The Weight of Forgiveness

[~CORAL~]

“I don’t expect forgiveness overnight, moonbeam, I understand that. But I hope you’ll give us a chance to prove ourselves to you. We’ll do anything to regain your trust.”

I tousle in bed as my mind runs away with me again. The sun was already above the horizon, the curtain sways softly to the breeze and the cloud drifts lazily across the sky. The warm comfort of my room surrounds me as I stare out my window. The sky looked serene but my mind, however, was far from it. A heavy feeling clings over my chest.

I hug my pillow and let out a frustrated cry into it. Raegan’s words were a constant echo in my mind, invasively and eluding me of sleep. My mind and heart stirs with emotions that I thought I'd buried away. Their actions, their secrets and the apologies swirled together in a jumbled mess in my head.
