Another week has passed. The situation has calmed down and I haven't heard from Nick ever since what happened. He kept his promise. Keenan was there for me the whole time.

But his mood changed drastically two days ago. He has gotten mad about everything, frustrated and didn't talk much. I tried to ask him what is wrong but he just told me to leave it and that he is fine.

I fell asleep once again while watching a movie with him and get woken up by the door of the apartment being opened. He grabs a jacket from the hanger next to the door and leaves.

He didn't even take his phone with him because it is laying next to mine on the sofa. I just want him to tell me about his issues like I do with him. Should I go after him?

That would probably be possessive. He will come back when he wants to. Maybe he's visiting Adriana..

I get up fron the sofa, close the window that is standing wide open as I look down and see him driving out of the parking lot and disappears... He is so frustrating... I get myself an apple from the kitchen and get back to watch the movie and try to get my mind off of things.

Him waking me up this time is way louder. He slams his fists against the door instead of unlocking if right away. So I get over to the door and open it only for him to fall against me. The smell of alcohol immediately catches my nose.

Keenan just tries to get his balance back and then takes out his car keys to put it on the counter next to us. "You drove here?" God I hope he didn't. "I did." He answers me, gets to the kitchen and opens the bottle of tequila that has been there for god knows how long.

I rush to him, take it out of his hands and drown the liquid down the sink as he watches me. "Are you fucking crazy?! What are you doing?" He tries to grab the bottle but due to his condition right now it's easy to shove him away.

I put the bottle down on the counter and look at him. "You just leave without telling me, then you get fucking drunk and drive home by yourself to bring you and other people on the streets in danger! How old are you, four?!"

He just stares down at the floor and I don't know why but he's crying. "Well that's what I do, Gia." He's not making any sense anymore. So I grab him and get up to his bedroom. "You're talking shit, Keenan."

"I'm just driving... nothing else." He says over and over again. And as soon as he is in bed, ge tries to pull me down to him. "No. I'm driving home now. Call me when you're sober again."

Is the last thing I say before I turn off the lights and walk down. As I get down the stairs I get the idea to bring a book from the library with me but then see the door opposite of the one I actually wanted to enter.

I know that it is his office and that it is always locked. He told me to never enter this room. And I always did what he said. But right now I just feel the urge to look what's inside.

So I turn the key and open the door. What I see simply feels like I just received a punch in the gut. It hurts. God, it hurts so much.

I get into the room and close the door behind me to have a look at the pictures. They're all pictures of him and a woman. A pretty woman.

It looks like they have been taken a few years ago because Keenan looks a little younger on them. The woman is a blonde, small with brown eyes and a pretty smile.

They're standing in front of the eiffel tower on one picture and in the next they are in wedding dress and wedding suit. A gasp escapes my mouth and the tears wasted no time to appear.

I look at the big wall that is filled with pictures of them. I thought I have seen the worst when I looked at them getting married....

The woman was pregnant.

He is kneeling in front of her as he kisses her belly and she looks down at him with adoration written all over her features.

He looks so happy on these pictures. It breaks me. I'm feeling stupid. I'm feeling like I once again betrayed myself by not stopping this fucking thing with this man as soon as I felt myself falling for him.

And now I see that this man has a whole family.

I need to get out of here.

This day at school has been one of the worst for a long time. And I was so happy when the bell finally rang. I walked down the hall and got pushed into a room that was locked shortly after that. "Why are you ignoring me?" He asks me.

I could start crying by just hearing this voice. So I grab his arm, take the left hand and pull the ring that sits on his ring finger off of it. "What are y- no Gia, don't."

I look on the inside of the ring and found what I was looking for. The name Emma is engraved on it.

They got married six years ago. "I was in your office... what does your wife say about this? About us?" He doesn't answer me. His nostrils become big and he looks really frustrated.

"I can explain. Can we please talk ab-" "Are you still together?" I interrupt him. "No." He answers me. "Do you still love her?" I ask him. I need an answer even tho I already know it. "Yes, but I-"

"Then what do you still want to talk about, Keenan?! Huh?! How dare you asking me to talk about this while you still love your wife and have a whole room filled with pictures of her and you?! How dare you to touch or fuck me with the hand that wears your fucking wedding ring?!"

"Gia please..." I can't let him talk himself out of this situation. I can't hear his excuses... So I just leave.
