Poor Unfortunate Sea

Chapter 16: Under Fire

Heidi's POV

I am not sure just how long I have been standing here, I feel like time has stopped, and everything has gone still. "Heidi?" I hear the faint echoing voice of Pearl who is crazy enough to still be in the room after telling me what she just told me. I somehow manage to get back to reality and out of the emotional fog I was in. "Pearl, did you just tell me that my husband Harry, the man that I love, and the father of my child cheated on me?" I say in a dark and dangerous tone feeling my hair start to flame up as the anger boils inside of me, the more I look at Pearl the more I want to destroy her. "It was just one time Heidi, and we both regretted it as soon as it happened." I start walking very slowly towards Pearl backing her up with every step. "IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BOTHER THE TWO OF YOU WHEN YOU WERE HAVING SEX!" I yell as Henry starts to cry but all I can see is red at this point. I reach out grabbing Pearl by her shoulders and sit her down in the desk chair. "Now Pearl, I am only going to ask you this once, tell me what happened." I wave my hand forming a fireball as I look at the fire in my hand then to Pearl. "And try not to like to me, you wouldn't like what would happen." I can feel Pearl start shaking in fear, this is the first time that she has ever seen this side of me. "I will tell you everything, but you have to put of the fire." I slowly put of the fire in my hand before kneeling in front of her. "Talk." Pearl nods her head and takes a deep breath before telling me her explanation. "It was a couple months ago, Herkie had cancelled our date, and I was walking back to my dorm room when I ran into a very angry and distraught looking Harry." I start thinking back and I soon realize when Harry must have cheated on me. "It was the night after him and I had a huge fight about me not being there as a wife and mother, and then he found clothes in my purse that belonged to someone else." Pearl nods her head agreeing with me. "He was drunk when he ran into me, he wasn't making much sense, but then all of a sudden he kissed me." I stand up walking over to my jewelry box and toss into the mirror shattering it. "I AM A GOOD WIFE, I AM A GOOD MOTHER, AND I KNOW THAT I AM NOT PREFECT, BUT DAMN IT I LOVED HIM!" I yell loudly enough that I think even the whole Isle heard me. "Heidi, he felt awful about it, and we swore that it would never happen again." I start laughing but I am not sure why, "It only takes once Pearl, I know that for a fact." I turn my attention to my son as I pick him up trying to calm him down from my outburst. "He told me that he never felt so hurt, he wanted to make the pain go away, and wanted to make you hurt just as much as you made him." I don't think that my heart has ever felt this broken, and that is including when I saw Harry and Uma on the isle. "Turns out that you can't change who you truly are." Pearl stand up placing her hand on my shoulder but I quickly shove it away. "He still loves you." I can't take it anymore, I start to feel my head pounding, my breathing picks up, and I swear that I am having either a panic attack or a heart attack. I close my eyes to my thoughts back on track but everything fills with darkness.

Hayden's POV

I open my eyes and look around to see that I am still in the bedroom. I look down at Henry and place him in his crib. "I am not falling your ticks again little boy." I whisper to Henry who is now fast asleep. "Heidi?" I hear the sound of the voice of the homewrecker. "Anything else you want to throw in my face?" I snap at her crossing my arms over my chest. "I have been trying to figure out a way to tell you this, but it is isn't easy to do, and I thought that you should hear it from me instead of someone else." I roll my eyes feeling the anger get more and more built up inside of me. "Of course, because you just couldn't wait to see the look on my face when you saw that you just how much you were able you hurt me, and if you are expecting me to cry you are going to disappointed." Pearl gives me a pathetic sympathy look, "That is isn't true at all Heidi." I couldn't take it anymore, and I have more important things to do then stand here and listen to someone that is on my list of people to kill if the barrier ever gets broken. "LET ME MAKE ONE THING PERFECTLY CLEAR, I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT BABY, BECAUSE I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOU, ABOUT HERKIE, AND MOST ALL ABOUT HARRY!" I roar at Pearl as I feel my hair flame up. "I owed you the truth Heidi, I couldn't keep this secret anymore." This makes me burst out laughing, "THE TRUTH? THAT DOESN'T MEAN A SINGLE DAMN THING TO YOU OR HARRY!" Pearl takes a step away from me now seeing just how angry I am. "I know this is hard for you to hear, and I can't tell you how sorry I am for that." I growl at her as she stands there trying to justify for what she did. "YOU HAD SEX WITH HARRY. WAS HERKIE TO BUSY FOR YOU THAT DAY SO JUST DECIDE TO JUMP ON THE NEXT GUY THAT CAME ALONG NOT MATTER WHO HE WAS!" Pearl takes a deep breath and I can see that she is close to crumbling which makes me so happy on the inside. "All I can say is what I have been saying all along, I never wanted to hurt you Heidi." At this point I am done playing as Heidi for the moment, "SHUT UP!" I yell as loudly as I can before slapping the taste out of Pearls mouth. Pearl holds her cheek looking at Heidi with tears in her eyes and a shocked expression on her face. "I never want to see you again, and next time I won't be so gentle." I say in a dark low tone of voice before grabbing my purse off the bed and storming out of the room, and getting back to my task.
