Chapter 5
Annie couldn't stand for anymore. She ran out of Chandler's office. Chandler tried to get her, but she was too fast for him. He decided that the best thing to do was to call Eric. Chandler picked up the phone and dialed Eric's cell phone. It must have rang three or four times before he picked up. Chandler heard some giggling on the other end of the phone line. It sounded like a women. "Eric, it's Chandler. Annie was just here crying up a storm. Maybe you should go home and try to talk to her. I think she might need you." Eric looked at his watch. "Do I have to go now?" I am in the middle of something important." Chandler couldn't believe what Eric was saying. Chandler knew that Eric was not doing anything important. He just didn't want to leave the girl that Chandler heard in the background. Eric agreed t go home and find Annie. As soon as Eric hung-up his cell phone he looked at Betty. "I'm sorry honey, but I have to go and take care of some church stuff." Eric knew that he wasn't going to the church, but he didn't want Betty to know what was going on. Eric rushed home and found Annie sitting at the kitchen table holding her face in her arms.
"What is the matter Annie?" asked Eric. "WHAT IS THE MATTER? WHAT IS THE MATTER? I can't believe that you are asking me that question. You want a divorce, and Ruthie is smoking and probably doing other things that I don't even want to think about right now. Also I think we need to talk. I really need you to listen to what I am about to tell you. It might hurt you, but I need to tell you?" Eric looked confused and interested in what Annie was going to tell him. They had never hid secrets from each other. They were always straight and forward on everything. Eric sat down across the table from Annie. Annie had his full attention. "9 months before Sam and David were born I had a one-night stand with this guy that I met at the pool hall. His name was Tom. I am pretty sure that Sam and David are not yours. I am sorry that I never told you that before. I was just so scared. It was when we were fighting, and I was stressed and needed to talk to someone. "Eric expression of confusion soon turned to anger. He was never so angry at Annie as he was now. "I can't believe that you would do something like that to me. You kept that a secret, letting me think that Sam and David were my sons. What am I supposed to tell them now? I love them so much. I can't believe that you would to this to me, and you get mad at me for cheating." Eric walked out of the house madder than ever had been.
