Chapter 1: drinking to forget
"Hey, I'm Kerry" said a stranger approaching him at the bar.
"You don't need to know my name."he replied uninterested.
"No need to be rude, why are you drinking alone? Women trouble?" She asked nosily.
"None of your business. What brings you here to bother me?" he asked curiously.
"Well, unlike you, I'll tell you. After six years of marriage, seven miscarriages,and daily ridicule my husband decided to leave me for my best friend. So I'm here drowning my sorrows and hoping tomorrow doesn't come." she replied on the verge of tears.
"It will, the world doesn't stop because you are in a little bit of pain. If your husband was an ass why in the world did you stay with him." .
"I was something of a child prodigy and my parents could stand the fact that I was pretty or social like my older sister, so I was mostly ignored until my father needed a punching bag when mum or sister pissed him off. When I met my husband I was 18 and had already had a PhD and was a a few months from becoming an intern at a hospital. He swept me off my feet and before I knew it we were married and he wanted kids." she tried to explain.
"So y'all had the perfect marriage?" he asked mockingly
"After the first miscarriage he was loving and supporting, by the second and third he was very hurtful and mean. Our whole marriage centered around me getting pregnant. Ill admit that the sex was ok but in his quest to have an heir it was painful and I began dreading bedtime."
"You still haven't told me why you stayed."
"Because he made me fell important. Pathetic I know." she replied crying earnestly.
"Very, but we all have our vices."
"So why are you here drinking?" she asked while drying her tears and ordering another round of bear for them.
"I told a friend she would make a terrible mother when in fact I know she would make a great mother. Seeing those tears and the anguish I caused her I just wanted to forget they slipped out of my mouth. So I am drinking my sorrow away and hoping to forget." he replied while thinking about how he would make it up to her.
"I'll second that, here's to drinking to forget." they both raised their glasses and continued to joke and drink. Before either knew it they where making out which lead to clothes disappearing and unprotected sex with a stranger.
Upon waking the next morning alone she realized that she never did get his name. As she buried her head in the pillow crying because in all of her years of marriage her husband never showed as much attention to making sure the sex was as good as that she received from a complete stranger.
Having woke and found a strange woman on his arm he quietly crept out of her apartment with a feeling that this night would come back and haunt him.
