Big Decisions

Hera gently tapped on the keys to Bryce's laptop as she tried to figure out and navigate her way through the website. She had asked him for it and after trying to figure out what she needed it for countless times, he had given up and had no other choice but to give it to her. He had even suggested trying to help her with whatever she wanted to use it for but she only asked him to teach her how to use a search engine and after that, she didn't say anything more. She ended their conversation with saying that she would do it herself. Each time he walked in on her using it, she shut it down and discarded it completely covering all traces of whatever she was up to online. Somehow it bothered him. Was she trying to hide something away from him or was she planning not to let him figure it out at all. Well, since she wouldn't let him know what it is, he won't pry or force her to tell him even though it was eating at his curiosity.

"Maybe she was texting Ben." He had thought to himself repeatedly but then again, they haven't heard from him for a while now and Hera had promised to keep her distance away from him. She doesn't lie so there's no way in hell she was texting that monster. Just as Hera logged into the website, she heard preceding footsteps and hid the laptop under her pillow. She knew it was Bryce. He was the only person who comes into her side of the bedroom.

The door gently pushed open and he stuck his face inside. "Can i come in?"

"Of course."

He opened the door fully and let himself inside. Hera noticed that he looked rather pale than usual and the usual smile and excitement that lit up in his eyes whenever he got back from work wasn't there anymore. "The business meeting didn't go well?" She asked when he took off his jacket and made to sit beside her on the bed. "Did something happen at work today?"

He looked at her briefly not knowing how to answer that. Lying was suddenly starting to look like a chore when it came to her but how on earth does he tell her what had happened today? He was already feeling bad as it is. "The meeting went well."

She touched his face affectionately. "Then why are you sad?"

"I had a very long day at work. Plus, I missed you so much as well." He leaned in to kiss her forehead but she knew that it was nothing but a ploy to stop her from asking more questions. He doesn't want to tell her what's going on. "Go on." She urged adamantly. "Tell me what happened Bryce."

He gave her request a little thought before deciding to spill. "I hurt someone today, deeply. Someone very important to me and now i feel bad and guilty about it. Although I've apologized but it doesn't make it any easier for me. It makes me feel like a shit-bad person." He quickly corrected himself. "It makes me feel like a bad person."
