All Miranda could do was sit there and cry while she listened to them.  Why did she even kiss Thomas in the first place, this was all her fault.  To be honest she really didn’t feel the bruise growing on her cheek, it was not the first time she had been hit in the face.  Miranda pulled her knees up to her chest as she listened to Brettly yelling, “I kissed him first, I started it and he pushed me away.” Miranda knew he didn’t have to kiss her again but she was still taking the blame for everything.  “I was going to kill myself and he talked me out of it, he was showing me that people care about me.”<br/><br/>Miranda settled into Brettly’s arms when he pulled her close to him and she was crying into his shoulder.  “Brettly I am fine, I have had worse.”  Miranda was actually crying because they were fighting over her once again not because she was hurt.  She threw her arms around Brettly and buried herself in his shoulder again.  She saw Thomas get up off the ground and she hated that once again she came between them.  Maybe it would be best if she just left them both.  Looking at Thomas she mouthed to him, “I’m sorry.”<br/><br/>Miranda set there for a moment in the comfort of Brettly’s arms afraid to move, afraid to lose everything.  She knew she was at fault for everything and she felt like she was never going to get ahead of anything.  “I am so sorry, this is not fair to you.  I am sorry for everything.”  Miranda said as she cried, “I am sorry for not quitting my job, sorry that I risked my life and lost the baby I was carrying.”  Miranda was just lost in thoughts and memories.  “I am sorry for turning to Thomas because I was lonely, I am sorry for falling in love with Thomas.  I am just sorry.”  Miranda was just lost and needed to get everything out there.  “You just pushed me away from so long; I never thought you would fall in love with me.  But Thomas told me you have always loved me, you were just scared.  Thomas told me that we belong together and that I never truly would be happy with him anyway.  Besides he loves you like a brother, and never would want to hurt you.”<br/><br/>Miranda could not stop talking saying things she had never said before, all of her emotions were pouring out of her, “If you want a divorce I will understand, you don’t deserve me.”
