Chapter 2

Work went by too slow for Lana. She only worked five and a half hours but damn, it could've went faster.

Sami was off wrestling for some independent wrestling gig , where he was apart of a group called Switchblade Conspiracy. Sounds like some shit he would do, too.

Soon, Lana was more than happy to punch out and leave work once four o'clock came.

'I can finally lay down,' Lana thought to herself as she got into her car.

Once Lana got home, she noticed that there was another car in their driveway. Sami usually got a ride with his other friends, so he must've invited one of them over.

Or so she thought.

Lana entered the trailer and heard a moan coming from her bedroom. Right then and there, Lana became both saddened and enraged. She made her way down the hall to the room and opened the door. Her suspicions were true indeed.

There was Sami, in the bed with another woman, fucking the daylights out of her. Sami stopped fucking the woman and slowly look behind him to find Lana standing in the doorway, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

"Babe, it's not what it looks like-" Sami started to explain.

"Shut the fuck up you asshole," Lana choked out. She left the room and went back outside. She pulled out her cell phone and called for her sister to come pick her up.

Sami came running outside after Lana.

"Lana! Please, let me explain!"

Lana turned around and slapped the shit out of Sami, making him almost fall.

"I don't want to hear what the fuck you have to say! I've put up with your shit for two years now. All you do is cheat and lie, and I'm fucking sick of it!" Lana spatted.

"Baby, you KNOW I love you," Sami said.

"Save it, dickweed," Lana snapped back at Sami.

Ten minutes later, Lana's sister Caroline showed up. Lana didn't bother to pack anything from the trailer because she already had the things she needed at her sister's house just in case she needed time away from Sami. Lana got into the car with Caroline and the two drove off.

"Can you please take me to Cold Stone so that I can get some ice cream? Sami cheated on me again," Lana said.

"Alright," Caroline said. "Why are you with him anyway, Lana? You KNOW he's no good for you. WHY do you even put up with him? I'm not trying to scold you in anyway, but c'mon! You're waaay smarter than that!"

Lana looked straight ahead out of the passenger window, at the trees whisking by. "I honestly don't know, Carol. It's like he has some type of hold on me. Maybe I'm stupid, a pushover, or desperate."

"You can't keep doing this to yourself, L. You're going to have to let him go and move on one of these days," Caroline said.

Lana remained silent the entire way to Cold Stone and to Caroline's house. Lana went into her room, turned on cartoons, and laid down. She put her phone on the charger and settled into the bed. No more than twenty minutes later, her phone was dinging every two minutes. She looked over and saw it was Sami, trying oh so hard to explain himself. Lana picked up her phone and read:

"Babe, I'm so sorry for what I did. I was just drunk and having fun is all! The hooker is gone now. Please, come back home. I miss you. :-("

Right then and there, Lana wanted to chuck her phone out of the window. HOOKER? JUST DRUNK AND HAVING FUN? What kind of bullshit excuse is that?

Lana turned her phone off and continued eating her ice cream. She knew that she would have to go home tomorrow and face Sami again.

'Fuck', Lana thought to herself.

Soon after, she drifted to sleep, but not before crying herself to sleep once again.
