Hey Rhett Landos ok,I think some kids were picking on him think hes pulling a sticky,me and Christy will go and speak to the teacher see what they say hope your ok see you tomorrow
 
I suddenly feel sick at the mention of Christy's name. All this time I've been worried about telling him and him reacting badly. Now he knows, and hes took it well. But now what? We're both married, and not too each other! We have 5 kids between us. What now ?
An affair, break up the families?
Man I need a drink  I go and grab a beer , worst luck Jesse walks in
J." Really Rhett it's not even four and your drinking "
R. " jesse it's a beer, and I'm done for the day"
J." then you can go and pick up the kids from school"
R. " why where  are you going?"
J. " the gym, sorry if its such a chore picking up your own kids"
R." No of course I don't mind, but gym again ,really that's like  every day this week I'm starting to worry about you."
J." Why start now ,you haven't been bothered about me for ages"
R. " hey that's not fair, I do worry  about you, I meant you don't even need to go to the gym, theres not an ounce of fat on you".
J." Its not about loosening weight, its about feeling good in my own skin".
R." Have I ever made you feel like you're not good enough?"
J." Yes Rhett."
R." What have I ever said or done to make you feel that way".
J. " nothing,  it's what you've not said,  not done, when was the last time you told me I look beautiful? When was the last time we had sex?
I start to think.
J." Exactly!" " see you later Rhett "
R. " Jesse  wait can we talk"
The door slams.
R. " fuck now what,"
As if on a my phone rings its stevie
S" hey Rhett how are you,did he calm down"
R" it went ok, il ring you later I've got to pick up the kids" I look  at my watch, crap I'm going to be late
