I am back with another chapter… thanks for a review from the last chapter. I hope you will not get mad when you get to the end. :D


3 Months later: March 2011

Ever since Mac and I got engaged, I have been busy planning for our wedding. We set our wedding date, which will be on June 23, 2011.

I have already asked Stella to be my maid of honor and Lindsay to be my bridesmaid and they agreed.

So today, I met Lindsay and Stella for lunch. Lindsay had brought along Lucy, which I was happy about because I love Lucy as if she was my daughter.

We talked about everything including the wedding.

"I haven't got to the wedding dresses yet." I say, looking at my wedding planner book.

"You have plenty of time to get the wedding dress." Stella said.

"I know… I am just so excited about the wedding. I just can't wait to marry my love of my life." I started to laugh when Lindsay and Stella made faces.

"It's cheesy, I know." I say, writing something down in my wedding planner book.

"No, we're so happy for you." Lindsay say, picking up fussing Lucy from the stroller.

"Hey Lucy, what's the matter?" I say to Lucy, who is starting to scream.

"It's her teeth. It has been bothering her for couple of days now."

"Aww… Lucy is not a happy girl today." I said as Lindsay puts the teething ring in Lucy's mouth.

"What are you thinking about?" Stella asked when she saw me thinking.

"I was trying to imagine what our son would look like if he was alive today."

"I'm sorry for asking." Stella says but I stopped her from apologizing.

"No, it's okay. I know that I will have another baby but sometimes I would dream about my baby boy. Lindsay, you are so lucky to have a beautiful daughter and I know that she is going to be great."

Lindsay smiled and kissed Lucy's head. "Thank you."

I smiled back and we went back to our normal conversation.


After we ate our lunch, I was paying our tab when I mentioned that I was going to meet Mac for coffee at his office.

"So Stella, I will see you at the office."

Stella nodded and left. I gave Lindsay a hug goodbye and gave Lucy a kiss on the cheek.

I walked to the Starbucks couple of blocks down and got me a latte and Mac a black coffee.

I took a cab on the way to the office. When I got there, I took the stairs to get a little exercise to the fifth floor where Mac's office is.

I walked past the lab where Adam waved at me and I waved back. The blinds were closed in Mac's office and that was usual for him to have them closed when he is on a phone call or whatever.

I entered in Mac's office without knocking and I stopped in my tracks.

My smile fell down and I dropped our coffee to the floor.

Mac is in the chair with a woman on top of him, kissing him and rocking him. She has a long brunette hair from what I can tell on her back.

My stomach turned and I could not say anything.

I was very quiet for five minutes before I finally could say something.

"How could you, Mac?" I whispered. They stopped quickly and turned quickly to see who it was.

Mac was shocked and so was the woman.

Mac pushed the woman off him and stood up, fixing his belt.

"Isabella…" Mac whispered. He couldn't say anything and the woman was putting her skirt back on.

They stared at me.

"You son of bitch!" I spat at him and ran out of the door.

I knew Mac was chasing me because I could hear him behind me.

There was a crowd in the elevator so I shouted.

"Hold the doors, please!" I managed to get into the elevator and the doors closed on Mac running to me.

"Everything alright, Miss?" A stranger asked me.

I had to catch my breath from running and from pain and anger.

"Yes, everything is fine… I'm just running late for work." I lied.

I got off the elevator and ran outside.

I caught a cab and asked him to take me to Stella's apartment. When I got to Stella's apartment, I gave the man a tip and ran inside.

I took my key chain and looked for Stella's key until I found hers. She gave me a copy of her key a year ago when she had to go on a trip and she needed someone to take care of her plants.

I went inside and locked the door. I took off my wedge boots and threw them across the floor in anger.

"Damn it, Mac! Why?" I yell and fell down sobbing.

"Oh god!" I whimpered.

I jumped when I heard my cell phone ringing so I looked into my purse and took the phone out.

I looked at the Id and pressed "Ignore." It was Mac trying to call me. I decided to turn off my phone since I knew Mac would be trying to call me.

I felt my engagement ring so I looked at it and cried. After I got all my anger and tears out, I took my ring off and put it in my purse.

I made myself to stand up and put the shoes in the corner so Stella would not trip over them.

I decided to borrow Stella's pajamas and took a long shower.

After my nice shower, I turned on her TV and went to the kitchen to look for something to eat.

I looked into her freezer and realized that she has a huge container of chocolate ice cream. I take the spoon and took them with me to the living room where I can watch TV on the couch.

I ate all of the ice cream and I still felt empty. I threw away the empty container and got another pint of ice cream.

I was still eating ice cream when Stella came in and saw me.

The look on her face told me that she knew what happened.

I stared at her and started to cry.

"Isabella… it's okay." Stella came over to me and took the ice cream away from me.

She takes the pillow from the couch and put it on her lap. I lay my head down on her pillow and cried while she caressed my head.

"It's okay, baby. Everything is going to be fine." She kisses my temple and continued caress my head.

After crying for so long, I did not have any tears left to spare anymore so I sit up.

"You can spend the night if you want to."

"I can't face Mac right now so yeah, I would like to."

Stella nodded and we hugged.

"I'll get the blanket so you can sleep on the couch."

I nodded. She went to the closet, got the blanket, and gave it to me.

"Good night, sweetie." Stella kisses my head.

"Good night, Stella."

I went to sleep exhausted and heartbroken.


The next morning, I woke up to Stella talking on the phone heatedly. When she saw me, she mouthed to me "Mac."

I shook my head and covered my head with blanket.

"Look, Mac. She does not want to talk to you now. I am sorry. I have to go now. Bye."

She walked over to me and sat down next to my legs.

"Isabella, I was thinking that maybe you could stay with me for couple of days until you find your own place."

I removed the blanket from my head. "Thanks, Stella. Do me a favor."
"What?"

"When you are with Mac, I need you to make sure he stays at the office while I go back to our… I mean his now apartment and get my stuff."

"Well, do you want Lindsay to help you?"

"No, it'll be fine. I can do it."

I clear my throat and kept tears from coming.

"Okay… I have to go now. Call me when you get back."

I nodded and she hugged me one more time before she left for work.

I took another long shower and put my clothes on that I had wore yesterday.

I took my keys and my wallet so I will not have to carry my purse with me.

I took a cab and rode to his apartment.

I got into his apartment and looked around in sadness.

I straightened up and walked to the bedroom where I took out my suitcases and packed.

When I got everything, I looked around to double check.

There is a picture of us together on my old dresser and I picked it up.

I put the picture frame down on the dresser and put my engagement ring next to it. I grabbed my suitcases and put them out in the hall.

I went inside one more time, took the copy key for Mac's apartment off my key chain, and put it down on the kitchen counter.

I closed the door and walked out with my suitcases… not knowing if I could go back together with Mac.
