I'm down to just one thing and I'm starting to scare myself

[evan_covault]

She's gone. Isabella is gone. I've tried to make sense of it. To understand why she just walked on me, on us, but none of it makes any sense. Last night, I had to leave. I couldn't watch her walk out the door. Ended up at a bar and had too much to drink. Got behind the wheel of my car and ended up getting pulled over two blocks from home

*nods his head*

Yes, please. I can't deal with her right now.

*yawns*

The jet's bar is stocked right? I'm not really ready to get off this bender yet.

*looks over at Julian, says quietly*

Thanks, Dad.

[ct_char]

Stocked like normal.

*eyes him*

I believe I'll call ahead and have a few things added for you.

*smiles*

You're welcome son.

Guess I should have listened to you and waited until after college to get married. I swear...Dad, I swear I thought she was the right one. I still don't understand what the hell happened.

How could we go from being so damn happy to overnight it all being destroyed?

[ct_char]

Well love is a funny thing. There's nothing nicer and nothing more likely to rip your heart out and do a small tapdance on it just for fun.

I'm sorry I don't know what happened to you two.

[evan_covault]

Honestly, I always figured you would be the one to run her off. You made it clear she wasn't welcomed, but Isabella held her ground.

*blinks back tears*

Can't blame this on you. Pretty sure this is all me.

[ct_char]

Evan don't be so hard on yourself. Most of the time these things are complicated, there may be reasons there we don't know anything about.

Don't go blaming yourself.

Come on, Dad, you know how it is with marriage. It's a contract between two people. You and Shannon managed to work things out even after the crap with Mom and me popping up.

I couldn't make my marriage work and there was no affair, no bastard kid on the side, hell if you'd asked me three days ago how things were between us, I'd have swore it was perfect.

*scrubs at his face*

Whatever happened with Bella and me, it comes down to me not making her happy. There isn't anyone else to blame it on.

[ct_char]

Don't hold my marriage up as the paragon of a healthy thing. The truth is Shannon and I were too set in our ways and that made it easier to keep the relationship going.

We are certainly not the normal example.

You did everything for that woman Evan, if she was unhappy it was not your fault.
