"You're insane!"
Garrett Hayes backed away from the woman who was reaching for his hand. He swatted her hand away and grabbed his suitcase.
"What about Carter? How am I supposed to take care of a child by myself?"
Audrey Hayes stood there waiting for his answer as a tear fell down her slim face.
"Figure it out."
"Please don't leave us alone, I don't care if you don't love me but please stay for Carter's sake. He needs you more than ever right now. Please stay. My god Garrett, please stay for Carter."
She gently touched his shoulder and suddenly a massive force knocked her on the floor. She felt a aching sensation in the back of her head. Audrey shot her head up and saw a grin spread slowly across his face.
"Get this through your thick headed skull, you stupid bitch. Don't ever touch me. Talk to me. Look at me. Or even think of me. What I want you to do is get over me. It would be easier for the both of us. I don't want anything to do with you or Carter. All I want is Elizabeth. I don't love you anymore. I love her.
"Why... why,"she faintly whispered.
"WHY?
She nodded as she began to cry harder.
"What kind of fucking question is that, your one stupid ass bitch. DON'T YOU GET IT! YOU HAVE MADE MY LIFE MISERABLE SO I'M REPLACING YOU! I'm just trying to make my life better by getting rid of my problems, your one of my biggest ones. Maybe we'll meet again, when were slightly older and our minds are less hectic, and I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me. But right now, I am chaos to your thoughts and you are poison to my heart. The only cure to your poison is her."
He looked down for a moment and was silent.
"How long have you loved her..."
Her face was painted red and tears kept rolling down her face and shattering on the floor.
"I stopped loving you quite a while ago."
He showed no emotion as he stared at her laying on the ground. He glanced over to a family portrait of all of them.
"Remember all those nights I worked extra hours?
She said nothing.
"I've been with Elizabeth. Meeting her at places where no one would find out. We grew very close and fell in love. And every second spent with her meant I was growing apart from you. I decided that you never loved me or even cared about me. Always caring about how Carter's day was and never giving a single shit about me. I was tired of it! All i wanted was you to love me and you lost your opportunity. Elizabeth always cares about me. She was always there. And I was there for her. You see Audrey, you only make peoples lives miserable. I make peoples lives great. We're total opposites. It would never last anyway. Doesn't cancer run in your family or something? Wow , you'll just die anyway and leave me to take care of your worthless child! What a burden! I was never close with him anyway. I never got to even sit down with him and have a meaningful conversation. When Elizabeth and I have a kid, I'll treat him better than I treated Carter. That's the only thing I regret. "
He was silent for a moment.
"I can't believe I put up with your bull shit for this long... I'm actually..."
He looked up and saw a boy standing on the stairs. He looked as if he was waiting for him to say goodbye or even give him a speech on how much he will miss him. The boy ran down the stairs to give his father a goodbye hug. Garrett just held up his hand. The boy stopped right in his tracks and backed away.
"Come here, Carter." whispered his mother. She began crying uncontrollably. Everything was beginning to blur into nothing.
"Where are you going Dad?"
And at that moment, Garrett walked out of the house and into the darkness.
Gone.
For eternity...
