A shock wave "It's not that I am dumb. In fact, I think that I've never been" this is what my friend told me the other day, and she continued " Maybe I didn't want to accept what I had been seeing for more than five months. So many hours without the urge to talk, too many errands to run, too much shallow talking, everything to avoid admitting to the truth. And this truth - she kept on talking- would have been difficult to accept but being suffering for so long, making me believe that all was in my mind, that it was me who could not manage the situation... No, definitely, that was going too far". I could not say anything. She was right. I had told her but she had refused to listen to me. "He's not for you. He only needed somebody and once he got that person back, all his needs are covered". I remember when he told her about the "rescue", I thought she would never recover after that but she forgot those terrible words of treason. She wanted to. But last 23rd April there was an earthquake in Spain. Nothing serious but we all could feel the ground moving under our feet. Scientists could not predict it was going to happen but my friend could. The epicenter was miles away from her, across the ocean, but she shook along with the ground when she heard him saying "I love her".

A shock wave

"It's not that I am dumb. In fact, I think that I've never been". This is what my friend told me the other day, and she continued " Maybe I didn't want to accept what I had been seeing for more than five months. So many hours without the urge to talk, too many errands to run, too much shallow talking, everything to avoid admitting to the truth. And this truth - she kept on talking- would have been difficult to accept but being suffering (<em>or</em> having suffered) for so long, making me believe that all was it was all in my mind, that it was me who could not manage the situation... No, definitely, that was going too far". I could not say anything. She was right. I had told her but she had refused to listen to me. "He's not for you. He only needed somebody and once since he got that person back, all his needs are covered". I remember when he told her about the "rescue", I thought she would never recover after that but she forgot those terrible words of treason betrayal. She wanted to. But last 23rd April there was an earthquake in Spain. Nothing serious but we all could all feel the ground moving under our feet. Scientists could not predict it was going to happen but my friend could. The epicenter was miles away from her, across the ocean, but she shook along with the ground when she heard him saying "I love her".

 

Good use of different tenses. Well done!

My corrections are in red and my suggestions to sound more natural are in blue/grey.


You can say either:

"since he got that person back, all his needs are covered" (present tense) or

"once since he got that person back, all his needs were covered" (past tense)
