Chapter Eighteen

Terrance

Love is . . . when you turned her heart into your home, and you make her your wife because she’s priceless . . .

The morning sun percolating brightly through the windows of my truck had woken me up. I had fallen asleep in the front seat, with my head slumped against the window. I was parked near the park, and I slept underneath the stars. I yawned and looked around me. It was still early and warm, looking like it was going to be another peaceful and warm summer day. But I felt no peace in my life. I had cried myself to sleep last night.

Last night with Sophia was tragic. I had to leave the house urgently before I did something that I was going to regret. I knew she was lying to me. Something wasn’t right. But it was still hard for me to swallow that she wanted a divorce. That pain I felt, knowing she was with someone else and wasn’t in love with me anymore, felt never-ending. I couldn’t get rid of it, and seeing her always made it worse. I was emotional. I was an absolute wreck.

God, why was this happening to me?

I wanted to get as far away from Sophia as possible.

I was the best man I could be for my wife. When she became pregnant, I didn’t miss one appointment with her at the ob-gyn. I would sit there with her and wait for what felt like forever. I was there for her first sonogram and making runs to different stores late at night to satisfy her cravings. And I was there through the mood swings and the nervous temperament. And when she went into labor, I was there right by her side, doing my best to appease her and hold her hand, and help her get through the birth of our first child.

I was there through her unemployment and funerals, and her ups and downs, and whatever life tossed our way. Seven years together, and I was always there—until now, when she didn’t want me there anymore. When she didn’t need me. And now she wanted to throw me away, for what or who? Would they be there like me?

I should’ve stayed single. Maybe Ash was on to something.

I had to go somewhere and talk to someone. I knew I couldn’t ride around in my truck all day. I picked up my phone and dialed Devin’s number. Though we had our differences sometimes, we understood each other.

It was early Saturday morning, and I figured he would still be in bed. His cell phone went to voicemail, but his home phone was the one he finally answered.

I heard a faint, “Hello?”

“Devin, hey.”

“Terrance, what’s up? You know what time it is?”

“I just need to talk,” I said.

“What’s going on?”

“I had another fight with Sophia. I think she’s fucking someone else,” I admitted.

“What?”

“I’m fucked up, man. I slept in my truck all night,” I said.

“Come to my house. We’ll talk,” he said.

I sighed. “A’ight.
