The night was hot .. I sat waiting.. Car indicator tick tick tick sound that can annoyed the most annoying person.. The calmness of the night made the night seem as if there was something on the. arisen. It was at that moment that he looked up and saw something that disturb his eyes. Uncertain he took out his phone and began to record the incident. Was he really witnessing a murder on the 3rd floor . Was someone about to loose their life before his eyes.

The argument started off with dirty dishes in the sink. I worked all day to come home to dirty dishes and dirty pots with no food left over for me to eat. She stated!! But I guess it’s I that should wash these dishes once again. He steered blindly off into the distance of the show on his favorite channel. She slam the pots as she wash them.four years four years and this what my life as turn to .. Dirty dishes and man that doesn’t need or want anything better with his life.

Early that day Trevor came home from 6 job interviews. Tired set in on his face .. Lack of worth beat on his back .. Stress of not knowing what’s next turn into anger and disappointment. How can my life be this way I server my country gave those bastard 20 years of my life to be told that I am discharge without pay without benefit and without my retirement that was promise. I gave them the best years in return they will afford me the finance to better myself to be a survival. But our country finance went to shit when they went to war once again with those MF Russians. No pay for you until this war is over 6 blooded years 6 .. This war will never end too many people making trillions of dollars for them to want this to end. My wife I know she been holding us down for 3 out of the 4 years now and I know it hasn’t been easy for her, but I hope she know I am out here trying. From stock boy to sign tosser nothing at all zip zero. Knock knock who is it ? Its me Renee the next door neighbor. Hey Renee what’s going on ? I asked .. She stated she got to run out for while and if I can watch her 3 kids.. What the fuck I look like a good dam babysitter. I thought to myself ! Yeah sure send them over when you are leaving. Two minutes past another knock at the door and it was the kids. Hello Mr. Smith… What’s up with you? Nothing at all kids, come on in. Mr. Smith that food smell good yeah it’s some dinner I cook for me and the wife. The younger one stated we sure is hungry mom don’t have no food at the house. Ok babes sit down I share some food for u guys. Dm it I really wanted to surprise Renee tonight but I can’t have these kids here starving. These little Fuckers can eat! I look in the pot and there was nothing left for me and Renee to eat so I shared her plate put it up in fridge and made myself a bread and cheese sandwich.. Did we eat all your food Mr. Smith (the youngest one asked) . No baby I made that food for you ladies.. They smile .. I think I have old game if u guys want to play. Sure we would love that. I sat search the web for jobs and making calls to see if there was any news about the settlement come through for us vets. 5 hours past and their mom finally came home looking hot mess with fast food for her kids. Thank you for hangout with us today Mr.Smith. No baby thank u for hangout with an old man like me it was fun. Thought to myself me and Renee never talk about kids so I assume she didn’t want them.. Anyways the phone ring and it was some weird call just heavy breathing and the phone went silent. Ok 4 time it happen but I figure it was one of those kids prank calling.. Shit I forgot to wash the dishes when I hear the door open. Hey babes how are you? I am good … She went to shower … For the last few weeks she come home no kiss no huge she just go right into the shower. Well I am just over thinking ..

-She going off in the kitchen regarding the food and dishes. Babe what’s the matter I told u to leave them. I would wash them after my show.. All u do all day is sit on your ass and watch tv. Babes I am not trying to argue come over and hang out with me let me rub your feet .. Nigga I don’t want u to touch me she express strongly. What ! U heard me I am tired of u..

What the fuck is your problem .. You are pissing me off .. Well let me just say this I am unhappy and I want a divorce. What !!!! She stated again yes I want a divorce. Are u kidding !!! No!!! She stated loud and angry.. I want out of this … He paused for a second … Are you seeing someone else ? He fumble to ask .. She responded back why do I have to be seeing someone to want a divorce .. I just want out.. No answer the question Renee you are avoiding!! She glare off in distance .. I didn’t want you to find out like this but yes I am … What the fuck Renee what the fuck … His world became black the lights went out. All he can remember is her lifeless body tangling from his fingers. He quickly snap back to reality to realize it was just a dream .. She was still alive and the house was ripped apart with all their items now things broken just like their world. He storm out the house. She sat there feeling guilty.. She walked over to the fridge to get a drink of water and then she saw the food along with a note ( hey my love thank you for all that you have done for us over the last few years. I now it hasn’t been easy but you have teach me that love is bigger than just one person. I love you and I got job today so the bills and rent will no longer fall on your loving shoulders. P.s. Next door kids came over to hang with me while Sharon do only what God knows today. They eat all the food but I save you some and I hope you enjoy.. Love your hubby). Tears fill her eyes as she dash out to find her man. At that moment Trevor stood on the roof of his build sitting there thinking about his world and what just transpired. As he looked over to next build he notice the 3rd floor the light flicker and a man stand over his wife .. I guess it’s one of those night he chuckle to himself as he watched. What he saw made him jump up and dash to find his wife. We can work through this !!
