"You okay?" Dotty asked hesitantly, handing me a cup of tea "No" I said, I'd only just been able to stop crying I know me and Tommy weren't together That we had never spoke about how we actually feel.
Well... I had never admitted how I truly feel But after dinner, having sex again after all this time and him saying I love you.
That sitting so unresolved between us. And he... he fucks one of my best friends While I'm in the next room. Why would he do that? Why would he do that to me?
"Please don't start crying again darling" Dotty said, pulling me into her side for a hug "I just don't know what I did wrong Dot, he says he's fine with us stopping what we had, then he kissed me after all that time apart and said it was just a kiss, that it meant nothing. Then he... we... and he says that. Immediately takes it back and then fucks Georgie? Georgie?!" I said upset, tears spilling out of my eyes, blurring my vision.
I couldn't take it. I couldn't take this utter pain in my chest
"I can't believe her. Fucking whore" Dotty said bluntly "Dot" I said "No, she knew your situation, she knew he was off limits, not to mention her boyfriend sat at home, a Lee at that!" She said.
She was right. Maloney was not going to be happy when he found out, if he hadn't already.
Because if there was one thing I was certain on, it was that she was not getting off lightly with this. And neither was he.
Tommy's POV
"Morning" Freddie said bluntly, I groaned, lifting myself up off the sofa My head was banging I saw Danny asleep on the floor, as well as a few other people lying around "What happened?" I asked.
"That's what I'd like to know" he said, standing over me "What?" I asked confused He sighed, handing me the glass of water in his hand Before he sat on the edge of the coffee table
"What do you remember about last night?" Freddie asked. "Uh, not much" I said honestly, I remember drinking. "So, you don't remember fucking Georgie, practically announcing it to the whole house and breaking Mariana's heart?" He asked.
I was so confused, and then it hit me like a train
"Are you okay?" "I've always thought there was a... connection between us" "No one has to know"
"Fuck" I cursed, dropping my head in my hands "Fuck indeed" Freddie agreed "Where is she?" I asked "Dorothy's, and she doesn't want to see you" he said.
