Please Read and Review this story. Sorry for the short chapter.
"Mommy," Vanessa said quietly as we crossed the border, leaving New York.
"Yes, sweetie," I said.
"Why are we leaving?"
"Because, honey, Mommy needs some time to think," I said.
"Where are we going?"
"Back to my hometown. Do you want to see Granny and Grandpa?"
She nodded and fell back to sleep.
It was four in the morning when I finally arrived at Mom and Simpson's house. I left the kids in the car as I rang the doorbell.
Mom opened the door sleepily, took one look at me and knew what had happened. She carried Brock in as I picked Vanessa up. She woke up Snake and tucked the kids into her bed.
"Mom," I said, almost crying. "I can't believe he did this to me."
"I'm so sorry, honey," she said, putting her arms around me.
"He was having an affair...for four years, Mom...since Brock was born!" I said, crying into her arms.
"Sh, sh," she said calmingly. "It's alright, I'm glad you came home."
"I want a divorce, mom," I said. "I'm getting a divorce and I'll clean him of every penny he has. We'll see how much 'Sylvia' wants him then!"
The next day, Mom agreed to watch the kids, while I tried to find a job. I didn't have any luck. In fact, the only place that was hiring was the Auto Mechanics Shop. Like I really wanted to work there, but they were asking for a secretary. I pulled into the driveway of the Auto Mechanics Shop and walked into the garage.
"Excuse me," I called.
"Coming!" I heard a guy say. He was under the hood of a car, working on it. He came out, wiping his hands on a dirty rag. He was tall, muscular, but lean, and shirtless. He looked really familiar, too. "Can I help you?"
"Yeah, I'm here replying to the ad I saw in the newspaper," I said.
"Okay, follow me," he said.
"Sean?" I asked, finally realizing who he was.
"Yeah, that's my name," he said.
I laughed. "No, that's not what I mean...I'm Emma, remember? From DCS?"
"Emma? What brought you back here?" he asked. "It's really good to see you again."
"It's good to see you too. Let's just say that things aren't going great for me and I really need this job."
"Alright, since you're an old friend, I'll give you the job. No questions asked."
"Thank you so much!" I said hugging him impulsively.
