poisonbitterswt (5:03:24 PM): (I think Nix should find out ;))
poisonbitterswt (5:06:39 PM): I came into the house, dropping down my bags and calling out your name.
x cutoutkid (5:07:09 PM): [avery and cai?]
poisonbitterswt (5:07:25 PM): (Yep.)
x cutoutkid (5:07:42 PM): [oki] Half-awake, I curled up closer to Avery.
poisonbitterswt (5:10:44 PM): "Well, welcome home, Nix." I muttered to myself, heading down the hall. "Cai? Av...?'
x cutoutkid (5:13:47 PM): I blinked my eyes awake, rubbing them and not sure what had woken me up.
poisonbitterswt (5:14:59 PM): "Hellooo? What the fuck....isn't anyone home?"
x cutoutkid (5:15:48 PM): "Fuck." Muttering under my breath, I got out of the bed, thankfully clothed.
poisonbitterswt (5:16:37 PM): "Av...?" I came to his room, knocking a bit.
x cutoutkid (5:17:05 PM): [so theyre in averys room?]
poisonbitterswt (5:18:27 PM): (Sure? lol)
x cutoutkid (5:19:30 PM): "He's in here." I stuck my head out the door, my heart slamming in my chest.
poisonbitterswt (5:20:24 PM): I rose a brow, looking at you. "What are you doing in there?"
x cutoutkid (5:21:05 PM): [hes in their room. hes gonna do this...] "He fell asleep last night... guess I did too..." A small shrug.
poisonbitterswt (5:21:31 PM): "He fell asleep in our room?"
x cutoutkid (5:22:20 PM): "Yeah. We were watching a movie." Another small shrug.
poisonbitterswt (5:22:44 PM): "Right then."I nodded and went to get my bag.
x cutoutkid (5:23:52 PM): I had to keep myself breathing a sigh of relief. [maybe he'll notice some warming liquid gone... because they finished it up... and things not where they belong]
poisonbitterswt (5:25:48 PM): (Heheh *snicker*) Getting my bag, I headed into the bedroom past him, and saw Avery curled up there.
x cutoutkid (5:27:30 PM): I scratched myhead and swallowed, following him.
poisonbitterswt (5:29:39 PM): Setting my bag down on the chair in there, I noticed how "ruffled" Avery looked, shirt ascue. Then my eyes darted around the bed, and the pillows that had been thrown aside. For all intents and purposes, it really didn't look like people had just been watching movies in here.
x cutoutkid (5:30:28 PM): A yawn and I sat down on the edge of the bed, "How was your trip?"
poisonbitterswt (5:31:35 PM): I looked to him and eyed him a bit. "It was work."
x cutoutkid (5:32:32 PM): "Sounds incredibly interesting." A little grin.
poisonbitterswt (5:33:59 PM): I rose a brow. "Oh yeah. Loads."I undid my tie, then went over to Avery, about to scoop him up to put him in his room. "No, Cai...I'm still tired..." I rose my brows, looking to you.
x cutoutkid (5:35:01 PM): Another little shrug, "Too used to me waking him up I guess..." I leaned over, "Av, your dads home."
poisonbitterswt (5:40:13 PM): I looked down, Avery blinking open his eyes and staring up at me a little groggily. "Hey there, I'm gonna put you in your room, okay?" He simply nodded.
x cutoutkid (5:41:30 PM): I chewed my lip and watched him go.
poisonbitterswt (5:47:24 PM): I carried Avery to his room, laying him down and then coming back to our room. I shut the door and stared at Caiden.
x cutoutkid (5:59:20 PM): I was stretched out on the bed, still sl eepy.
poisonbitterswt (6:01:29 PM): "So...you have fun?"
x cutoutkid (6:06:07 PM): "mm... with what?"
poisonbitterswt (6:09:16 PM): "With my son."
x cutoutkid (6:10:22 PM): "Oh... we went shopping... and he made me go with him to the planetarium."
poisonbitterswt (6:15:00 PM): I narrowed my eyes a bit. "That isn't...what I meant."
