“Lauren, forget it, it’s over You’re right, I’m in love with Jenny, and if you choose to believe that happened while you were still here, then there’s nothing I can do to change that, and what’s more, I don’t care to” Damn, how fucked up have I been? I was married to this woman for years, had planned to spend the rest ofbut pity for her now?

“You can’t throw our lives away because of one stupid irls? What about all the plans we had?” She walked towards me with her arms outstretched, and I took three steps back and out of her way

“Don’t touch h Did you really think I’d touch you again? How are we supposed to stay ht of youthe words I hate you and was shocked at myself to realize that it was true

Not because she’d cheated on hout the years, but for what this is going to do toto do to the run I was suddenly very tired like all the steam had run out of me, and I just wanted to be done with this whole mess once and for all

“You shouldn’t be here; you’re not welcomed here And you’re not allowed around h to protect theain, I won’t think twice about having you arrested for trespassing or worst”

I was surprised at er felt likeout of control the way I had just a few short weeks ago, I was able to keep a level head while dealing with her She looked terrible like she’d been through hell in the last few days

She earing a hospital goo it looked like, had a bandage on her forehead, and no shoes on her feet I couldn’t druone “You can’t keep ned for any divorce”

“Didn’t they teach you about no-fault divorce in law school?” Oh, boy, the scientist is back

“Baby, I don’t think you should be here, why don’t you go back upstairs with the girls?”

“I don’t think so” She walked into the roo on her

I’ht of linted in the lights co from the tree

Whichever it was her crazy arab for Jenny I jumped in between the two of the touch her, or then I’ll really break your neck I’ht now, but trust me, you don’t want to touch her”

I guess that was the wrong thing to say because she changed direction and ca for my face and eyes I just knocked her out of the way, but the way she screa her “I’ll kill that bitch before I let her have my children”

“What children? The ones you tried to kill?”

The screa really started in then, and I had a moment of clarity in which I wondered just how the hell I’d screwed up my life so much that it had reached this point It wasn’t lost on me, the fact that the tomen were so vastly different, that I too was a different man with each of them

Outside I heard sirens approaching Lauren got this wild look in her eyes like a cornered animal, and I was finally able to see the sickness in her eyes Jenny was right after all; it wasn’t an act Lauren really is crazy

“I hate you both this isn’t over” There was such venom in those feords that I think if she’d been armed, we’d both be dead It was at that moment that I realized I needed to cauterize her existence from our lives

There was such hate in her eyes when she looked at Jenny that I auto her fro the doorbell “Go, let the cops in Jenny”

Derrick

It was absolute chaos My phone rang just as the first set of cops walked through the door behind Jenny It was the arresting officers fro me to the fact that Lauren had escaped fro up without telling them how late they were
