The Loneliness

"Jade I can't do this anymore".This kept playing over and over in Jade's head for over a year.Mitchell had left that message on her voice mail on what was to be their fifth year anniversary. Jade had met Mitchell when she was an up and coming magazine editor.He was an intern at a major record label.Within two years they both were the hottest power couple in Chicago.They lived a fairy tale life until Jade walked in and saw her assistant Jazmine bent over the Italian leather sofa Mitchell had custom made Jade on their one year wedding anniversary.
Nothing was said by either.The smug son of a bitch even went as far as finishing what he started.Jade left what she had called her home for the past seven years and went to a nearby Four Seasons and tried to piece together what had just happened.

Of all people why Jazmine?Did he hate me that much that he would sleep with the one person he knew would hurt me the most?A week had past before Jade could muster the strength to acknowledge what happen.That's when she heard the voice mail Mitchell left.He went on about how he had checked out the relationship months ago.He even went on to tell her how Jazmine did things that she was to stuffy to do.She couldn't believe what she was hearing.And s if it would make a difference he went on to say he was willing to split their assets in half and end the marriage as quickly as possible.She was in no way prepared for his next statement.Jazmine was pregnant with his child.

This was three years ago,and although the baby was not Mitchell's and he had since moved on,Jade had vowed to stay single and throw herself into her career.To everyone else she was very well put together,but at night when she was all alone she cried herself to sleep.She didn't like being alone.But after all she went through,she couldn't allow anyone in for fear she would be hurt again.
