It's Not Goodbye

How Will I Explain This?

Charles' P.O.V.

I woke up the next day with a splitting headache and a horrible cough. I laughed as Marley stepped on Zoey to get both of us up and how Zoey grumbled at her as she laid back down. Today was the day that I had to tell the CTFxC about Alli and I. I got out of bed and sat at my computer. I turned on the camera and tried to talk, but I couldn't do it without starting to cry. I deleted my first draft and told myself to come back to it. I went into the kitchen it get a bowl of cereal, I forgot that I had no milk so I had to use orange juice. It was pretty gross and it made my stomach hurt. I then went back to the computer and tried announcing it, but the words kept getting harder and harder to say. I deleted the next four drafts from my computer. By this time, I had tried five times to say something so simple yet so hard. I had to distract myself before I thought about her anymore. I went into the bathroom and as I walked in, I slammed the door to Alli's closet. It scared Zoey and she knew I was upset so came running into the bathroom where I sat on the floor crying. She came over and licked my face, she always knew when I'm upset. I got up and looked at myself in the mirror, I was a mess without her and I knew it. I saw all the notes written on our mirrors, all the I love you's and special messages. I took off my wedding ring and set it in the drawer and I jumped in the shower.

Alli's P.O.V.

I drove to my parents house late last night and told them Charles and I had a huge argument. They set up the guest room for me and they didn't question me because I came here often when we'd argue. It had become more recent and apparent to my mom and dad but I always told them that we'd work it out. But today, when they asked me what happened, the answer that they were going to get was different from usual. When I got up, the only person up was my brother, Justin. The first thing he said to me was " Another fight with Charles?" I hated hearing this because that was really the reason of every time I came here. It used to be for visits but it turned into staying over because of a fight. Justin had left for work before I could tell him what had happened and by then both of my parents were awake. I sat them down and explained everything to them.
