My face turns pale, my eyes open bigger, my throat is dry. I swallow very, very hard.

"I- I have no idea who you're talking about."

She laughs. "No, Aniya, don't play this fucking bullshit. I know you've been messing around, with your fucking student!? Are you fucking kidding me?"

"How did you..." I whisper.

I start to tear up, and my legs feel weak.

"No Grace, Please, let me explain-"

"Please. Enlighten me." She says as she sits down at one of the chairs in the kitchen, arms crossed.

I told her I would explain, but I didn't know what to say. Nothing came out of my mouth. Nothing. Tears just came down my face.

She laughs. "Are you kidding me? You're crying? Why the fuck are you crying? I should be! I have the right to cry, Aniya. You-" she stops for a moment to try and hold back the tears about to come out. "You cheated on me, Aniya. Not only that, but with an underage girl. Do you know how much trouble you could get in? And is that why you've been acting so damn weird around me?" She scoffed.

"G-grace, I..."

I wanted to speak so badly. But I couldn't. Nothing.

"Fucking save it. You're such a fucking joke, Aniya. You're a lying, cheating bitch. I'm done."

"Grace, please just- just wait. Please, I was lonely okay?"

She laughs again. "Lonely? Are you fucking joking? Aniya, I tried to be with you, every fucking day. But you wanted to decline every damn offer I gave you, to go be with your damn student! I tried, Aniya. I really did. You're a shitty wife, and a shitty person. I hope you know that. And you know what,"

I choke up my tears and pray she doesn't say what I think she's going to say.

"Grace plea-"

"I want a divorce."

"Wh- what? Are you serious?" I say as I'm trying to wipe my tears, but more tears stream down my face, as I'm slowly hyperventilating.

"Yes. I'm being so fucking serious. Get all your shit from my apartment. Fucking everything. I'm done. I'm gonna grab my shit, and get the hell out of here. I can't even stand to look at you right now." She then walks off to my room to grab the stuff she left behind.

I was speechless. I guess I could understand why she would want a divorce, but at the same time, I couldn't.

I then chase after her.

"Please, Grace... you- you don't have to do this. Please we can work this out. Grace listen to me!"

She doesn't say a word, as she's grabbing clothes, jewelry, shoes, all the stuff thats hers.

I'm trying not to cry so loudly, but I just couldn't. I just let it out, and tried to speak at the same time.

"P-please~ G-grace. Can we please just figure this o-out? Please! I don't want to lose you!"

She stops grabbing all her stuff, and turns to me. "Well it's too late. Because you already did."

I just blankly stare at her with no emotion. I finally stop crying, but I have no emotions whatsoever.

"I'll be back tomorrow to get the rest of my stuff. And I'll pick you up tomorrow so you can do the same. Then I'll get ahold of my lawyer. You should too."

She then makes her way to the door. "By the way, you did this to yourself, Aniya. I'll see you tomorrow."

I then hear my front door shut, and I still feel nothing. I just crawl into my bed, thinking of nothing but Grace, and how I fucked up my marriage.

That whole night, I didn't sleep. At all. And I didn't think I could go into work that morning, so I just called in sick. But that whole day, before Grace had to come over, I felt numb.

As I was just laying in my bed, I get phone call. I assumed it was Grace, and I was right.

"I'm outside. Come out." Then she hangs up.

I put on new clothes, and head out, trying not to cry again.

"Hey..." I say in a saddened tone.

"Just get in the car. I have no time for this."

I put on a fake smile. "Right. Of course."

I then get in the passenger seat and we drive to Graces house so I get my stuff.

I tighten my eyes, thinking weather or not if I should talk about it again with her. "Grace... I-"

"Please, Aniya? Please just... leave it alone. I already made my decision."

"Right..." I say trying to keep my tears from falling.
