Arissa sat in front of Jenna holding a fancy pen in her hand. "So, you're filing this paperwork in California...and we'll do that tomorrow...because y'all didn't have a pre-nuptial agreement or anything...you get half...and terms for Christian are outlined here....." she pointed to the bottom of the last sheet. Jenna wrote that Bruno would be able to see his son when he had spaced out enough time to be with his son. That meant no popping in and out of his life like he was now. He would have to space out his schedule to see his son for at least a week at a time.

Arissa signed the papers near the blue tabs. She tried to hold herself together, but started to cry as she signed the last sheet. She dated it pushing it near her lawyer. "The fucking end...."

Bruno looked down at his phone reading a text message from his sister.

She signed the papers.

"Shit...she wasn't kidding..." he said to himself. Just as he finished the statement he heard a knock on the door of the house that just a few months ago he called home...home because Arissa and Christian were with him. Now it was just a house. He looked at the empty spaces- pictures, blankets, small little things that Arissa had taken with her to Texas. He touched the empty space where a small wedding picture once sat. He opened the door seeing Brad at the door with a handful of papers. Bruno led his lawyer through the maze of his house. They sat down at the big kitchen table. Brad pulled out a pen pointing to the red tabs.

"You sign the red ones. It's exactly what we thought it would be..."

"When do I have to have these signed by?" Bruno asked.

"You have three days...." Brad answered. Bruno touched the papers lightly thinking to himself.

"I'll get 'em to you by then...." Bruno said standing up to lead his lawyer out of the house. He closed the door behind him going back to the table. He read through the papers noting every single thing she had demanded – way too much money for the baby, $15, 000 a month, a college fund for their son, a house in Texas and the promise that he would not write a single song about what happened. "It's over...." he said signing at the bottom of the page.
