Tom's POV
She said something that terrified me in the car I had to know what she meant "What did you mean when you said the first cut is the deepest?" I asked her in a whisper, eagerly waiting for her reply.
" I can't love you the way you deserve to be loved, I am broken, you have tried your best to make us work, we should not fight it, I think we should end our misery let me go Tom you deserve to be happy".
Her words broke something inside me, I felt like she sentenced me to a death penalty, how do I tell her that she revives my soul, that she is the one for me, I do not want to lose her, even when she thinks that she is trouble.
" Mercy look at me" I begged her to look at me, I know that men should be strong and not cry but what do I do when the only person who brings life and light to my life thinks that she is not good enough.
She tried to look into my eyes but averted her gaze I bet she saw my tears, "look at me please" I repeated

Mercy's povPacing back and forth in the living room, my anxiety disorder starting to kick in, I haven't had many attacks lately, for once I felt like a normal person with Tom and Grace by my side what I saw today made me feel like the fool I have always been, they have been having an affair right under my nose.Apart of me wants to believe that there's a valid reason why the lipstick stains were on Tom's chest but another part of me thinks that the answer to that is obvious.Tom did not bother to explain to me why was Grace's lipstick on his chest and why was he leaning so close to her, rather he freshened up and went to bed while my mind was going to burst at any moment from overthinking.I mean shouldn't he try and clarify this to me, or defend himself like other men do when they are caught cheating instead of playing it cool."Tom!"
