3 Months Earlier

It was starting to get dark earlier now Elliot noticed as he got out of his car and walked up to the door, it was only 5 P.M, but the sun had already come and gone. He thought back to the last time he had been out of work early to surprise Kathy; it was early in the summer when it seemed to stay light until 8 o'clock.

Him and Kathy had been fighting a lot recently, over stupid things, and of course the thing they always fought about, his job. Elliot had been working late every day, some nights not even coming home, but it was his job and Kathy knew that she couldn't really do anything about his seemingly constant absence.

He opened the door quietly and took off his jacket, he had bought flowers home for his wife; he felt slightly guilty for having to work so much recently even if it wasn't his fault. He went in to the kitchen to put the flowers in some water in the hopes to surprise his wife. He was about to search the house for her when he heard a noise from upstairs.

Elliot smiled, as he walked up the stairs. Kathy will be so surprised to see me home so early he thought as he was walking up the stairs. Elliot walked over to their room, Kathy was probably cleaning, she always seemed to keep the house so clean, he thought.

"Kathy" he opened the bedroom door.

"Elliot!" she exclaimed with terror.

She was surprised to see him all right.

Elliot just stood there, staring at his wife with some man; both of them were barely clothed. He pulled the man off the bed and threw him up against a wall and started to hit him.

"Elliot, stop!" Kathy screamed running to the mystery man's aid. She knew that Elliot would kill him if she didn't stop him. She grabbed Elliot and pulled him off of the guy just enough so the guy could bolt out of the house.

"El, it's.. it's not what it looks like" Kathy said

"Really, Kathy? Because I think it's pretty clear what that was" Elliot screamed at her.

"No, it's… he's … we weren't… we didn't…"

"Don't try that shit with me Kathy, I know what I saw... How long?"

Kathy didn't reply she just looked down.

"HOW LONG!" Elliot screamed

"I don't know… a while…"

"A while? What do you mean a while? Weeks?... Months?... YEARS?..." Elliot yelled

Kathy was trying to hold back tears "I never meant to hurt you, you have to believe me, I didn't want this" Kathy cried.

"In our bed… In our bed!" Elliot screamed.

"I'm sorry, El… please" she touched his arm, tears falling down her cheek.

"Don't" Elliot jerked away from her touch. "What if Eli came in and…" Elliot stopped as if a light went off in her head.

Kathy shook her head, "Elliot don't" she was still crying.

"Eli… is he even… " Kathy looked down "The Truth?" He screamed

"I… I… I don't know" she sobbed

"What do you mean, you don't know?"

"You could be the father" she said, not making any eye contact with him.

"That's great Kathy, real nice, you broke every promise we ever made" Elliot yelled.

"You want to talk promises?" Kathy said angrily. "You're never here, and even when you are you don't talk to me, you're not there for me, you never have been" she shouted.

"So now this is my fault?" Elliot shouted

"Maybe if you cared about something other than your job" Kathy accused.

Elliot rolled his eyes. How dare she try to make this his fault, she was the one who was cheating on him. "Don't make this about me, you're the one who has been fooling around with god knows how many people" his tone was angry but he was no longer screaming.

"Oh, right, like you and Olivia haven't…"

"Seriously?" Elliot interrupted her, screaming once again. "Just because you would cheat doesn't mean everyone would, she's my partner, I do not have feelings for her! How many times to I have to tell you that!"

Elliot stormed out of the bedroom and headed down the stairs. Kathy ran after him.

"Where are you going?" she yelled after him

"I'm leaving, I can't stand to look at you anymore" he yelled as he was walking out the door.

"Fine! Don't come back!" she yelled slamming the front door.
