Thanks for the reviews sorry for not updating sooner I went to America for a few weeks and when I got back I've just been really busy I'm going to try and update sooner.
Chapter 14
It was a couple of days until the wedding and Lita was on her way to ST Louie she really thought about not going she wasn't really ready to see Randy yet but she couldn't miss the wedding and her kids wanted her there. She was just going to have to try and keep her distance as much as she could she thought about staying at her and Randy's place but her mother in law wouldn't take no as an answer and insisted she stay at the Orton house with everyone else.
Randy's mom was meeting her at the airport it would be good to see her it's been a long time since they were all together it would be good to see everyone again. Lita knew this week would have been hard for Randy with the relationship he had with his dad and normally she would be there by his side so he wouldn't have to deal with it on his own. But right now as much as she wanted to be there for him but she couldn't it just hurt too much.
Randy knew what it was he was holding, he didn't need to open the envelope to know what it was inside it. He couldn't believe this was happening they were supposed to be together forever. He knew what he did was wrong but a divorce he couldn't handle that this was all becoming too much. When he went to the house to check the mail and make sure everything was fine he saw it amongst all the bills and he just crumbled to the floor gripping it.
"Randy man what's wrong" Ryan asked as he walked though his brothers house after waiting in the car for the last half hour he knew something was wrong and he's never seen his brother in this state.
"A divorce she wants a divorce" Randy cried as he threw the envelope across the room.
"Randy don't give up, I know you two can work it out she loves you bro right now she's just hurting" Ryan said as he sat next to his big brother he never thought he'd see Randy like this he's always been so strong.
"But why a divorce I can't lose my family I just can't. I'm nothing without them I don't know how I'm going to get through this" Randy cried.
"Randy I wasn't supposed to say anything mom's probably going to kill me for telling you but Lita's staying at the house until after the wedding" Ryan smiled.
"Huh but mom said she not coming to the wedding" Randy asked confused at least he knew why his mom was acting funny.
"Yeah I think mom's got something planned you know what she like" Ryan said.
"Yeah well I don't think it going to work now if Lita wants a divorce" Randy cried.
"You aint got to sign them bro, you can't give up on her I know you love her to much to lose her" Ryan said.
"She's my world I can't believe I was so stupid to lose her why did all of this shit have to happen" Randy cried.
"Come on bro let's get back to the house mom's got some diner party starting soon and she wants the house ready" Ryan said as he helped his brother up.
When Lita got to the airport Brenda and Randy's sister Toni was waiting for her she expected the kids to be there she knew what was about to happen and she didn't think she'd be ready for it.
"Lita it's so good to see you" Brenda said as she hugged her daughter in law.
"Hi Brenda, Toni where's the kids" Lita asked.
"They're with my mom something about wanting to spend time with them and I thought it would be good for us to have a talk about everything" Brenda said as they walked through the terminal.
"I know you only want to help but I really don't want to talk about anything it's just too hard" Lita cried.
"Come on lets go get a drink and have a chat" Brenda sighed she knew exactly how Lita was feeling and there is nothing worse than talking to someone when the wounds are still so raw.
Brenda took them to the bar not far from the house that way they could ring bob if they got a bit merry and with the party tonight it would be good to talk to Lita and try and help.
"Brenda I know what you're going to say but Randy and I are done he made his choice" Lita cried.
"Lita baby I know you think I'm going to take Randy's side because he's my son but I know what it feels like to have the man you love more than anything in the world cheat on you" Brenda sighed.
"What are you talking about mom" Toni asked she couldn't imagine her dad ever cheating.
"Toni I never told you about this and your brothers were too young to really remember but yes your dad cheated on me with one of his old high school girlfriends" Brenda cried even thought it was over twenty five years ago it still hurt.
"Are you serious mom dad would never do that" Toni said she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Toni this might be hard for you to hear but a few years before you were born I found out he cheated and I left him I took your brothers with me to Nan's house. We were there for about six months then eventually I forgave your father I couldn't live without him anymore. I have never regretted that decision because as much as your dad drives me crazy I know he loves me and would never do anything to hurt me again. He knew what it felt like to lose his family and he never wanted to lose us again.
"Mom I don't understand how could you forgive dad he cheated on you" Toni asked none of this was making sense she thought her parents had the perfect marriage.
