Walking into the house was like a green light for my emotions to let loose. I threw my purse on the coffee table and collapsed onto couch. The knot in my throat was making it hard to breathe through my constant sniffles. Fred had broken my heart, but it was my fault. I hurt him first. Now he and I would never be the same again.

I closed my eyes, hoping sleep would overtake me and I'd wake up in a different reality. The sound of my cellphone buzzing reminded me that I didn't return the phone call to Chris. Thinking it was him, I grabbed my phone to see that it was a number that I didn't have saved. 

"Hello?"

"Vanessa?"

The sound of the familiar voice immediately made me sit up on the couch, "this is she, who is this?"

"Kimberly."

I wiped the tears from my eyes, "how did you get my number?"

"That doesn't matter, I need to talk to you, woman to woman."

"I have nothing to say to you! You fucked my husband, then have the audacity to come to my yoga class. You're crazy! Don't call me ever again!"

I quickly ended the call. Who did she think she was calling my phone? The real question was why?  I was about to press Chris' name to call him, Kim's number flashed on my screen again.

"What don't you understand about not calling me again?!" I yelled.

She was quiet for a second, "I'm pregnant."

"Well, congratulations. Remember I saw you at my class. I don't care."

She laughed, "you should, because Chris is the father..."

She hung up before I could respond. Not that I could form any words right now anyway. I called Chris multiple times to no avail. Negative thoughts raced through my mind. Why is she calling me now? Chris told me he stopped sleeping with her a long time ago. Then again, why would she lie?

I went into the kitchen to pour some cold water, feeling like my body was going to overheat from all the anger and frustration. Hearing the sound of keys clinging together, I ran to the dining room to sit down. Turning the chair towards the door, I sat back with my arms folded doing my best to contain myself. Chris had a lot of explaining to do.
