Short story Chapter One.

Tears rolled down her face as she listened on the line. "Jones residence." Said the woman on the phone. She had went through Demetrius's phone and saw the number "Home" which she thought was suspicious since he said he lived alone and had never given her the number. When she thought about it she had never been to his home within the last year that they had been dating. 

"Hello?! Jones residence." She could hear children in the background. Did Demetrius live a double life?
  
"Hello ma'am. I am calling on behalf of Child's Gym. We are having a special. Two children for the price of one and wanted to know if you would be interested." Jade said.

"Oh that sounds like a lovely idea! But I'll have to talk it over with my husband." Mrs. Jones responded. 

"That sounds good ma'am. Why don't I take down your information and we can send you some information about our facility in the mail. That way you can show your husband."

"Oh that's perfect! What information do you need?"

"I just need your name, telephone number and address ma'am." 

"Oh okay. Well my name is Delilah Jones..." 

"And your husbands name ma'am?"

"...Oh his name is James Demetrius Jones."  Jade's heart dropped.  12 months dating Demetrius and she didn't even know his name was James.  

"Hello are you still there?" Delilah asked.

"Yes ma'am I'm here. What is your telephone number?" 

"My cell number is 555-6875." 

"And your address?"

"611 Pacfic Avenue."

"Thank you ma'am I will send an information packet to you as soon as we disconnect. It was a pleasure speaking with you Mrs. Jones. Have a good day now."

"Wait I didn't catch your name."

"My name? My name is Jessica."

Well nice speaking with you Jessica. Goodbye."

Jade sat there staring at the information she had written down. Demetrius was really James. James Demetrius Jones. The man she had dated for a year she didn't even know. She dialed Demetruis's telephone number. 

Ring ring.

"What's up baby! I was just thinking about you. Where are you? Let's meet at Starbucks on Lincoln." 

Jade let out a deep sigh."alright I'll be there in ten."

Jade hung up the phone and made a u-turn in her 350i.  She sped down Lincoln Boulvard and parked right next to Demetrius's car.  She walked in and spotted him. He walked up to her and handed her a coffee. 

"Hey babe. How's your day going?" 

"It's going great! How's Delilah and the kids?" 

Demetrius's face froze like he had just seen a ghost. 

"Baby let's go back to your place and discuss this."

"I am fine where I am. YOU ARE MARRIED DEMETRIUS?? Is your name Demetrius or is that your middle name? Is your name Demetrius or James? Do you even love me like you say you do? I don't even know who you are." 

Jade stood up and slapped Demetrius. Then she walked out of Starbucks, went into her trunk and busted out all of his windows. She got into her 350i and sobbed like a baby. A whole year she had wasted on Demetrius. They had made plans to travel the world together and get married in Paris, France. They had made plans on having kids. Two. One boy and one girl. The boy would be Demetrius. The girl would be Jaden.  All of these plans they had made together and they were all a lie. 

*knock knock knock* 

Jade lifted her head from her steering wheel. 

"Ma'am I am Officer Parker. We had received a call that you were spotted vandalizing a car in the parking lot. Will you please step out the car?" 

Jade screamed, "FUCK!" as she stepped out the car. 

"Ma'am you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do..." 

Jade could hear the police officer speaking but she could not hear his words. This day went from bad to horrible in just a matter of minutes.
