"That I'm sorry? Fine. I'm sorry. Is that what fixes this?" "I don't want an apology that only exists because I asked for one." "Then what do you want?" "I want you to actually see what you did. Not perform regret. See it." I held his gaze, steady even though my chest wasn't. "And I don't think you can. I think somewhere along the way you convinced yourself that wanting me back is the same thing as understanding why I left. It isn't." • • •

Miss Sarah asked and I shooky head. No one told me why we were here,all I was just given was looks of disbelief. "You are here because you hurt your mother ,you stabbed her and other behaviors". Miss Sarah explained. "Do you think stabbing your mother was wrong?". Sarah asked. "No I don't think it was wrong,mom always got in my way". I replied boldy and mom gasped. Was my reply wrong? I thought I was told the truth ? Is lying what I should do? I just didn't know, I was too long then to comprehend what was happening.

His eyes fell on my lips as I let out the breath that came out Sweet and soft. A part of me felt like I was doing something bad, that someone made a mistake doesn't justify me doing it as well. You are not the type of woman Irene, two wrongs don't make a right . My breaths turned shallow when I thought about those words, my mind was racing at the fact that I had to fix this in some way.

His touch was not welcoming, here I was thinking of a way to get the thought of cheating out of my head and he was right there triggering it.

He spurted out. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Did I see something wrong? Was he really asking me if I saw something wrong? Wasn't the question supposed to be, Did he do something wrong? Gosh! He didn't even see anything wrong in what he did. He thought it was okay. If we think about it well, it was actually okay. He made no mistake since there was nothing between us but...

You've just made a mistake, she's not for you to touch, she's not for you to have sex with!!!”

His face lost color. “Justine, that's low of you.” He told me with his strained voice that I didn't feel a pinch of guilt. “What's wrong? At least you and your father have more in common now I guess it's true what they say that Apple does not fall far from the tree,” He stomped towards me, then held his hand high in the air.
