LENA
When I left Stef at the motel tonight night, I couldn't help but cry while I was driving home. I understood that she wanted to break up. But I was going to miss her.
She decided to come over tomorrow to get her clothes and we was going to tell the kids together tomorrow also, we knew they was not going to like this new arrangement, but it is what Stef wanted and I had to follow he wishes.
I felt bad about leaving the kids at home by there self but they were all sleep when I left. I went in my room and Mariana was still in my bed fast asleep. I put my pajama on and laid back down.
STEF
When Lena left me tonight, I wasn't really sleepy anymore. I had to much on my mind. Much more like how we was going to tell the kids, where I was going to stay. I really didn't have enough money to stay at one of those long stay hotels. I could probably stay at Mike's but I knew that would not be a good idea. I had a few close colleagues at work that would let me stay with them, but I knew I couldn't go back home and stay there.

[The next morning]
I woke up and cleaned the motel room and took a quick shower. I didn't realize how much I ate that night and how much I drank. I had a small headache but it wasn't really bothering me much. I grabbed my stuff and drove over to my house so I could get my stuff and explain to the kids about me and Lena's current situation.
I stopped at a near by 7-11 to get me some coffee, some tylenol for my headache and a donut to snack on while I drove.
When I got to the house. The house was quiet so I figured everyone must of still been sleeping. I turned on the coffee pot and made some more coffee, since I drunk all the coffee I had this morning. Then I heard my name being called from the entrance to the corner.
"Stef," Lena said wiping her eyes. She must have just woken up.
"Hi, Lena i'm just making some coffee, can you call the kids down so we can get this over with and I want to get my stuff packed up.
"Alright, I will go wake them up," Lena said turning and heading back upstairs.
In about 5 minutes the kids all came downstairs still in there pajamas.
"Hey mom," Mariana said walking up to me hugging me tight. Brandon came and kissed me on my forehead, and Jesus hugged me also.
"I was worried about you," Mariana said letting go of me and sitting down on the stool. Lena poured herself a cup of coffee and sat down on the other end of the table.
"So, your mother and me would like to talk to you about something and then you can guys can go ahead and eat breakfast and do what you have to do for school, ok," I said and the kids nodded.
"I'm pretty sure you all know that your mother and me got into a fight yesterday, and I am pretty sure all of you know why, so we are not going to talk about that. But this incident has put a challenge in our relationship. Your mama and I agreed yesterday that it was for the best that we split up for awhile, so we can work things out between us," I said to them and all three of them had solemn looks on there face.
"I know that I hurt you guys for my actions, but I can promise you that it will never happen again, cause I realized I was at fault in hurting my family, and I apologize, but I hurt your mother more and we just think it will be a good idea to take some apart," Lena said rubbing Mariana's shoulder, because she looked like she was on the brink of tears.
"But I promise I won't miss any dinners and if you need me at all just call and text me and I will come over ok," I said to them looking at all of there faces. They looked so hurt and I felt really bad about doing this now.
"Where are you going to be staying at," Brandon asked me.
"Well, I was going to stay at a long stay hotel, but I don't think I can afford that right now, but if I have too, I can stay at one of my coworkers house or Mike's," i said to them and Lena looked at me funny.
"Mike's, your going to stay at Mike's," she said raising her eyebrow at me.
"Well that will probably be my last option, if I can't stay with Carl's or Nancy's house but Im sure Carl wouldn't have a problem since he owes me big time anyway," I said looking at Lena who went back to drinking her coffee.
"We know this is going to be hard on you guys, and it is going to change things up a little bit, but it doesn't change how much we love you guys," I said to them.
"I think this is stupid," Jesus said getting up from the stool and heading back upstairs.
I would of called him back down but I understood that this was alot for him. I looked at Brandon and he looked sad also but I knew he was holding in what he was really feeling. And Mariana had tears in her eyes. Lena whispered something to her, and she just shook her head and got down off the stool and ran up the stairs. Lena looked so defeated and I just blew a breath and looked back at Brandon.
"You alright B," I asked him. I knew this had to be harder on him, cause this was the second time his parents where splitting up.g
"I'm fine, I'm just going to get dressed for school," he said grabbing a apple out of the basket and heading upstairs.
"Well, I'm going to head upstairs and talk to Mariana and pack my stuff," I told Lena and she nodded while she sat there still drinking her coffee.
I just looked at Lena, and stared at her for a second and hoped to myself that we could work this out.
