Lexi
God will only give you what you can handle, or so they say! If
that is the case, God, in all his infinite wisdom, must think I’m a complete
badass. That, or he has a piss poor sense of humor.
These are the thoughts in my head as I drive my two-year-old Chrysler
Pacifica toward home; not that home feels like that these days. Home is a
place I’ve started to avoid, more and more. The guilt of that eats away at me
but, turning to look at my husband, the man I’ve loved for over eleven
years, I feel that guilt bore deep into my soul and root itself there like a
thorn.
As he always is on these journeys, he’s looking out the window,
watching the world go by and ignoring me. I wonder what he’s thinking
that’s so important he can’t see the pain he’s causing me. There’d been a
time when I’d known his every thought, every dream, and he’d known
mine. Now we’re strangers who share the same space.
My mind drifts back to happier times, endless hours spent down by the
river as teenagers, sharing our hopes and dreams for the future. A future
with the world at our feet, one we’d conquer together. Instead, the world
has conquered us.
Dean snaps his head in my direction, his lips pursed. “Watch the damn
road, Lexi. The last thing I need is your lack of driving ability causing an
accident.”
I bite my lip as I fight the tears that threaten at his harsh words,
knowing he’s tired and in pain. “Sorry.” I just want to make him happy, and
I’m failing spectacularly.
I focus back on the road, my hands clenching the steering wheel until
they’re white. I hate this distance, the cruel way he makes me feel like I’m
to blame for everything wrong in his life. I cast sideways glances at him,
trying to find the man I fell in love with. His slightly too long wheat blond
hair blows across his forehead from the slight breeze of the open car
window. The sun catches on his bristle-covered chin, the reds and golds
making it look like fire dancing in the light.
That and bitterness are the only fires that seem to burn in him these
days. Weariness sweeps through me, almost crushing me with its weight. I
suck in a deep breath of the warm fall air to ease the deep exhaustion and
tension I feel from the roots of my hair to the tips of my toes. Every part of
me is bone tired, but not just my body, my heart too. I feel fragile in a way I
never have before, like one wrong move and my heart will crack down the
middle.
