the low hum of the radio and pitter patter of rain drops hitting the hood of his car were the only sounds to be heard . she's sitting beside him with her legs angled in the opposite direction , a tell-tale sign that she was angry with him . although , he can feel her glaring at him from the corner of her eye . she pobably thinks he doesn't notice , but he notices everything . " are you okay ? " voice mirrors that of an earthquake when he cuts through the silence . it was a stupid question , as she obviously wasn't fine . they'd both confessed their infidelities , tangled up in the sheets with other people . it was known for a while now , but neither of them dared to say it aloud , refusing to believe that this was . . . . over .
she can hear the thuds against the roof , it feels like the rains falling at the same pace that her hearts beating to . can't confirm whether she's listening to the rain or just the thud in her chest . feels like a ton of bricks were placed on her chest , suddenly feels like she's suffocating . lips are pursed , chests heaving as she refuses to look at him . wanting to cover every bit of herself from his gaze , everything they've ever done or been through flashing through her head as if she was in some sort of flashback . hard to believe that even after all that , this is where they ended up . him speaking up only reminded her of the sound of glass shattering , and veras choking back a cry ; taking her eyes off him and just on the road ahead of them . the car isn't moving , but she feels like it is . feels like she's racing down a road and straight off a cliff . her hand reaches up , grasping onto the handle with a gentle touch . too afraid of breaking anything else . " i should … go . "
