Everyone made their way back to the resort. Andrea and Tracy walked over to the girls bedroom and knocked on the door.

"GO AWAY." Taylor shouted from the other side.

Andrea slowly pushed the door open. "Taylor, Tracy and I wanted to talk to the two of you."

"Well, Karlie's not here and I don't feel like talking." She replied.

The two women walked in anyway.

"What do you mean, Karlie's not here? Tracy asked. "Where did she go?"

"She packed up her stuff and said she's getting a room somewhere else."

Tracy pulled out her phone and tried calling her daughter but she didn't answer. She then sent a text.

Karlie, you need to come back here and talk this out. What got into you?

Karlie read the text and just started to laugh as she responded.

I'm not going back there. I'm tired of all of the back and forth for no fucking reason. She asked me to leave earlier, so I left.

Tracy texted Karlie back and said...

Will you please answer your phone and talk to me? You know how much I hate texting.

Tracy tried calling her daughter as she stepped out of the bedroom. To her surprise, Karlie answered.

"Mom. I'm not going back there."

"What is going on with you? You can't run away and give up."

"What's going on with ME? Nothing is going on with me. And who said anything about running away and giving up? I LOVE Taylor and I'm not running away or giving up on her or our marriage. She just pushes and pushes and pushes and I had enough. This all started when she thought Healani was flirting with me. Then Taylor caught me looking at Healani when she left. Mom, I'm human, sue me. Yes, I admit, I was looking at her. Because she's beautiful but that doesn't mean I'm going to sleep with her. From there, it just escalated with Taylor. She's insecure about her weight right now, I get it. But Jesus Christ, I tell her everyday that she's beautiful and that I love her and that I only want her. But then she gets so fucking nasty at times. I'm always apologizing and sometimes, I'm not even sure what I'm apologizing for, but I do it anyway because I love her and I want to make her happy and I don't want to fight. Don't you think that I know that me getting another room was a real dick move? But I'm so tired of being indirectly accused of doing something or wanting to do something when that's not the case."

"So, is that why you kept making Healani references at dinner? To make your wife even more jealous?" Tracy asked.

"Yep. I'm at that point where I'm just gonna let her think and believe whatever the hell she wants. Because she's going to anyway. I don't know what else to do anymore. In times like this, I feel that nothing is ever good enough. No matter how hard I try. And what KILLS me right now is the fact that I told her, I promised her that I would never leave her. And here I am, in a neighboring hotel. And the kicker to it all is that, THIS is what Taylor will focus on. She won't reflect on any of the stuff that she said or started. She'll only remember that I left. How fucked up is that?"

"Marriage sucks sometimes, doesn't it?" Tracy said. "Imagine if you weren't a millionaire and couldn't afford to get another room at a luxury hotel. Imagine if you actually had to be stuck in the same house. Maybe sleep on the couch, but still be under the same roof. How crazy would THAT be? I'm sure you've heard me, Andrea and maybe even some of your friends say, 'Don't go to sleep angry.' Well guess what? That's not always the case. It should be, but it's not realistic. I'm not saying come back here and fix it all tonight. I'm saying come back here and let your wife know your presence is under the same roof. Don't put unwarranted thoughts in her head for no reason. It's not fair. She probably is thinking that you're with Healani right now because that's what you want her to think and don't tell me you don't because I birthed you and know you better than you know yourself. So, I'll be in my bedroom, waiting for you. And I'm going right now, to tell your wife that you'll be coming back but will be staying with me tonight. So, don't make me into a liar. I'll be expecting you within thirty minutes. I love you Karlie and I'll see you soon."
