Gunslingers

"Married? You're fucking married?" Brian kept asking this as if Matt's answer was somehow going to change. To be fair to Brian though, Matt had just dropped the bombshell of all bombshells on us.

Somehow, some way, this stupid man had managed to fuck over his then fiancee and marry a woman who kept fucking him up in the same god damn day. How he managed to keep making his life a living fucking hell was beyond me.

"Why didn't you get it annulled?" Johnny asked. Of all of us, he had remained the most calm. Brooks just looked confused. The poor man didn't know the mess he was getting into. I thought we had finally put the Rae shit behind us, but this fucking bitch kept popping up. I used to like her, but now, I wanted her gone.

"She said she did," Matt said, looking down at his hands. "What am I supposed to do? I'm her emergency contact. Her mom and dad died last year, and her sisters are all over the world with their own families and careers. Am I just supposed to leave her in fucking Germany scared and alone? SHE LOST HER LEG!"

I sighed. "Matt... you cannot get dragged back in with this woman. She has been fucking up your life since 2003. You can leave her alone. Annul the marriage."

Matt's eyes met mine. This was the first time in years I had seen this kind of anger brimming in them. He looked like he had after Jimmy's death. "You know, Zack, the thing with emotions is I can't just turn them off. I can't just make myself stop feeling love for her. We have fucking history. And I'm pretty sure we can't get the stupid marriage annulled since we fucked and made a god damn life."

"Which she aborted." Brian whispered. "So divorce her instead."

Brooks' head popped up at them. "Okay, wow there is a lot of history here. From what I am gleaming from the four of you randomly putting in tidbits of information, there is a woman that Matt is in love with. I'm assuming she's some sort of military personnel since she lost a leg. Now, she's in Germany and Matt is her emergency contact because you guys had a drunken night after the Rev died and married. Then somehow you guys had sex and created a life which she aborted. I'm assuming that's so she could go to war?"

Matt nodded. "There's more."

"What fucking more could there be!" I was at a point of not caring anymore. "What the fuck else could Rae have god damn done?"

"The guys who came to me said she was pregnant when they brought her in."

All of our eyes popped out. Johnny was the first to recover, before even Brooks did. "I thought she had an abortion."

Matt's eyes shone with unshed tears. "So did I."

Brooks looked at all of us. "Matt, book five tickets. We're all going to Germany."

Notes

Update, short, but more to come. My Wi-Fi has been off and on all week. I have also had a terrible fucking week involving so much shit...

Also, if anyone wants to hear me vent, just shoot me a message... cause my brain cannot wrap around love life bullshit.

Anyway, thoughts?
