I cheated death because I cheated on her

Chapter 1: The girl in the window

//Joey's p.o.v//

It was a quite night at home just watching tv with Ellen and the kids. I loved nights like these, this felt like an escape from reality. I had a hard day at work and my car broke down on the freeway coming home. We were watching some fairy movie since it was Sarah's night to pick what we watched as a family. My son was falling asleep and my wife with reading her mystery books. Life was good.

After the movie was over me and Ellen carried our sleeping kids up to their beds. I lean down and give little Sarah a kiss on her forehead "Goodnight my little fairy Princess"

"Sweet dreams" I say leaving her room and entering Dylan's

I lean down to give him a kiss on the cheek "Goodnight Dyl"

"Sleep tight" I say walking out his room and heading downstairs to my wife cleaning up the kitchen from dinner. Obviously in a bad mood.

"Take the trash out." My wife basically shouts at me.

"You could at least say it a little less like im your slave" I say rolling my eyes.

"Stop being a dick Joey and take the damn trash out, your always making things more complicated" She practically screams,

"Shut the hell up before you wake the kids" I raise my voice a little.

"Don't talk to me like that, and don't act like you care about our kids." She yells to make me mad

"Don't you ever say I don't care about those kids! They are my life!" I yell at her even louder

"What the fuck ever Joey, your nothing but a piece of shit. Now take the damn trash out" She demands.

I decide to do what she asks instead of causing a bigger fight. I make my way outside to the trash bin we have out back. I look up at this house that has been empty since we moved into this neighborhood two years ago and I see a light. Then I say aloud "Oh yeah, I forgot someone moved into that old place". As soon as I say that this beautiful, blonde haired woman walks in front of the window. She stands there turning to face the other direction putting cloths into a dresser in front of her. "She must still be unpacking" I say. Then, she starts getting undressed. I knew I should look away but I just can't help myself. Shes fully undressed now and im still staring, then she turns around and I see a beautiful naked woman in her window. "Holy hell" slips out of my mouth. I shake my head quickly "this is wrong" I say throwing the trash into the bin and rushing back into the house. I think to myself "should I tell Ellen what I just saw?" "No way she'll get mad and it'll start another fight, but Its not like you meant to see her naked, it just happened. Yeah keep telling yourself that buddy" my conscious says.

I decide not to tell her and just go to sleep after watching a couple more episodes of Supernatural. But the whole time, I was thinking about the girl in the window.

The next morning I wake up to go to work. I do my normal morning routine. I get up extra early to make coffee for me and Ellen then pack the kids lunch and stick them in the fridge in there lunch bags. While im in the shower my wife starts breakfast and it's normally almost done or done by the time I get out and dressed for work. I wake the kids and get them dressed for school and daycare. Me and my wife both work mornings so Sarah has to go to daycare until Dylan gets off school and my wife gets off 'work' right before Dylan gets out of school, so it all works out. I give the kids and my wife a kiss goodbye and I set off for work.

When I pull into work there's a car in my parking spot. "What the hell" I nearly shout. "Who's car is that?" I ask not recognizing the car in my spot.

I walk into the building and get on the elevator to get to my floor. I step off the elevator and immediately get called to my bosses office. "What did I do now?" I ask myself.
