!TW! Suicidal thoughts/actions

Kathryn's POV

Three knocks pulled my attention from my tv. I paused my movie and got up. I opened the door to reveal a blonde lady. 

"Hi, can I help you?" I greeted

"Is this Claude's apartment?"

"Uh, yes,  who's asking?" I asked.

"I think it would be best to introduce myself with Claude present."

"Um, ok, come in," I motioned her inside. "I will go get him."

You went into your bathroom and told Claude. He told you he would be there in a few minutes. You retreated back to the living room. 

After ten minutes, Claude came out looking for you but stopped when he saw the lady. 

"What did I tell you? Don't come here when my wife is here."

You were in the doorway with two cups of tea. "Ok, what's going on here?"

"I'm Ashley. I met Claude at a bar after one of his games. We went to my place and had sex (smooshin' booties iykyk) . He offered his number and I gave him mine. He texted me multiple times asking to meet up so I went. The affair lasted for about six months." 

Your heart shattered as her words were spoken. You looked at Claude he had the guiltiest face on. You knew it was true by his face. 

"I came here to tell you I am pregnant."

"What?" you and Claude said at the same time. 

You stood up and walked out of the room. (italics = thoughts)

I couldn't have kids so he went and got another girl pregnant? Was I not good enough? He hated me because I couldn't give him a kid. Why should I be here if I can't bear children(not saying you have to bear children)? Everyone in my life seems to hate me. What is wrong with me? Why does no one like me? Am I just a parasite to them?

I grabbed my keys and phone before walking out the front door. My car was silent as I drove. I stopped my car by a park nearby. I looked up at the highway overpasses. I started walking on the highest one. Looking out over the city I have grown to love, I took a deep breath and pulled out my phone. I texted Claude, "Sorry, I couldn't give you what you want but now you have it with her. Now, you won't have to worry about me, no one will. I love you. Love, Kathyrn." I pressed send and climbed onto the barrier. I took a deep breath and lean forward when a strong arm wrapped around my waist.
