Guilt
is the worst emotion you could ever feel.
It
closes around you, everywhere you go, like the devil himself is hovering around
your back.
Travis
Warner had been with the devil for a year now.
He
stared at the perfectly white, stainless wall for a long time, just sitting by
himself and wondered where his life would lead. He’d been always; night and
day, day and night. He’d never questioned or complained about it, because it
was his fault she was here in the
first place. In this unremarkable place where everywhere you turn, all you can
see is sickening white.
But
she doesn’t belong here. She belongs to the world outside. He should be with
her, they should be exploring the delights of the world together – the colorful
bright world that held so much promise for the two of them.
But
she isn’t. She’s here; confused, scared and all alone.
Just
because of his one, simple mistake.
No
one wished more than Travis did, that he could’ve done things differently If
only he hadn’t committed that one mistake that forever changed his life. And
destroyed hers. The love of his life. He’d been ridiculed with frustration,
anger, guilt and deep sadness. The accusing stares from everyone left him with
scars that he knew would never heal.
But
as time passed, the only the guilt and the sadness remained with him. Never
leaving, always there. He’d been left to battle his own demons since that
night, long ago.
Everyday,
every single day, he wished, he prayed and he hoped. But none of it was enough
even as he pledged that he would do everything and anything he could – even turn
back time – just to have his love back.
To
have Avery safe, whole and back to her own mind.
