Chapter 4

“What do you mean you have to go? You don’t have to do anything!”

Diana stared at her boyfriend angrily. Three years and it was still as if he knew nothing about her. She crossed her arms and gazed at him impatiently, her open bag still half-packed with her plane ticket strewn on the bed beside it.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, Jack,” Diana said, her tone measured. “How do you not see that?”

Jack shook his head angrily and threw his hands in the air. “What the hell are you talking about?” he yelled.

Diana couldn’t reply. She knew what she wanted to say, but it was clear anything that came out of her mouth would just go over his head. She hated Jack when he was like this, face all red, eyes popping out and the vein in the middle of his forehead pulsating. She could try to reason with him all she wanted, but in the end, he would only hear what he wanted to hear.

“You’re throwing all of this away,” he continued to yell, “over some role in a B-movie that nobody will ever hear of!”

“All of this?” Diana scoffed. “What exactly is this? What am I throwing away, in your opinion?”

“Our life!”

“What life?” Diana yelled. “You sell tires, I wait tables, and we can’t even afford rent. Are you kidding me? What life?”

Jack stared at her in shock, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.

“I’ve had it with this life, dammit!” Diana yelled, suddenly feeling a lot better now that her true feelings were out in the open. It felt relieving to finally let it all out. “I’m tired of waiting for someone to throw scraps at me just so I could get by. I have a chance to make something better of myself, and I’m not sitting back and watching it slip from my fingers.”

Jack took a step back, shaking his head as he tried to register what he was hearing. Diana had never been open about how she truly felt about their living situation, a mutual agreement that had quickly spiraled out of control and had both of them staring into the abyss of life-long debt. He was clueless as to how bad things really were, oblivious to the bills and finances that he had quickly thrown into her lap to handle. And now that she was pregnant, things would only get worse. Diana knew that for a fact, and was certain he would not see it that way. Which was why she hadn’t told him about the baby yet, and had decided early on that she wouldn’t.

“I’m going to LA, Jack,” she finally said, her voice dropping to a reasonable level. “You’re welcome to join me, but this isn’t a negotiation.”

She gazed back into his eyes, staring him down and waiting for a reply, unwilling to give in. When it was clear to him that she had made up her mind, he slammed his fist against the nearest wall and stormed out of the room.

Diana waited until she heard the front door slam before letting out a loud sigh and relaxing. She looked at her bag and ticket, shuffled her hair and continued to pack.

“You shouldn’t be here.”

“Lady, you shouldn’t be here!”
