Chapter 40

Tre: It felt like lightning had struck when Sara told me she was breaking up.I've been so busy fighting for Billie in the last few years that I didn't care about her feelings.Just by now I did understand what this woman has done for me in the last years.And I never appreciate it... After Sara left the house, I was like a robot.My hands and feet moved.I went from the bedroom to the bathroom and over to the living room, ran through the house and packed all my things.I was paralyzed inside.My thoughts couldn't pull themselves together.When I was done, I turned around for the last time.So here I am, suddenly with my suitcases packed, and I didn't know where to go. All these years I thought Billie was my home.But no, that was wrong.It was Sara.She was my safe harbor.She was the one person I could always count on, who never let me down.Even when I made her cry, she always took care of me.Even when she was angry or jealous, she made me something to eat, looked after the house and was always understanding.And what did I do? I trampled on her love and ran after a man who doesn't feel the same as me...

Lost in thought, I got into my car.Before I left, I left Sara a handwritten letter on the door.I did know that whatever I wrote, it won't change anything.Without having an exact destination in mind, I started the engine and drove off.After a while, I realized that I had no one... my best friends were all with Adie.My family lived further away.Sara was the only family I had here.Just when I was thinking about taking a room in a hotel, somebody crossed my mind.A few minutes later I was there and stood in front of his door with my suitcases packed and rang the bell.Jason: It was a quiet, pleasant evening.My wife Janna and I sat together by the fireplace and were drinking a glass of red wine when the doorbell rang. "Are you expecting someone?" She asked amazed.I shrugged my shoulders questioningly and went to the door and opened it.Tre stood in front of me with his suitcases packed.His gaze was lowered, his eyes wide open as if he were standing in some kind of a shock... "Tre?" I asked worried. "Is everything all right, buddy? Come in first, I'll help you with the suitcase..."
