NEW YORK CITY, NY – KIRSTIN AND TOM’S LOFT – JAN. 15TH, 2001
Kirstin didn’t know how to react. She was paralyzed. She couldn’t move. She just stared at Tom and this blonde girl. Then, when Tom looked up, he almost fell back when he saw Kirstin standing there.
“Kirstin!” he exclaimed.
“Who is she?” the blonde girl asked, but Tom didn’t bother to answer. Nor Kirstin, mostly because she was paralyzed. Kirstin couldn’t believe the sight. Tom and the blonde girl were naked, standing in front of the bathroom, not knowing what to do. When Tom returned to the bathroom to get a towel for him and for the girl, Kirstin just walked down the stairs again. She got her purse from the kitchen counter and was opening the door when she heard Tom’s yelling from the stairs. She just looked at him, opened the door, but didn’t leave because Tom was already grabbing her by her fist.
“Kirstin, listen…” Tom started but was cut off by her.
“Get your filthy hand out of me.” Kirstin was calm.
“No, Kirstin, listen.” Tom didn’t move his hand.
“Don’t touch me!” Kirstin snapped and released herself from Tom’s grip.
“No, Kirstin, let me talk to you.” Tom went after her on the elevator.
“I don’t wanna hear your voice. And there’s nothing, NOTHING, you can say that will change this. NOTHING!” Kirstin snapped again.
“No, listen, please, you gotta listen to me.”
“No, I don’t. And don’t touch me!” Kirstin yelled when Tom was about to grab Kirstin’s fist again.
“Kirstin, really, that girl…”
“Tom, I don’t wanna know why you’ve done it, I don’t wanna know since when you’ve been doing it, just knowing you have been doing this behind my back is enough for me. Nothing you say will help you out! I saw it! With my own eyes! You and that WHORE naked. I saw it!”
“But Kirstin, you weren’t suppose to. You weren’t suppose to be home now.”
“Oh! I’m so sorry I came home earlier and didn’t let you know! I’m sorry! I should have told you, that way you would have gotten rid of this WHORE before I got in, right?”
“Right…” Tom said but then when he looked at Kirstin’s face he continued “No, I mean. No! That’s not really it.”
“You know what the worst part is? You brought that WHORE to MY house. Not yours, not ours, MY house. How could you do that? How did you dare to do that? MY house!” Kirstin was yelling already.
“Kirstin, please, calm down.” Kirstin laughed at Tom’s request.
“You’re not really asking me to calm down, are you?” Tom didn’t say anything “Are you?”
“Well…”
“Oh, don’t tell me to calm down, Tom! Because that’s impossible. And you know why? Because while I, an IDIOT, a STUPID girl, was trying on my WEDDING DRESS, my FIANCÉE was screwing some WHORE on MY apartment. Now, how can I calm down? Huh, Tom? Tell me! How can I stay calm?”
“Kirstin, I don’t know what to say. I know what I did was wrong…”
“You’re damn right it was wrong! Now something smart finally came out of your filthy mouth.”
“But Kirstin…”
“You know what really is the worst part? I have this wonderful guy that loves me so much, he’s so sweet, and he loves me and only me, and I had my doubts about being with him.”
“Ashley…” Tom looked down.
“Yes, Ashley! While you were here screwing this WHORE, he was with me at the dress fitting and then he said the most amazing thing to me and I came home crying, because I was feeling bad about wanting to be with him while I was marrying you and loving you too. Feeling that you would be devastated if I would have chosen Ashley instead of you.”
“But I would be.”
“Don’t make me laugh, Tom! How do you think I feel now? Coming home, so worried about your feelings, and seeing you don’t give A SHIT about my feelings? That you’re screwing a WHORE when you know I was trying on the dress I’m wearing on OUR WEDDING?”
“Bad…” Tom looked down, ashamed.
“No, not bad. TERRIBLE! DEVASTATED! DEAD INSIDE! I thought you loved me. We’ve been through so much to get where we are. You and your stupid jealousy about Ashley. You and your stupid jealousy just about every guy.”
“Well, I was right about Ashley.”
“No, you weren’t! I loved you this whole time. But now you are right!” Kirstin entered the elevator.
“Kirstin, don’t go.”
“Just a couple of things.” Kirstin said before pushing the button “I want this WHORE and YOU gone when I get back tomorrow. Take everything that’s yours because I don’t wanna see you ever again. Don’t try to see me again. You can’t do anything to make this go away. Leave your keys with the janitor. I don’t ever wanna see your face again. Ever.”
After saying that, she pushed the button and the elevator door
closed. When she couldn’t see Tom’s face anymore, she collapsed
to the floor and cried her eyes out.
