Addison and Derrick have been married for five years as they sat there eating dinner. Addison handed Derrick the papers and as he opened them he had a surprise look on his face.

"I thought things were getting better for us, is the counseling not working?"

"Obviously not. I want a divorce" Addison stated.

"But I love you and want this marriage to work" replied Derrick.

"Well you should have thought of that before I caught you fucking Izzy in our bed or found out that you have been sleeping with her for the last year" Addison yelled at him.

She was so mad "I can't stand to look at you." Tears were streaming down her face as she got up from the table and went into the hall closet. Addison grabbed a couple of small over night bags walked into the guest room and started stuffing clothes into them.

"Where are you going?" he growled out.

"I can't stand to look at you right now! I can't stay here" she chocked out as she grabbed her cell phone and dialed Callie's number. She walked into the living room and noticed that dinner and broken plates were on the floor. Callie picked up on the third ring "Hello" she said, but no reply came. She listened closely and she could hear Derrick in the back ground yelling.

"Hold on Addison I am on my way". She slid on her clogs and jumped in her car speeding all the way there. (in her head I will fucking kill him if he hurts her).

"Addison you don't have to leave we can work this out please"

"No you love her, not me" You don't sleep with somebody for a the last year of our marriage and not love them.

" That is not true you are my wife, of course I love you.".

Callie pulls her car into the drive way and knocks on the door, but nobody answers, She can hear yelling coming from inside, so she gets the key from under the flower pot by the door and unlocks the door. As she walks through the house she sees the dinner on the floor along with the broken dishes. Her heart is in her throat as she gets closer to their bedroom. The door is open and Derrick is holding Addison by the shoulders. "Stop being a bitch and think about it. Do you really want to leave me?" Callie had seen and heard enough. She stood in the door way "Let her go now!" she said in an ominous tone and both of them turned around.

"What in the hell are you doing here?" Derrick asked.

"Addison get the rest of your stuff you're staying the night with me." Callie said not responding to Derrick. Addison went into the guest room and grabbing her packed clothes. Callie walked up to Derrick.

" If you hit her or come near her I will hurt you".

Callie went in to the living room to wait for Addison to finish collecting her things. About 15 minutes later they left. Derrick was sitting on the bed stunned that she had left him. In the car neither woman spoke, partly out of mut but mostly because neither knew what to say in this situation. As they pulled into the drive way, Addison said "thank you" and reached over to hug her friend. Once inside Callie sat the bags in the guest room and then went to the mini bar and poured them both a drink. "I think you might need this" as she handed the glass to Addison.

"Do you want to talk about it" asked Torres.

"Not tonight maybe tomorrow. I just want to sleep right now"

They drank the rest of their gin and went to bed. Addison layed in the bed crying thinking 'how in the hell did my life get so messy and how can I fix it' as Torres walked by and heard crying it was then and there she decided if Derrick hurts Addie again he would have to go through her first.

The next moring Callie got up, went into the kitchen and saw a note on the counter. She picked it up it said "Thanks for last night. I went home to get my car, then I have errands to run. I will call you later. Addie". Tons of things were going through her mind 'what if he was there when she got there waiting for her. Things had gotten way out of control last night. She was really keyed up if she called her. Now she would sound like a raving lunatic.' Callie jumped in the shower, got out, got dressed. The shower had calmed her down a lot. When she picked up her phone she noticed that she had missed a call from Kayla. She would call her back after she talk to Addie. "Hello" Addison answered, out of breath. "Addie are you ok? Is he there?" It all came out in one breath. "Whoa Torres, breath."

"I am fine, no he is on call at the hospital today that is why I came by".

"Why do you sound out of breath then"

"Putting the rest of my things in the car. I have to see the lawer later today, so can I call you when I leave her office?"

"Sure when you're finished I can meet you at Dean and Dulcea's at about 3pm, is that good for you?".

"Sure see you then" and the phone call ended. Just as she was putting all her degree's in the box Derrick walked through the door.

"Why are there boxes in your car?" he asked.

"What were you not here last night? We're done Derrick! I am going through with the divorce. My attorney will be contacting you" and she left. Addison arrived at Mcdoolge and Associates and waited for Marrissa to see her. They walked into Marissa's office and sat down. "As your attorney, Since he is going to fight you on this, it could take some time. You're entiled to half of the value of your house and half of the value of any stocks or bonds, if you had any. How do you want to handle things?". "Well, he can keep the house, I am willing to split the stocks. You might have to supena our therapist. Other than that we're good."

"I will be contacting his lawyer and call you very soon. Oh before I forget where are you staying now?" asked Marissa.

"I am staying with a friend right now, but I will have a house by next week".

She got in her car and stopped to get a paper and then headed to the coffee shop. When Addison got there she saw Torres sitting by the window. She sat down as a waitress came over to take their orders.

"What did the lawyer say?"

"Marrissa said it would take a while since he wants to contest it. I told her he can have the house." Addison answered "Do you know any real-estate agents?"

"You can stay with me while you are look for the right house, if you want" said Callie.

"Are you sure, what about Kayla?"

"She is my girlfriend, not my mother and besides you're my best friend and it is in the BFF handbook that I am always there for you no matter what" she stared at Addie for a second. Th waitress came by the table and the moment was gone.

"The next time you have to go over there you let me go with you." said Callie.

"Well I won't need to go back, I have all my thing in my car, but Derrick did come back while I was packing the last of my things. Can you believe that he had the nerve to ask me why the boxes were in my car?"

"Did he touch you?" Callie asked in a calm tone, but inside she was boiling mad.

"No" Addison replied with tears in her eyes that she refused to let fall. "How could he do that to me, was I not enough? What does Izzy have that I don't?"
