Chapter5
Karissa
I stumbled a step back in horror at the sight, an excruciating surge of spear stabbing straight into the middle of my heart.
I felt expanded by the tremors spreading throughout my body, wobbling back and forth, yet unable to move. My hands came up to my chest, rubbing fiercely, to soothe the unbearable pain.
Like a sword jabbing deep inside, tearing past my muscles, ramming right into my chest, in my heart shredding it apart in two, twisting, digging, ripping. The massive hole bleeding out the trust it harboured, the faith it treasured. My mouth clasped shut tight, to hold the breath that was struggling to escape, afraid it was my last breath, I held it inside. Letting it mix with the bile rushing up my
throat.

My Keith, he, he was there, in that bed, he never likes sleeping beside anyone but me. But he was sleeping beside that brunette, beautiful slender brunette, those palms that used to caress my face, Me, with so much tenderness and care now resting on her skin, woman that wasn’t his anything.
Was it possible to even feel frozen to death and hot molten lava being poured onto your heart at the same time? To feel someone strangling you, with all their might, yet you’re still somehow shockingly alive.

Like an iron–clad fist had pounded inside your chest, grabbing your damaged heart and crushing it into a pulp of blood. Is this what, che–cheating feels like?
A forbidden word, an ominous occurrence and one of the most sinful, inexcusable acts.
“I don’t know if this would affect our friendship but I like you, Karry, more than a friend.”
“Would it be too soon if I wanted you to be my girlfriend?”
“Will you Marry me Doll?”
“I love you Doll,”
“I am only yours.”
“I can’t wait to marry you.”
“I want to have a herd of babies with you.”
Words, his beautiful words echoed through my head, shining, chiming peacefully, then shattering down into tainted, smelly dust in my mind. Our memories flow through my mind so full of blissful, crazy, emotional, romantic moments, us building an incredible bond.
I couldn’t move my feet, the cruel display of betrayal in front of my eyes sealing me in my place, I couldn’t blink, would it disappear if I blinked? It was only when someone shook me violently that I was able to comprehend the surroundings. I turned around in surprise, my brother was there.
All the things around me were spinning in a lazy blurred manner. I turned to him, my hands reaching up in a torturous daze.
“Corwin?” I asked as he held my shivering hand looking at me with empathy.
“Karry,” his hands caressed my face with tenderness as tears glistened in his eyes.
He tossed one raging look behind me, into the room where the scenario of fny destroyed life happened Following his gaze I gaped at the dreadful truth, a droplet trickled and landed on my cheeks, and I raised my hands to touch it. “Let’s get you home,” I heard.
Home?
Muffling the gut–wrenching sob inside my mouth, I slowly backed off from the deception scene incapable of handling the pressure it poured down on me. No amount of medicine or proteins could ever give you the strength to handle it.
My legs shook violently with my
fumbling steps, my brother reached out to help me. I grasped his hand, panting, gasping for air.

I love you doll.
Only ever loved you.
You’re more than enough, you’re my everything. My fantasies and my dreams.
Liar
Cheater
“Karry,” slow wasn’t enough. I needed to run, to flee this hell I’ve stepped in. So I did. I dashed away, staggering down the stairs, bumping midway into God knows what, it hurt for a second before the pain of my soul crying took over.
I began rushing, without an idea where or who was I running towards. Ghosts, spirits, visuals, whatever it was of that deceiving person circles me, calling, laughing, mocking.
“Karry, slow down.” I heard a fading voice, calling out behind me. I darted faster trying to avoid it.
“KARRY,” the very next second a loud honking echoed in the distance, and I was rapidly hauled back.
“Karry don’t beat yourself for that cheating bastard.” I heard Leona exclaim as she hugged me crying, I stood there frigidly.
Why wasn’t I crying? Where were my tears? Why am I not dead yet?
Cheating, Keith, that woman.
Flashes of the same heartbreaking vision I witnessed a while ago hit me again.
My fiance. My Keith.
I doubled over, taking support from the wall nearby, coughing as I held my stomach, it twisted in painful knots, bitter thickness erupted and I threw up all over the pavement.
