"Single Turn, Lifes Regrets" Part 1
Bobby's POV
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I walked out off the office after closing the door and turning the lights.
I had just closed the door to a room that had been my life for the last 12
years. I walked into the hallway, my briefcase and my box full of things in
my hand. She was sitting on the bench by the elevator waiting for me. She
looked up and smiled, I couldn't help but smile back.
"You ready?" She asked.
"Yeah." She stood up and reached for the box in my hands.
"We'll put these in your car and we'll drive over to McAll's."
"Okay, we could bring separate cars." I didn't want to but I figured if
you're getting a divorce you wouldn't go out with your soon to be ex wife
let alone take the same car. But than again I've never had to deal with
what it's like to have an ex wife. Maybe after it was all finalized I'd
write a book about it.
"No, it's okay, I'll help you put these in your car and then I'll buy you a
drink."
"Okay." We got in the elevator and I watched her on the other side staring
at the little buttons. I could see the water in her eyes, was she crying?
No, this is what she wanted, she wanted this, not me. I cleared my throat
and she turned to me and smiled. A fake smile, I know her, I know when she
means her actions. That was fake.
"You okay?" She didn't speak, she just nodded her head. The elevator
reached the parking lot and we walked out to my car. We put everything in
and we walked to her car. We got in and drove to McAll's in silence. I
shouldn't have agreed to this, what are we supposed to talk about? Our son.
The only thing we could talk about comfortably. "How's Little Bobby?" I
asked quietly.
"Not that great. It's hard for him, he doesn't know what's happening, the
only thing he keeps saying to me is why did daddy hurt you." She was a
little harsh answering me. Okay new subject. "I think we need to both sit
down and talk to him." I nodded but then figured she was driving and
couldn't see me.
"Okay." More silence, why can't I ever think of something to say? "When?"
Smart one Donnell.
"Soon, maybe if you came over tomorrow."
"Okay, you're at your mom's still?"
"Yeah, I'm looking around I think I've found a nice apartment close to you
so he can go over and see you." God, if only I could tell him that was only
part of my reason, the other reason being I want to be as close to him as I
could. No, Lindsay, no he cheated on you, he wanted out not you.
"Oh, well, I can help you with the moving if you want."
"Thanks, that would be nice." We finally made it to McAll's and sat in a
booth in the back corner away from the noise. We both ordered beers.
"So..."
"Yeah, so..."
"Look, Lindsay, I have no idea what I'm supposed to talk about because I've
never really been in this position before."
"Yeah. Me either." We both laughed. It was good to see her laugh again. We
managed to find some little talk because we were still there 3 drinks
later. I wasn't drunk but Lindsay was bordering between drunk and sober.
She wasn't used to drinking like that since the baby and honestly I wasn't
used to seeing her like this.
"Come Linds, let me get you home."
"Okay. But I'm paying. I told you I buy drink." She kind of slurred her
words and I couldn't help but laugh at her. I drove her home to her
mother's and helped her quietly up the stairs. I waited for her to undress
and tucked her into bed.
"Lindsay, I'm going to take your car and I'll come pick you up tomorrow and
we can go to the office and get mine okay?" She just nodded at me, I knew
she probably had no clue what I was saying. "Goodnight sweetie." I kissed
her head.
"Night." I walked out her bedroom and saw the opened door in the next room.
I could see my son fast asleep tucked in bed. It brought tears to my eyes
to see what I was doing to my family. I walked in there and looked at him
for a few minutes before telling him I loved him and walking out again. I
would have given him a kiss but I didn't want to wake him. I walked down to
Lindsay's car and drove off to our apartment. No, I had to stop it wasn't
our apartment anymore it was mine, I screwed this up and now it was only
me, I was alone. I pulled up in front of my apartment. And looked up at the
building. I couldn't go in there, there were too many memories. I started
the car again and drove towards my father's house. I knew I didn't want to
be bombarded with questions about what I did wrong or how I had to change
things or anything else, but I knew I couldn't stay alone in my apartment.
I walked up to the front door and knocked lightly. I saw my father opening
the door, he looked shocked. I hadn't seen my father the last couple weeks
because of what was happening to my marriage.
"Son?"
"Hey dad, I know it's late but do you think I could stay here tonight?"
"Of course you can, where is Lindsay and the baby?"
"Well, dad, you see." This was going to be so hard. My father had accepted
Lindsay into our home and acted as if she really were his daughter.
"Why don't we talk inside." I walked in and we went to the living room and
sat on the sofa. "Now what's wrong?"
"Lindsay and I have been separated for the last 2 weeks or so and then last
night she told me she wanted a divorce." I looked at dad and it looked like
he had glassy eyes. Just saying it made me tear up.
"Come again son?"
"She's filed for divorce."
"What? Why, why?" His voice was shaky.
"Because I cheated on her dad." Then he looked at me and I saw angry.
"I'm sorry Bobby but I can't let you stay here tonight." I looked up
shocked that was not what I expected.
"What?"
"I don't see how you could hurt such a woman like Lindsay, you have a son.
just, I can't let you stay here....tonight." I nodded and walked to the
door.
"I'm sorry dad."
"Well, you need to go to your wife and you need to apologize and save this
marriage." I nodded again. I knew I had to but I didn't have the first idea
how. So I asked my father something I never thought I would.
"How?" He looked at me.
"I can't tell you how, it has to come from you Bobby, you made the mess up
it has to come from you. But tell her how much she means to her and how
much you love her, tell her how much her and your son means to you." I
smiled a little.
"Thanks dad."
"Don't thank me for anything. Now go." I walked out the door and drove to
Lindsay's mother's house again. I sat in the car parked by her house for 2
hours. I couldn't go in there I didn't have the courage. I was scared. I
was going to have to be there in the morning to pick Lindsay up. I drove
home and slept on the bed in the spare bedroom. I couldn't sleep in our
room, in our bed. No in my room, in my bed. I couldn't get used to it, I
knew I couldn't and I didn't want to have to, determined I got up and drove
back to her, I know Bobby make up your damn mind, I just couldn't I had to
see her, I had to tell her how much she meant to me. I wouldn't be able to
lay my head down on a pillow until I did. I pulled into her mother's
driveway and parked her car. I got out and walked up the stairs to the
front of her home. Her home, she didn't live with me anymore. Instead of
being at home with her husband, with ME she was forced to live with her
mother. Kids live with their mother's not grown adults who are married. It
wasn't til I was at the door I realized I was wearing my navy blue pajamas,
Lindsay's favoirte. Oh well, she's my wx-wife. EX-wife. I walked up to the
door, my knees were so weak. I reached my hand out and knocked lightly on
the door. I waited five minutes; nothing. I knocked lightly again, I heard
footsteps and the lock on the door clicked and I saw the door open a crack.
I looked up and saw an angel. Gone were the pajamas I had changed her into
earlier and gone was the tipsy Lindsay. Instead she was wearing my BU t-
shirt and flannel boxers. Her hair pulled into a loose pony tail with
strands capturing her beautiful angelic face. She never looked more
beautiful to me.
End of Part 1. I know it was short but I could have kept going and not know
where to stop, so I ended it here and I'm doing part 2 right now. Feedback
PLEASE!!!!
