CHAPTER 12: Goodbye Love

June 15th 7pm Western Standard Time.

(At the casino)

Mark walked around filming everyone and everything, he saw slot machines, people playing poker, and a drunk man singing karaoke songs, he completely forgot about the magic show he and Mickey were suppose to take the kids to.

Mark: Ladies and gentlemen this is Sin City. As you see smokers are everywhere, but the place smells fresh, its weird I know. Close up on a 6 foot tall Elvis statue made out titanium….. A king indeed.

Mark looked at his watch and saw the what time it was.

"Shit."

When he turned around he accidentally bumped into Benny and Luke.

"Hey Dad!" Luke said excitingly.

"Hey Kiddo."

"What's up, Mark?" Benny asked.

"Hey, have you seen Mickey?"

"Yeah, after we went to the magic show…"

"I missed the show?" Mark said in a hurt voice.

"Yeah, Mickey and I took the kids." Benny said

"Oh." Mark said sadly. "Where is she?

"Mickey went to the room and Luke and I are going to the hot dog eating contest." Benny said. "Luke, why don't you go on and let Uncle Benny talk to your Dad."

"Ok."

"Mark, Where the hell were you?"

"I lost track of time."

"You could have told Mickey, she was pretty pissed when I dropped her off."

"Did you give her a kiss when you dropped her off?" Mark asked sarcastically.

"What the hell is your problem?"

"Your taking MY wife and kids places and trying to take my place."

"I'm just looking out for you." Benny said innocently.

"WHY DON'T STAY OUT OF MY BUSNESS?" Mark snapped.

Mark stormed off. Why did he just snap at Benny? That question was on his mind as he walked towards the hotel room. When he entered the room Mickey was packing her suit case.

"Where are you going?" Mark asked sitting the camera on the table.

"I'm getting another room."

"Why?"

"Why?" Mickey hissed. " I'll tell you why. You have done nothing but ignore me for the past few months and on this whole trip."

"No I haven't." Mark said defending himself.

"We haven't even had a conversation for more then a minute. Your always filming."

"Mickey.."

"I'm not saying I don't want you filming, but you could at least spend some time with your family, Mark."

"Honey, I'm sorry I missed the show." Mark said sadly.

"You didn't just miss the show….we were suppose to have breakfast together and you completely bailed out on me."

"I told you I wanted to get as much footage as I could get." Mark said.

"We're going to be here for a week." Mickey said.

Mickey headed for the door.

"Mickey baby, Come on…don't act like…"

"Act like what? A women who wants to spend sometime with her husband, but cant because he's more committed to his camera?"

"Who are you? Kate?." Mark snapped.

Mickey smacked him across the face and stormed out.

Mickey POV

I cant believe him. Who the fuck is he comparing me to that crazy dead bitch? What the hell was his problem? He had no right saying that. I walked as fast as could and stopped when I heard my name being called.

"MICKEY!"

I turned around and it was Roger, he ran up to me and put a hand on my shoulder.

"You ok?" Roger asked.

His green eyes looked soft and gentle as he asked me.

"No." I said honestly.

I wasn't about to lie about all this shit.

"Come on, lets sit down."

He took my hand and we sat on the red couch.

"What happened?" Roger asked softly.

I have never seen him so caring and sensitive before. Roger Davis bad ass rocker having a heart?

"Mark and I have been having problems for a few months now."

"Yeah I know, he's been working hard on his documentary that he wants done by the end of the year."

"And I support him 210 percent, but I've been busy too and I would like to spend some time with him every now and then. You know what I mean?"

"Yeah."

I explained the whole thing to him and I could tell he was listening. When I got to the part about Mark saying I was acting like Kate, Roger's soft green eyes turned into green eyes filled with anger.

I started crying and he held me, I looked at him and he looked at me, then I did something I would never imagine, I kissed him passionately and he deepened the kiss. When we pulled apart Mark was standing in front of us with a hurt look on his face.

"Mark.." Roger said getting up. "Look.."

Before Roger could say anything, Mark ran off.

Mark's POV

I couldn't believe I compared Mickey to Kate. What is wrong with me? Ever since I put my mind on this documentary I have detached myself from my family, I don't remember the last time I told Mickey I loved her or when I took Luke out filming with me and just yesterday I realized how big Sami has gotten.

I have to apologize, I have to stop her before she runs to Benny. When I walked around the corner I saw something that made my heart shatter to pieces…..Mickey and Roger were kissing and not just a peck, but a deep passionate kiss, the type of kiss that's during sex. When they pulled away they saw me.

"Mark.." Roger said. " Look.."

I didn't even let him finish I just ran to Maureen and Joanne's hotel room, I knew I could talk to them. When I got to their door I banged as loud as I could.

"What's wrong?" Joanne asked me with a concerned look on her face.

"I..I..I…"

I pasted out.
