We drove in silence for a while, not really sure where we were going.I looked down at my hands. 'This is all your fault.'
"Hey..." Jane said, taking a quick glance at me.
I looked up at her. "Yeah?"
She sighed. "I'm sorry I got you into that."
I looked down again. "It's ok. Honestly, I should be the one apologizing."
She took my hand in hers and gave it a gentle squeeze. "You don't have to apologize for anything. I chose to be with you, even though I was married."
I let out a low sigh. "Maybe you made the wrong choice..."
She looked over at me. "I don't think I did... you're an amazing person and I feel lucky to have you in my life. I've wanted a divorce for a long time and all you did was give me the courage to actually go through with it."
I met her gaze, a small smile forming on my lips. "Thank you."
She smiled before looking back at the road.
After a while, we ended up in front of my house.
I turned to Jane. "So... I guess I'll see you later then?"
She gave me a small smile and nod.
I leaned over to give her a quick kiss before stepping out of her car and waving her off.
My parents looked over at me as I walked into the house.
"Hey, sweetie, how was your weekend?" Marry asked.
I sighed. "It was ok."
'Yeah right.'
"Are you ok?" Vanessa asked.
I just nodded before heading to my room...
The next few weeks passed painfully slow after that. I haven't seen Jane since that day and we barley talked on the phone. She kept reassuring me everything was ok, but, deep down, I still felt guilty.
We both knew she wanted a divorce, but I don't think either of us wanted it to go down like that.
Jane spent most of the time finalizing the divorce and getting settled into her new apartment, so I didn't blame her for not talking to me much, but I really missed her.
I spent the time moping around the house, the events of that night playing over and over again in my mind. I thought of all the things I could've done differently, how I could've just avoided the whole thing all together. But, it was to late for that, what's done is done and I couldn't change it...
My phone rang out from my nightstand. I hurriedly answered it, hoping it was Jane.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey, it's Emma, how're you feeling?"
I slumped back into my bed. "I'm good..."
"You sure? 'Cause I haven't heard from you in weeks." She replied in an accusing tone.
I sighed. "I know and I'm sorry. How about we get some lunch?"
"Fine, I'll be there in a few."
"Alright, see you soon."
I hung up before hauling myself out of bed and getting ready for the day...
I met Emma at my front door.
"Hey." I greeted.
"Hey... So, are you gonna tell me what's been going on?"
