The pretend

Chapter 20

Everett.

"W-what" he stuttered eyes wide in shock. Guess he didn't expect me to do this but I'm damn tired of this all. I can deal with his shit but I'm not gonna deal with his parent's shit either.  I am so fucken tired.

"You heard me, I want a divorce Jared," I say determined, my heart breaking into thousand pieces not believing that I'm saying the words I vowed to never say to him till the day I draw my last breath but here I am saying them and it's killing me, tho I think it's the right decision. The more I stay here the more I'm losing my mind. I can't breathe with Norah here all the damn time, deciding what we should do or not.

It's ok to bring opinions to the table but deciding the whole damn thing like she's the one carrying the baby not me. This was supposed to be our chance, to plan everything together with my husband but no, his mother had to ruin it for me, and what hurts the most is that Jared just stands there like a dummy not doing anything about it.

For fucks sake she was the one who decorated the baby's room and threw out the crib I had bought because she didn't like it yet to me it was the cutest thing I have ever seen but no, she threw it in the dustbin like it was nothing. She was the one who bought everything and even the one thing I thought I had control over, she's taking it away from me.

I was excited to name my child but no, she already picked the name too like it was hers. I walked to the closet and pulled out a short and a long-sleeved shirt throwing them on my body, Jared was still standing there with his mouth a gap but I didn't care. I'm done with this, enough is enough.

I am not dealing with this any longer.

I pulled out my suitcase throwing in my shit not bothering to fold them, all I wanted was to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Everett, you can't do this" throwing my shit in my suitcase seemed to get him out of his slumber. He thought I was bluffing but he doesn't know how I have made my mind up, I am so fucken tired. "Ev let's sit and talk about this calmly like we always do please, don't do this out of anger" he begged slinging his arms around my shoulders stopping me from packing.

"What do you exactly want to talk about huh," I ask pulling myself from his grip. He was stronger than me because of the pregnancy coz I couldn't budge at all.

"I-we can solve this like always baby please" he mumbled pulling me to him again.

"Let go, Jared, I think I have been talking for five fucken years but nothing has ever changed," I grit out

"She's just excited to be having a grandchild, that's all but it will be over soon I promise. I will talk to her" I scoffed at that, until now he doesn't see it.

"Are you blind" I barked at him "your parents had already taken everything from me and if she comes-" I put a hand on my belly feeling my child who was sleeping peacefully "they will make sure to take her away from me and to hell I'm not allowing that. She's mine, I decided to take that pill, if not, I wouldn't be pregnant right now so I think. I have the right"

"And no one is taking that right away from you" he yelled too "my parents can't do that ok, they can't take her away. They are not cruel like you think they are" he defended.

"Oh! are you sure" I gritted my teeth, wiping sweat out of my face, since I became pregnant I sweat a lot. "She came here and took over the house, she decides when we eat, what we eat, who cleans the house and who doesn't, she decides what movie we should watch and so.much.more. It's like I married you and your family, but do you know the ugly truth love, I didn't sign up for this" I say zipping my case.

"You did when you married me. You knew I will never hurt my parents as you did yours without a second thought. I'm not like you who never valued them. The ugly truth, I value mine to hurt them and now you're jealous just because I still have mine" he breathed out making me to halt in my packing as I looked at him not believing that he had just said those words. "Ev...I didn't m..." I put my hands up stopping him from saying anything else.
