Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn - Season 3 Episode 10

“Hey Ro, I’m glad you came.” Kate k*sses both of my cheeks.

“Yeah” it’s the only response I can master, given that I’m not really glad to be here.

She gets distracted by my parents, and I see that as my chance to sl*p away.

I bead straight to my brother.

“How are things going?” he asks after the initial greeting.

“Terrible” I mumble, remembering the fight between me and Calvin the weekend before

It wasn’t one of my greatest moments, but he just reminded me of the time he used to chase after Emma. That scared me because I was afraid that he was doing the same to Ava. Regardless of everything. Calvin

is a good guy. That, more than anything, scared the crap out of me because it means that he actually hast

a chance if he were to shoot his shot.

“Any progress so far?” he asks.

“None. The only progress is that I managed to piss her off even more.”

Gabe sighs. “What did you do?”

“I got into a fight with Calvin. Turns out he is Gunner’s father”

I don’t need to explain who Gunner is. Noah talks about him all the damn time. He tells everyone that he

is his new best friend.

“I’m confused. Who is Calvin?” Gabe asks, looking confused as hell.

“Nerdy Cal. You remember him?”

It takes a while, but I see it the moment it downs on him. I

“You’re shitting me!” he yells. “That Nerdy Cal? The one that used to follow Emma around all the time.”

“Yes, the same one”

I still can’t believe it. It’s such a damn coincidence that I don’t know what to think.

“What’s going on?” Travis asks as he walks towards us.

Hlook behind him, thankful that Emma hadn’t followed him. In fact, thinking about it now, I wouldn’t mind

Calvin resumed his obsession and started

“Just that nerdy Cal is Gunner’s dad, and Ro got into a fight with him,” Gabe answers.

“Seriously?” he asks before turning to me. “Why? Was it because of Emma?

Before I can answer him, we hear the front door open and then bang shut. Moments later we hear Ava’s clear and angry voice shouting Emma’s name.

“Emma?” she shouts again as she walks out of the house.

“What’s going on?” I turn to Travis.

“I have no idea”

We step closer. Our eyes on Ava as she stomps towards Emma, who was standing next to our parents.

Before anyone can do anything or stop her, she slaps Emma so hard that she falls to the ground.

“What the hell, Ava?” Travis shouts as she rushes to help his sister.

Emma, just like everyone else, was shocked. Ava, on the other hand, looked wired. She looked downright

pissed. As if she was ready to rip someone’s head off.

“Shut the F*** up, Travis” she says at him through clenched teeth.

“What’s going on, Ava? Why would you attack your sister like that?” Kate asks as tears fills her eyes.

She was torn. She didn’t know which girl to choose, so she was waiting to see if Ava had a good reason before picking sides.

This just shows how much she’s changed. The previous Kate would immediately take Emma’s side.

“That’s what I would like to know.” Ava snarls and then glares at Emma. “I would like to know why you would do that, Emma. Why would you abandon your child? Your own son”

We all stand stock still. Maybe we weren’t hearing it right. Maybe Ava got it wrong. There is no way Emma had a child. She would have told her family.

“That’s bullshit. Emma doesn’t have a child, and she would never abandon her kid,” Travis defends.

Ava laughs as if she had lost her goddamn mind.

That’s what I thought at first, but I am not wrong” she asks

Said woman was now in Travis‘ arms. Clutching his arm like her life depended on it. She had tears streaking down her cheeks and fear in her eyes. She was even F***ing trembling. Even with all that, she didn’t answer.

Ava continues while looking at Ernma like she is the scum of the earth.

“You’re Gunner’s mother, isn’t that right Emma or are you going to continue pretending that you’re not?” Ava delivers the final blow. One that none of us saw coming. A blow that none of us were prepared for.
