"Leah I love you so fucking much."
"I love you too Tim. We should probably go to the hospital."
We had to drag Aaron to the car like a lifeless body. I drove because I wasn't quite sure Tim could see straight from anger and injury.
Both of them were set up in their own ER rooms, I was sitting with Tim.
"Listen Leah you know how much I love you. But this hurt me a lot. I need some space. I think I'm going to move out for a while."
"I understand."
I ran to the bathroom and screamed tears. I was so upset I threw up. I am such a fuck up. Why did I have to have an affair? Why did I have to be so selfish? I bet you if I told Tim what I wanted he would've done it for me. What am I going to do? How am I supposed to tell Benjamin?
After wrapping and stitches we were released. We both said goodbye to Aaron and wished him well.
Tim got in the drivers seat and we rode in silence. Then reality set in. He stopped at his parents house.
"Goodbye Leah. I love you. This isn't forever I just need sometime."
I watched him solemnly walk to the door.
This is really happening. I'm alone. I have to go home and explain to my son that daddy won't be home for a while.I got home and immediately went to Benji's room. He deserves to know.
He addressed the elephant in the room right away "is daddy home?"
"No honey. Daddy's not home. He's not going to come home for a while."
"Why?"
"Mommy made a really bad mistake and Daddy is upset so he's staying with Grandma and Grandpa."
I couldn't do it anymore I left and did the only thing that would calm me down: go to the gym.

Tim POV
"She did what? This is all true Tim?"
"Yeah mom. She cheated on me and I got in a fight with the guy."
"Adultery is a sin. So what are you going to do? Divorce her?"
"I don't know. I'm just going to stay here for a while and figure things out."
I was laying in my bed, the one where I made love to Leah on our wedding night. I hate giving the story over and over again. Every single time I've explained things to my family they sways ask if I'm going to divorce her. At this point I don't even know. We love each other and I want to make this work, but if I can't make her happy what's the point?
----------------------------------------------
I woke up with white walls and strange people surrounding me. Hospital. Working out plus starving equals passing out and hospital. I am so stupid I know I can't function without Tim especially if he's angry at me.
"Leah, is there anyone you would like us to contact?"
I thought for a second. I don't want Tim to know that I fell back into the eating disorder but at the same time it would show how much I need him.
"My husband please."
