āI just wanāt to forget that night ever happenedā
āwell look how that turned out Dakotahā I scream throwing my hands up in the air. āitās over Dakotahā
āfaithā Dakotah yells as I walk away from where he was parked. Grabbing my phone I dial Willyās number. Thankfully he picked up on the second ring.
āelloā
āwillyā I say as my voice cracks. ācan you come pick me upā
Chapter Seven
āyou know heās following us rightā willy asks accelerating onto the speed ramp. I nod as I stare in the sideview mirror.
āyeah I canātstop him from seeing his son, itās not fair to bentlyā I answer putting a Nickelback CD in the player and turning up the volume. I was done talking about him I just needed to get home and see my son, our son. Figure out what Iām going to do cause right now I had no freaking clue.
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
I sang along then look over at willy who was singing alone, and he wasnāt good. he started to laugh and bob his head with the song so I joined him. I laughed even harder when people in the cars passing looked at him and started laughing. When the song was over I turned the volume down.
āif today was your last day how would you spend it?ā
ādo you want the truthā
āof course I doā I laugh looking at him with the well-thatās-a-stupid-question- look.
āIād spend the day with the girl I love doing my two favorite things, drinking beer and sitting by the bondfireā he answers with a goofy smile. He looks at me and shrugs his shoulders. āhow would you spend it?ā
āI honestly donāt know, probably with Bentley and Dakotah telling them how much I loved them and Iād always be there even if my physical body wasnātā I say looking again in the sideveiw mirror. He cheated on me, Dakotah cheated on me who knows how many times. Why do I still want to be with him after that?
āthinking about your mom?ā
āyeah, I just miss her so much more and more everyday sometimes I wish god would just tak me you know so I can be with her again, then I think about the fact sheās kill me when I get up there for leaving Bentley and I canāt help but smileā
āshe was an amazing person fay, I probably would of married her if she was as young as usā he laughs trying to ease the mood. I roll my eyes and turn the radio back up.
āthatās so gross thatās my momā I mumble as never gonna be alone starts to play. I squeal in excitement causing Wily to swerve into the next lane. Instead of being scared I burst out in laughfter.
ācrap faith Iām driving hereā
āgee I havenāt noticedā I say sarcastically punching his shoulder. He rolls his eyes but doesnāt respond so I go back to closing my eyes and letting the music carry me off out of reality even if it only lasted for a few seconds until someone honks and scares the living daylights out of me.
āFaith, faith, faithā willyās voice repeats in my ear.
āyouāre such a freaking creeperā I laugh opening my eyes. damn I must really have deprived my body of sleep the last year. Every chance I got I was out. I hear willy laugh and slam his door shut. I sit up to see a chevron gas station. Willy bends over so his heads sticking into the car.
āyou want anythingā
āmountain Dew and Oreosā I yawn rubbing my eyes.
āokie dokieā he says before walking away. Thatās when I notice Dakotahās truck parked next to us and my heart sinks.
āyou have to talk to him eventuallyā I tell myself looking up at Dakotah and willy, talking. I wonder what they were talking about. They seemed to be really deep in conversation, by dakotahās expression it seem to be heated too. I decide to stop it before one of them starts a scene. I jump out of willyās truck and cross my arms over my chest.
āwilly just hurry up and get the stuff before I start yellingā I say. He starts to say something but stops himself last minute. Instead he nods and goes inside.
I look at Dakotah he was looking at thr ground. He was ashamed and honestly, I didnāt feel bad for him. He should be ashamed of what he did.
āthanksā he mumbles keeping his eyes on the ground.
āI didnāt do it for youā
āFaith-ā
āI love you because youāre the father to my son, but from now on thatās all weāll ever be, parents to a beautiful baby boy.ā
He shakes his head in response, still not bothering to look up.
āno thatās not good enough for me Faith Iāll-ā
āthen you shouldānt have cheated or liedā
āIām going to spend the rest of my life trying to fix it, Iāll never give up on youā
āyouāre wasting your timeā I snap getting frustrated. I was broke, I couldnāt love him anymore it hurt so much to the point I finally broke.
ānot to me itās not-, your worth itā
āwere was this Dakotah when you cheated on meā I snap as my blood starts to boil. Willy comes out and hands me the bag just in time before I started to yell at him.
