A month had passed since Brie and John had lost the twins. Brie had gone back to work just two weeks after. There relationship had changed dramatically. They barely spoke to each other. It was like they were two different people now. They were at home. Brie was in the living room. John was in the kitchen. He came into the living room.
"Want some dinner?" He asked.
"No I'm not hungry."
"You have to eat something."
"I will." "Later."
"Brie I'm worried-
"John leave me alone ok?!" She snapped.
"Fine." He started to walk away then stopped. "I love you."
"I know." "I love you too but that's not enough to make me happy right now."
"You're not happy?"
"No I'm not." "Are you?"
"No."
"That's what I figured." She went upstairs.
Two hours had passed and she still hadn't come back down. John went upstairs. The door to what was going to be the nursery was cracked open. John looked in and saw Brie sitting on the floor holding two teddy bears they'd bought for the girls. She was crying. John went back downstairs.
The next day they got on a plane to Chicago. Later that night after the show Brie went down to the lobby bar in the hotel. John went up to the room. Brie just kept drinking drink after drink after drink.
The next morning went Brie woke up her head was pounding. She opened her eyes and didn't recognize the room she was in. She lifted the sheet she was covered with and saw that she was naked. She quickly got up and started gathering her clothes and putting them on. As she was putting her shirt on the bathroom door opened. She was surprised at who she saw.
"Daniel." She said shocked.
"Hi Brie."
"Did we?"
"Yeah."
"I'm having trouble remembering."
"I didn't remember either till I woke up this morning." "I was drunk to." "I'm sorry." "I know you're with John now."
"I have to go."
"Bye."
"Bye."
As Brie was walking back to her room she started to remember sleeping with Daniel. As soon as she walked into her room she saw John sitting on the couch.
"Where were you all night?" John asked. He wasn't angry. He seemed content.
"I want to be honest." She said going and sitting next to him. "I slept with Daniel last night." "I was drunk and I barely remember it." "I know that's no excuse."
"Well I can't get to mad at you." "Your head's fuck up right now and so is mine." "Brie do you still want to be with me?"
"I don't know what I want anymore John."
"Neither do I."
"What are we saying?" "It's over?"
"I think so." "We're not happy with each other anymore."
"Ok." "Then, I guess we're over."
"Yeah I guess so." "I'm gonna sell the house." "I still have my other place." "You can have all the money from the sale."
"I'm sorry it didn't work out."
"Me to." "Part of me will always love you."
"I'll always remember the good times."
"I'm gonna change rooms." He got his stuff and left. Brie started to cry.
Later that night Brie was at the arena. She'd just got done telling Stephanie that she thought she'd come back to soon and was granted an extended-leave.
