EXCERPT: Chapter 18
"Trixie?" Jake called out when he arrived, but then cringed, realizing it was past Jerry's bedtime. He hoped he hadn't woken him up as he made his way down the hall towards the bedroom as he noticed it was kind of quiet. "Trix?" he spoke.
"I'm here, Jake," she replied as he finally entered the room to find her simply sitting on the bed facing him.
On the bed, behind her, sat two suitcases. "I thought I said I only needed one?" he asked, positive he had told her that over the phone, yet she knew how he always managed to over pack when he had to do it himself.
"I did only pack you one." She turned slightly and placed her hand on one of the suitcases. "This one is your. I put about two weeks of clothes in here for you," she told.
Jake was confused. "Then what's with the other one?" he asked.
Trixie sighed, before looking up at Jake. "That one's mine."
Jake shook his head as he thought he realized what was going on. "You're not coming with me, Trix," he made clear.
"I didn't plan on to," she corrected him.
"Then why. . ."
Trixie then said the last words any married man wanted to hear from his wife. "Jakey, I want a divorce."
"Say what?" He looked at her in disbelief. "You can't be serious." And as she told him she was, he made his way over to her and she stood. "That's not what I want."
"I know, but it's what I want," she said.
"Alright," Jake said slowly as he took Trixie by the arms and guided her back to the bed to sit down. "Let's slow down a bit and talk about this."
Trixie scoffed. "Now, you want to talk? After you've done nothing but ignore me and push me to the side? Now?"
"Trix." Jake got down on one knee in front of her, his hands still on her arms. "Okay, I know I'm not perfect, I admit that, but we have gone through too much to let this fall apart."
Trixie shook her head, taking Jake's hands off of her as she did so. "I don't want to hear it. We have become no more than a broken record. We tried, we did, but we just have to realize this was a bad idea from the start. A marriage can't work without love," she explained. "You don't love me and I don't-" she stopped, realizing long ago her feelings for Jake. "And I don't want cry over you anymore." She lowered her head shielding her eyes from him as they bled tears. "So just give me my divorce, please," she begged.
"No, I refuse to let you go," Jake told her.
Trixie wiped away her tears, her eyes sad, but angry as she looked into husband's. "You can't have your cake and eat it too, Jake. What are going to do when you find Rose?" she asked, causing Jake's head to slightly jerk back. He hadn't thought of that, of what would happen when he finally found her. "Do you honestly think you, me, Jerry, and her are going to be one big happy family? Well it doesn't work like that! I will not be your fool!" She then stood, grabbing her suitcase. "I've been it long enough."
"You? My fool?" Jake stood as well, his tone darker than before. "If anyone has been anyone's fool, I have been yours!" Jake yelled. "My grandfather doesn't even speak to me anymore! My father refuses to look me in the eye! He still doesn't even acknowledge Jerry and how can I blame him? Everyone knows he not mine, but I go on pretending I don't see it!"
Trixie swiftly turned towards him. "Don't you dare put that one me, Jake Long. You are the one who went telling everyone he was yours after I told you not too. You are the one who wanted this marriage and then talked me into it," she set the record straight. "This isn't what I wanted and you know it! You just didn't want-" she cut herself off knowing she was about to go too far.
"Finish it," Jake demanded in a low voice. "What didn't I want?"
"You just didn't want to be alone," she told him softly.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Evilevergreen.
Evilevergreen must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Evilevergreen possibly have for not rating a single film?
