It is doomsday and Sapphire knew that, she was dreaming and she really want to wake up so bad but it is like a force is keeping her down and letting her go though the torture all over again.
A scene flashed in front of her, it subsided and she saw her ex-fiance, Oliver Gray and herself.
“Yeah, it doesn't matter if we have been together for nine years, the point is that we are breaking up now, I have Heather with me, this is the wedding invitation card, she would really love it if you were there, after all you are her best friend, and we are getting rid of those bastards inside of you, whether you like it or not because Heather requested it,” He said and the feeling of betrayal she felt that time came all over again in ten folds.
He said the words, different days at different times but her brain always found a way to patch it up and summarize it into a sentence, but one thing was constant when he said all those words, it was that she had a wedding dress on and a broken leg from wearing heels.
She wanted to tap herself and tell her to stand up and stop being such an idiot, she wanted to reach into the scene and punch the jerk squarely in the face, she wanted to shut his mouth up.
Another scene flashed and she was standing with her family. She also looked pathetic at that time, couldn't she have braced up and told them off.
“You are a disgrace to the family, we are sorry for the trouble Sapphire caused.
We already took measures and she is in rehabilitation now.
I disown you, you are no longer my daughter.
What? Do you want to stain Melissa's reputation by having her come over to visit you in prison?
Do as you are told and tell them that you did it.
Who knew that my niece is a bad girl, why don't you get a tattoo in order to complete the look.”
Those were from different people she used to call family, a bunch of people who would do anything for their own selfish gain, the humiliation and sadness weighed her down but she willed herself to break free from the torment.
She was finally able to open her eyes as gasps fell from her lips, her face was wet with perspiration and her heart was heavy like a lid.
She sat up and cleaned the angry tears that had made their way to the corner of her eyes. She looked around her room before she stood up and walked to the room next door.
She stared at her kids for a long time before she moved to them. It must be because of her family's phone call that brought these memories back, the ones she wanted to forget so badly.

Sapphire arrived at the airport and stared around, she exhaled and held on tight to her cross bag, since she left there are many things she missed about New York but the things she didn't miss about the place are more than things she missed.
She walked towards the exit, mixing herself with the big crowd. She loves getting lost among people.
