Life changes.

stranger

Ally came home around three this morning. She was knocking on the door and ringing the doorbell. After I let her in she started giggling, "Told youuu I could get homeee." She turned and started to basically crawl upstairs. I sigh as I hear the crying start as Ally trips and hits against the wall and her heel hit the stairs. She lays there giggling. "Oppps."  Shaking my head I walk over and scoop Ally up. I walk her up the stairs. She keeps hitting me, "I do it myself." I laugh and look at her, "Yeah sure whatever you say baby." I put her down on the floor by the bed and she goes to hit me but falls on the bed. "Fuck you."

Sighing I take her shoes off and she yells, "No touch." I throw her shoe on the ground, "Fine get to bed yourself then." I turn and walk into Aiden's room. I pick him up and softly rock him, "It's okay baby. It's okay." I start to sing softly as I rock him and he finally falls back asleep. I lay him in his crib and start to head to my room when I hear a bang. I sigh as I hear Aubrey crying. I walk in and sigh, "It's okay princess. It's okay. Go back to sleep." She looks up at me. "Loud." I nod and kiss her forehead. "I know princess just lay back down for daddy please." She nods and I lay her back down and close her door. Aiden is moving around again and whimpering because of the bang. I walk back into his room and pick him up and sing him back to sleep.  Finally he falls back to sleep and I lay him down in his crib and slowly walk out of his room and close his door.

I walk into the bedroom and see Ally lying on the floor with her pillow. "What are you doing?" She looks up at me then rolls over. "Fall but Bed time." I sigh and pick her up. "That is going to hurt tomorrow."  I pull the blankets back and lay her in bed. Then I pull the blanket up over her. I turn her on her side.  I place a pillow behind her back to try and keep her on her side throughout the night.  Shaking my head I turn the lights off and walk to my side of the bed and get in it. I look at the clock and see it took almost two hours to get the kids back to sleep and get Ally to bed. I sigh and close my eyes trying to get a few more hours of sleep before school.

My alarm goes off too early. I'm exhausted. I move my phone closer to Ally and she yells. "Stop." I throw the pillow on her. "Get up." She rolls over. "Taking a sick day." I grab another pillow and throw it on her. "The hell you are. Get your ass up now." Turning I walk into the bathroom and get a shower. I come out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my waist and see Ally still asleep. I walk over to dresser and grab a pair of boxers to put on. I put my boxers on and walk over to the bed and pick her up and take her to the shower. I lay her in the bottom of the shower before turning the water on. She screams and starts to kick. I turn the water off and she lays there dripping wet and extremely pissed. "Are you fucking kidding me?" I shrug and look at her, "I told you to get up." She stands up and throws her arms out slinging water everywhere. She looks down at herself and back at me fuming, "And I fucking told you I was taking a sick day." I shrug as I walk back into the bedroom calling over my shoulder, "And I told you that you weren't. Now get dressed."

Twenty minutes later Ally is dressed and looking more like herself. She walks into the bedroom and slips her feet into her heels. "I need a ride." I look at her on the bed. She looks up and sighs but I can tell is getting upset again." I left my car at school." I nod and grab my phone and keys from the bedside table. "Fine come on."  She follows behind me as we walk down the steps. I stop and check the time on my phone and realize I will have to eat later, dealing with Ally and the kids I have no time to eat today. I walk over to the living room where the kids are playing with Hanna. I walk over and kiss Aubrey. "Be good, I love you Princess." She hugs me and kisses my cheek, "Love you." I sit her back down with her Barbie before walking over to Aiden and kissing him. "I love you. Be good for Hanna." He smiles, "Dada." I smile and kiss him again, "You are so cute." I place him back down on the floor with his blocks before standing up and walking towards the door. I stand there and stare at the kids, "I will be back soon. I love you both. Call if you need me Hanna." She nods and waves bye to me. I turn to leave and watch as Ally only waves at the kids. "Bye. Love ya." I sigh and walk out of the house shaking my head. Ally is not Ally anymore.

I wait in the car as she gets in the car and starts to play with radio. I back out and start to drive towards the school. It takes a little longer than normal to get there because there is traffic today. I also seem to hit every red light on the way. I finally pull into the parking lot and find a parking spot not far from the door.

I park the car and Ally gets out and starts walking away before I even have the car turned off. I get out and she is already walking away. She calls over her shoulder to me, "Thanks." I grab my bag from the back and look after Ally as she disappears.  Locking my car I shake my head at my fiancée. She has completely changed. She is not the person I asked to marry me. She is not the girl I fell in love with. She is a stranger to me. A stranger that sleeps next to me. Shaking my head I walk towards my first class trying to forget everything going on and silently hoping things will get better but knowing deep down this is just the beginning.
