ISAAC

Life without Lauren wasn’t living. I wasn’t even existing. I hadn’t been to work since she left me. I hadn’t showered and I had barely eaten.

Just one conversation. That’s all I need to fix the destruction I caused.

To be honest, I hadn’t slept in days. Without Lauren at our house, I couldn’t rest. The bed was empty without her. The house was void of any feeling without her laughter and her smile and her scent.

Lauren was what made our house a home and now, it was just an empty space that made me feel lonely.

After hundreds of unreturned texts and calls, Cole finally agreed to meet up with me. While Lauren was still ignoring me and avoiding me at all costs, Cole was the one who finally called me back.

“I will give you an hour, Isaac. After that, if I don’t like what I hear, I will leave,” Cole said in a flat tone.

It made me shiver to hear the ice in his voice. Cole was like my brother. We were family. However, right now we felt more like enemies.

“I swear Cole. An hour is all I need. I will get you to trust me again. I will get Lauren to talk to me again. I just need you to see me and hear me out face to face,” I pleaded.

I could hear Cole sighing as he thought everything over.

“I hope you are right man. Because if you aren’t, you just threw away your family and the best woman that ever walked into your life,” Cole said. “Meet me at Wild Thing’s at nine tonight. I won’t lie to Lauren though, if she asks me anything I will tell her the truth,” Cole finished.

“I know. Just tell me one thing,” I began. “Is Lauren alright?”

“She’s living with me and Mel. She just had her entire world slipped out from beneath her. Damn man, she is destroyed. She is hurt. She is angry. I love you, Isaac. But, if you hurt her any more than you have, I will kick your ass,” Cole seethed.

“I deserve that,” I said.

Hearing that Lauren was hurting killed me. I knew she was upset, but to actually hear someone confirm my worst fears was like a stab to the heart.

“You are right. You do. Nine tonight,” Cole said before the hung up.

I sat on the couch, holding the phone in my hands long after he hung up. I couldn’t sleep in the bed, not without Lauren.

Hopefully, tonight she would be back here with me and everything would finally be right in the world.
