Chapter 2: Heartbroken

Later on that day at work, Mickie thought about what her life had become and she gravely asked herself if she was happy. Besides her kids and the earlier years of her relationship with Randy-No, she wasn't.

"Where did it all go wrong? When did we start to fall apart?" Mickie asked herself as she spun around in her chair at her office.

With the stresses of everyday life, kids, bills, work and juggling a marriage all at the same time can take its toll on people. Mickie was determined more than ever now to address the situation and come up with a solution. She looked at the time and saw that it was time to go home. She quickly got her things together and placed them in her bag; ready to go home. When she got home from work she was surprised to see that Randy wasn't home once again.

"What the hell is going on?" Mickie asked herself, groaning. She walked into the living, dropping her bag on the couch.

"Kids, do you know where your daddy went?" Mickie asked, with her hands on her hips.

"No mommy, but he got a phone call from a lady and then he left." Ethan said, while coloring in his Spider-man coloring book.

"Yeah, and he said he'll be back mommy. " said Ava, the other twin who playing with her Barbie doll house.

"A phone call from a lady? Do you guys know who she was?" Mickie asked with concern.

"No mommy, when I answered the lady on the phone said her name was Kelly." Ethan looked up at his mother. "Mommy you like my coloring?"

"Yeah, baby I love it." Mickie half smiled then thought aloud to herself. "Kelly? I've never heard of a Kelly working at his place. I wonder who she is."

Mickie walked over to the phone to check the caller ID. Unfortunately the caller had their number blocked, Mickie let it slide since she wasn't in the mood to find out and play CSI at the moment.

"Ms. Garcia?" Mickie called as she sat on the couch next to the twins.

"Yes Mrs. Orton?" said Ms. Garcia as she strolled into the living room from the kitchen.

"Did you see Randy at all today?" Mickie asked.

"Yes, but briefly. He slept till about 2:30 in the afternoon and got dressed shortly after he received a phone call."

"Who was on the line?" Mickie quickly asked.

"Some woman named Kelly according to the twins." She shrugged.

"Ah okay, thanks" Mickie nodded her head slowly.

Mickie headed upstairs into her bedroom to use her phone in privacy. Even though it was her house, she didn't want Ms. Garcia knowing everything just yet, and also because she didn't want to be irate in front of her children. She called up Randy on her cell phone a couple of times with no response. After she hung up, two minutes later he called back.

"What is it?" Randy groaned over the other end of the line.

"Excuse me? So what, now I need a reason to call my husband?" Mickie sternly asked.

"No, but your blowing up my cell and I'm busy. Is there something wrong with the kids?"

"No, but.."

"Okay then, So I'll see you when I get home." Randy quickly cut her off before she could finish.

"Wait a minute, why are your rushing me off the phone Randy?"

"God, I just told you that I'm busy!" Click.

Before she knew it, Mickie was listening to the dial tone. She knew something wasn't right so she went downstairs to pull Ms. Garcia aside.

"Listen, I want you to feed the kids and tuck them in bed. I'm going out to meet up with Randy somewhere, so don't wait for us." Mickie insisted.

Ms. Garcia looked at her with worry. "Is everything okay Ms. Mickie?"

"Yes I told you I'm going out to see Randy. We wanted to spend some time alone. That's all." With that being said, Mickie walked out of the house and jumped into her Escalade, Randy had gotten her for her birthday a couple of months ago.

While driving, she activated her GPS system that was able to track his phone. It finally revealed the location; 34 McKleen Ave. To her surprise, the location was only fifteen minutes away from where they lived. Mickie started to think if she knew anyone in that area. No one came to mind. She drove into the block and spotted Randy's red Ferrari which was parked in front of a house. Right away, Mickie knew that he was at another woman's house. She didn't know if she should walk up to the house, ring the door bell and see what enfolds or if she should wait to see who emerges from the house.

"Maybe he's here to pick up something for work, that's all. He wouldn't cheat on me or anything...after all I am the mother of his kids." Mickie positively thought to herself, after taking a deep breath.

While Mickie sat in her car thinking, she heard the front door of the house swung open and voices coming from a man and woman echoed through the air. Mickie looked over to her left she saw her husband exiting out of the woman's house and just before he turned to walk towards his Ferrari, the female dressed in nothing but a silk robe grabbed him by the tie and drugged him in for a passionate kiss.

"Mhm, don't leave me." the blonde woman whined, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I have to babe, I need to go home" Eager to touch her lips, Randy quickly leaned forward, held her close to his chest to devour her mouth.

Mickie's heart sank into her stomach as she watched. Each second that passed as she watched the father of her children locking lips with another female not only burned her inside, but slowly killed her. Tears started to pour down her face as if it were a waterfall. She felt her chest starting to cave in as she gasped for air.

Through the half-rolled down window of her car, she was able to hear Randy conversing with the other woman.

"Love you and I'll come by tomorrow. Goodnight babe"

She let out a giggle and winked "Alright love and thanks for the pleasure."

Randy smirked as he pulled her in for another kiss. "Anytime baby."

"Mhm, now run home to your wife before that nagging bitch blows up your phone again."

The two enjoyed a good laugh at Mickie's expense. Not only was she physically sick, but her body had become numb and stiff after what she just heard and saw.

Randy then walked away from the blonde with a smile on his face. The only thought that was rushing through Mickie's head was to kill him. After six years of their relationship, two beautiful children and a home built by them; how could he have betrayed her like that? It's not like he wasn't getting sex because she made sure he was taken care of in that department. Mickie watched as Randy drove off, and stayed parked behind another car for the next two hours with tears trickling down her face continuously.

Thoughts and memories raced through her head during those two hours. Mickie was so out of it that she didn't even realize that her cell phone was ringing. When she finally escaped her trance, she noticed that it was now a little after six and that she had ten missed calls and four voice messages. All except for two were from him, Randy. Just seeing his name lit a fire in her soul that caused her to unknowingly throw her phone out the window.

"I hate you Randy." Mickie quickly wiped her tears and sped home.
