TMWWU :: 1

There's a pain laced deep inside of me.

It starts off as a simmering ache in my chest, feeling like a heavy weight that's constant. It stops my lungs from getting the air they need.

The pain transforms from quiet to ringing, reaching a point where all I feel is a throbbing in my heart. A hotness evades me as my blood rushes. Warm tears streak down my face.

It's the pain I feel as I watch my best friend and husband being lowered six feet beneath the ground.

This isn't how it's supposed to be.

I have learned in my teenage years that life isn't a fairy-tale. However, he was my fairy-tale and happy-ever-after.

Now he's gone.

There's a world swarming around me. I feel hands and prayers and condolences touching me.

I'm numb.

For a flicker of a moment, I am numb.

These people around me, I hate. They make me remember. Their sad eyes and watery smiles are the scissors severing the last thread that's keeping me hanging onto my sanity.

It's broken.

Because now I'm crying too. I feel myself falling. But he isn't here to catch me. Not this time.

Jayden, you promised you'd always catch me. You did catch me. You saved me. So why couldn't I save you?

My brother Hunter is next to me, his strong arms bracketing my body. He's catching me as best as he can. Through my blurry vision, I see his anguished face as he shushes me. "Heidi. Breathe. It's going to be okay."

Jayden used to tell me that, too.

So why did he forget to breathe when I asked him to? I was on my hands and knees, begging for his life, yelling at him to breathe as the paramedics tried to revive his fragile heart.

Why didn't he breathe for me, when all I've ever done is do the same for him?

I can't breathe.
