what to do

12 weeks pregnant

"there. everything is packed up."

i said to luna as i looked at the suitcase and bags i packed for luna and i. today the guys come home and i just want to get out of here as soon as luke picks up sierra. i don't even wanna see michael. asher and dustin are letting luna and i stay at their house until i can find a more permanent solution for us.

i think that if i see michael, i'll probably be a sobbing mess. i still love him. i'll always love him. but how am i suppose to ever trust him after he does this to me over and over again? he'll always pick crystal over luna and i. it's so apparent.

"let's get you something to eat. it's going to be a long day."

i said as i carried luna out of her room and into the kitchen. i put luna in her high chair and began to feed her when sierra walked into the kitchen.

"luke just called. they should be home in an hour or two."

"fun."

i said with a roll of my eyes.

"are you going to talk to michael when he gets home?"

sierra asked as she sat down at the island.

"nope. i've already got luna and i's stuff packed up to go stay with my brothers. it's just not worth it to fight with him. especially in front of luna."

i said as i placed another spoonful of yogurt into luna's mouth.

"i just think you two need to sit down and hash things out before you make any drastic choices."

sierra said as i shrugged. what no one knew was that i started getting texts from my parents and samantha once the news broke of michael cheating on me and our divorce. which i still haven't filed for yet. my parents are still wanting me to come home with luna, which is looking better and better each passing day. samantha is just playing the "told you so" game.

"i don't know. i just need to cool off."

i sighed. i stood up and pulled luna out of her high chair as i heard sierra gasp.

"what's wrong?"

i asked her.

"look! you have a little bump!"

sierra said as she pointed to my stomach. i looked down to see my stomach slightly protruding out of my black cami. i should be other the moon about this. but all i can think about is how michael would be so over the moon to see this. and i don't even want to think about him.

"yeah."

i said with a slight smile. i cleaned up luna's high chair and carried her into the nursery. i was finishing up getting her dressed and packing up the last few things i had left for her when i heard a car pull up outside. i heard the front door open and shut as i zipped up my suitcase.

"alex..."

i heard michael said from the doorway of the nursery.

"save your breath. we'll be out of your life and you can move crystal in."

i said as i swung luna's bag over my shoulder.

"alex please don't leave. i love you so much."

michael said. i grabbed the handle of my suitcase and finally took a look at him. a look at the man who no longer looked like the one i married. his eyes are red and full of tears. he looks like he hasn't slept in days. but i can't focus on that. i've gotta focus on myself and luna.

"dada!"

luna cheered as i pushed past michael. i walked out the door and into my car. i quickly put our bags in the car and fastened luna into her car seat. i could hear michael and luke calling after me as i got in the driver's seat. but i ignored them as i pulled out of the garage and drove down the road.

"i can't believe she's out already."

asher said as he rocked a sleeping luna.

"you guys must've tired her out. you did chase her around for the last few hours."

i said as i smiled at the sight. i never thought i'd see the day where my brother is holding my daughter. it's better than i could've imagine. i heard my phone go off and i grabbed it to see a new message light up my screen.

unknown number:
hey mrs. clifford. i knew you were gullible, but i didn't think you were gullible enough to ruin your marriage. you're really divorcing your husband over a kiss that was set up by veronica and i. how sad. i guess i'll just have to comfort him. see you soon. - crystal

i sighed as i put my phone down. of course michael and bee were right. i should've fucking believed them. and now i look like the biggest fucking idiot in the world. how the hell do i stop crystal before she gets to michael?
