60 Days Before the Apocalypse,I Divorced My Cheating Husband Chapter 6
The silence on the line stretched so long that Hailey checked her screen to make sure the call had not dropped. It had not. She could hear Derek breathing, ragged and uneven, and behind him the sharp hiss of Helen's whispers."Say something," Jessie hissed, so close to the phone now that her voice came through thin and shaking. "Anything, Derek! Fix it before she hangs up!""I'm trying," Derek snapped back under his breath. "Be quiet."Hailey sat on the edge of a hotel bed with her legs crossed and a notepad on her knee. She raised her eyebrows at the phone and smiled."Please don't stop on my account," she offered sweetly. "I love hearing Jessie tell you what to do. It's the most honest thing this family has done all day."Nobody answered her. Then Derek cleared his throat, and when he spoke again, the arrogance in his voice had begun to crack under the weight of the truth."Hailey, come home. We can talk about this properly, like adults. Leo misses you. He hasn't eaten all day. Just

Helen barely made it to the gate of the Klein house before a neighbor's voice stopped her cold. Mrs. Bennett from two doors down was watering her roses with a hose she did not need, and she looked up with a wide, hungry smile."Helen! I was hoping to catch you. Is it true?""Is what true?" Helen snapped, still gripping her car keys so hard they left marks in her palm."About Hailey." Mrs. Bennett lowered the hose and stepped closer, her eyes bright. "My niece works at the bank, and she says Hailey has been moving a lot of money today. Big money. She even heard Hailey bought a few properties in her own name. Is she leaving you all?""Properties?" Helen's voice cracked. "She doesn't own any properties. Your niece has it wrong.""Maybe so." Mrs. Bennett shrugged with a sweet, fake sigh. "But she also told everyone at the supermarket that you were freeloaders. I would be furious if my daughter in law said that about me. Such a shame, after all you've done for her.""She is a liar and an u

While she waited for the final confirmation documents, Hailey drove to the high end grocery store on the corner of Maple Street. She had shopped there every week for five years, always with a list Helen had written for her, always in a hurry, and always with a knot in her stomach about the total.Today she walked in with her head up and her heels clicking against the polished floor. She pulled a big cart from the row by the door and started down the first aisle without checking a single price.Water first, she thought, grabbing the biggest crates on the bottom shelf. Then rice, beans, oil, salt. Everything that lasts.She loaded bulk crates of canned meat, dried fruit, and instant noodles until her cart was heaped to the top. She added water filters, thermal blankets, camping stoves, gas canisters, and three boxes of heavy duty batteries. A young stock boy stared at the mountain of supplies as she rolled past him, and she gave him a friendly wink."Planning a long weekend?" he asked,

Derek sat on the couch with his head buried in his hands while Helen paced the living room, her voice rising higher with every lap."I cannot believe you agreed to divorce her! What was going on in your head? Tell me, Derek, what were you thinking?""I didn't agree to anything, Mom." Derek pressed his fingers hard against his temples, and a vein jumped along his jaw. "She hung up on me before I could say a word.""Then why haven't you called her back?" Helen threw both hands in the air, and her swollen cheek shook with every word. "She hit me, Derek! Your own mother! And you sit there like a lump!"Jessie slid closer on the cushion and wrapped both arms around his elbow, resting her chin against his shoulder. Her eyes were red and wet, and she blinked up at him with a trembling lip."I'm scared, Derek," she whispered. "If Hailey really leaves, who is going to take care of Liam? I can't do everything by myself.""Nobody is leaving," Derek muttered, though his voice sounded weak even to

Jessie's shrill voice burst out of the phone before Hailey could lower it from her ear."Derek! Hailey slapped Helen and me! She's crazy, she's completely out of her mind! You have to come home right now!"Hailey held the phone at arm's length and listened with a calm face while Jessie sobbed loud enough to rattle the speaker. She could see the woman on the couch, one hand pressed to her red cheek, peeking at her from behind her fingers to check that the performance was landing."What?!" Derek's roar came through so sharply that Liam stopped crying for a second and stared. "Hailey, have you lost your mind?!""Not at all," Hailey answered lightly, and she strolled toward the window with her free hand resting on her hip. "I feel better than I have in years."Before Derek could reply, Helen lunged off the couch and snatched the phone out of her hand. The old woman clutched it with both hands, her cheek blotchy and swollen, and her voice turned instantly sweet and wounded."Derek, my son,

Hailey Young bolted upright in her bed. She took in massive, desperate gulps of air. Her chest heaved violently as fresh oxygen rushed into her burning lungs. The very last scene she remembered was the filthy, freezing flood water closing completely over her head. She vividly recalled the tearing agony after she had been bitten. Her hands flew frantically over her own body. She patted her arms, her legs, and her neck. She found absolutely no bruises. She felt no wet blood. The ragged, gaping bite wound on her arm was completely gone. Her skin felt incredibly soft, smooth, and genuinely healthy for the first time in what seemed like years."How is this physically possible?" Hailey whispered softly to herself, her voice trembling slightly in the quiet room.She stumbled quickly across the bedroom floor and stopped right in front of the tall mirror above the vanity. The reflection staring back showed a woman with incredibly bright eyes and flawlessly clear skin. Her voluminous, dark h
