That Monday Micayla was waiting for Carter to come home. She knew this was going to be a hard conversation. Even though she didn't love him part of her did care about him and she knew this was really going to hurt him. Micayla had already had divorce papers drawn up early that morning and her bags were packed. He walked through the door.
"Carter come sit down." Micayla said. "We need to talk."
"What's the matter?"
"Carter I have to tell you some things and they're all going to hurt." "Carter the baby isn't yours."
"What?"
"I've been seeing another man." "The baby is his."
"How could you do this to me?!" He said angrily. "I loved you."
"I know but Carter, I don't love you." "It isn't that you're not a good man." "You are." "I'm just not the woman for you."
"You don't love me?" He said hurt.
"No." "I don't." "I'm sorry."
"Why?"
"You're not what I want." "You care about money." "I don't." "We're different people Carter."
"I can change."
"No." "It's to late." "I'm in love with someone else."
"Why did you marry me?"
"I thought it was the right thing to do." "I was wrong."
"What does he have that I don't?"
"Nothing."
"I've tried to give you everything you want."
"I don't want possessions." "I want love."
"I can give you that."
"No you can't." "You don't know how." "I want you to be happy Carter and find a woman more suitable for you." She took out the divorce papers from beside her. "These are divorce papers." "You can have it all." "Everything." "I don't care."
"Give me another chance." "I know I can change into the man you want me to be."
"No." "You should never have to change who you are for anyone." "I've already signed the papers." "All you have to do is sign."
"Micayla being you with is all I know." "If I'm not with you, what am I?"
"That's the fun part." "You get to figure it out."
"Alright." "If this is what you want."
"It is." He signed the papers.
"You can stay here until you find another place."
"Thank you but no need." "I already have another place."
"Where?"
"Florida." She kissed him on the cheek. "Bye."
"Bye."
Micayla got a plane to Kentucky because John was on the road. When she got there it was about nine o' clock at night. She walked through the door. John was sitting on the couch.
"Hey." He said.
"Hi."
"Here let me take your bags." He took them out for hand and sat them down.
"They weren't that heavy." They sat down on the couch.
"So how did he take it?"
"Better then I thought he would." "I think he was more hurt then anything else."
"Did he sign the papers?"
"Yes." "We're divorced."
"So that means you're a free agent?"
"Yeah." "I don't plan on being single for long."
"No?"
"No." "I have my eye on someone."
"Anyone I know?"
"Yeah." "We've wanted to be together for a long time." "We're expecting our first child." "I love him so much."
"He loves you too." They kissed.
"Guess what."
"What?"
"I'm finally your girlfriend."
"I know it's great."
