AdrenalineA Story by NorahA simple mistake can cost you someone else's life."To me, he was always a good person. I never would have
imagined he could be the murderer until I saw what was inside his medicine
cabinet."
It’s
been 4 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes, and 5 seconds since she took her last breath.
It's been 4 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes and 6 seconds since I last saw her smile.
It's been 4 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes and 6 seconds since my world lost all its
meaning. Slap. Just like that I was sucked out of my abyss
of thought. "What
did you do that for?" I shouted back. "Because
I've been talking to you for the past 10 minutes and you've been completely
ignoring me. I've had enough of your attitude. You think you're the only one
who lost her? Well, she was my daughter too." He shouted back. I
didn’t reply. I knew this isn't going to end well; our conversations haven't
ended well in a while. Sarah was the only thing keeping us together and now
with her gone I felt like I had no reason to fight. As if all the fire in me
has died. People
always say that you don’t know what you have till you lose it. Well, they are wrong.
I knew Sarah was one of a kind. I know that not in a million years will someone
bring me that amount of happiness she brought to me. She was my own miracle, but yet she was taken away from me in
the blink of an eye. I know he didn’t mean it. I know her death was nothing but
a careless mistake. I know he will carry the regret his whole life. No matter
how much I try to forgive him, I can't. Slap "STOP
IT." I screamed back furious. "I'll
stop it when you stop ignoring me." My husband replied. "Oh,
sorry. I didn't know I am supposed to listen to the murderer of my
daughter." "I
didn't kill her!" he says stepping closer. "Yes,
you did. You also wouldn't have told me, if I didn’t realize that there were
two Adrenalin missing from the medicine cabinet." I stepped back and
simply walked out of the door. I
knew that from this day onward I wouldn't have to live with the murderer of my
daughter. I also knew from this day onward I will never
see my husband, the love of my life, again. It
seems like all that I love has been taken away from me somehow. © 2014 NorahAuthor's Note
