Jessica POV

I tossed and turned before letting out an uncomfortable sigh, and glancing at the clock on the bedside table. "Fuck" I said to myself barely above a whisper, as I tried my best to not wake Anthony up.

I shuffled into the kitchen rummaging through the freezer before settling on some vanilla ice cream, grabbing a spoon and a blanket as I got comfortable on the couch. "Needs something else, something salty"

I walked back into the kitchen staring at the snacks in the cabinet before grabbing the bag of chips, crushing them over the ice cream. I was satisfied, mindlessly shoving spoonfuls of ice cream into my mouth before my phone lit up and started to vibrate.

I threw the spoon back into the pint noticing Skylar's name across the screen. I watched as it continued to ring. I ran my hands over my face as the guilt came over me that I had purposely missed her call, but it was the middle of the night.

And we've been having the same conversation for days, and it was going nowhere. I let out a sigh before shoving another spoonful of ice cream into my mouth, as my phone lit up again.

[How do you know that Sky?]

[Check his Snapchat]

Curiously I went to open snapchat, but was stopped by Skyler calling me again. I sighed and gave in, "hello?" I said, barely above a whisper as I answered the call. "Jess" she whined out.

"I- I feel like I'm going crazy, I- I don't know what to think anymore" she said in between her sniffles. "And that's understandable babe, I know there's not much closure, with this whole situation" I said as she interrupted me.

"And where the fuck did he even meet her, do you think he was talking to her while we were still together?" she asked as her voice cracked. "I- I'm not to sure Sky, I really wish I had the answers you want" I said softly.

I cleared my throat, "but you really wanna waste your time, and give everything you have to someone like that?" I asked as soft sniffles came from the other end of the phone. "Come on, d- don't go silent on me because I'm telling you something you don't wanna hear"

"I just wanted what you, and Anthony have" she said as my stomach turned. I quickly furrowed my eyebrows, "what do you mean?" I asked.

She let out a sigh, "you've been with Anthony just as long as I've been with Dom. I stayed around for as long as I did thinking he'd change, or settle down" she said as I cleared my throat, but she continued.

"Anthony would never do something like this to you, he loves you to much" she said as my phone lit up.

[You're keeping me awake, trouble]

I let out a small smile, cause I knew exactly what he meant.

[Me?]

[New Text Message: Marshall Mathers]
[Yes, you]

[How so?]

[New Text Message: Marshall Mathers]
[I think you already know]
[You got me thinking about that sweet little pus]

As much as I loved Skyler, and felt for her, her voice was drowned out by the strong aching Marshall was causing. "Jess" I heard Anthony call out, as he walked into the living room.

I quickly cleared my throat, "yeah?" I said softly.

Anthony's face scrunched in confusion, "why are you on the couch, sweetheart?" he asked as he sat next to me. "I just, I wasn't sleeping that great and didn't want to wake you, and Sky called to talk about Dom" I said.

"Everything alright?" he asked as he played with the ends of my hair. I shook my head, "she's not doing great" I said as he nodded, and pursed his lips. "I'm sorry she's going through it, especially cause of one of my own" he said.

I let out a small scoff and looked down, still not used to his New York accent. "She thought he was the one, she would still marry him in a heartbeat" I said as Anthony pulled me into him and pressed his lips to my skin.

"I know you don't wanna see your friend hurt, and you're probably mad as hell at Dom. But know, that my girl never has to worry about none of that"
