I woke up the next morning and found Alex sitting on the couch, this time with clean clothes because he probably took a shower, acting super normal.
"Hey baby," he said.
"Hey baby," I responded, "so what did you do last night?"
He froze for a second.
"Oh I was just watching the game," he said.
"Cool, and then got drugged up on steroids?" I asked.
"Jen, I'm sorry," he responded.
"I asked you and you lied to me. Alex I loved you and you lied to me, you lied to Ella, you lied to Tashi, you lied to Max and you lied to Emme! What happened to building a good relationship with your kids, you're family, you're friends, you're girlfriend!" I exclaimed.
"Jen please don't leave me," he begged.
"You aren't who I thought you were, Alex it's over," I said as I stormed out of the house.
I ran to my car bawling my eyes out and drove to my parents' place. I completely forgot that Keith, Harry and I were on for lunch tomorrow afternoon and I had to play it off cool.
"Jen baby why are you crying?" Lupe asked.
"Alex lied to me," I said.
"I knew that man was still a cheater," said Lupe.
"No, he didn't cheat, I responded.
"Then what did he do?" Lupe asked.
"He started doing drugs again," I said.
"Oh no baby," she said.
"That's what we would call each other," I bawled as a curled up in her lap.
Harry and his wife at the same time (Harry's POV)
I come home at around 2pm from work to find my wife in bed with another man and I'm heartbroken. She didn't see me see her though. I wanted to see if she would come clean and obviously, she didn't.
"Why were you in bed with another man?" I asked.
"What? What do you mean?" Jill asked.
"What do you mean what do I mean? I saw him in our bed laying next to you." I responded.
"He's just a friend," Jill replied.
"So 'friends' sleep with each other?" I asked.
"Look Harry I'm sorry, he just gets me more than you do," Jill replied.
"What the fuck?" I replied, "We've been married for more than ten years, have two children together and this man knows you better than me?" I asked.
"Well..." she replied.
"That's enough," I replied, "I'm taking the kids to my parents' house."
I got into my car and picked up Leila and Becca from school.
"Where's mommy?" Leila asked.
"Well mommy and I are in a fight right now so you guys are going to grandma and grandpa's place ok?" I responded.
"So does that mean we're never going to see mom again?" Becca asked.
"No, of course you'll see here just not today," I replied, "or tomorrow," I mumbled.
As soon as I dropped my kids off at my parents' place, and drove to my house. I stared at the ceiling reflecting on everything that just happened like what I'm going to do with the kids and how this was all going to work out tomorrow, how I have to explain to my co-judges why I'm kind of depressed tomorrow.

Jennifer's POV
Oh my gosh my life sucks. I bet the rest of the judges are doing so much better in there relationship than I am.
The next morning...
Oh dear god, today's the lunch with Keith and Harry, I have to pull myself together.

Harry's POV
I really don't want to go to the lunch because of everything that just happened yesterday but I really want to know who I'm working with. I mean Jennifer is a beautiful and amazingly successful superstar and Keith is you know, Keith. I just have to pull myself together because their lives a probably going perfect and just the way they want it to.

Jennifer's POV
Well it's time to get ready for the lunch I guess.
"Give me a fashionable look but not make it look like I'm trying hard," I ask my glam squad.

Harry's POV
I don't really care about what I look like, I'll just wear a suit and do some touch-ups and file for divorce tomorrow.
