5You met Christopher in high school and started dating. Problem was, Theo- Chris's(Christopher's nickname) best friend- had had the world biggest crush on you since you were kids. He still does. Anyways, you and Chris got married later on. Your love was real and genuine. Chris was always very affectionate and loving towards you. Which is why, you never expected his behavior to change over night. Knowing looks turned distant, he was always in a hurry to go to work, had sudden 'projects', and he hid his damn phone all the time. Of course, you started to worry, thinking stuff like "Have I gained weight?", "Aren't I pretty enough?", among others. You tried to plan dates, to get closer, but he no longer responded with the same love as before.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Theo, however, came to visit you every on Thursday's and Saturday's. While it was mainly to look for Chris, when he didn't find him at home, you two spent time together. Laughter, movies, food, and talks. In a way, you found refuge in him, in his relaxed and humerous presence, and from laughs came kisses that broke instantly out of loyalty to Christopher, looks of guilt and shame. But they faded as the harshness of Chris's neglect settled on you. Passionate kisses that travelled throughout the house, secret dates, Theo's insistent "leave him" murmured into kisses, "marry me instead" between buttons. It was chaos. On one side, your husbands condescension, on the other Theo's devotion and crazy want.

Today, Chris has not been home for two days. You've heard rumors, seen photos- Christopher with a girl named Amy, a coworker he'd sworn was only his friend. You decided to send him a message:
"Chris, where are you? Are you with Amy?"
