Chapter 21: Hurtful Confessions
Jim and Melinda both sat in the kitchen. Faith and Beth stood in the kitchen staring at their children. "I'm ashamed of you two" Faith sighed. "You two need to work out whatever problems you have before the night is over. I don't care what it is. WORK IT OUT" Beth said and walked back outside. Faith sighed and grabbed the broom from the closet and went outside to clean up the mess Jim made. Melinda glanced over at Jim "They are right you know" Melinda said. Jim got up "Yeah well i'm not interested in working it out" Jim left the kitchen and walked into the living room. Melinda got up and followed him. "Where are you going" she asked. "Home" Jim walked out the door and went over to his truck. Steve walked up to Melinda "Are you ok" he asked his wife in a concerned voice. Melinda nodded "Yeah i'm fine" she said. "Ok. I'll be right back" Steve walked out of the house going after Jim. "Ok" Melinda said not knowing where Steve was going. She had to see Jim and apologize to him. Melinda couldnt believe her eyes. Jim and Steve were both arguing and just then one of the guys threw the first punch at the other guy. "JIM" Melinda yelled and went running over to them. Melinda helped Jim up. Jim quickly pulled away from her "I'm fine. Just leave me alone" Jim walked to his car. "Jim, I..." Melinda started to say but Jim was already in his car and took off driving down the street. Melinda sighed then looked at Steve "Why the hell did you hit him" she asked. Melinda was upset. "I hit him because of the way he treated you in the back yard. Don't be mad at me for that" Steve said. "You shouldn't have hit he. He's no harm. I have to go see if he's alright" Melinda said. She went into the house and grabbed her car keys and left leaving Steve standing there in the street by himself.
Jim slumped in his apartment couch drinking a beer. Melinda walked in his apartment. "What do you want" Jim asked. "I'm sorry about everything. About Steve hitting you and the way I acted. I'm sorry" Melinda said. Jim chuckled sarcastically "Whoa. So you think since you cut me of your life the past few months. Changed your number, got back with Steve and you finally know that Britney's baby is not mine" Jim got up and walked to the fridge and grabbed another beer "That we can get back together now. Well think again. You hurt me. Why don't you go be with your husband now. We're done" Jim chugged his beer down. "Jim, I'm sorry" Melinda walked over to him. Jim back away "Don't" Jim said. "Please don't be like this" Melinda said. Jim chuckled "Be like what" Jim asked rudely. "I know you want to get back together with me" Melinda said. "I do. I mean I did but not anymore. I feel cheated. You didn't trust me or anything. You just want to get back together because you now know that baby is not mine. Well news flash Melinda" Jim took a drink of his beer. A tear fell down his face "You should of trusted me but you didn't" Jim said. He was really hurt by how Melinda handled everything. "Jim, I'm sorry. I have trust issues with every..." Melinda started to say. "Spare me that bullshit. I don't want to hear that bullshit. You thought low of me and that does not and will not change anything. Now get out" Another tear fell down his face "and go be with your fucking husband" Jim said. Tears started to fall down Melinda's face. She left the Jim's place and walked to her car crying. She couldn't get the image of hurt and betrayal that she saw on Jim's face. She now fully regreted handling the situation like she did.
Melinda sat in the living room of her house and kept calling Jim's cell phone, she called him all day since this afternoon but he wouldn't answer. Jim laid on his couch drinking a beer. He could hear his cell phone ringing but he wasn't picking it up. Jim grabbed it a few minutes later and answered the call "Leave me alone. I'll call you when I'm ready" Jimhung up on her and threw his phone back on the table.
Melinda sat in the recliner in her living room and sighed "Mel, just let him be. He was a jackass. He should be apologizing to you" Steve said. "Why the hell did you have to hit him. Why couldn't you just leave him alone. So what if he lashed out at me. I deserved it" Melinda put her phone on the table and walked into the kitchen and poured herself a glass of wine. "What do you mean you deserved it" Steve asked as he came into the kitchen. "Something happened when I was home a few months ago and he told me something and I should of believed him" Melinda said. "Mind telling me what happened" Steve asked her. "Yes. It's only between Me and Jim" Melinda walked away.
Jim laid there on the couch. "I need to get out of here" Jim pulled himself up and grabbed his cell phone and his keys off the coffee table and left his place. Today was one of the worst days ever for him and he just wanted everything to go away. Everything hurt. Seeing Melinda today hurt him even more since he couldn't have her. Hearing that she and her husband were trying to have a baby hurt him even more. It should be him and Melinda trying to have a baby he thought to himself but he knew he couldn't give her any children. Jim sat in his car "Maybe she's with him for the best. He can give her things I can't" he said to himself as he started the car and drove off down the street. Jim stopped at the red light. He glanced at his cell phone and seen the text someone sent him. He put his phone in his pocket and proceeded to drive when the light changed. Out of nowhere Jim's car was struck when another car hit him running a red light. Jim's car rolled over three times before stopping.
Around midnight Melinda's phone started ringing. Melinda reached over on the coffee table and picked it up. Steve watched as she talked on the phone. "I'll be there soon" Melinda's voice was shaky as she hung up. "What's wrong" Steve stood up. "Uh. I have to go. It's Jim" Melinda was holding her tears back. Steve sighed "Mel, it's an hour away. Can't you just wait until tomorrow morning" Steve said. Melinda sighed "Are you serious? He's my best friend and I love him" she said. "I understand that but I don't think Jim would want you to leave this late at night" Steve said. "You just don't understand do you" Melinda grabbed her purse and keys and started to walk towards the door "Mel, are you sure this is what Jim would want" Steve asked. "Stop talking to me like he's dead. He's not" Melinda said. "I know I'm just saying" he said. Steve walked up to her and took her hands in his "Just stay until the morning then we'll both go" Steve said. Melinda pulled away "No I'm going tonight. You know what this is the only way I can say this but I'm sorry to tell you this, but I had an affair with Jim when I went home. I'm sorry" Melinda walked out the door and left. Steve just stood there in shock and was hurt by what Melinda just told him.
