Bet On Us

6. My Broken Heart

"What are you doing here?" Asked Millie
"I'm not here to make up with you, I'm just here to see if you've heard from Katie" Miah replied

Millie crossed her arms, and when she does that it means she's pissed off.
Oh dear god!

"No I haven't, I haven't heard from her since she moved to London" Millie answered

The tone in her voice had changed, and gone from happy to now a pissed off hulk.

"Oh right, she's not here is she? Because I thought I noticed her car" Miah replied

SHIT!
Miah is a twat for breaking my trust, but she isn't thick.

"No that's mine, I've just brought it" Millie answered
"Oh. That's nice, anyway if you do hear from her tell her to meet me or call" Miah responded
"Will do, bye" Millie cried

Millie closed the door, and sighed as a sign of relief.
Thank god, I'm glad that's over with.
I thought she was going to bash the door down.
Miah isn't a twat to start on Millie, as she has kids in the house.

"You can come out now" Millie whispered

I slowly climbed out of the box, and grabbed my bag, I sighed with relief.

"I'm glad she's gone" I replied
"Me too" Millie smiled
"I'm sorry, I've put you through this Mills" Katie cried

I sat down on the sofa, with my palms over my eyes. I started crying, I don't know why. Maybe, it was due to stress. I hated crying in front of people, especially Millie. She probably has loads of issues of her own, she don't need me crying on her sofa.

"Awe Kat, don't cry. You'll make me cry" Millie replied

Millie sat down beside me, and put her arm around me and hugged me tight. Millie was my oldest friend, and the most trusted friend.
She was my rock, when I've needed her.

"I'm sorry Mills, I don't mean to put you through this" I cried
"Tell me what happened Kat, in your own time" Millie replied

I told Millie the whole story, what happened at the nightclub, the bloke who was going to shoot Miah and I stopped it from happening. And now, Miah trying to frame me, I've done nothing wrong.
Millie was speechless, she didn't know what to say.
It was fair to say, Millie hated Miah more for what she done to me and her.

"That's exactly why I don't get on with her, she tried making me abort my boys. I told her to piss off" Millie cried

18:00pm

Millie made dinner for her boys, husband and me. Of course, herself.
We all sat down at the table, and had a conversation while eating dinner. It was a lovely atmosphere, I felt so welcomed. They had a beautiful family.
Millie's husband was lovely.
His name was Harry, he had fair brown hair, blue eyes, and was 6ft 2.
I could see Harry looked after Millie, they looked happy together.
I wished I had that.
I will soon find it.

20:00pm

Millie put the boys to bed, and I read them a bed time story. I tucked them in, and went downstairs to have a few cocktails and watched multiple movies with Millie.

Harry had to go to bed, he had to be up early for work.
Bless his heart!

It was Sunday morning, I awoke to the sound of Charlie playing with his cars.
Mason was eating his toast in his high chair.
I slept like a baby, there sofa was so comfy.

"Morning Kat, did you want any toast luv?" Millie asked
"Yes please Mills, and a coffee too if you don't mind" I cried
"No not at all, you're my guest and also my best friend" Mills replied

I walked over towards Millie, rubbed my eyes, and yawned.

I'm dreading going back to London" I cried
"I don't blame you Kat, I wish you could stay. You've been lovely company to me and my boys" Millie answered
"Awe Mills, I'll be coming up again soon. I promise you" I responded
"I know you will" Millie smiled

Millie made me a coffee, it looked exactly like Starbucks. I've always told her she had a talent, for being a barista. Millie didn't believe me.

"Just be careful when you go back, you'll have psycho Miah on your case" Millie replied

"I really hope she has gone back" I answered

"Me too, she was with a man yesterday. Is that her partner?" Millie asked

"No, it's her cousin Robert" I replied still yawning

"No way! I only remember him being young" Millie answered

"I've got to work alongside him, when I go back. I'm dreading it now" I replied

"I forgot you're working there Tuesday, I feel bad for you. If Miah starts, I'll come down there" Millie smiled

"Thank you Millie, but it's okay" I cried

I finished eating my toast and drinking my coffee, I started to get dressed into a cozy tracksuit. Brushed my teeth, done my hair, and put mascara on. I slid my socks and trainers on.

Thank you for letting me stay Mills, I'll see you soon" I cried

"I'll see you soon" Mills smiled

"Bye boys" I cried

I hugged them both so tight, I didn't want to let go. They were my family, Millie was the closest I have to family.

I opened the door, and walked towards my car. I put my belongings In the back, and closed the door behind me. I got into my seat, and put the keys in, put my seatbelt on.

And off on the road I went.

10:00am

There was loads of traffic coming back, I don't get how.
It's a bloody SUNDAY!
I hope Miah has gone home, and I hope Robert don't turn up at my place uninvited.

I can see why they're related, because they're both arseholes.

11:30am

I arrive in London, and it's pouring it down with rain, what crap weather!

I park up, and I debate whether I should run for my life so I don't get soaked. Or I stay in my car, and wait for the rain to stop.

Fuck it!

I grab my bag, my keys and hop out of the vehicle. Lock my car, and run to my flat.
I put the keys into the lock, twist and open my door.
I close the door, and put my bag on the table.

Everything was as it was, the way I left it, it feels like I've gone away for a year.

Suddenly, I hear a knock.

I start to panic, my heart starts racing, and my blood starts to boil.

I look through the peephole, to see who it is, wow it's Robert.
What the fuck does he want?

I open the door...
