Against All Odds Pt. 04

... took this in, realized she should get tested and feared she might get pregnant. All of that made me rage inside. Rage and despair. I clenched my fists under the table and felt like I was in a no-win situation. However, this was not who I was, and there was always a solution to any problem. You just needed a plan.

Honesty first, I thought.

"Mel, I still love you. I cannot stop this. I can't just turn it off. You broke my heart, but I can't truly hate you. I am choosing to hold that feeling and trust our first two years were as I believe they were. However, I don't know if I can get beyond this. I do know one good thing has happened. I am putting my sobriety and health first. It comes before everything right now. I know we enabled each other. I'm sorry about that. I really am. I know you are young but have also made this decision. That took courage, and I respect that deeply. This is my battleground now. Maybe it could be ours."

Melissa's heart expanded. He had chosen not to hate her. Of everything that could happen, she wanted that more than anything. She could feel the Grace between them. She had made the same choice he had. It would be enough. It had to be. No expectations. Just stay clean.

An hour later, I got a call from Mike. We talked, and after the call, I thought about what he had said. A small smile crept on my face. She still loved me.

First Things First

Later that night, I went to a meeting. I was there when Mike and Melissa arrived. She looked at me and smiled shyly. Mike said something to her and walked over to me. Melissa then talked to Shirley, and they eventually sat together. This made me happy as Shirley was force to reckon with. Ten years and fierce when young woman made it to the rooms. She was also an empath, so I knew they would get along.

Mike gave me a hug. I looked at him, and nothing needed to be said. We knew what took place here. So we sat and took strength from the fellowship. Mel got up and took another white key tag. I was so proud I cried softly, and Mike just smiled. After, Melissa and I talked while everyone smoked and vaped. Men were hovering around Melissa, but Shirley sent them all the 'stay away from the newcomer's' glare. Mike and she had talked, and she was OK with the two of us standing there.

I wanted to ask her what she thought, but I knew this was her ...
