All That Matters 2

TWENTY SIX

1 year later.

Kelly and I we're broken up but now Nadia was interested in guys. Jay and I we're still seperated but things were okay now.

When I went to work today, usually I was the last one there but today I was the first one there. I went to the locker room to grab some of my stuff. Then I heard the door open and Jay voice.

"Erin!"

"Over here!"

"Hey I saw your stuff upstairs figured you were in here." He said coming around the corner.

"Yeah." I said nodding my head and closing the locker.

"Hey so Nadi texted me she said she is bringing her friend Jonah by the house tonight? She wants to family to meet him?" He said and I nodded my head.

"Cool." He said walking away.

"Jay?" I said as he came back around the corner.

"We need to tell them we aren't getting back together." I said closing my eyes.

Jay said nothing and so I said it for him "Its been 2 years, its better this way and you know it."

I try to hold back the tears. "Okay we will tell them once we sign."

I nod my head and Jay puts his hand on my cheek, I grab his wrist and try to put on a brave face. He hugs me and kisses my head "I love you Erin."

"Love you too."

We head back upstairs and do our normal jobs. Later we head home and meet Nadia's friend Jonah. He eventually leaves and I tell Jay that tommorow we go to get the divorce papers. He replies with okay but I know he isn't.

Neither am I.

"So how long have you been seperated for?"

"Almost 2 years." I say.

"Okay and um there is a few things we need to discuss like the kids and the house and stuff. So um who will be taking the house?"

I don't answer but I look at Jay hoping he will answer. "Erin can take it."

But I didn't expect him to say that.

"Jay--"

"It's your home and our kids home,  she takes it." He says looking at the lawyer.

"Okay and the kids and have you talked about custody?"

"We don't need to go through it. We see our kids equally."

"Well you two are a very easy couple to work with." She says as we put on a fake smile.

She hands us the divorce papers and we go to the elevator we get on at the same and stay silent looking forward. I reach for his hand and he grabs mine.

This was it we were really doing this. After 11 years of marriage and now this.

I start to cry continuing to hold his hand. And he grabs me and hugs me and I keep crying in his arms.  The elevator opens and I let go and walk out not saying a word but I keep crying.

I wasn't ready to sign them right now. Maybe not for another few days. But it's happening.
