Story 6

Authors note-If I were you, I'd try not to read ahead cuz there's a plot twist at the end...

Seriously. Don't read ahead.

"Just leave me alone!"

"You leave me alone!"

I sighed. I was having a bad day already and the last thing I needed was for my kids to fight, again.

I walked upstairs to my daughter, Claire's room and knocked on her door that she had slammed just moments before.

"Cee?"

I heard her sigh and walk to her door. She opened it.

"Yeah, Dad?"

"I'm going to go see your mom, so I need you to watch Jonah. And try not to fight, please."

She nodded. "'Kay. See you later."

I went back downstairs and grabbed my keys and headed out.

I liked to visit my ex-wife a lot. She's a good listener and she always lets me speak my mind and she never interrupts me.

I still miss her in the house with me though.

I still have my wedding ring on.

I can't bare to take it off. 

This all feels so new to me, even though it's been four months already. 

It's weird, not having her by my side anymore.

I'm happy that we're as close as we are right now. 

After the d-

Gosh, I can't even say the word.

After everything happened, we're still best friends and I am so glad 'cause I don't know what I'd do without her.

She's the best. 

After this stuff happens, most couples don't even visit each other anymore.

I pulled up to my destination and walked the bike trail until I got to the cemetery.

I immediately spotted her headstone and went over and sat on the freshly mowed lawn.

"Hey Tara. I love you. I missed you today."

I feel like you read ahead. Screw ya'll.

love you guys
