"That's it Catherine. We're done !" He shouted. And with that my heart broke. Our marriage of 4 years was over.
"Sam, no !" I cried as he slammed the front door.
I sank to the floor and cried. We were supposed to have a family and be together forever. Now he's leaving me for someone else ? Eventually, I fell asleep right there on the floor.
There was a knock on the door and I woke up from what felt like a 20 minute nap. "Ugh he's back." I thought, "what does he want now". I got myself up, wiped my eyes , and looked out the window. It was dark out, which means that my nap was a lot longer than 20 minutes. And It wasn't Sam outside.
"Claire ?" I exclaimed as I opened the door.
"Oh my god , what's wrong ? You look Terrible !" She said, walking in the door.
"Sam left me." I cried, "he's been cheating on me for 6 months. He's in love with her."
"What ?? Oh my god come sit down." She put her arm around my shoulder and walked with me to the couch. "When did this happen ?"
"Just a few hours ago. I can't believe it."
"I can't believe it either. I'm so sorry." She consoled. "Do you want me to stay here tonight ?"
"Yeah that would be nice." I sniffled out.
"What are best friends for. Okay ! Tonight we're gonna watch movies and I'll order pizza and tomorrow I am taking you out !! You need to get your mind off this."
"Going out ? I don't know.."
"Trust me !! There's this strip club me and Evelyn have been going to. It'll make you feel better! "
"We'll see..." I grabbed the tv remote and started our movie marathon. We ate popcorn while we watched movie after movie until we fell asleep on the couch.
