Chapter 9: It's the Gay Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Will was still in a good mood when he opened the door the get the paper. He saw Karen standing in front of the elevator doors. "Hey Kare" he said. She didn't answer. She didn't even turn to him. "Karen?" he walked up to her this time. He put his hand on her shoulder.
"The doors already opened three times." She said quietly
"Then why are you still here."
Karen turned to Will with tears in her eyes. "Will, I left him."
Will pulled her into a hug. "I thought…I thought you were happy."
"He cheated on me…for months."
"Oh Karen…I…I"
"You don't have to say anything."
Will directed her into his apartment. "He doesn't deserve you." He said as the sat on the couch.
"Or I wasn't good enough for him."
"Don't say that."
"Maybe I should." She snapped. "This is my third failed marriage. Maybe I'm just not supposed to be happy." She said quietly.
Will hated seeing Karen like this. It wasn't right. She wasn't supposed to show or feel emotion. How could Stan do this to her? "You were to good for him." Will assured her. "You will move on and be happy. His little tramp will be gone and he will regret the day he thought about cheating on you."
Karen stood up. "Thanks will, but I got to go." She went to the door and was about to open it when Will began to speak.
"Where are you going to go?"
Karen wiped the tears from her face and made it go emotionless before turning to Will. "I'll be fine."
Will watched her go. He hated seeing her like this. "The walls are back up." He whispered.
