You Belong To Me- Part 2 (KAYLOR)

360.

A month has passed since Karlie's confession and nothing was any easier. By now their closest friends and family were aware of the truth, which Karlie shared herself. As supportive as Tracy and her girls were trying to be, there was still an underlying sense of disappointment. It was hard for any of them to believe that Karlie could stoop so low.

The most shocking thing was that, no one was really concerned about the kiss. Of course it was a form of cheating and no one was trying to pass it off as no big deal, but the bigger issue was the fact that not only did she keep this secret for so long, she sat back and watched her wife begin to have a breakdown and did nothing about it. To be so heartless and cold was something no one ever thought they'd ever Karlie do.

A day after her talk with Taylor, Karlie moved out of Scott's apartment and took residence at The St. Regis hotel. Cara had offered for her to move in at her place but she just didn't want to be around anyone. She felt like such a disappointment and failure. Everything was crashing down around her. The only time of the day where she felt her best was when she was with her daughter. But now her visitation was limited to late afternoon/early evening, since Taylor kept Mikayla home during the day.

Sleep was more of an option than a necessity. Once she dropped the baby off to Taylor around 6:30, she would go back to the hotel and hit the gym for hours. She'd run forever on the treadmill and yet it tortured her mentally. It felt like being a hamster in a wheel running and running, with the hope of reaching your destination but the reality was that there was no end in sight. When she'd get back to her room, she would just sit on the couch and stare at the tv. This went on every single day. Sometimes it would be 2:30am before she even realized that she was still sitting in the same position, having not moved. Any sleep she did get was no more than two hours...three if she was lucky. By 7am she was in the office, getting a head start before anyone else arrived at their normal time of 8am.

Karlie began meeting with Miss Simpson again. Each day from 10-11am she dedicated herself to attending her session. It wasn't a secret that she was going, everyone knew and felt that was the best thing she could do at the moment.

Karlie arrived at Miss Simpson's office and took her spot on the love seat, across from the doctor.

"Ahhh, another extra large coffee, Karlie?"

"Yeah."

"You know it's not good to drink the amount of coffee you drink everyday. Are you even eating? You look like you lost weight."

"I drink coffee because I enjoy it. I eat when I'm hungry. I just haven't been hungry, that's all."

"Listen, Karlie, I've known you for years now and this isn't part of your session. All I'm saying is that, you need to slow down on all the coffee and exercise, especially if you're not eating. You risk having a heart attack and you know that. Ok, I won't lecture you anymore, let's go ahead and get started. So, have you and Taylor spoken since our last session?"

"Hahaha. Everyday our session starts with the same question and everyday you get the same response. She only said thank you when I dropped my daughter off to her. That's it."

"Has she started to respond to any of your text messages?"

"Only to tell me to stop texting her. My wife hates me. I broke her heart and I don't know how to fix it. She refuses to speak to me. She hardly looks at me when I'm dropping Mikayla off to her."

Karlie eyes began to water and her lips started to quiver as she looked up and off to the side, just trying to hold it together.
