Present Day
Robyn

“Mommy!!” I heard Alexis call from the living room. I was in the kitchen looking through all of the cabinets, today was Brian’s birthday and I was going to throw him a huge party. Of course, there would be no drugs involved, which was the type of party he was used to. I was gonna have Alexis stay with my mom and dad for the night, since his parents were gonna be there. “You’re gonna have to come in here baby!” I called back “I can’t hear you” I sat down at the table and began to write a list of all the things I need.

“I’m hungry” I looked down to see our daughter staring up at me with big blue eyes. “I know baby. We’re gonna go get stuff for daddy’s birthday and get something to eat somewhere okay?”I said to her “Mommy needs all the time she can get to get things ready for today” I saw a smile appear on her face. “Is Uncle Matt coming?” she asked me. I smiled lightly “Of course he is, Mommy needs help and Matt loves to help.”

“Let's get going okay?” I said to her. I grabbed my purse and then picked her up before walking outside into the California heat. Matt lived about two blocks away from us, but there was no way that we were walking that far. I pulled out my phone and called him, listening to it ring, over and over again. “Come on Matt, pick up” I muttered to myself

“Hello?” I heard on the other side of the phone. “Hey, Alexis and I are standing outside, where are you?” I asked him. “We’re ready to get everything for the party, we just need you,” I said. “I’m sorry Robyn, I’ll be there shortly. “ He said to me apologetically. I laughed slightly. He always apologized for the stupidest things. “It’s okay Matt, I’ll see you soon” I then hung up the phone and waited for him. It didn’t take long for him to pull into the driveway. I smiled and gave him a wave, before opening the backseat door for Alexis. Once she was in and buckled, I got in and smiled at Matt. “You ready?” I asked him.

Later that night

Alexis was at her grandparents' house, and Brian was enjoying the party that we had thrown him. I’d say that our house was completely filled with people. Most of them I didn’t even know, I hadn’t really met any of Brian’s friends, other than the guys from the band. But it seemed like everything was going well so far. I couldn’t quite find the guest of honor though. I walked over to his mom and tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention. “Have you seen Brian?” I shouted over the music.

“Last time I saw him he was heading upstairs!” She shouted back before turning around and talking to some random person. I sighed and made my way upstairs, the music was a little quieter up here than it was downstairs. I vaguely heard the sound of a girl laughing and then his voice. Oh please god, tell me this wasn’t happening. Please tell me that he wasn’t cheating on me. Not after everything I did for him. I was going to surprise him with something he never would have thought would happen, but now...I wasn’t sure if I wanted to. I slowly opened the door. “Brian.,” I said, I looked up to see him kissing a girl who was half naked on our bed. My heart dropped to my stomach and tears instantly began to form in my eyes. I left the room, not bothering to close the door. I ran down the steps and pushed my way through the crowd of people, tears running down my cheeks. I made my way outside, the cool night air hitting me, How could he do this to me? I paced back and forth on our sidewalk, tears rolling down my cheeks. This always happened to me. I hated this. I let out a scream, I was so hurt inside and out. I felt like I just got hit by a Mac Truck. How could he do this to me..to our daughter? I should have known better than to throw a party. Matt had told me what he was like before he met me. I sunk to the ground and curled up in a ball, crying my eyes out. This hurt me so bad.

Brian

Somehow I had found myself in bed with Michelle, Valary’s sister. I was honestly so surprised on how this happened, but what did happen was amazing. “You need to go,” I said to her, climbing out of the bed. I began to put my clothes back on. “What do you mean I have to go?” she said confused. I bet if I turned around to look at her, she would be propped up on her elbows, staring at me.

“I have a wife remember?” I said to her “This is no different than any other time that we’ve fucked. Get out of my bed, go enjoy the party.” I said. I walked to the bathroom that had been attached to our bedroom, I had been hooking up with Michelle for months now. Six to be exact. I loved Robyn, I did, I just wasn’t attracted to her anymore. She was pretty, yeah, but she wasn’t hot enough that she turned me on. Especially after having our daughter. She just didn’t look pretty anymore. She looked run down, tired, old, she looked too much like a mom and that turned me off.

I made my way downstairs, the party was still alive and kicking, and wasn’t going to die down for a few hours. I walked over to the drink table and poured myself a glass of whiskey. I looked around to see if I could find Robyn anywhere and when I couldn’t I made my way to the backyard. I finished my drink and set the empty glass down on the table on the patio. “Robyn!” I called out, When I couldn’t find her, I made my way around the house and found her sitting on the ground infront of our house. Dear god I hoped that she didn’t see Michelle and I.
“Hey..Babe, what’s wrong?” I asked her in a comforting tone as I helped her off of the ground. “How could you?” She whispered, looking up at me, her brown eyes filled with tears and hurt.

Robyn

“How could you?” I whispered quietly as the tears rolled down my cheeks. “What are you talking about baby?” he said, pretending to be all concerned, like he actually cared. “How could you!” I screamed at him, slapping him across the face. That completely shocked him, I could tell that it did, I had never once slapped him or yelled at him.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” he yelled at me. “What is wrong with me?” I hissed at him “what’s wrong with you! You’re the one who cheated, I saw you in bed with that whore! You cheated on me and you’re acting like it never even happened. What the hell is wrong with you!” I yelled.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“So those lipstick marks all over your neck and lips just appeared magically?” I snapped at him. “You fucked up big time Brian. Not that it will matter now, but I’m pregnant. I just thought you should know. But since you’re too busy fucking whores all the damn time, I don’t expect you to care!” I felt the tears roll down my cheeks as I looked up at him, his eyes widened whenever he heard what I just said. “That’s right. You heard me. I’m pregnant. But that doesn’t matter right now. How long have you been cheating on me?” I asked.

“That was the only time” he said quietly. “You were always such a shitty liar Brian, How. Long?” I snapped, getting angry with him. “Six months” he said, looking away from me. “Of course. Why didn’t I figure it out sooner. I fucking hate you Brian. I hate you. You can say goodbye to me, because tomorrow, I’m packing Alexis and I’s things, and we will be gone. I am filing for a divorce as soon as possible. Fuck you and your money. I hope you and your whore have a nice life together” I snapped, storming away from him. How could he hurt me like this? How could he do this to our daughter?
