Honest Men In Chains(A Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates Love Story)

Chapter Twenty Two

Syn's P.O.V.

I left Matt's house knowing how I was going to tell Michelle. I drove to the house in complete silence. I got to the house and starred at it as I began getting out of the car.

I walked through the door and Michelle greeted me from the couch. I took a deep breath and sat next to her.

"Hey babe, you okay?" She asked.

"No. We uh, need to have a serious talk." I say hesitantly.

"What about?" She asked worriedly.

"Us." I sighed.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"Michelle, I have to be honest. I had an affair." I confessed.

Her eyes got big and she gasped in shock.

"With who?" She managed to say.

"Our merch girl, well former merch girl, Cyndy." I say.

"Former?" She asked.

"Yes. She quit. She didn't want to continue merching for Avenged because of our situation." I explained.

"I see. So, tell me, Brian. How do you feel about Cyndy?" She questioned.

"Honestly, Michelle. I love her. Not as a friend. I'm in love with her." I admitted.

"Do you wish to pursue a life with her?" She asked.

"Yes." I say choked up.

"Then, the only logical thing that should happen is for us to get a divorce." She suggested.

"I never meant for it to end this way." I say.

"Brian, just be honest, you aren't happy in this marriage. Maybe, you'll be happy in the next one." She said.

"Thank you for being so mature about this." I say.

"Well, screaming and yelling isn't going to get me anywhere." She joked.

I slightly laughed and looked at her. I loved Michelle, just not as much as I loved Cyndy.

"I'll head to a lawyers office about the papers." I say standing up.

"Alright. Be safe." She said.

I walked out the door and lit up a cigarette. It went smoother than I had thought. At least we are ending on good terms. I got in my car and started making my way to the lawyers office. I turned the radio on and was jamming out to the local rock station.

"Now time for your hourly weather report." The announcer said.

"Ugh!" I say as I put my hand on the dial.

"Tropical storm Mike has strengthened into a category 4 hurricane. Mike is said to make landfall tomorrow afternoon. Mike is coming in off the gulf and with the path it's traveling on, it's predicted it will make a direct hit on the Tampa Bay Area. Evacuations are now happening in certain Florida areas." The announcer explained.

"Shit!" I exclaimed.

I pulled into the lawyers office and sat there. Cyndy lives in the Tampa Bay Area! I sat in my car and wished and prayed and hoped like hell they were evacuating. I would never forgive myself if she gets hurt during this hurricane.
