Breaking Point

part 3

Hey its been a minute I kinda gave up on with story but I'm back gonna continue it also i made my bed for the first time in like 2 months so its an accomplishment. --------------------- --------------------------------------------

My parents argued and fought often I mean to a normal extant. But I could never imagine the stress of having who to live with, what holiday would I be where, when would I get to see my other parent.

Sure it was easy enough to put myself in his shoes and imagine the pain. But I've known Jacob for years and his parents always seemed happy. Almost a model couple, but I guess everyone has issues.'I'm really sorry for you' I sent ot him.

'Can we talk on the phone?'

'Sure,' I replied and pressed to call button.

"Hey," Jacob said. I could hear the sadness in his voice.

"Hi, I'm sure it's a lot you're going through but are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's jus- they always said they would never get a divorce and they didn't give any reason besides they weren't happy anymore." He was crying I could tell.

"God that's awful."

"But I went into their room yesterday to get some medicine for my headache. On Mom's night stand and there I found a long blonde hair on the bed."

"Is it possible that one of them is cheating?" I hesitated to say.

"Oh I know someone's cheating."

"Really?"

"Yeah My dad constantly hides his phone from me and Mom. I also uh found something."

"Jacob, what did you find?"

"A um... Bra that no way in hell could have been Mom's."

"That's horrible."

"I mean I guess it's alright."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Em, please I'm fine." I realized he's never called me Em before. Actually he rarely even says my name.

"Okay if you say so..."

"Alright I gotta go see you tomorrow."

"Bye Jacob."

I continued walking home for a few more minutes then I unlocked my door and stepped inside. I walked inside to find my very drunk dad. Standing there smiling. I could smell it in his breath. In that moment I was horrified wondering what he was going to do.
