Commotion

I look up

 I see my boyfriend/ex boyfriend standing by the door.

He says "Come here"

I think for a minute...

I stand up and walk that way.

As I pass my crush, we lock eyes as I swallow the lump in my throat. I'm carrying my son on my hip in front of my entire staff of co-worker. Needless to say I am distraught.

I round the corner, and see his face up close for the first time all day.

I could see anger and stress...

But under it all, I saw hurt.

A questions and comments later, and I tried to hide in the bathroom with my son. I didn't want to fight in front of him. I stood in front of the door holding it shut. As my ex pushed on the door.

The supervisor runs out into the lobby to see what the commotion was.

He tells my ex to move away from the door, and lures me back to his office where the ex is not allowed.

I sit in a chair close enough to the door that I can still hear what is going on, but he cant see me.

My crush comes in the back door and sits by me. We do not speak but I am most certain that we are thinking the same thing.

The Supervisor came back to his office. He knew something was up. He said "Your wife is here, and she is not leaving with out a fight."

I was not mad. Not angry at all. I was confused. I didn't want to be in this position. I tried to avoid my feelings and I tried to move forward with my life and keep my job.

My Crush convinced me that he wouldn't let anything happen to me. He would walk me out to the car with my son.

My ex finally left, but she didn't. She wanted me. I didn't blame her. I was wrecking her marriage. destroying her life.

She waited for about 30 minutes. I believe she didn't know I had my son with me. I mean, what was I supposed to do, put my 5 month old down on the floor and go fight the wife?

We promised each other we wouldn't.

The police showed up.

They noticed the ex parked across the street, waiting for closing time. The cops scared him off.

Finally, It was over.

I went home. I told my ex that I called the police, and they were going to circle my home overnight to make sure he didn't come back.

My crush went with his friend, to avoid going home.

All I wanted in the world was for him to come to my house to hold me.

I had classes the next morning. Finals to be exact.

The next day was a manager's meeting at work, It was our day off so I was at home.

This day would change our lives...
