My biggest mistake

The move

Charlotte’s POV

Walking back into my apartment I felt like I was in the twilight zone..

Why would David be moving into an apartment? What happened? Why didn’t I know anything about this? I guess I really was out of touch with everything, I’ve had so much going on I haven’t been speaking to anyone much. Taking care of Lee and getting through the day we’re mine main priorities and I didn’t have time for anything else.

When the knock came it felt like my heart was in my throat, I hadn’t been alone with Alex for months because I didn’t trust myself let alone him.

I opened the door to find Alex and David both standing there waiting to come in. What could they possibly have to tell me?

David spoke first, “Hey Char, got any beer?”

God bless, two minutes into my apartment and he was already making himself at home.

“Why are you guys here? What’s going on?” I asked.

Alex sighed looking over to David, asking permission to say what I’m not sure but I knew it couldn’t be good. As Alex opened his mouth to speak David cut him off. “Jill and I are getting a divorce so I moved out and left her with the house.”

That information hit me like a ton of bricks, of all the people in the world I never thought that they would separate. “What happened? I thought you guys were happy?” I asked sympathetically.

Alex was the one who answered “sometimes looks can be deceiving Charlotte.” I’ve never wanted to punch someone In the throat so bad, it was hard to contain myself. But this wasn’t about us, it was about David and Jill. The two people who I thought would make it through anything. David didn’t look distraught though, he looked almost happy to be living by himself. I guess looked really can be deceiving
