#WritcoStoryPrompt - The messages added salt to wounds.
#WritcoStoryPrompt
Write a short story using at least three from the five prompts given:

The messages added salt to wounds.

The message read "Am sorry about this", it was a response to my sent message that said, "My life is cloudy without you"

To be sincere I expected to read more than just "Am sorry about this" but then that's what I got.

I sat on my bed for a while holding my phone and wondering what he was thinking at that particular time on the other side of the world.

It was going to a second day without hearing a word from him, and I just sent him million messages to his phone.

For a minute I started to imagine maybe he was with someone out there, well, long distance relationship can drive you nuts!

But again I stopped myself and asked me, is he not the very man that makes my life meaningful? How did I move from me thinking of him being the best to me thinking of him cheating on me?

Was I being fair to him? To our love and to myself?

What's the prove?

Well, I had none to be real.

But again, why was he not online when I wanted him to?

Hahaa I know right!!! I sound weired... I laughed at myself.

The second day was almost ending, and still he was not online, you can imagine the tension, anger and questions.

Immediately I saw him online, and before I could send him angry emojis, he called...

"Baby, I am so sorry for all I've put you through, none was intentional, I forgot my charger somewhere and with this lock down, it was really hard for me to reach out, am so sorry. The message I sent you was my apology before the phone went off am so sorry"

Well, can you guess what my response was? I'll help you with that.

After a long pause and deep breath, I just found myself saying... "Its okay love, I love you"

Yah, I know the message added salt to wounds but again, immediately I heard his voice on the other side, I knew this was my time to heal the wounds.

And I was right, his voice was the medicine I so much needed, and by the way, he calls himself "My Doctor"

And I agree!
