Like a Wave

Chapter 26: Trouble in Paradise

Ten days later:

I wake up to my phone blowing up. I have messages from like fifteen people and links to click on. I groggily click the link, and pictures start appearing.

The pictures I see absolutely break me. Jordan dancing and kissing on Evelyn in a bar. He was all over her. 

I start crying, sobbing hard, just as someone knocks on my door. I open the door, and there stands Allison, Sharon, Chris, and Dave.

Sharon and Allison wrap their arms around me, and I just sob uncontrollably. "Why would he do this? With her while I am at home taking care of our kids, his kids.

"I don't know, sweetie. Mom has been trying to call him for a couple of hours," Sharon said.

"From what we read, this happened two days ago when he was in Philidelphia. He didn't say anything to you? Chris asked."  

"No, when I talked to him last night, he said he was bored. He had gone out the night before to a bar, had a few drinks and returned to the bus."

"He's an asshole for cheating on you with Evie. At the same time, you are being his wife, staying home, and raising your kids. He goes out and pulls this shit." Dave said, exasperated.

"I just can't believe it. I woke up to my phone going off and saw these."

"Has he tried to call you?" Allison asked.

"No, I don't think so. Either way, I'm not talking to him right now."

"Look, when you don't answer, he will fly in. He's going to come straight here. I have a house that is fully furnished; you and the kids can stay there if you want until you are ready to talk to him," Dave stated.

"Really, Dave?"

"Yes, really. You married my brother, and you are the mother to my niece and nephews. You are family, and we take care of family."

"Thank you. I will need help getting mine and the kid's stuff moved there. I will need to get the power and stuff on."

"Chris and I will get everything you want moved, and power and water are already on in my name. I will also get cable and internet turned on for you."

"Thank you all so much. I really appreciate this. If any of you talked to Jordan, just tell him to stay on tour. Not to bother calling me or coming home because I am no longer here. I will contact him when I am ready to talk. Tell him the is the least he can do after breaking my heart."

Sharon and Allison helped me pack my clothes and the kid's clothes. The guys went and got moving boxes; they loaded all the kid's toys and stuff I needed. They even took the bed in our room and loaded it on the truck. They moved the bed from the guest room he stayed in that one time, and I wrote a letter to Jordan. I laid it down and locked the house up.  

Four hours later, we were being driven to the home Dave said I could stay in. The guys unloaded the bed and all the boxes while Sharon and Allison helped unpack. Dave and Chris went to the store to get groceries and dishes. The stuff I would need. I gave them our credit card.

Jordan had been calling me for the last two hours. I finally handed the phone to Sharon. 

"Hello."

"Where is Brittney, Sharon?"

"Brittney doesn't want to talk to you, J. She is pissed, and rightfully so."

"I was drunk. I don't even remember seeing Evie. Only the pictures, for all I know they, could be photoshopped. I could have been drugged. I really don't remember much from that night."
