Crawling Back To Her Series Redemption and Refuse

Book6 Chapter3.

I couldn't help myself-I tried calling Ryan again.

I wanted to clear the air and figure out where we stood.

But this time, he didn't even bother to pick up.

I tried texting him, but there was no response.noveldrama

I sank to the ground, tears streaming down my face, my eyes burning with the strain.

I remember when I wasn't like this.

I was never one to cry easily, so why had I become so fragile?

Was it because I was getting older and longing for stability?

I decided to go to my best friend Sarah's place and tell her everything that had happened today.

We sat on the couch, watching the snow fall outside. She held me tightly without saying a word.

But it was this silent companionship that made me break down in tears again. She gently wiped them away. "Becca, you weren't like this before."

Sarah's words made me pause.

"The Becca Bennett I knew was decisive and never hesitated. If this relationship isn't making you happy, I hope you'll end it just as firmly as you would've before."

Her words stunned me.

I used to be that decisive person.

Back then, when Ryan decided to move to the South for a better opportunity and I chose to stay in the Northridge, many girls might have given up everything to follow him.

But I was young and headstrong, convinced that nothing could hold me back - not even love.

So we chose to divorce.

At that time, I was so confident and unwavering.

So why was I now so indecisive?

Maybe it's because as I've gotten older, my desire for a stable life and emotional security has grown stronger.

But even so, I shouldn't lose myself.

"Sarah, you're right. Maybe I've just been too invested."

I took a deep breath, trying to find the part of me that was once so fearless.

"Maybe it's time for a change, instead of constant compromise."

Sarah nodded, her eyes filled with encouragement and support.

"Becca, you're a strong and independent woman. Don't let anyone change who you are. If this relationship is causing you pain,

then be brave enough to let go."

I gave Sarah a grateful look as the answer slowly became clear to me.

It was time to reclaim the fearless woman I used to be.
