Don't Blame Me

"Do you know why I hate you" he yelled.

"No, enlighten me"

"You blamed me for everything. I gave you so much from my life and you blame me for being more successful than you. It's not my fault, life isn't fair. I got where I am through work. I didn't finish college or get a fancy degree, but God knows I worked twice as hard for it. So don't come here with your high and mighty attitude feeling better than me." Breathing heavily he sighed "leave my office, call Stacy in."

Quietly looking down I left his office "I didn't blame you" I whispered. If he heard, I don't know. Taking all the will power that I have not to yell that I still loved him I closed the door behind me.

Yet she is not where she thought she'd be.

Yet he has everything Lina wants.

What happens when their different ideals cross paths? Do old feelings reappear or does their hated drown them both.
