Cagamosis
Send me a word and I will write a drabble with our characters:
Cagamosis - An unhappy marriage
this wasn’t how they were meant to be. they’d been the hopeful, the perfect high-school sweethearts. the kind that would be making googly eyes at one another for eternity. there was not one person in all of Ewan High who assumed that Tommy Ross and Sue Snell would ever be on any path other than marriage. after the prom, they’d CLUNG to one another. she was vulnerable, terrified of her own shadow when the dark engulfed her. he was being swallowed by the guilt of her pain, of the fact that he could not remember everything that she so clearly could about that night. she knew it would have been better for him to move on. he could move on so easily. he could leave her and the entire blood-stained town behind if he wanted to. he could escape from all of this –and she wanted that for him. she desperately wished to be able to get him out of it, to stop forcing him to watch her shriek and kick every time her eyes closed, but she couldn’t. how would she possibly be able to live with herself if she let go of her child’s father? it was something she could never do. though extremely selfish, she held onto him, to keep herself afloat, to have someone who could understand how she felt, someone to be a father to their unborn child. it wasn’t long until they did get married, right after their daughter was born. they’d moved into her house with her parents, raising the child as they both TRIED to finish their schooling. it was hard, terrible, many sleepless nights ran through the pair. by the time they were in their thirties, living on their own with their twelve year old daughter there was no light left in their eyes. they did both haveone another –but it wasn’t enough to pull them back from misery. neitherof them was ever able to LET GO of what happened at Ewan High School’sSenior Prom. her night terrors never stopped, worsening his ever-growingdepression, morphing them into two skeletons of the vibrant, hopeful couple they could have been. it’d started to spread them apart, her abandoning theirbed for the sofa in the middle of the night, not wanting to burden him again withanother sob, him refusing to open up to her anymore, in fear of making her feeleven WORSE. ❝ Tommy, I think we should go see someone…to talk about things. I know you think we’re fine but I can’t live like this anymore. ❞
❝ Maybe it’s time for us to move on. I don’t know if we’re right for each other anymore. ❞ her eyes are swollen, red puffs surround the openings. salty tears have soiled her sickly pale face, and it takes all of her not to collapse in front of him. her voice is tiny, her words almost sobbing mumbles now. she was a shell of a woman, and he was threatening to become all but a canvas of a man. it was selfish of her to keep things this way. it would be better. for him, for her perfect daughter. it had to be. if it wasn’t she really would deem herself as insane.
❝ Please, talk to me. ❞
no one expected Sue and Tommy Ross to be UNHAPPY.
