Tyler and I walked into the apartment a little while later. He disappeared down to the bedroom. He was quiet on the drive back and I wanted to give him some time. I knew his heart was breaking again. Sarah told me he all but fell apart when the baby was born and he realized it wasn’t his child. I couldn’t even begin to imagine what that feeling feels like. I set off for the kitchen and made us some sandwiches and coffee. When I had everything set out on the table and Tyler still hadn’t come out of the bedroom, I went in search of him.

I opened the bedroom door to an empty room. I walked into the bathroom and it was empty. I walked all around the apartment and I couldn’t find him anywhere. Where could he have gone? I didn’t hear the front door open and close. I pulled my phone out and hit send.

“What up?” She answered.

“Is Tyler down there? I can’t find him anywhere.”

Sarah yelled for Decker and asked him if Tyler was there. When I heard Decker respond no, I was starting to worry. Where could he have gone?

“Sarah, court didn’t go good. I mean we knew the baby wasn’t his, but I think hearing it finally, with actual proof, it really hurt him. He hasn’t said a word since we left the courthouse. And now…now I can’t find him.”

She ran through all the rooms with me again as I made my way around the apartment. As I got back to the master bedroom she told me to check the master closet. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before, they were like rooms all on their own. I opened the door to the first walk-in closet, the one that I have been using to hang my clothes when I stay here and found it empty. Walking to the second closet, the one Tyler uses, I slowly opened the door. I could hear Sarah calling my name as the phone slid from my hand onto the floor. The sight before me just broke me.

Tyler was in the closet. His back was to me as he sat on his knees. His shoulders and head slumped forward. He was broken. I walked up to him and kneeled down behind him. Wrapping my arms around his body I felt him shake. Holy fuck the man was crying.

“I knew she wasn’t mine the second I saw her,” he whispered barely loud enough for me to hear. “But hearing the results, that just made everything, her cheating, the lies, the betrayal, it just made it all real. Made it look like I was stupid and a sucker.”

I slid around his body until I was kneeling in front of him. I lifted his face with my hands. I waited until his electric eyes were looking at me. I wanted to cry just for the dullness that I saw in them. I wanted to cry for the ache in his heart that I could feel.
