Prologue
In every life there is always that one moment that defines the before and after. This was mine.
When I found them I didn't scream, I just stood there and let something die quietly inside me. It took them 5 whole minutes to notice someone was standing at the doorway, and when they finally did, they were speechless for just a few seconds before the girl began scrambling to get her clothes and put them on.
"B-b-babe, I can explain"
He quickly got up, put on his pants and rushed to stand before me. He started rambling on about something, but I just couldn't bere to hear it at the moment so I just turned and head towards the door.
" Wait! Val, just listen to me! "
He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.
"I don't have a single word to say to you! And sure as hell I'm not gonna stand here and listen to a word you have to say! I saw everything I needed to know."
I freed myself from his grip and left his apartment.
Tears started forming in my eyes and running down my face as I was hurrying down the stairs and I thought about my life and how the hell I got here.
Jason had been my boyfriend for exactly 5 years, today was our anniversary, which made this even worse. I was supposed to go on a work trip and be gone until tomorrow, but I wanted to surprise him, so I left early. I had gone home, dressed up and did my best makeup, which was now a complete mess running down my face. I had also a bought cake, which I just threw in the trash can. And it was also his favorite, 7 later chocolate covered with sprinkles. I went through all that effort for him and for what? Only to find out he was cheating one me with some girl.
Note to self: Next time you trust a man, don't
