Sarah rushed back to Ashley’s side to try and comfort her. Sarah found her in the same place she had left her still crying her heart out. So Sarah walked over and resumed the comforting tactics that had worked countless times before. However, Sarah somehow knew that this time was going to be a lot different.

“Ashley, sweetie, just calm down and tell me what’s wrong. I can’t help you if I don’t know what’s wrong.” This seemed to do the trick seeing as to how Ashley took deep breathes and began to stop sobbing. She could not, however, stop the tears from coming. As she looked Sarah dead in the eye, tears were still streaming down her porcelain skin and onto her Gucci blouse.

“I don’t think I should tell you.”

“Sweetie, you know that you can tell me anything. You’re like my daughter. I love you just as much as I love Aiden.” Sarah noticed that at the mention of her son’s name, Ashley tensed up.

“Well, it’s going to break your heart Sarah. It really is.”

“Well, my heart is breaking just sitting here watching you cry your heart out and not knowing what’s wrong. I can’t stand not knowing what’s bother you because then I can’t help you. Please sweetie, just tell me what’s the matter.”

“Fine. I was at your house looking for Aiden when I went into his room and saw that his computer was on. I looked at the screen and I saw him and Madison together in Madison’s room. I think you can figure out what they were doing.” Brooke said all of this in one breath. She had managed to stop crying long enough to convey her discovery to Sarah, but now, retelling her nightmare, she began to cry again. Before long she was dry heaving in a fetal position on the floor.

Sarah couldn’t believe what she had just heard. Her son was cheating on Ashley. They were supposed to be together forever. They had known each other since they were in preschool together Ashley spent the night at their house when she was especially lonely. She couldn’t believe that her son, whom she had tried so hard to raise right, had cheated on one of the only people in his life that had been there for him through practically everything. She finally broke out of her shock instated trance, and looked down at the child that she felt like she had basically raised herself. Karen crouched down next to Brooke and took her into her arms for what felt like the hundredth time that night.
