Chapter 4

Sharon stood angrily in front of Andy, still looking at the message in the phone in surprise. Sharon was so angry that the only thing she wanted to know was who is Amelia, actually. She was grateful that Nicole and Rusty aren't with them in this situation.

Andy was still looking at the message in his phone when suddenly Sharon grabbed his phone and threw it on the couch. Sharon stood in front of him more angry than ever. Andy looked at her coldly, not knowing what to say. Sharon took a deep breath to calm herself.

"Andy, I expect an answer. Who is Amelia? Who is this woman?" she asked angrily and swallowed the lump in her throat. She couldn't believe what was happening. Just when she thought that she and Andy can be happy together again as before, a new problem had appeared. A problem which, perhaps, will break their relationship forever.

Andy stood in front of Sharon, looking at her sadly. He didn't know what to say. He hated himself for that mistake that he never should have done. And now he knew that when Sharon learned the truth, her heart not bear this pain and another blow.

"Sharon, I ..." he tried to explain, but it was not easy. Sharon felt that her patience ends.

"Do you really think you can explain all this?" Sharon yelled. She couldn't bear another shot from Andy. Andy shrugged innocently. He didn't really know that Amelia is pregnant. But who was actually Amelia? It was Sharon's question.

Sharon sat on the couch and thought. Her hands were shaking. Yes, she knew that Andy cheated on her with another woman, but she didn't know her name. She looked at Andy, who didn't know how to tell her the truth. She took his hand heavily and looked into his brown eyes. In these eyes that she believed sincerely. In these eyes that lied to her again.

"Tell me the truth. At least now, don't lie to me. Don't lie to me in the eye. I just want the truth. Please, Andy. Whatever happens, tell me the truth, right now, in this moment. Who is Amelia?" she demanded, ready to learn the bitter truth, whatever happens. Andy looked at her sadly, his eyes filled with tears. He never would have thought that a mistake for one night, will fail his whole life.

He sat beside her and looked into her bright green eyes that there was only pain. He was hurt her enough, he couldn't ask for another chance, knowing that after Sharon learned the truth, everything will be over. But he felt fear. He didn't want to lose her. He took a deep breath, wondering where to start.

"Sharon, I'm sorry. I hurt you very much. I know I'm guilty. But I swear that I didn't know that Amelia is pregnant." He spoke with difficulty the words. Sharon looked at him with even more anger.

"Shut up! Andy, this isn't the answer to my question. I haven't asked you whether you know about this pregnancy. I asked who is Amelia? Who is she?" she shouted, expecting an answer that this time will be correct. Andy squeezed her hand, but Sharon pulled away.

"Sharon, Amelia is ... She's ... -''

"The woman that you cheated on me, right?" Sharon broke sharply and angrily. Andy nodded and shook his head. He wouldn't talk about that again, after weeks they were happy. But now, after this announcement, Sharon would never believe him again.

Sharon closed her eyes and tears streamed down her cheeks, silently. She couldn't believe that Andy has done that. Andy, the man whom she loves, was cheating on her with another woman. And besides all this, she was pregnant with his child. Yes, she had experienced many difficulties with Jack, but he never cheated on her.

She stood up and looked coldly to Andy, wiping her tears. Andy stood before her. He wanted to hug her, but he knew that no one can change the truth. He was in shock, since he knew that the woman with whom he was once, is now pregnant with his child. But how would this be possible? He remembered everything, he wasn't drunk. "How Amelia got pregnant?" That was the question in their heads. Suddenly, Sharon began to clap ironically.

"Well done, Andy Flynn! Great show! You're great at lying. And yet, you keep lying to me in the eye. Without any shame, you keep! Bravo!" she said sarcastically. Andy could feel the pain behind her words. He walked over to her.

"Sharon, please. Stop. That's not true. I don't know how Amelia is pregnant." Sharon laughed loudly.

"I can't believe it. You don't know how Amelia, your mistress is pregnant? Don't be Cenic."

"Sharon, I beg you, trust me. It was a mistake for one night. I never imagined that this could happen. And I still have doubts that she is pregnant, especially with my child! Sharon, I love you." he said and swallowed the lump in his throat. Sharon looked at him this time sadly. Is he telling the truth? But she could no longer trust him.

"I'm sorry, Andy. But everything that I experienced ... I already can't believe you. And if you want to know the truth, you lose my trust forever." She said firmly and took her purse. Andy quickly took her hand.

"Sharon, I can't live without you. I'm convinced that Amelia was lying. That can't be true." Sharon turned to him and nodded slightly.

"Maybe you're right. But, Andy, you think at least once, if I can forget your infidelity? No, I can't. I tried to be with you again because I loved you and still love you and will keep love you. But ... I can't stand it, I'm sorry. I can't continue this relationship anymore."

"Sharon, listen to me. I don't want to lose, I can't live without you. Please. Don't leave me. If you leave, my life loses meaning. I can't live without you. I beg you. I don't want our relationship to end." he pleaded, but Sharon had decided long ago.

"You know Andy, everything loses meaning. This relationship, the relationship between us ... everything ... And our relationship ended long ago." she said sternly.

"What do you mean? Sharon, I love you." he said sadly, as if at any moment can cry.

"It's over. I can't go that way." she said and left.

Andy sat on the couch thoughtfully. What happened now? Why he and Sharon couldn't be together? Why did he make this mistake? How Amelia could be pregnant? All this was good reason for Sharon to leave him. She was right. He had hurt her more than Jack and right now, at this moment, he felt like an idiot. He felt that his life loses meaning. Because the meaning of his life was Sharon and now she wasn't with him. And he knew that nothing would be the same.

