Chapter 5:

Today

“When I woke up a few hours later, I think it must have been around 4 pm… he was gone.”

“What?! He left?”

“Yes, he packed up and left. I mean… he probably didn’t even pack up… I remember seeing a bag on the couch when I entered the room. It was so dark in there and I was so, hum, distracted, I’m not sure… The important is, when I woke up, he was gone.”

You say as you stand up and walk to the window. You don’t want your friend to see the tears forming in yours eyes.

“What a bastard!”

“It’s alright. It’s not like I was expecting a marriage proposal. I knew it would be like this… but I felt odd the same way. As stupid as it may sound… I felt like I was missing something. Like that room wasn’t the only thing empty… I was empty too.”

Your friend manages to get up from the couch and walks over to where you are.

“Look at me.” She says placing one hand under your chin and forcing you to look at her.

“It was better this way. Apparently this guy was no good and you might just feel glad he left. God knows what he could have done if he had stayed…” she says trying to reason what you have just told her.

You look away and out of the window.

When you don’t say anything, she continues.

“You have a beautiful boy and even though that scum of your ex-husband is no good for anything, he made you happy… a little at least… This guy was just an adventure…”

“I saw him again yesterday.” You cut her off not being able to hold anything any longer.

No matter what the consequences might be, you need to talk. You need to tell someone the truth… the WHOLE truth…

“I see… what happened?”

“You know we always go to the park on sundays… well, he showed up. Out of nowhere… he just appeared in front of me. I recognized him but, at the same time, I didn’t recognize him…”

“What???”

“I was sitting by a tree, reading a book and he just stood there in front of me. He looked so different… his hair is shorter and lighter and he let grow a beard. But I just knew it was him…”

“And what happened?”

“We talked a little and I left.”

“Well… I guess you won’t see him again then.” She says looking out of the window.

“It’s Gerard Butler.” You say throwing a quick glance at her.

She looks at you opened mouthed.

“You mean… the actor? From that movie that is going to premier friday?… The Phantom of the Opera?”

“Yes… I just found out who he was three days after I slept with him. I saw his picture in a magazine. He wasn’t so famous back then, so I didn’t recognize him immediatly.”

“Oh God… But there wasn’t any major consequence right? I mean, he probably slept with many women around the world, but he didn’t pass anything on to you… you used protection didn’t you?”

“No, I didn’t…” you say looking to the ground.”

“Well, but if he had some sort of disease you would have known by now.” She laughs nervously and adds “Why do you think he came talk to you?”

“I don’t know, but I’m terrified…”

“But, why would you…”

You don’t let her finish as you turn around to face her.

“The day I had sex with him… I got pregnant…”