x cutoutkid (6:15:41 PM): I furrowed my brows, "er.. we got icecream, too?"
poisonbitterswt (6:20:59 PM): I shook my head. "So where'd the hickey come from? And the way he looked like he had a right good fuck? And our bed sure looks really slept in. And did I not mention the empty bottle of lube in the trash?"
x cutoutkid (6:24:54 PM): I quirked my eyebrow, "How should I know? I wasn't here most of yesterday."
poisonbitterswt (6:30:05 PM): My eyes only narrowed more as I went over to him and touched his neck. "I meant...the hickey...on you.'
x cutoutkid (6:31:38 PM): I swallowed a bit and moved away from his touch, "Oh... I don't know... maybe its a bruise?" I really couldn't cover it up...
poisonbitterswt (6:33:29 PM): My lip curled up into a sneer. "Is that the best you've got? That it might be a fucking bruise?"
x cutoutkid (6:34:25 PM): I sat up finally, looking at him, "well I don't know, Nix."
poisonbitterswt (6:36:50 PM): "Yes, you do fucking know. Don't lie to me, Caiden."
x cutoutkid (6:38:21 PM): I tried my best to get out of it. Should I say it wasn't Avery? It was my only bet, "It wasn't him..."
poisonbitterswt (6:39:32 PM): There was a darkened look about my eyes and I snatched him up by his collar. "Do you think I'm stupid?"
x cutoutkid (6:43:17 PM): "N-No..." My eyes flashed fright and I looked at him, "It wasn't him."
x cutoutkid (6:44:03 PM): [remember i was like "maybe hell say it was a guy at work and when avery comes to visit maybe nix catchs them"]
poisonbitterswt (6:45:50 PM): (oh yeah...okay ;)) I tossed him back down onto the bed. "I leave and you fucking cheat on me."
x cutoutkid (6:48:20 PM): "i didn't... we made out... that was it..." I bit on my lip. "But the warming liquid... that was me... jerking off."
x cutoutkid (6:49:58 PM): "I'm sorry... it was just... it was at the office..."
poisonbitterswt (6:55:25 PM): I shook my head. "You're sorry? You're SORRY?! I'
poisonbitterswt (6:55:43 PM): ve never EVER thought of cheating on you! Not in 11 FUCKING YEARS!"
x cutoutkid (6:56:06 PM): "I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT CHEATNIG ON YOU! IT JUST HAPPENED!"
poisonbitterswt (6:57:04 PM): "And that makes it better?! GET OUT, Caiden!"
x cutoutkid (6:57:41 PM): I scowled and found my jeans doing them up. Phase one over: get kicked out of the house.
poisonbitterswt (7:00:49 PM): I stood there, shaking with anger and an overwhelming sadness.
x cutoutkid (7:02:13 PM): I looked down at my hand, realizing my wedding ring wasn't even there to get back. i shoved a few things into a bag and put it over my shoulder, walking past Avery's door and seeing him peek out.
x cutoutkid (7:05:53 PM): give-
poisonbitterswt (7:09:14 PM): I sat on the edge of my bed, tears in my eyes and closed them tightly, head in my hands.
x cutoutkid (7:09:33 PM): I stopped half-way down the hall, looking at him.
poisonbitterswt (7:10:35 PM): Avery's eyes were filled with tears. He mouthed, "I'm sorry..."
x cutoutkid (7:11:13 PM): I shook my head and swallowed a little, putting an arm around him for a hug..
poisonbitterswt (7:14:50 PM): He clung to you for a moment, trying not to cry.
x cutoutkid (7:15:19 PM): "I'll call you... ok?" I hugged him tighter.
poisonbitterswt (7:18:59 PM): "Okay..."he whispered, shaking a bit as he slowly backed away.
x cutoutkid (7:21:09 PM): A light, short kiss on the cheek and I looked down the hallway, biting my lip as I walked away.
poisonbitterswt (7:22:31 PM): He stumbled back into his room, shutting the door, and in my bedroom I had collapsed into tears.
x cutoutkid (7:23:20 PM): I couldn't walk out the door, I stood there in the living. My living room. My house. Our house...