"Because I loved him and I know he loved me" Brenda said.
"But is that enough what if he cheats again how could you trust him" Lita asked she couldn't understand how she could just forgive him like nothing happened her heart was ripped from her chest when Randy cheated.
"It wasn't easy but he never gave up on me or his family he came to see me every day without fail and even though it killed me seeing him eventually the wall around my heart started to fall down and I let him back in again. Because not only did I miss my husband I missed my best friend" Brenda said really hoping by telling Lita this it would somehow help her and Randy.
"Wasn't it hard" Lita asked she couldn't think of what else to say she thought Randy's parents marriage was perfect. They've been married over 30 years she couldn't understand what she was hearing maybe the apple didn't fall far from the tree if Bob could cheat on his wife and Randy could cheat on her maybe Randy was more like his father than he would want to be.
"Of course it was hard I'd been with Bob since I was seventeen years old and we were both so young when we got married and had a family at first I just thought he wanted a way out when Vanessa came in to town. Maybe Bob thought he could relive his youth we were still so young but with two kids it was hard. So when I found out about the affair I left I couldn't stay if he wanted to be with Vanessa more than me and our family then he could I wasn't going to stand in his way. But he wouldn't give up on me and everyday he would make me see just how much he loved me and I fell in love with him all over again" Brenda said if felt good to talk about this after everything happened she just left it all in the past.
"I wish I could forgive Randy and I tried but he just went back to Stacie" Lita cried.
"What do you mean he went back to Stacie" Brenda asked, he couldn't do that not her son why would Randy lie to her.
"I forgave Randy for cheating on me it was so hard I've never been so broken but when he told me he loved me and only me and he wanted us to get married again I said yes. Even though I knew Stacie was still an issue but I believed in him and our marriage. Even though it was hard to trust him again I knew I had to at least try and make it work for the sake of my family. I couldn't live without him anymore and I really believed him when he said I was the only one. But when Randy arrived to the wedding late because he was with her I knew I couldn't be with him anymore because as much as I loved him he can't really love me if he keeps running to her" Lita cried.
"Lita I had no idea, Randy told me he cheated one time with Stacie I had no idea it was an ongoing affair I'm so sorry and now here I am trying to get you to see him. I'm so sorry and I wouldn't blame you if you left. When I get hold of my boy I'm going to ring his neck all his moping around saying how much he misses you and can't live without you and he's still seeing Stacie" Brenda said as she got up.
Toni went after her mom she knew this wasn't going to be good for Randy. Lita had to say something she didn't think he was still having an affair at least she hoped he wasn't not that it would be an affair because technically they weren't together anymore but if he was with Stacie she didn't think her heart could handle that.
"Hi mom" Randy said as he saw he mom storm through the house he didn't think he'd ever seen her this mad.
"Don't you hi mom me why Randy why did you lie to me there I was trying to help you get your wife back when you've been with Stacie all this time how could you do that to your wife and family what happened to the sweet boy I raised" Brenda cried as she walked through the lounge.
"Mom what are you talking about I'm not having an affair with Stacie it was one time" Randy sighed why wouldn't anyone believe him he loved his wife all he wants is his family back.
"Then why did you leave Lita at the altar while your off somewhere with Stacie how could you do that and why didn't you tell me you were getting remarried didn't you think I would want to be there" Brenda cried.
"Mom I'm sick of this yes I was late but I thought Stacie was in trouble what was I supposed to do leave her. Don't you think if I could take that decision back I would I lost the love of my life because of my stupid screw ups. I have to live with the fact I wrecked my wife the most important, special person to me. It kills me knowing the hurt and pain I've caused her and my family" Randy cried.
"Randy I" Brenda started to say.
"No mom I'm not finished, I know all this mess is my fault but I'm trying here all I want is my wife and family back and I'm not going to give up. Because I need my wife like I need air and I can't live without her anymore, so I'm sorry if I ever let you down mom and I know I'm not the best son I'm not really good at anything at the moment. But please don't give up on me I'm going to die trying to make everything right again" Randy said as he walked out he needed some air right now.
Lita couldn't believe what she herd she'd never heard such pain in his voice she really thought about going after him but she couldn't because even though all she wants is to be in his arms again right now she really needed to think because she just herd what she needed to hear her husband still loved her but was that still enough.