āthanksā I say giving Willy a smile and going back to the passenger side of his truck. I look back up to see Dakotah staring at me before climbing back into his truck. How could someone be so in love with someone one minute then feeling absolutely nothing for them the next, was I finally done with Dakotah? Were my feelings gone past saving?
āfaith you okay, you look like your puppy died or something?ā willy asks placing one hand on my shoulder.
āIām fineā I lie. Something did die, but it wasnāt a puppy. It was a part of me, the part that gave itself to Dakotah a long time ago. Part of me wished I never found out about the blonde bimbo, whatever her name was, that I never found out about him cheating so I didnāt have to deal with the pain he was causing me. so we could still be together happily so I wouldnāt have to explain to bently why his dad and I werenāt together as he grows up.
But lifeās not fair, and Iād have to deal with the cards Iāve been dealt.
āwhats on your mind faith, ā willy asks as we once again accelerate onto another ramp. I look in the sideview mirror without thinking to catch a glimpse of Dakotahs truck.
So many things were consuming my body at this point. I was so mad at him , while part of me was hurt and another was regretful for walking away this easy, and I was more then anything in pain. This wasnāt how it was supposed to be. He promised me hed never leave, never cheat never do anything to purposely hurt me. he did everything he said he never would.
āwillyā I said trying not to fall apart.
āyeahā
āwas it my fault?ā
āis what your faultā
āis it my fault that were like this, did I do something wrong that made him go and cheat on meā I ask swallowing the lump in my throat. I look over at him, his eyes were filled with sympathy. āwhat did I do that was so wrong?ā I cry wiping my eyes.
āyou didnāt do anything wrong, trust me Faithā he blurts out sounding angry. Did he know something I didnāt? or was he pissed at Dakotah for hurting me the way he did?
I ignored the first idea and made myself believe he was just mad at him for hurting me, after all, did I really want to hear whatever he would say if he id know something. I was so emotional and ivāe cried more times then I have in my life alone in the last two days, my heart was shattered, I couldnāt bare anymore news. Not the bad kind.
My phone beeps destroying my train of thought. I look down and see a text from chris. Holding my breath as I push read message hoping to god it was good news.
You need to hurry.
Thatās all it said my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach and a lump formed in my throat making it hard for me to breath right.
Whats going on is Bentley ok, please chris tell me heās ok.
I send it trying to get myself to catch my breath and breathe right. Not only did I screw up as a girlfriend I screwed up at being a mom. Why did I just leave him in Oregon, my brother having three kids of his ownwas a great father and I trusted him with both Bentley and Iās lives but I shouldnāt have left him. Now heās in the hospital and Iām not there. I couldnāt be a worse mom to him.
Iām sorry faith, heās getting worse the doctors are doing everything they can to help
āpull overā I yell as my stomach flipped. Willy pulls over as quick as he can trying not to hit anyone else in the process. I open the door and run to the grass barely even making it before my breakfast came back up. I hear tires screeching and a door slamming shut.
āfaith whatās wrong, are you hurtā Dakotahs voice booms. Heās by my side within seconds rubbing my back.
āI donāt know what happened Kotah, she just screamed pull overā
āFaith talk to me love what is wrong, please tell me so I can do somethingā Dakotah asks in a panic tone not bother to respond to willy. Without thinking I grab dakotahās hand. Wether I liked it or not he was still Bentleys dad and the guy ive loved my whole life, I needed him right now. I shake my head as my vision gets blurry from the tears.
āBentley, heās getting worse.ā I cry trying to catch my breat, so far with no success. I feel Dakotahs grip loosen so I squeeze his hand harder and pull him to me so I could have him hold me cause right I really needed him. Thatās when I felt his chest rising and falling rapidly. He was crying.
āIām so sorry, Iām so sorry Faithā he cries wrapping his arms around me and holding me tightly to his chest. Whatever happened earlier we needed to push aside for right now. Right now it was about bemtley. Like it always should have been and from this point on always will be.
ācome on we need to get you guys thereā willys voice interrupted. I nodded and let go of Dakotah. I try to push myself up but I canāt I felt paralyzed. Dakotah picks me up and starts walking.
āI canāt let you drive right now Kotah, and she needs you,ā he says, whisphering the last part. i look up at his face catching
