Chapter 1 The message that shattered me.

I remember the moment I saw the message. It blinked on my screen, ordinary in shape but heavy with meaning:

"What exactly do you want me to think?? I have literally apologized for more than 2 months now since the event happened... what exactly do u want me to think, fine, I cheated on you once and it wasn't even intentional and I have been apologizing, if truly u value what we shared, what is one time mistake I make that you can forgive and continue the relationship... it's not like I made the mistake over and over and over.... like I said, we are all responsible for our thoughts and thinking."

I stared. And stared some more. The words rushed over me like a flood, drowning every certainty I had about us. I had heard apologies before. For weeks, he had repeated the same lines like a broken record-"I'm sorry," "It won't happen again," "It wasn't intentional." But this message wasn't an apology. It was a demand for forgiveness wrapped in frustration and excuses. One time mistake? Was it really just one? Or was it the one that shattered everything, the one that made me question myself, my worth, and the love I thought we had? I felt myself unraveling. How do you move forward when the person who hurt you keeps asking, "What do you want me to think?" as if your feelings are a puzzle they don't want to solve, but want you to fix? For the first time, I realized this wasn't about understanding me. It was about easing his guilt. And that's when it hit me: I deserved more than apologies disguised as demands. I deserved honesty. Respect. Peace. But most of all, I deserved to be heard. That message didn't just break my heart-it woke me up. I wasn't just the girl who was hurt. I was the girl who would heal.
