Regretted Actions

just a short story. Enjoy.

Zach got down in one knee and pulled out the ring.

“Will you marry me?” he asked.

“Oh, yes. My god, yes! You have no idea how happy you made me.” Amanda exclaimed.

“Not as happy as you made me.”

Zach held Amanda tightly as he could. Amanda embraced him too. Amanda dreamt was her future was going to be like. She looked at her house and walked inside where she was greeted upon her two children. She held them in her arms looking at them as she couldn’t help but to smile. She woke up and looked at Zach. She got up walking to the kitchen getting water. She thought about her emotions how they were changing every minute from happiness to anxiety. She went back to sleep to get ready for the days ahead of her.

Days passed turning into weeks into months. Amanda never lost her thrill of getting married. The thought of even being engaged made her excited. Almost a year has passed. She was happily married as she walked back into her new home where she thought of all the joy that was coming her way. She walked in. Instantly she heard moaning. She rushed into her room, her mouth dropped. She felt pain in her heart, almost unbearable. She ran down the stairs, as her eyes filled with tears. She heard Zach calling in after her. She stopped, she wanted to confront this know.

“Why the hell is the f*****g w***e upstairs?”

“You don’t understand. Let me explain.”

“Go ahead. Tell me why you were with that woman.”

Zach mumbled gibberish. He couldn’t find anything to say.

“What? Did you think that I would say No, I don’t want to hear it and then leave? No, I want an explanation for this. How could you do this? Why would you cheat on me? Why! Why! Why! Why! Why!” Amanda began pounding on his chest until Zach stopped her.

“Honey, it was…”

“Don’t! Call me honey.”

“I guess I don’t have a reason for doing this. I just did it. I don’t know why.”

“You don’t know! How can you say that to me? God, we haven’t even been married for a month. I have done everything I can as a wife, and all you can say is I don’t know?”

“Yeah.”

Amanda clenched her fist. She marched into the kitchen. She grasped a knife and blank. Amanda couldn’t remember.

Amanda woke up from her dream. She thought the bed either getting softer or she was just getting used to it. She heard footsteps walking down the hallway.

“You have a visitor,” said the female guard.

Amanda walked down thinking about the dreamed she just had. How much she regretted her actions that day. How much she wished was out of the hell hole. Only if she could remember how she killed Zach.

Love the irate language so true to life as we all know Very nice

This was quite the shocker. Very well done. I can believe that what she went through she'd block the murder and why from her mind. Cheating is such a horrible betrayal, people need to understand that but don't seem to want to.
