I sigh as I realize that he's not coming home...again. Hi, I'm Alex and my husband of 10 years is cheating on me. I dont know when he stopped loving me, or if he ever did. I finally am able to go to sleep but wake with a start when I feel pain in my side. I gasp and sit up to find I'm on the floor. "Derek? What's going on?"
"Oops, my bad." I look up and see a woman above me. "Who are you?" She sneers at me. "I'm Derek's fiance. And your his ex as soon as you sign these and get out." She tosses some papers at me and smiles triumphantly. I look down at the divorce papers in my lap and smile sadly. Standing I walk into the kitchen he sits there with a glass of whiskey in his hands. "Here, they're signed...I just wish you would have talked to me." He glares and says "fine, I knocked up my now fiance and we already have two kids. You were a fad and I'm over it now. Have a nice life."
I feel the tears as I walk away. And out the door. I walk down the path and to the gate. "Hi Shaun...I need to leave." He looks at me sadly and then with anger. "It aint right. Makes me hate working for him." I chuckle and say "I'll be alright Shaun. Don't you worry." "Well I got you a cab, he'll take you anywhere you want to go." I smile and say "I um, I'm going to my brothers house I suppose...I don't really have anywhere else to go." He gives a sympathetic look and nods.
The cab pulls up and I slowly climb in and tell him the address. I watch out the window until we arrive and I pay him with what I had in my wallet before climbing out and walking to the door. I pause and stare at the door. My eyes sting and I bite my lip tale a deep breath before reaching up and knocking. There's footsteps and yelling and a woman opens the door. "Hi, can I help you?" She asks politely and I wipe my face and look down. "Yes um, may I speak to Kayden?" I ask and she smiles and nods. "Sure come on in." I follow her in and wait by the door while she goes upstairs. When they come back down I waych as he stops and stares at me before walking over and pulling me into a hug. "God I missed you. What's wrong, I thought that douche didn't allow you to see us?"
I swallow thickly and sigh. He um, we got a divorse...this morning. He's been seeing a woman and has two kids and another on the way. I...I don't have anywhere else to go..." I stutter out and he pulls back wide eyed. "You can stay with us, right after I go kill the asshole!" He pushes me aside and I turn and grab his arm. "Kay, please, it's fine. It's been a long time coming and I'm actually kind of glad..." I sniff and he takes a deep breath before nodding. He takes me upstair to a room and leans against the doorframe.
"I'm sorry Alex, sleep well, and we'll worry about the rest tomorrow."