poisonbitterswt (7:26:32 PM): The tears just kept coming in torrents. He'd cheated on me. After all we'd been through. Everything I'd done for him. 11 years and he'd cheated.
x cutoutkid (7:27:21 PM): [crumble] I looked at a picture frame on the mantle... all three of us together... and shoved it into my bag. I opened the door and stepped outside, slamming it shut.
poisonbitterswt (7:28:06 PM): I heard the slam and it broke me. I slid down to the end of the bed, sobs wracking my body and letting out a wail.
x cutoutkid (7:29:26 PM): [avery: eep lmao] I didn't look up at the house even when I backed out of the driveway, tossing the bag into the sideseat.
poisonbitterswt (7:30:24 PM): I didn't know what to do. All I could do was crumple there, crying. I felt defeated. Like Fate had finally kicked me in the ass.
x cutoutkid (7:32:15 PM): I drove away, fingers trembling but not crying... yet. I got a room at a hotel and slumped into the bed, grabbing my phone.
poisonbitterswt (7:33:22 PM): Avery listened to his dad cry and felt guilt sink in. He went to his window-seat, curled up on it, and closed his eyes tightly.
x cutoutkid (7:34:25 PM): Avery's cell was the first one in my book. I pressed it and waited.
poisonbitterswt (7:36:07 PM): His head shot up when his cell phone rang and he lunged for it, picking it up. "Ello?"
x cutoutkid (7:36:40 PM): "H-Hey..."
poisonbitterswt (7:42:51 PM): "Cai..."His voice broke a little and he held back a cry.
x cutoutkid (7:45:07 PM): "I know... I know..." My voice trailed, "I don't know what to do..."
poisonbitterswt (7:50:11 PM): His lower lip trembled and he bit it. "I don't want you gone..."he said mournfully.
x cutoutkid (7:52:25 PM): I didn't want to either... "But I... I can't be there... you know that... I'm not gone... I'm still here... just a car drive away."
poisonbitterswt (7:58:35 PM): He clamped his lips together and let out a little sigh. "I know...."
x cutoutkid (7:59:12 PM): "Im sorry, Av..."
poisonbitterswt (7:59:48 PM): He closed his eyes and just held the phone there for a moment. "So am I"
x cutoutkid (8:02:35 PM): "It isn't your fault... its mine for letting it happen.
poisonbitterswt (8:03:15 PM): He suddenly went quiet and just sat there.
x cutoutkid (8:04:35 PM): "And now I fucked up... I fucked up the whole family..." My voice was saddened, tears finally coming.
poisonbitterswt (8:06:32 PM): He didn't know what to say. He felt tears in his eyes. Knew Caiden was crying too, and his heart fell into his stomach.
x cutoutkid (8:07:39 PM): "M-Maybe you can come visit me... later.."
poisonbitterswt (8:15:18 PM): He swallowed a bit. He could see that one going over well. "Er...maybe.."
x cutoutkid (8:16:28 PM): "I mean maybe... if you tell him you're going over one of your friends..."
poisonbitterswt (8:16:44 PM): "Yeah...I can do that...I guess."
x cutoutkid (8:24:30 PM): "You guess?" I bit on my lip, feeling heartbroken.
poisonbitterswt (8:25:04 PM): "I meant...that it'll be hard to lie to my dad...not that I don't want to see you, Cai."
x cutoutkid (8:27:00 PM): "You're already lying to him." I shut the phone and threw it down.
poisonbitterswt (8:28:26 PM): He sat there, dialtone ringing in his ear and shoulders slumped. And he cried. Throwing the phone across the room, he curled up on the seat.
x cutoutkid (8:33:42 PM): Shoving it off the bed with my foot... I closed my eyes as they blurred.
poisonbitterswt (8:35:22 PM): He fell asleep there, curled up to a pillow, no longer hearing his dad crying across the hall.
x cutoutkid (8:35:41 PM): I didn't fall asleep... the last thing I was was tired.
poisonbitterswt (8:36:50 PM): (ummmm....don't know what to do now)
x cutoutkid (8:37:21 PM): [ummm skippin?]
