Chapter 7: Break-up Without Make-up
Maria´s POV:
I went home that afternoon with the twins and felt even more hopeless now. There was nothing I could do.
Dougie was standing in the doorway as I was putting the twins in their cribs. I knew he could sense that something wasn´t right.
"Dougie, can we talk?" I asked when I´d closed the door to the nursery and walked into the living room with him.
"What´s wrong?" Dougie asked worriedly.I sighed. How could I do this?
"This is for your own best," I said and looked down taking another deep breath. He looked so confused right now, I just knew without looking up.
"I have to end this," I said and tried my best not to look up. I knew my heart would get broken.
"What? Why?" I heard Dougie´s voice gets louder and louder.
"I have done some terrible things," I didn´t know how to say this but I knew I had to do it.
"It can´t be that bad," Dougie said and I knew he was trying to optimistic.
"I cheated on you," I whispered and felt my heart fall as I said the words. I was such a terrible person.
"What?" Dougie asked and I didn´t know if it was because he hadn´t heard what I´d said or if it was his reaction to what I´d said.
"I cheated on you," I said a little louder.
"I´m sure you didn´t mean to," he said and was frustrated at his ability to be such an optimist.
"DOUG, IT´S OVER!" I yelled frustrated and immediately regretted looking up at him. His eyes were sad and you could see the hurt. His face fell as soon as the words had sunken in.
"You, you can´t just leave," he said reminding me of my responsibility here.
"I´d never become a good mother or wife anyway. My heart is cold as stone," I said and knew that Dougie was going to object.
"DON`T try to convince me to stay. I´ve already made up my mind," I said and heard a soft whimper coming from the nursery. I sighed.
"I´ll pack some stuff and be out of your way by tomorrow," I told him before walking into the nursery again. I looked at Anna who was lying awake in her crib. She was whimpering softly as if she knew what just had happened.
"Everything will be okay. Daddy will take good care of you two," I said and felt the tears as they ran down my cheeks. I looked at Chris who was asleep in the other crib.
"My miracles," I whispered and kissed both of their foreheads. I walked past Dougie in the doorway and walked into the bedroom. I got a pillow and a blanket from the bed and walked into the living room.
"You don´t have to do this," Dougie said and put a hand on top of mine as I was setting everything up to sleep on the couch.
"I do," I said and did what I´d been most afraid to do.
"Here, take this, give it to someone who really deserves you," I told him and took off my engagement ring.
I packed all my stuff from that flat, not leaving one single thing behind. Harry had bought a ticket for me to the U.S.A. He was the only one who was going to know where I was going. He drove me to the Heathrow airport and made me promise that I would call him when I got to California.
