To Egypt

Amelie

As I stood before the weathered front door of my family house, regret and embarrassment overwhelmed me. How am I supposed to look my mother in the face and tell her that she was right about Liam all along. I had forsaken her advice and had chosen to love a man who had nothing but ill intents towards me. Now that I have been hurt again, how on earth was I supposed to face her words of criticism? 

I always thought that Liam and I had something good going on, but now, as I replayed the scenes of betrayal, deceit, and heartache, I realized just how wrong I had been. Mother had been right, she had seen through the façade, and warned me not to invest my heart in someone so undeserving. But blinded by emotions and the dream I had for us, I failed to heed her words and now it has backfired.
