Tim

Tim walks out of the office with his things. He had just gotten fired and was trying to figure out how he was going to tell his wife. This was the job she helped him get. Janeth went through so much trying to get him that job. Tim was worthless without her help. She was going to be so disappointed in him. Tim’s phone vibrates and it is Janeth, she asks him how work is going. Tim doesn’t know if he should lie to her or tell her the truth. He hesitates in pressing send, Tim doesn’t know if this was going to be the right thing to do. He finally manages to send the message with the lie telling his wife he was doing great at work. Janeth was supposed to leave this morning for a meeting that was out of town so Tim had plenty of time to figure out how he was going to tell her when she got back. Tim’s phone vibrates again and this time his wife tells him she will be visiting him at work today because her meeting got cancelled. He drops the phone.

“What the fuck,” mumbled Tim under his breath. Tim was losing his mind. He had no idea what he was going to do. Tim reaches down to pick up his phone and puts it back into his pocket. There was no way he would be able to get away with this; he had to think of a new plan as soon as possible.

Tim goes home to drop of his things and his phone keeps vibrating. It was his wife calling. Tim doesn’t know if he should answer or if he should ignore the call. He lets it ring and walks away. All of a sudden the house phone rings. Tim checks to see who it is, and it is his wife. He is terrified now and decides to answer.

“Hello,” answers Tim calmly.

“Tim what the fuck, I went to your office and Jake tells me he fired you earlier,” yelled Janeth.

“Yes, I didn’t want to tell you because I was ashamed,” said Tim.

“So you would rather lie…” said Janeth.

“I didn’t know how to tell you, I am such a fuck up,” said Tim.

“You aren’t a fuck up, Jake never liked you because I chose you instead of him, but you just fucked up,” said Janeth and hung up.

Tim was in trouble, he should have never lied to her. He tried calling her but it went straight to voicemail. He sent her a text telling her how sorry he was but she still didn’t bother to reply or call him back. Tim knew exactly where she was and it made him angry. He drives down to his old job and goes straight to Jakes office. Just as Tim thought Janeth was in there with him. Tim opens the door and walks in and sits down beside Janeth. Jake tells him to leave.

“If I leave she has to come with me,” says Tim.

“I don’t want to go anywhere with you Tim, you lied to me,” says Janeth.

Jake starts laughing.

“I don’t see how this is funny,” said Tim.

Jake doesn’t say anything.

“Oh I see, you did this on purpose. You fired me because you knew I wouldn’t handle it well and lie to her and then she would be mad,” says Tim.

“Is this true,” asked Janeth.

Jake nods his head.

“Wow you are pathetic, I didn’t want you then I sure as hell don’t want you now,” says Janeth as she walks out the door with Tim.
