Kerri bit her bottom lip fighting back the tears. "You’re the one who chose to leave. What do you want from me?"
"I don’t want to lose you, Ker. I want and need you in my life."
"I can’t just be your friend, Rachel. We’ve shared too much. I want all of you or nothing."
"Kerri, please listen to me for a minute. Don’t you know what you mean to me?"
A tear slipped from Kerri’s eye. "Obviously I don’t mean enough. Please have a good life, Rachel. I wish you only happiness and I hope you find what you’re looking for. There’s nothing more to say." As she removed the phone from her ear, she heard Rachel’s voice pleading with her, but she knew there was nothing more to be said. She hung up the phone. Her tortured heart couldn’t take any more battering. All emotion drained from her leaving her cold and numb as though someone had just died. There was nothing left inside, but a deep dark hole where her heart had once been.
