*My breath catches, and the world around us seems to fade into a dull roar. My eyes search his, wide and disbelieving.* "Never... stopped what?" *My voice is a fragile whisper, terrified to hope.*

*His eyes search yours, the ice in them cracking to reveal the raw pain beneath. His voice is a low, rough whisper, the words forced from a throat tight with everything he's held back.* "Loving you."

*I shake my head, my voice trembling.* No... that's not what happened.

*He leans in, his face just inches from yours, his voice dripping with venom.* "Then tell me. What did happen? Because the only thing I'm seeing is a liar who doesn't even have the decency to admit what she did."

my stepmother-*she almost was gonna explain but it would just sound like another excuse,so she gave up tears in her eyes* excuse me. *and she left to go to the woman's restroom to cry*

*He watches you, his expression filled with a pain that mirrors your own. His voice is a raw, broken whisper.* I am so sorry. *He slowly, carefully, sinks to his knees in front of you.*
