She's Out Of My Life (Danisnotonfire)

Gone

"I can't believe I ever fell in love with you Daniel!"

"Helena, not in front of Charlie and Harry!"

"I don't care! I think they should know what's going on. Do you want to tell them, or should I?"

"Helena, don't do this"

"Alright then," she started. I felt my stomach drop. I didn't want the kids knowing what was happening. They were only 12. "Considering you have the guts to, I will tell them." She continued, "kids you know how a baby is made right? Yes well daddy has been sleeping with another woman and got her pregnant."

I felt this rage run through my body like an electric shock. I felt my hand rise and slap Helena'a face.

"Helena I told you I was drunk and she didn't mean a thing!" I grabbed the sobbing kids and pulled them out of the room.

"Daddy, if y-you a-and mu-mummy break u-up c-can you l-look after us?" Harry asked.

"I don't know dude, it depends if this blows over or not," I felt flattered knowing that my kids would want to stay with me, " for now just stay here and hopefully we all will still have mummy okay?"

"Okay" they both replied in unison. I left the room and I felt my stomach doing all kinds of flips.

"Dan," I came in and she was sobbing, hand up to her cheek. I sat down next to her on the step. "Get away from me, you monster!" She screamed. I felt terrible, I still love her.

"Helena, I-I'm so sorry! But you know I love you and-" she cut me off.

"But I don't think I love you anymore." More sobs escaped from her chest.

"What about the kids? Who is going to look after them?" I've heard about those adds on the radio, you know the ones that the parents are splitting up and they only want what's best for the kids, well that's what I want. What's best for the kids.

"Well I know we both just want what's best for them, so we will let them decide."

I left to get the kids. When I walked in I seen Charlie in the corner sobbing into her knees and Harry trying to comfort her and telling her it's okay.

"Kids we need to talk to you." They both stood up and walked over to the door. I went to open the handle when I felt arms wrap around me. It was Charlie. Then Harry did the same. I turned around and hugged them back, stopping the tears pricking my eyes from flowing, but it didn't work.

"No matter what happens, or what you have heard, you know I still love you."

"I love you too." Harry replied, Charlie just couldn't contain herself and she didn't want to let go of me.

"Come on,"

We left the living room and came into the hallway were Helena was sitting on the steps. She ushered the kids to sit on the steps and she stood up. I felt so nervous. What will the kids think? Without having a mum in their lives? About a million and one questions were floating about my brain.

Helena looked at me like she wanted me to start.

"Kids, we have decided to split up. It's for the best. The best for us and for you. This doesn't mean we won't love you anymore and that your mum and I won't see each other anymore it just..." I was struggling to find the right words to use. "It just means that we won't live together anymore. So we needed to talk about the living arrangements. You have to decide whether you want to live with your mum or me."

As quick as lightning they both said,"you"

"This doesn't mean that you won't get to see your mum anymore just means you might not see her as much. So don't worry about that either."

"Yes and I only really want what is best for you two so if you don't ever want to see me again I'm fine." She said, tears streaming down her face,"but would you like to move or live here?"

Harry answered for the both of them,"here I think would be best, we have lived here most of our lives, so it only makes sense, right?"

Charlie agreed and Helena went upstairs and packed her stuff. She kissed the kids on the cheek and came up to me.

"Dan, I will never forget, but I think this is the best. I hope we could try stay in touch but maybe not. You still have my number, it's your desicion whether you want to delete it or not."
She then hugged me whispering, "the years had with you were the best, thank you"
I couldn't contain myself after that. The kids and I stood in the doorway and waved bye. The kids stayed downstairs and watched tv while I was upstairs trying to sleep and rethink what took place. I woke up because I didn't want to see the worst. Saying goodbye to the love of my life. Jump up and propped myself on my elbows.

Call Phil, he could help you.
I grabbed my phone and dialled his number.

"Hi," I started, "can I talk to you I need some advice."

"Yeah, sure what's up?"

The thought of what happened killed me inside. I felt tears prick my eyes but I managed to stop them.

A. Note
For this story Dan will be 28 for logical reasons

"Remeber when I told you I screwed up my life by getting Helena pregnant at 16, well I've screwed up my life... again," I heard my voice crack at that last part.

"What's happened? Are you okay? Is it something to do with Helena?-" I cut him off.

"Woah, woah, woah, let me gather myself here. So I slept with another woman when I was drunk and I kinda got her pregnant and then Helena found out and now we have split up. I have full custody of the kids and I just can't, I don't, I-I don't know what to do? Please help me!" I cried down the phone, "Phil I've lost the love of my life and now she is gone. What have I done? What mess have I got myself in?"

"Dan, Dan, Dan, it's gonna be okay, you hear me? It's gonna be fine, we will work something out. Do you want me to live with you for a while so that your not gonna be all by yourself?"

"That would be great thanks."
