I never have felt so scared before. How is it that one person could immediately change your life? My legs stopped moving and my neck was restrained in one position. I started breathing heavily. I was not ready to talk to Sarah and quite frankly, was not ready to see her.
And that was what I did. I pushed open the door and quickly closed it, all in one swift motion. My body did not turn one degree upon hearing her voice. The door closed with a resounding 'THUD'. Then I heard someone crying on the other side of the door. I knew that it was Sarah.
I wanted to rush out and comfort her. Tell her that everything was alright and that I forgive her. I really was going to do it but couldn't bring myself to it. I dejectedly walked to the living room and laid down on the couch, hoping that she will leave before Emma comes back home or before my parents wake up.
For ten minutes. Ten grueling minutes, I listened to Sarah sobbing on my doorstep and whispering "Jake..." and "I'm sorry..." I listened to every single word she said with tears streaming down my face and my head in my hands.
Eventually she moved away from my door. I listened to the pitter patter of her shoes moving away. I let out a huge depressed sigh and moved on with my day.
