Brayden

She hasn’t yet said the words, but I can feel it as we lay here. Maggie has given up on me, on us, and this is goodbye. I hold her close as long as I can. I feel her body shutter in my arms, not from aftershocks of our orgasms but from her silently crying. Finally, knowing I can’t prolong the inevitable, I reach for her dress putting it back on her as well as dressing myself.

I take her by the hand and pull her to standing in my arms. I gently rub her back and her hair. No longer is she trying to hold back the tears. I feel the burning in my eyes as I know I have broken her heart as well as my own.

I whisper, “Maggie, I get it, you don’t need to say the words. Let’s get you home. Harrison wants to speak with me, so I will wait up for him and then take a cot in your dad’s shop. Tomorrow, I will see about getting a hotel until Ryder is ready to leave.”

She sobbed, I continued, “It is okay, baby, it is my entire fault. You deserve better than me. Maggie, I want you to be happy, with or without me. My behavior as of late, gives you no reason to want to find happiness with me and I understand that.”

I can feel the hot tears streaming down my face and I don’t even care. This woman is everything good that has ever been in my life and she wants to be gone.

She looks up at me and says, “Brayden, I love you more than I can ever put into words. I am not saying it is over for good, but it is over for right now. You need to get clean. I need to find myself again. I was so lost in the illusion of our future I ignored our reality and missed the signs of your drug use. I want to be with the Brayden I fell in love with four years ago, the Brayden that wasn’t looking for an escape. The Brayden that would hold me and talk to me for hours on end about everything, give me that Brayden back.”

She holds me tight for a while. Then she pulls away, gathering up the blanket so we can walk back. Before we get to the stairs to get of the beach, she says, “Brayden, let’s just take the time you are rehab to find ourselves again. We can talk after you are clean. One day at a time, no promises and no regrets. If we do find our way back to each other, I want it to be forever with no hesitations.”

All I manage to do is nod. With that we headed back to her parents so I can face Harrison.
