The Affair

Come Back.

Brad is at Renee's house. He came after dinner, but he didn't tell his wife where he was going. Even though, he was having a good time with Renee, he felt unhappy. He received a call from Katherine that made him rush home to see Natasha laying on the bathroom floor with three bottles of pills in her hand. Katherine is beside her shaking her.

"NATASHA. Why would you do this? Natasha please, wake up." Katherine says through tears. Natasha would never wake up again.

"No. Natasha. Wake up. NATASHA." Brad says kneeling down towards Natasha and trying to do CPR. "This is all my fault. If I never...."

"This is your godda*n fault. I'm going to call an ambulance. Try to do CPR, even though I've been trying for 10 minutes." Katherine says and goes and calls for an ambulance.

About 10 minutes later, the ambulance comes and tells the family that Natasha is dead and they can't revive her. Katherine breaks down crying while Brad feels guilty. If he never cheated, this would have never happened.

"I'm going to go to bed." Katherine says through tears. She goes to Natasha's and Natalie's room, well now Natalie's room. "Natalie, wake up. I want you to sleep in my room tonight."

"Ok mommy. Where's Natasha? Can she sleep with us too?" Natalie ask and it hurts Katherine so much.

"Just come on." Katherine says and walks to her room and Natalie follows.

Katherine wakes up to Natalie shaking her, ever so gently.

"Mommy? Daddy is talking to the lady he was kissing." Natalie whispers.

"Is she here?"

"Yes."

"Ok. Stay up here. I'm going to go down there. Watch cartoons or something."

"Yes m'am."

Katherine gets up and throws her hair in a messy ponytail. Puts some concealer on to hide her bags under her eyes from the little sleep she got last night. Finally, she brushes her teeth and puts her robe over her pajama shorts and tank top. She walks downstairs to see Renee and Brad sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee. He had the nerve to bring Renee to the house, is all Katherine thought about. Katherine goes to the Keurig and puts on a cup of hot tea, she wasn't much of a fan of black coffee. She preferred more hot drinks like lattes and tea.

"Good Morning Katherine." Brad says as Katherine pops two bagels into the toaster for her and Natalie.

"Good Morning Brad and Renee." Katherine says putting a little bit of attitude on Renee.

"Morning. So Brad why did you leave in such a rush last night? If you ask me, you ran out as if someone died." Renee said knowing that Natasha was dead.

"You little b***h. How dare you say that? You know my daughter died last night. I can't believe you. You're the reason she's dead. I will kill you if you ever talk about my girls again." Katherine says.

"Wow, sounds like someone's moody."

"GET THE F**K OUT MY HOUSE!!" Katherine yells.

"Renee, maybe you should leave." Brad says and escorts her to the door. Katherine doesn't even talk to Brad, she just heads back upstairs with her tea and bagels.

"Here you go sweetie."

"Natasha's dead?" Natalie ask. She must have heard Katherine.

"Yes sweetie. God just wanted her to come to heaven early. He decided he wanted a new angel to love."

"I'm going to miss her."

"I know sweetie, but we have each other, and Natasha will always be in our heart."
