This is from Lizzie's point of view. It's set in the future when she and all her friends are twenty-eight. They seem to have the perfect life, but then Gordo starts to get in the way a little bit and saves Lizzie from her marriage.
I stared at Ethan in disbelief. Was it really true? After five perfect years was it really over? "Ethan what happened? I'm so confused," I told him.
"Lizzie, it's a long story. It's not really something I can explain. You wouldn't understand," Ethan replied.
"Wouldn't understand!" I exclaimed. "Ethan, I'm your wife. There's nothing I wouldn't understand. The only thing I'm having trouble comprehending is why you don't love me anymore."
"I still love you, Lizzie. It's just in a different way. I love you, but I can't be with you anymore. I'm doing this for you," he replied.
"Well can't you at least stay for Adrienne. Don't you think she deserves to have her father around?" I protested.
"I'll always be a part of Adrienne's life, and yours. This arrangement just has to change."
I started to cry and Ethan said, "Lizzie, don't do this."
"Do what?" I yelled. "You're the one leaving me!"
"I'm not leaving you, there's just circumstances where I can't be with you anymore," he explained.
"Well, tell me about it," I begged. I needed to know what had happened, where we went wrong. Ethan broke down and explained it to me. There was someone else. I couldn't believe it. Ethan had cheated on me, and with my best friend. I couldn't believe I'd been betrayed by them, by both of them.
"Get out," I yelled. "Get out! I don't want to see you again!"
Ethan left and I sat on the couch crying. I'd just lost my husband and my best friend in a single moment. I'd never be able to trust either one of them again.
Please review and tell me if you'd like to hear more. There's going to be a big twist in the next chapter.
