"And...he kissed me." She said but it was kind of a question like she was scared of my reaction. I jumped up and tackled her in a hug, I kissed her cheeks, forehead, nose, but not her lips. Because that's just weird. "Okay! Okay! Get off me!" She said shoving me off her.
"Awwww!!!! I told you you two are going to get married!!!"
"IT WAS JUST A KISS!"
"Still! I was right!"
"Clara. We. Aren't. Married."
"Well close enough for me." I smiled at her knowingly.
"Whatever." I heard her mumble under her breath. I decided to ignore her and skipped around the house. I was so excited I wanted to scream so the boys would here me. But then I remembered. They're gone. They left.
I stopped in my tracks and sat on the couch. Sighing I turned the tv on and oh look who's on my tv! One Direction on their tour! Joy.
I turned the tv off and when I set the remote on the table I saw an envelope it was from my kids. I smiled sadly picking it up. Since I'm an adult now I can get custody of them. I opened the letter and saw pictures of them. They're getting so big already and I don't like it. I'm missing them growing up. I'm missing their birthdays.
After I called my aunt about my kids I looked at the time and realized it was time to go meet Ross. I smiled and walked out the door grabbing my keys. As I drove to the park I turned on the radio and sang along to the song.
La da da da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter for my own protection baby
To be with myself in center
Clarity, peace, serenity
[chorus:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
The path that I'm walking, I must go alone
I must take the baby steps till I'm full grown, full grown.
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I forsee the dark ahead if I stay
[chorus:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself in center
Clarity, peace, serenity
Yeah
[chorus:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
La da da da da da
Finally I got to the park and pulled into the parking lot. I spotted Ross sitting on a small hill by the lake. I smiled as I looked at the ring on my right hand remembering the first night he took me to a park.
I got out of my car and walked over to Ross when he saw me he smiled and stood up.
"Clara! I'm so glad to see you!"
"Do you have something to tell me?" I couldn't control it. My mouth moved before I could even comprehend what i was saying.
"What?" he scoffed.
"Did you do something at the New Years Eve party?"
He scratched the back of his neck nervously and avoided my gaze.
"You slept with someone didn't you?" silence. "Was she a fan? Rosie? Sarah? Kay? Santana?"
"No. It was..." he paused and I waited for him to respond. Nothing.
"Ross! Why can't you just tell me who it was?!"
"Because then you would hate me!"
"Well I'm obviously not gonna be happy with it but I'm sure we can work it out!" he shook his head. He's giving up. He's giving up on us. Tears fell down my cheeks. He had cheated in me with some random girl and he can't even give me her name?! And now he's just giving up on us?! "just give me a first name."
"No! I can't! I just can't!"
"It's one word! One little word! and you can't say it?!"
"It's not just that! You don't understand!"
"Tell me right now." I quickly wiped my cheeks trying to get the tears to go away.
"Fine if I tell you will you leave me alone?"
"Yes."
He thought for what seemed like forever and then he turned and walked away.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
"I can't tell you Clara! Why can't you get that through that big head of yours?!"
"Excuse me? I'm the one with a big head? How about you check again. Dear."
"You know what! I don't have to explain anything to you!"
"Yes you do! you cheated on me. All I want is a first name!"
"We are over. You are so dramatic! I can't stand you!"
With that he turned and walked away. I looked at my ring and took it off. Staring at the back of his head I chucked it as hard as I could.
