"What are you doing here?"
I couldn't break our eye contact or peel my eyes away from him.
My phone slipped from my hands and smacked the cold, hardwood floor.
"Your mom told me about your pregnancy and I wanted to see you."
"See me?" I shook my head. "It-it's been years..." my voice trailed off in disbelief. "What?"
"Audrey," he began, searching for words through my hesitation. "I just wanted to see you."
The urge to shut the door was strong. All I wanted to do was walk away.
"Joe, I don't know what to tell you," I scoffed. I didn't know what to say.
"Aud?" Kimmy chimed from my phone. "What's going on?"
I looked down at my phone laying on the ground. "Call you later," I picked it up, hung up and shoved it into the back pocket of my jeans.
This is nonsense.
"Audrey," he pled, "please listen to me."
"Listen to what? The last six years of my life that you missed without hesitation?"
"It's not like that." He shook his head. "When you're a parent, you'll see."
"I am a parent. My babies aren't born yet, but I know in my heart that I could never leave them the way you left me. I love my son and my daughter." I was stern. And the words felt cold as they poured from my lips.
"Babies?" He furrowed his brows.
Of course, he didn't even know.
I shook my head and began to shake from the anger and adrenaline rushing through my veins. A tear escaped and ran down my cheek before I could wipe it away.
"What's going on?" Dad asked behind me as I heard his footsteps approach the front door where we were standing. "Joe?"
"I have nothing to say to you."
I turned on my heel, forcing my way up the stairs and to my bedroom. I laid on my bed and let the tears flow. I sat in my room and cried for as long as I can remember.
I will never understand him because I will never be like him.
