Chapter 14

Wendy's POV

I try to give Stan a tissue, but he pushes my hand away. "Why did you have to say that in front of Kyle?" He asks as he glares at me.

"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have said that. But it's not like it isn't true."

He frowns. "So you cheated on me with my best friend because I couldn't give you a baby?"

"You know I wanted nothing more than to have a baby. You couldn't do it, so I found someone who could!"

"You're acting like you're the only one that wanted a baby! I did too! Because of you and Kyle, I have nothing!" Stan begins bawling like a baby.

"I'm sorry Stan!"

"It's bad enough you cheated with my best friend, but did you have to fuck him in OUR bed?"

"It's over between us. This isn't your bed anymore."

"We're still legally married!"

I shrug. "For how. I'm going to file for divorce first thing Monday morning."

"You truly want to end things between us?"

I nod. "Kyle and I have fallen in love. We want to explore what our relationship and give Leah a two parent household."

"Why didn't you just tell me instead of going behind my back? You made me look really stupid!"

"I didn't want to hurt you. I still love you Stan, but I felt so dead with you. Our love making became so boring and predictable. Being with Kyle has opened my world up to new things I didn't even know existed!"

Stan covers his ears. "Please spare me the details!"

I take his hand. "Once I found out I was pregnant, I knew deep down it was over between us. I just didn't want to accept it. I stopped making love to you and was getting closer to Kyle."

He stares at me. "Wait a minute! So all those times you told me we had sex, but I forgot was a lie?"

I nod slowly. "…yes." He jerks his hand away and pushes me away from him. "I'm sorry! It was so easy to do because you were always high as the sky!"

"Let me guess, I didn't forget the appointments either?"

I shake my head. "No, I purposely told you the wrong dates so Kyle could be there with me instead of you."

"Then you had the nerve to get angry with me for missing them! You were gaslighting me! You stupid BITCH!" He punches the wall. I'll admit, I'm a little afraid right now.

"I'm sorry!"

"Don't say that again! You're not sorry! You were going to let this continue! I'm sure you and Kyle had a good laugh at my expense, huh? Look at Stan, the retarded pothead! He'll believe anything we say!"

"It wasn't exactly like that…"

"Then you had one of my other best friends lie for you! Who else knew about this?"

"Only Nichole and Token."

I see Stan's face turn red with anger. "More people having a good laugh at my expense!"

"Not at all! They wanted us to tell you the truth! They felt bad about what we were going to you."

"Not bad enough to tell me the truth!"

"I'm really sorry Stan!"

He grabs me and starts shaking me. "Stop saying that! You don't fucking mean it!" He shakes his head. "I can't believe I ever fell in love or married a self centered bitch like you!" I hear Leah crying.

"I have to go tend to my daughter." I tell him.

"Don't worry, I'll be out of here as soon as I get my clothes! I hope you and Kyle make each other miserable!" He angrily opens the drawer to get his clothes. I leave him to it while I go check on Leah.

Stan's POV

I walk in my parent's house and I find my dad with Bebe. No surprise that he's working. "Stan? What are you doing here?" Dad asks when he notices me with a trash bag in my hand.

"I'm staying here for awhile." I tell him.

I notice him and Bebe exchanging looks. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Nope!"

"Okay, well your old room is the same as you left it." I nod and head to my room. I close the door and throw the bag in the closet. I lie face down on my bed and cry. I can't believe this is what my life has come to.

I hear a knock on my door and the door open. "Dad, I told you-"

"It's not your dad, it's me." I turn and see Bebe.

"What do you want?"

She holds up a bag. "I wanted to see if you wanted to do a line with me."

I shake my head. "Coke isn't my drug of choice."

"What about a joint with your name on it?" She holds up a joint and smiles.

I sigh. "If I say yes, will you leave afterwards?"

"Sure." She closes the door and sits down on the bed. She lights the joint and passes it to me. "So what happened?" She asks as indulges in her own drug.

"It's over between Wendy and me..."

"Why?"

"She cheated on me with Kyle and he got her pregnant."

"Oh wow. I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry I didn't see what was going on sooner. I feel like the world's biggest idiot!"

She pats me on the back. "Don't feel like that. You loved and trusted her so you weren't expecting her to pull something like this."

I take a long drag of the joint. "I should've known that kid wasn't mine when she came out with green eyes and red hair! Wendy told me she probably takes after her dad. I was dumb enough to believe it!"

"You love her and thought she was faithful! You didn't do anything wrong, she did!"

"I should've known something was up when she told me she was pregnant. The doctor already said our chances were slim to none."

"You have to stop blaming yourself!"

"I have to blame myself! My marriage is over because of my stupidity!" I start tearing up.

Bebe hugs me. "To be honest Stan, I always thought you were too good for her. Even when we were friends."

I smile a bit. "Thanks. I wish I didn't feel like shit…"

"You're allowed to feel sorry for yourself for a little while. After some time, you have to accept things for what they are and move on."

"I guess. I have to figure out my next move. I don't want to stay here long. I could've stayed with Kenny, but I fucked that up."

She raises her eyebrow. "How so?"

"I sexually assaulted him."

Bebe's eyes widen. "Really?"

I nod. "I kissed him without his consent. I didn't mean to! I was drunk and I asked to sleep in his bed so I didn't have to be alone. Sometime during the night, I called him Wendy and kissed him."

"It was an honest mistake. Kenny's a whore so I doubt he minded." Bebe chuckles.

"He didn't, but still. I do! I took advantage of him and his kindness!"

"I think you're overreacting about this. How's Kenny doing anyway?" She asks changing the subject.

I glare at her. "Are you really asking about Kenny or do you want to know about Tommy?"

She turns red. "You got me!" She giggles nervously. "How is Tommy?"

"He's fine. He's a really great kid. Kenny's doing a great job with him."

"God, I miss him..." I can tell hearing that is making her sad.

"Maybe you can talk to Kenny about spending some with him. It's only right."

She shakes her head. "I have to prove myself to him first. I've really screwed up my life."

I grab a bottle of whiskey from dresser drawer. I kept it there in case of an emergency. "You're in good company." I pour both of us a cup of whiskey. "Cheers!" We hit our cups together and down the whiskey like it's a shot.

"You didn't screw up your life. You just married the wrong woman."

I sigh. "I feel like I'm going to spend the rest of my life alone."

"Don't say that. You just have to find the right one."

"I don't think she exists."

Bebe smiles. "Sure she does! You just have to find someone who loves and appreciates you. More importantly, someone who will be faithful to you. You're a great catch!"

"Yeah right, according to my wife, Kyle is a better catch."

"I don't think so. While I do think Kyle's a good looking guy, there was always something about him that came off as arrogant and judgmental. You're not like that at all. You're a very sweet and down to earth guy. You're really good looking too. Those baby blues are so sexy."

I smile. "You're just trying to make me feel better."

"I'm saying it because it's true. Maybe you need to stop self-deprecating. You may end up losing out on getting to know someone."

"Like who?" The next thing I know, she kisses me. I pull away from her and look at her in shock.

"Oh God! I'm so sorry Stan, I don't know what came over me! I just-" I stop her by kissing her back. We continue kissing and the next thing I know, we're undressing each other. Then we end up in my bed with me on top of her.

"Stan?" I turn around and see…

"Wendy?" Bebe sits up and Wendy looks pissed!
