Judas KISS- Eight- Disarray ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✥ ✿

"You're under a lot of stress! Your husband being in war and all! You're being worried for him and things that he

tells you about war when he comes home! You must not let these things

stress you out this much!"

Helen thought to herself: "How can one stop herself of not stressing out?" But she never told the doctor about the true happening of her life; about the fights she had with Steve, about her love affair with Jacob...

She began seeing Jacob the same day that Steve left. The road they had taken went on for ever, never ending, kept stretching ahead. It was like their lives, like her life, his life. The only difference between the two of them was that Helen before seeing Jacob at the New Year's eve party, knew that she was unhappy. She knew that her marriage to Steve could not last. She knew that she did not want to divorce him now that he was serving his country. She hated the famous cliche, "Dear John Letter"! She wanted him to come home not for leave but for staying and then ask for divorce.

But for Jacob the problem was after seeing Helen at the party. He thought that he was a happily married man, a lucky man! He had almost completely forgotten about Helen; therefore about his childhood crush on her.

Seeing Helen that night had changed his life. He did not want to hurt his wife, but now he had no feeling for her. He knew that she was suspicious that something was amiss with their relationship. He loved his new born son, the little chubby boy that even at that young age looked so much like him. He recalled his own life with his mother, sister, and stepfather. He thought about his father, who had left them when they were very young. He did not want any of these for his own son, little Drew. But his need for Helen was so strong, like a magnetic pull, that he could not stop himself of not seeing her! His mind was telling him to stop, yet his heart would take him to Helen!

Melisa, his wife had become distrustful of him! She even had threatened that she would leave him; that she would tell her father and ask him to throw him out of the law firm. The result of his bar exam came and he passed it. But now his wife telling him that he owed everything he was to her father, to her family. He knew that she was right!

Mr. Holland, his father- in- law, offered him to become a partner in the law firm. That was the strangest proposal from a man who already knew that Jacob was unfaithful to his daughter. He had invested so much money and time on Jacob, which at the beginning was a total stranger to him, to let it go to waste because of a childhood crush! He had a privet investigator to follow Jacob. He knew everything. He told his daughter:

"Forget about the divorce? Most men stray once in a while. Just be patient. I fix up everything!"

"Dad, how about you? Did you stray?

"To be honest with you, yes!"

"What happened?"

"Nothing, Your mother found out! we had a lot of fights! But at the end, she won and I knew that I was wrong! I never strayed again!"

So Melisa decided to be patient as her father had advised her!

Every time Jacob held his son, he understood that he should be with his child always, from now on; and to do for him what he was denied himself! He should never leave him; he should be with him to the end of the world. Every time he looked at his son, his heart heaved; but when he went to see Helen, his heart palpitated heavier!!
