“She at least managed to listen to the last words?”
“I hope”
* * *
Silence was above us, once again. We waited for another hour, hoping for someone to come and take us home. We were starting to feel helpless. I looked at Bette, she was sitting in her previous position. Back to the wall of the cave, her stare into emptiness. I was holding Angelica.
“Bette” I called.
She didn’t respond. She only moved her head and looked at me.
“It’s not your fault” I said with a little voice. I knew what she was feeling right then. I knew her, she was probably kicking herself in the ass for the words she said in the cabin.
She laughed bitterly. “It’s always my fault, T” her voice was trembling.
“What do you mean?” I haven’t see her like that like in years. She looked so fragile. So human.
“Why do you think we’re here? Why do you think the things that happened years ago had happened? It’s all my fault. Everything”
Was she trying to excuse my behavior?
“No way, Bette” I promptly replied. “Don’t you dare take the blame on yourself. It’s my fault as it is yours. We both failed! Not only you, not only me. We both did”
She shook her head. Then her whole body started shaking. She was crying.
“T” she said.
“What?” I asked crawling up to her, still holding Angelica.
“What?” I repeated.
“It hurts” she said sobbing.
“I know, baby”
“No, it hurts… to feel… it hurts” she was holding her chest. “I tried to stop all the feelings, and going to NY helped, but every time I see you and Angelica. I kills me. I become someone who can’t live by herself. I am not the strong one, T. You are. I couldn’t live one minute looking at you and not having you. Knowing that Angelica couldn’t be really mine. I had to stop feeling. I had to learn how or I would be dead”
“Baby, you look more alive now than how you looked back in the cabin”
The stream of tears grew.
“Then why do I feel as if I’m dying?”
“You’re just coming back to life”
PRESENT TIME
When a child is leaving his mother’s womb he immediately starts crying. Everything is new, he can already feel that nothing in this world is as secure as being inside her mother.
I can’t say that everything had been easy from then on. The fights, the fears. They are still there. And it took a whole year for us to come back together. But just like Japanese that mend broken objects by filling the cracks with golds, we learned to fill the years of emptiness with the love and care we always had for each other. And with our biggest treasures: Angelica and our boy, Daniel who I’m currently meeting for the first time as he come into this world.

It is surely short and it leaves possibilities to start another story or a story to fill up the gaps……….but nice, although I’m not completely satisfied……
As I already said, I know it’s too short and maybe something is missing, as I could have done better, but I can’t feel it mine anymore. Maybe it’s because I haven’t worked on it for too long, that’s why I decided to put an end at it, at least to finish it,.
Wanting to put an end to the story says a lot about the kind of woman you are. I admire people who don’t leave unfinished business behind. The story may be short but it is still well written and I hope some time along the track you’ll find it in your heart to write again for you’re really very good at it.
Thank you!
Thankyou fot finishing. It is short but I still loved it. And yes I would love to hear and read more. But iscall on your time. Thankyou for this.
I can’t believe my eyes! Just 2 days ago i reread this story and asked you when you would finish it and here you are!
I agree with the others that it is way to short, but i am very happy that you finished it.
I really hope that you will write more, maybe a new story or fill in the blanks from this one.
