The One That Got Away chapter 12
As I was figuring out what my next move was, I was at one of my shops when it was about lunch time when I heard the door bell ring for someone coming in. I didn't think anything of it until Hailey had came to the back to tell me I have a visitor. When she had said that, I was hoping it wasn't Mark. But when I came to the front it wasn't Mark but it was his wife. I froze where I stood. Not knowing what to do, run to the back or even out of the shop or just talk to the woman.So that is what I did. I walked over to the counter for a second and stared at her beauty. She was beautiful and I don't get why he would do such a thing."So you much be Carrie, the woman that stole my husband's heart.""Look, I'm so sorry. I didn't know he had a wife or even a family. I wonder when he went on trips by himself or not come home to me after we bought the house." I told her."He bought you a house?" She asked, shockingly."Yes, and a car. But I'm willing to give it all

And that I was going to file for a restraining order on him. She said that would be fine. Of how much that has happened, how happened, I feel guilty and that she should beat me up or try to kill me but she was all calm and nice about everything. It was like knew this would have happened. I wanted to ask her more about it but I didn't want to pruned on her life. Especially since I want nothing to do with him.After I figured out what I was doing, I slowly packed some of my stuff and got storage for some that I don't want to take with me. I wasn't selling the house, I mean it is mine from him. It was already paid for, no payments needed, that was gonna use it for a vacation home when I came in visit here.I told all my workers what was going on, they understood and believed I was doing the best.I went downto

5 years later~The shops here in Cape May, New Jersey; it was popping, banging up sales. It was like a dream that came true, right out of a fairy tale. When I moved here 5 years ago, I had found the perfect shop down the street from my cute little apartment. It was big enough for me and one little person. Yes, I said little person. I kept my daughter and named her after the one that helped me get away. Cynthia Rose. Rose was my mother's middle name and it fits perfectly together. I thought it long and hard before I had her. I wasn't gonna keep her at all, I was gonna give her away. I was gonna wrap her up in a small blanket, go to a church and place her on the stairs once she was born and I got out the hospital. I figured the priests or nuns would find her and find her a good home.But once I had her, that changed everything. The way she looked up me and smiled that gummy smile at me, I just melted. I couldn't go through what I wanted to do. And I knew it

Two days since she's been in the hospital resting.Two days since she's been out.Two days for her to get back to normal.It took a lot to get her back to normal, but when it did, she was fully awake and alert. She was shocked to see where she was and who was there for her.The moment she woke up, I had called her doctor and called the others to come to the hospital. The doctor checked her out and said she was okay, back where she needed to be. Which was a good thing."Cynthia Rose, do you know how much you gave us all a scare?" Cynthia scolded her."I'm sorry." Rose had said at first, looking down. Then looked up and spoke again. "Does he know?""Your father?" Cynthia asked. Rose nodded. "I called him and told him, well mostly left a voicemail. But he hasn't called back or even texted to see if you were okay. Last time we spoke was a month ago when he told me he was leaving town for awhile and sent money for you kids."

Cynthia asked me."No, not really." I said at first. "But I'm pretty sure we all know why she did. She's gone through a lot.""It doesn't matter what shes gone through. She shouldn't have done it in the first place." Chris had kinda yelled."You be in her shoes, Chris." I said. "She lost her mother, her father. She believes her life is slipping, that no one loves her." I snapped back."We love her.""Do you? If y'all did, you wouldn't have let her move out on her own. She's young still but stubborn at heart.

New years eve was short lived. It wasn't all that great, other than being by myself. Jacob came by and helped me get high and well the high wasn't even a high anymore.

But with Jacob, it was hard to do half the time. Joey, saw me struggling with it. He saw me crashing when didn't want anyone to see me crash. One day at lunch, I felt weak and I could barely even move. Where I had almost passed out by my locker and if it wasn't for Joey being next to me, catching me.

It felt like its been forever by now but its finally here. Its Christmas eve, our family dinner. What we call it but its kinda different since Mark is gone. As I got home, yes a little high, but enough to get the high but not show it. Cynthia was in the kitchen cooking away with some of the help, when I came in. Our head chef was taking out the hams when I popped my butt down on the island. When he sat it on the counter he addressed me like always with a smile. Walter, I loved he was the best. Always made me the best late night snack. Especially when I was a little high."Good morning Ms. Rosey." He said."Good morning Walter.""Oh good your here and early." Cynthia chimed in. "But not dressed for your best, I see." "I don't have all my nice close at the house mother. I left them here.

After being gone for a few days, phone getting blown up, text message after text, I finally got back to my old self where I wanted to go back home. Not just because Cynthia had told me the words I wanted to see but I needed to go back. I needed to be loved and be by my family.But just seeing:"Honey, I kicked out your father. I done what I should have done long time ago back when I caught him with your mother. Yes, I know its sad. But after what he's done to all of us and what he done to you of all people. Especially after losing your mother, you needed a parent in your life and I know I'm not your mother, but I've helped raised you and if your willing to come back you can. I won't be mad at you if you don't."It hit the heart but I know its not her fault at all. She was more the victim as anyone of us. Her husband, the father of her children, doing them wrong all over again. Then placing his hands on his baby girl that looks dead ass like her mother. I thought that was the problem,
