Chapter 2

I wake up to Daniel and Madison climbing into my bed. My baby girl curls into my side, and my boy, talkative as always asks, "Mommy, do we have to go to Auntie Christina's house?" He crosses his arms, and pouts for emphasis.

"I'm sorry baby, but I have to take care of some stuff today. But, I promise that when I'm done we can all go out to eat."

"Why can't Daddy just watch us?" I tense up at his question, and answer slowly, "Honey, Daddy's not here right now. He's going on an adventure by himself, but you'll get to visit him soon." He looks confused, but eventually nods. I tell them to go upstairs and change into the clothes I laid out for them. They run upstairs, and I take a shower before getting ready. I change into a pair of black, skinny jeans, a white shirt with a grey cardigan, and a pair of black combat boots. I walk out into the living room, and find the kids waiting for me. We hop into the family car, and I drive them to Christina's. As soon as we arrive, Dylan jumps out of the car and rushes inside. I laugh to myself, knowing he's got a huge crush on Christina's daughter; Cassidy. The others, and I follow behind him. I walk up to where Chris is waiting by the door, and pull her into a hug whispering a soft thanks. She hugs me tighter in response, before letting me go. I walk back to my car, after telling the kids to behave themselves. I drive to the café, and see Tobias' car already parked. After parking, I sit for a minute to collect m thoughts before walking into the café. Tobias is sitting at a table in the corner, and I slowly make my way over to him. He smiles warmly, yet nervously at me and even though I am beyond pissed at him, his smile makes me feel a little better. I sit down, and right away he says, "I think you're making a mistake Tris,-" I cut him off with a glare and harshly say, "A mistake? You lied to me... I think I'm making the best decision possible." He look hurt by my words, but I feel no sympathy.

"Tris, I've apologized and I don't know what else you want me to do!"

"I want you to explain why you cheated on me!" I exclaim, already coming close to tears.

"Tris…Zeke and I went out, and I got really drunk. I'm sorry, please forgive me."

"Where did you guys go?"

"…We went to a club, it was us and a group of people from work."

"Who? Who was with you two?" He goes silent, but quickly answers when he sees my glare.

"David, Matthew, Cara, Fernando, Lauren, and um Nita…"

"Nita? Is she the one?"

"Tris, I'm so sorry-" With tears streaming down my face, I cut him off yelling, "NO! Stop saying you're sorry, because it doesn't make anything better. Not even the fact that you cheated on me, but you were drunk at a club! GROW UP, TOBIAS! I'm 36 and you are 38, we have 5 children to take care of, and you think it's okay to go out to the club and get drunk?! Actually, you know what? I'm sorry Tobias, I'm sorry I wasn't good enough for you. I'm sorry our family wasn't good enough for you! I wish things were different, and I wish you hadn't done this…but if you're happy, then okay. If you're happy with going to the club, getting drunk, and cheating on me as if you don't have a wife and kids, then I guess you'll be just fine without us!" I start to walk away, but he grabs my arm, and says, "You make me happy, our family makes me happy, Tris. Nita was a mistake, and I'm so sorry. Please Tris…don't do this to me."

"I'm doing this to you? No, you did this to yourself Tobias, and if we made you so happy, then why did you do this to us?" I yank my arm away from him, and storm out of the little café, all eyes on me. Slamming the door on my car, I drive to Christina's house. I arrive in record time, and march my way into her house. Christina opens the door, dressed and the rest are standing behind her ready to go. My youngest Daniel sees my tears, and runs to me.

"Mommy, don't cry! I love you." My heat breaks at the sound of his confused voice, and I shakily say, "I love you too Danny, and don't worry I'm going to be ok. Now, let's go, I'm starving!" I laugh a little and hop into my car with my kids, and Christina and her family gets in their car. We head to a nice steakhouse, and sit at a table for 11. Christina, Will, and I all sit at one end of the table together, and the kids sit at the other end. Along with me and my kids, Chris and Will's kids are here; 14 year old Cassidy, 11 year old Courtney, and 6 year old Christian. As the kids fall into their own little conversations, Christina and Will begin to interrogate me about what happened with Tobias. Well, it's mostly Christina asking the questions, but Will listens intently. I answer them with as much detail as possible, but I'm left speechless when Christina asks what's going to happen now.

"To be completely honest, I don't know…I keep wishing this was all a dream, and that tomorrow I'll wake up with him still by my side. But, I know that's never going to happen, and I know we need to get a divorce. But, I just can't…I'm not ready to let him go, I love him and it feels like I'll never stop." They look at me with pity and understanding. I usually hate it when people give me pity looks, but right now I don't mind. I wouldn't mind if a lot of things happened right now, like let's say the world ended. I wouldn't care, because right now my world is crashing right in front of me…and there's nothing I can do about it. Everything is spiraling out of control, like a tornado, and I don't know what to do. Everything has gone wrong, and I don't know why. It's like I'm trapped in my own little world, and it feels like that world is slowly being destroyed…and I don't know how to stop it.

Author's Note: Hope you guys liked it…I know I did! So, I just posted the pictures of the kids on my profile, and hopefully by the time this uploads you'll be able to see them.
