25, Attacked

+15 BONUS

I had just finished cleaning up when my phone rang. For some reason, I always find cleaning relaxing. It’s a way for me to take my mind off what’s stressing me out.

Since I was back on my feet and could fend for myself, I let Lydia go. She was a great help, but I didn’t need a nurse anymore. Plus I preferred to be independent.

I cross the room and pick up my phone. For a moment, I’m tempted to hang up when I see Letty’s name flashing. I was still a bit pissed at her but a part of me also understood her. I would also do anything for the man I loved, including trying to bring him and his estranged sister together.

“Hey” I answer walking up to my room.

“I’m so sorry, Ava. I crossed the line even after I made a promise to never speak about Travis” the emotion in her voice caught me off guard.

She sounded genuine and a little bit sad. I was surprised and I didn’t know what to do. I wasn’t used to people apologizing to me and actually meaning it. As a matter of fact, none of those around me has ever apologized when they wronged me.

“Letty…”

She cuts me off before I can finish. “You were right. We can’t expect you to just forget. To just

pretend like he hasn’t hurt you for years. No amount of remorse from him is enough to erase the

emotional pain he put you through. I love him, God, do I love him, but my love can’t blind me to his

faults and his awful treatment of his own sister. You’re a beautiful soul and yet he crushed you

with his cruelty so how can I ask you to just forgive him years of mistreatment? It wouldn’t be

fair. Our friendship has come to mean a lot to me and I don’t want to ruin it”

I sigh. Already feeling tired and emotionally drained. It would be so much easier to just forget and
