"Ma! Dad! I'm ready!" Renesmee yells as she runs down the stairs.
"Okay babe your dad is just securing the last of your stuff in the truck." I look at her when she stands in front of me. Smiling, "Are you excited? It's your last year at Seattle University!"
"Yeah, it's going to be great. The last year is just about pushing through and not overthinking every little detail," She giggled.
"Well let's get a move on kid it's gonna be a long drive!"
"All settled Ren? Good let's go Bella I don't want to be on the road all night." Jacob barked as he walked out of Renesmee's room.
I took one last look around the room to make sure she didn't need anything else. "Well it looks like everything is.. well not on fire, so I guess I'll go ahead and leave " I muttered.
"Mom" She dragged out "Stop I'm just a hop, skip, and jump away"
"I know babe I'm just feeling sorry for myself, my baby isn't a baby anymore. You are all grown up and I know once you graduate you'll move out and get a job and probably move out here to Seattle " I rambled. As she started to walk over to me Jake yells out.
"Bella hurry up, I'm not waiting forever!"
"Listen I got to go- have fun honey and call me after your first class next week. Love you Renren" I rushed out before Jake could say anything else. As I exited the room she called out, "Love you too Ma!"
I met Jake back at the car, where he was already inside, irritated. I got in and slammed the door. "Seriously Jake I was saying goodbye to our daughter do you have to me such a dick," I hissed. "I mean you treated me like total shit in there, in front of Renesmee, she doesn't even know we are getting a divorce yet, the least you can do is act civil in front of her!"
"Oh fuck off Bella I'm divorcing you so I don't have to listen to your nagging anymore," He snapped.
"No you are divorcing me because you couldn't keep your dick in your pants and knocked your skank up," I retorted "When are you going to tell our daughter anyway huh? Or are you waiting until she has a new baby sister or brother to shove in her face?" When he didn't respond I turned towards the window and stared as the college disappeared.
I gave up my whole life for Jake. Dropped out of college during my senior year. Stayed home and raised our daughter. Cooked and cleaned the house. Did all the laundry, only for him to move on the the girl who looked at him. I mean our sex life was okay.. or so I thought. With a kid under the roof it got harder and harder to have our alone time but we managed once a week, sometimes twice! Once Renesmee went to college we brought back date nights and sex started to come back regularly.
I finally had time to myself to do all the things I wanted like getting my nails done again and going out to lunch with my friends. Shortly after Jake got restless. Saying I wasn't the one bringing home the money so I should stop spending it. Sex stopped after that. I didn't feel like giving myself to a man who regulated how much money I spent in a week while he spends hundreds of dollars on things he uses once.
Before our daughter came home the summer before her senior year; he told me that he has been having an affair and wanted a divorce. So here I am. No job, no money of my own and going back to a house where I raised our daughter only to have to pack up because he is selling the house. I can't even fight him on it because everything is in his name. How did I get here? Where am I going to go with no money and no degree to help me get a job?
Fuck life sucks.
