Chelsea part 1

Chelsea looked around one last time. All of her clothes had been packed, and loaded up in her car. She thought about all the happy times, they'd spent right there on that sofa. All the times they made love, or just sat and held each other. She couldn't believe it had all come down to this.

She sighed and separated her car keys, from the estate keys. She heard the door open, she turned. Their eyes lock.

Adam walked in and closed the door. "Chelsea, hey." He looked down at her hands, holding the two separate sets of keys.

She tossed him the estate keys. He caught them.

"Are we playing some sort of a game?"

She shook her head. "Not anymore."

"What's going on Chels? I noticed your car, has quite a few things in it."

She smiled. "Their all mine I promise."

He didn't return her smile. "Giving some things to the goodwill?"

She didn't respond.

Adam walked over, and tossed his bag on the sofa. His eyes never leave her. "What are you doing?"

And without hesitation she answered. "I'm leaving Adam."

He rushed over, and grabbed her hand. "Chelsea, you are taking this too far, don't you think?"

"No, Adam. I am not taking this too far. You did, when you put Sharon's needs over mine."

"I didn't put her needs over yours. You are my wife. I love you, NOT her."

She chuckled. "You say that so well." She pulled her hand out of his grip, and took a couple of steps backwards.

Adam had a confused look on his face. "You don't want me touching you now?"

She shook her head. "No."

"Baby, whatever I did, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel-."

She interrupted. "Like I didn't matter? Like we were not even married? Like I should be grateful, because I'm living in this huge house, and you even married me?"

"Chelsea, look If I made you feel that way, I'm sorry."

Her eyes darken. "No, I don't think you're sorry. You're just shocked because I'm done taking it."

He grabbed her hand again. "Baby, if we just sit down, we can talk this out."

She jerked away. "Don't touch me, not ever again. You made me feel like sh##! I mean who tells their wife, that he has lunch plans with his ex?!"

Adam's eyes are pleading. "Chelsea, It was nothing. I just went to check on her."

"Well, now you can do it whenever you want. Oh but wait, you've been doing that anyway." She moved her hair behind her ears, and looked into his eyes. Tears threatening to spill over. "I loved you Adam. I really did. And I thought you loved me. But it turns out you didn't. You treated me like a nobody, who should be grateful to land someone like you. I didn't need this house, the money, or anything else. I just needed you. Which included your love and respect."

Adam's eyes are filled with rare emotion. "You have that...and more."

"Adam, please...just stop it. And you know what? After everything you've done, I still love you, and I'll hurt for awhile. But one day I won't." Tears spilled onto her cheeks. "You broke my heart."

He tried to move closer.

She held up her hand. "Don't. Let Sharon know you're free. Goodbye Adam."

She turned and walked out of the door...
