Julls POV
I am not okay honestly. I don't wish to see my dad sick, I refused to go see my dad yesterday under the pretense "I'm still mad at him" but the honest truth is I'm scared. I couldn't even sleep.
Today I've gathered enough courage to see him. I find my mother already there argg...
My dad looks okay but that hospital gown really is not a good look on him. It makes him look old, I mean older.
He quickly opens his arms for me and I run to him. I hug him tight and he does the same, he must have been really worried about me, I feel guilty for my selfishness.
"my gem, you.... are okay" he states
"daddy..... you're in a hospital gown" I make my own statement, he loughs and we pull apart
"now that I have seen you, I am ready to go home" he says holding my face and smiling
"you not a doctor daddy" I tell him
"he's discharging himself" my mother chips in.
"dad" I warn
"I am not spending another day here, seeing you okay, is all I need to get my blood pressure down" he defends and hugs me again.
There's a knock on the door and mother answers and soon Antonio graces us with his presence.
"good morning" he says standing weirdly by the door
"good morning Antonio, come and have a sit" my mother responds
"thank you, Veronica" he says taking a sit next to her
"how are you doing today Andrew?" he asks
"I am fine." my dad is not happy with him. Antonio nods understanding the situation.
"Antonio you do have your own parents" I try informing him that he's not welcome here gently.
"ohh.. Come on Julls, we are his parents as well now" mother says patting his hand. I say nothing not wanting to get to it with her.
"we actually want to talk to you too about your problems" mother continues to say. I look at Antonio and he looks really uncomfortable and kind of avoiding me maybe it's because he's still scared I'll divorce him still.
"hold it right there mother" I say silencing her with my hand
"whatever problems I have with Antonio, are mine and Antonio's, stop meddling" I say and grab my handbag
"daddy I will see you later" I kiss my dad on the cheek and try to leave
"so you not getting divorced then?" my father asks
"not yet" I respond without even turning to face them and left
Today I'm going back to my place and I will take things from there. I will not be going to Antonio's anymore and no one can change my mind or force me.
I want to try and find a new normal that I'm happy with, I miss my life before marriage. People are being honest when they say marriage changes people, I don't even recognize myself anymore.
When I get to my house the first thing I do is call Claire and she asked to come over or more like she bullied me to coming over my place.
I find it funny that in the midst of everything I have just dealt with, I am sober, I don't believe it. Especially being with Micah that's exactly my comfort.
I sit comfortably on the couch while I wait for Claire and decide to watch the news, my brother Leo is on the news. Volume.
"we thank God that my sister has been found unharmed, we also wish to thank everyone for all your help and prayers towards the safe return of our beloved Julls. Her husband and the family are currently tending to her, we would appreciate you giving her space to settle in. Thanks" Leo says and doesn't wait for anymore questions but leaves, classic Leo.
Kikik as for my being "found unharmed" Lord have mercy on my brother.
Claire finally arrived and we spent the rest of the day chatting. We had so much to talk about, since I was not very upfront with everything happening in my marriage, I still found the whole thing a nightmare but now it's very clear to me that this is happening.
At 7 pm Claire leaves and I take a shower and prepare to relax in bed, I missed my bed so much I might wake up in 2 days. But then suddenly the doorbell rings, why can't I rest in peace Lord.
I quickly rush downstairs and open the door to find Antonio there, as soon as I opened the door he welcomes himself inside. I was still under the shock, I didn't expect to see him here especially at this time.
"let's go home" he says and I lough whole heartedly, I didn't know Antonio is such a comedian.
"We can sort out everything when we get there" he says placing 1 hand in his cheek like he sees absolutely nothing wrong with what he just said and I continue to lough. I take a few minutes to compose myself and at that time Antonio was growing impatient.
"well Antonio I remember you vividly telling me how thats your house just before you almost chocked the life out of me" I remind him glaring daggers at him.
"that is 1 of the many things I will apologize for when we get home please" he says loosing his patience, in my honest opinion he is not sorry enough and it makes me want to hurt him.
"well I hate to break it to you but I'm not coming back" I inform him
"Julls we are married" he says the obvious
"I am aware" I say
"we definitely can't stay apart" he says
"ohh we definitely are sweetie, because I'm not coming back" I tell him, he goes to take a sit on the couch
"do you always have to be this difficult Julls?" he asks
"Antonio we tried staying together and it didn't work out, it's about time we call it. We can figure out how we will spin this to the press because I'm really not coming back to your house" I say
"our home" he says looking at me as I remain standing, "that is our home, you and I are married" he continues to say
"I am sure not the 1 who brings girls 'home' " I remind him quoting home
"Julls that will not happen again" he says genuinely but I don't care
"I'm still not coming back" I insist
"well if you don't come back I'll move in with you here" he says this as some sort of threat
"suit yourself" I say
