Liani

Then just as she leaves I hear the door open again. Who could it be this time?

It was Kaia, what a relief she is here. I need a hug from my best friend right now

"hey" she says with a smile

"what's wrong?" she asks seeming concerned as I haven't responded to her

"Hadyen" I say walking from behind the counter and towards her slowly

"he c-cheated" I say but she stopped and just hugged me and I cried on to her shoulder

I never expected this to happen. I trusted him

"I thought he liked me" I tell her feeling the pain. I really thought he liked me

"hey, it's not your fault that he's ass and doesn't realise how amazing you are" she says in a comforting voice

"how long do you need to work for?" she asks me as I pull away from the hug to wipe my tears

"like an hour" I tell her

"Hey Liani just go home, I'll tell our boss you just got sick" Talia tells me with a smile

"thank you" I say to her with a small smile

"let's get you home" Kaia says and puts her hand on my back as we walk out to my car

When we get my car and I get in the passenger seat and buckle my seat belt and just sit back feeling disappointed in myself. Disappointed I didn't realise he was cheating on me

The journey home was silent, Kaia just drove me home and made sure i would be okay. She took me up to my bed and I just lay there. Of course this had to happen to me. But why?

Did I do something wrong?

I don't think I do anything wrong. So why did he do that? I want to know but I don't want to talk to him

"hey sweetie" my mum says pushing my door open

"you're still here?" I ask her confused

"yeah I'm leaving tonight, I heard what happened with you and Hayden" she says and sits on the side of my bed

"yeah, well things happen" I sigh

"I'm so sorry sweetie" she says and pats my head

"it's fine" I say and pull my blanket up some more

"do you want me to get you anything?" she asks me softly

"just some water" i say and roll over

"okay, I'll be back in a minute" she says and walks out

A hug could be very good right now. Just one of those hugs you can have that lasts feels like it's lasts for ages but yous don't talk. I want that right now

"here's your water" she says and it's it on my bed side table

"thanks" I says with a small smile

"I'll be downstairs if you need me" she smiles and walks out of my room and closes the door

Then my phone rings

An unknown number... Ugh

I decide to answer it as I have nothing better to do

"hello Liani, I'll see you soon" the voice said

"and who's this?" I ask them confused as I sit up

"you'll remember me, don't worry. We have alot to catch up on" the voice says

"and how do I know you?" I ask them

"I'm an old friend I guess" the voice says with a laugh at the end

"okay well bye" I say and end the call

Okay. That was weird

I end up falling asleep not long after the call and before I know it, it's morning. My first thought is I need to go to work but I don't have work today

I look at my phone and see I have 4 messages from hayden and 2 miss calls

Can I not just like a guy that won't treat me like shit?

I get up out of bed and go to find a fresh pair of clothes to wear as I completely forgot to change when I came home

I then brush my hair and teeth. Then I go downstairs to see that my mum is gone. I forgot she said she was going to leave

Maybe I should message the boys, they'll probably cheer me up well.
I've probably left them all wondering why I haven't said anything again

I feel like such a bad friend