On the other hand, Nicole and Rusty still knew nothing, had returned home. Seeing her father, Nicole was surprised while Rusty looked around, but his mother wasn't there. Nicole and Rusty looked at each other and shrugged. Nicole sat down beside her father and squeezed his shoulder.

"Dad, are you okay? Where's Sharon?" she asked, looking around. Andy took a deep breath and replied softly, "She left. And never come back." Nicole and Rusty was surprised even more.

"Hey, wait a minute. What do you mean?" Rusty asked anxiously. Andy shook his head.

"This morning, something happened that we didn't expect. ''

"Dad, you're scaring me." Nicole admitted. Andy picked up the phone and continued, "Amelia, the woman with whom I was once, sent me a message which says that she's pregnant." Rusty's eyes widened. Nicole fell into shock. She couldn't find the words to tell him something.

"What ? How can this happen? How could she ... no, this woman is lying, this can't be true Dad!" Nicole shouted. Andy sighed wearily.

"I didn't know that this mistake I made only once can change my life. '"

"No, Andy, this can't be true." Rusty protested.

"But Sharon doesn't believe me. She left me and she's right. I betrayed her and also that woman is pregnant." He shrugged and put his hands on his face.

"Dad, whatever happens, I'm convinced that you're right. I know that this woman isn't pregnant. Yes, you made a mistake, but nevertheless, she's lying. Trust me." she encouraged her father. Rusty looked at the message in the phone and the missed calls.

"I just want to be alone. I need it." Andy said quietly and walked to his room. Rusty handed the phone to Nicole.

"Nicole, I want to go home. I want to be with Mom at this time." Nicole nodded, looking at her father's room.

"I know it will be difficult, but we'll prove this truth at any cost. ''

"I hope." said Rusty and left. Nicole sat on the couch thoughtfully.

Sharon sat on the couch in the living room and talked with her best friend Andrea. Only she could calm her.

"Sharon, calm down. Everything will be all right. '"

"No, Andrea. Nothing will be fine. I wanted to be with Andy again, but when I learned that Amelia is pregnant, I ...- ''

"Sharon, we're not sure. She could be lying. Why didn't you listen to Andy?" Sharon sighed wearily.

"I don't know, Andrea, I don't want to think more. I think I need some sleep. I want to forget everything for a little while."

"Of course. Sharon, be careful." they closed the phone. Sharon fell asleep as soon as put her head on the pillow. Once Rusty returned, he smiled slightly, seeing his mother sleeping and is now more relaxed. He went to his room quietly, not wanting to wake her.

Tonight, Andy couldn't sleep. He really needed to share this with someone. He immediately realized that the right person is Provenza. He grabbed the phone and call him.

"Hello, Louie."

"Hey, Andy, your voice sounds weird. Is everything okay?" he asked concerned.

"No, nothing is fine. Please come to me. I need to talk to you."

"Well, I'll be there as soon as possible." Provenza assured him.

A few minutes later, Provenza arrived at the apartment. He immediately felt the smell of alcohol and looked closely at Andy.

"Don't tell me that you consumed alcohol again!" Andy rolled his eyes angrily.

"Of course not, but I'm afraid that this might happen soon." These words surprised Provenza. He really didn't know what was happening to his friend.

"Hey, wait a minute. You were happy with Sharon. What happened suddenly?" Andy sighed wearily and told him everything in detail, giving his phone to see the message. Provenza's eyes widened.

"No, how is this possible?"

"I said the same. But this woman says that the child is mine. I don't know Provenza. I don't know what to think. But you know. I love Sharon and I don't want to lose her." he confessed, his eyes filled with tears. Provenza turned his head and squeezed his shoulder.

"Calm down, Flynn. I know you made a big mistake, but I think that this woman is lying. You called Amelia? You should talk to this woman at all costs. You have to understand the truth." Andy nodded, thoughtfully.

"Yes, everyone thinks she's lying. But Provenza ... If this is true? What will happen? I'll lose Sharon forever."

"Don't talk so fatalistic. Everything will be all right, just wait." Andy wanted to believe his words, but it was not easy.

Sharon was awakened by the ringing of the phone. She rubbed her eyes and grabbed the phone in her hand.

"Hello?" she said sleepily.

"Sharon, how are you?" asked Fritz.

"Oh, Fritz! What a surprise! I can't believe it! I'm fine, how are you? How's Brenda? I hope everything's fine."

"It's all right, Sharon. Don't worry. I and Brenda are together again." he said happily. Sharon smiled.

"I am very glad for you. I want you to always be happy."

"Thanks Sharon. How is Andy? I hope that you too are together." Sharon sighed wearily.

"You know Fritz, nothnig between me and Andy, we just ... Our relationship ended, that's all. ''

"Oh, Sharon, I ... I'm sorry." Fritz said sadly.

"No, everything's fine. It is important that you and Brenda are happy together again. Let it be so."

When they finished with the conversation, Sharon got out of bed and walked to the kitchen. She needed a glass of white wine. She was grateful that Rusty is sleeping in his room. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. She looked at the clock. It was too late. She really hoped that it is not Andy. She cautiously opened the door, but to her surprise, there stood the woman with whom Andy had cheated on her. She knew her name. Amelia. The two women looked at one another in silence. Everything at this moment was pointless.
