Dirty Laundry

Chapter 22: Lied to me

"Your a widow?"

I felt betrayed. Hurt. Mostly because I've learned to trust him so much... His been lying to me all this time...

"I can't believe you didn't tell me." I mumbled, as the tears kept streaming down my face.

He stayed quiet. Say something! Your hurting me even more by staying quiet! "Can you talk?" I raised my voice.

He walked towards me and removed the document out of my hand and bent down picking up everything from the floor.

"Will--"

"What?" He looked up at me and yelled. He looked furious. "You shouldn't have went threw my things." He said calmly, he stood up and placed everything onto his desk.

"Your a widow? You were married, when were you ever gonna plan on telling me? Never?" I breathed heavily.

I tried calming myself down. But I was furious. He lied to me! His been married before... And not to mention, he had a son!!!

"You had a wife! And a son!" I yelled at him.

He stood there frozen like he was a damn soldier.

"Does everyone else know?" I asked wiping my tears away.

It wasn't worth it to cry over him! I pulled him by his arm and turned to face me.

"Does everyone else know?" I asked more calmly.

He nodded his head, "everyone who lives in this house knows--"

"Except me..."

He nodded again. I bit my inner gum and looked away. I couldn't stand him! Why????... His the worst person ever!

"I can't even look at you right now." I mumbled, looking down at the floor.

"Am sorry, I was gonna tell you sooner. I just didn't know how--"

"Liar! Your lying!" I shouted, looking up at him.

"I was gonna!" He shouted back.

"No you weren't!" I yelled in his face. "You know... You make a terrible liar." I gritted my teeth. I sniffed and looked away.

He reached for my arm, and held onto it tightly.

"Leave me alone." I hissed as I snatched my arm away from him.

His chest rose then it dropped once again. "You lied to me." I whispered, as the tears rolled down my face again.

"I know and am sorry." He whispered back. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into him. "Am sorry." He said again.

"You lied to me." I repeated.

I was feeling a certain type of way. My heart was aching with so much pain, it felt like a train had ran over it. I guess I was in love. I was willing to cross oceans for him. Move mountains.

I love him! I love him so much! I was in love with him... My heart has this heavy feeling, that I've never felt before. And it wasn't hate... Because I wanted to hold him. But yet again, he lied to me.

"You lied to me Will."

He nodded his head slowly, "I know." He whispered. "And am sorry." He wrapped his arms around me. "Forgive me."

Something took over me. The love that I had for him, did. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and he kissed my forehead. "Am sorry." He repeated. "I should've told you when I had the chance to."

"You should have." I mentioned.

Will
"Please tell me what happened?"

I looked over at Toni and sealed my lips together. Placing them into a straight line. I scratched the back of my head and looked at her again.

I swallowed my saliva and paid very close attention to her, "well... I got married to the love of my life in 2005, January 14th. I loved that woman with all my heart, I would've killed for her life." I smiled, thinking back.

"Two years later, she surprises me on her birthday with a pregnancy test, that read positive." I added.

I looked at Toni and she was so into what I was telling her.

"Go on." She said.

"Well we had a son, Jaden." I smiled, I still remember my little boy. "He was 3 when he died and Alexis was 32 when she died."

Toni stood up and came and sat next to me, "why did they die?" She asked, wiping away my tears I didn't even know were falling.

"Alexis never told me she had cancer, and she eventually died. I didn't know the cancer had effected Jaden until this one time he got really sick and I took him to the hospital, doctor told me what went down and he was diagnosed with cancer just a few months later, he died because he was to young to fight it. And cancer had once again won the battle." I sighed.

"I didn't tell you this, because I never wanted to think about it again, I didn't wanna relive those tragical moments."

"Oh Will..." She trailed off. "But I don't get why you treated me the way you did. I don't get why your so controlling--"

"Because life changed me Toni." I raised my voice at her. "I didn't think I was ever gonna love again. And I don't think I ever will." I admitted.

But to be honest, she was fishing for my heart and has already halfway pulled it out the ocean.

Her tears pierced her eyes. She hugged me, and the she placed her lips onto mine and kissed me.

"You seemed like a really nice guy back then." She chuckled.
