party, the other part didn't. Because I have gotten used to being invisible, I can't even remember the last time I went out just for the sake of it.
I had stopped attending anything or leaving the house in general. I just couldn't stand seeing all the happy and healthy couple without wanting to bawl.
The one thing that keeps me going is the mix tape my Ex boyfriend gave me on our one year dating anniversary, I listened to it all the time.
Kim joined us for breakfast, and surprisingly I enjoyed her company. I discovered that we have the same interests, only that I have more of an appreciation for the outdoors
