Falling From The Floor

Calm Down🍂

CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

I opened the door and put my things down. Tony watched me as I came inside the house. "Hey, Baby...." Tony said. "Hey." I said as I then went upstairs. As I went upstairs, I went into the room that I was staying and took off my shoes. Tony then appeared into the door way. "Are you ok?" Tony asked me. "Of course." I said as I looked up and gave him a fake smile. He then stepped inside the room and stopped in front of me. "Cheryl, I know that you're not. I told you that I will handle it if it's not handled properly." Tony said with a straight face. I looked up at him. "Ok." I said as I stood up and started to change my clothes. "Baby, are you feeling ok?" Tony asked me. "I'm fine. I just need to lay down for a while. My head is killing me." I said as I slipped into bed. "Okay." Tony said as he jumped into bed with me. He then moved his body closer to mines. I then put my head on his chest and he held me. "I'll go and pick her up. I'll talk to her teacher and tonight we will need to have a small talk with Cai about this. We don't ever want her to feel as if she can not come to us about things like this." Tony said. "You're correct." I said as I closed my eyes. "I have to tell you something." Tony said. I was silent. The last time he said that, I was notified that he cheated on me with another woman. "What is it?" I asked him. "I have to go back to work tomorrow." Tony said. I was still silent after he said that. "Oh ok." I said as I broke the silence. He then held me closer to him and helped me to be comfortable while I drifted off to sleep.

2 HOURS LATER

TONY's POINT OF VIEW

"Cheryl." I said as I looked at her soundly asleep still. She didn't move. "Baby." I said as I touched her. "Yes?" She said as she hugged one of the pillows. "I'm about to get in the shower and then go get Cai. Call me if you need me." I said as I kissed her cheek. "Ok, babe." She said as she pulled the covers up a little. I then slipped out of the bed and stood up. I got my things together and then I went inside the bathroom. I turned on the shower water and started to get undressed. I stepped into the shower and put my head under the water. I just started thinking about my family and my responsibilities as a husband and a father. I love Cheryl so much and I've put her through so much stuff. Every time I think back to what I did, the more I regret it. She didn't deserve that and she didn't deserve the old me that just wanted to continue to hurt her more and more each other. I don't even think that there was a day that went by that I didn't want to hurt her feelings and make her cry. That was how cold my heart was...I didn't care. Now that we have another baby on the way, I have to get my act together even more. I just want to provide for my family and do more plays. I just want to be happy and make them happy as well. Sometimes, I feel as if they would be better off without me. I've brought them all so much pain and I keep blaming myself for it all. Maybe, we would have went a different route with this marriage and been stronger than ever. We didn't even go back to see Jade the day after that. I just continued to let the water run down my face and I just continued to think. This time....it's going to be different though. I've gained a little of Cheryl's trust and love back. She even calls me "baby" again and I actually thought that I wouldn't gain that back ever. I've learned that if I were to be calm when it comes to Cheryl, everything will be better. She is best when not under pressure and I've been trying to take some of that stress off of her. She's what makes me the happiest and I want to forever be in her life. Every single day I look at her and I can't help but to make sure that I never break her heart ever again. I've realized that I have a very special woman and she needs some very special attention. I'm lucky. I didn't realize it then but I surly realize it now. I finished taking my shower and I then put on my clothes. I looked over at Cheryl while she was still asleep and just smiled at her. Afterwards, I went downstairs and took the keys to the car. I took a few things that Cheryl had brought over here and put them in the car. My goal was to put some things back into the house before I went to pick up Cai. I put the things into the car and hoped into the drivers seat. I thought before I left and jumped back out of the car. I went to go lock the door. Sadly, I almost forgot. I then got back into the car and started to make my way home.
