Same script, different cast

You can't fix yourself by breaking someone else

He's inquisitive and I feel the heat from him standing closely behind me watching the screen, when I was at university my dorm mate showed me the best places to search for dirt on people, it was highly illegal but very useful as long as you didn't abuse it.

"Looking for shit on Hannah, you called her yet?” he shakes his head no “Marsh please call her, I don't want her hanging over us and I'm not having her threatening you with this bull Shit, not when I can fix it and it's my fault you've been dragged into this"

He sighs heavily “Ok I'm calling her now but I'm telling you this if that fucking bitch lays one hand on you, I won't be responsible for my actions!” he picks up his phone and I listen to him arranging a hook up with her, truth be told I don't want to go off and leave things not sorted with her, I would just spend my time worrying about what they were up to.
I text Vi and let her know what time I'll pick her up.
First search on her tells me everything I need to know, Hannah doesn't seem to be particularly smart when it comes to hiding things about herself.
Marshall and I pick up Vi an hour later and head towards the motel they usually meet at, it's everything I thought it would be, seedy, dirty and just generally disgusting, he picks the keys up and we head towards the room, I bet the guy at reception thinks Marshall having a threesome, the thought makes me giggle as he lets us in the room.

My face scrunches up at the state of the room, it smells damp and there's mould in the corners of the walls.

“You really don’t think much of her do you?” I aim at him

“No,  I told you this already!”

Violet laughs in the corner and my ears prick up at the sound of a car pulling up outside the room “She’s here" he says.

Violet and I go in the bathroom and close the door behind us

“Annie! Are we getting physical here?” I giggle, Vi looks worried

“don't think we'll need to but ya never know!”

I tease her grinning and move closer to the door putting my ear against it, I hear her knocking on the door and Marshall moving to let her in, it's quiet, too quiet and for a minute I'm worried he's kissing her.

The door slams shut though and I hear her speaking

“I shouldn't be talking to you by rights, keep hanging up on me to spend time with her"

She sounds like a whiny assed bitch.

Marshall snorts “She is my partner, the woman I love Hannah"

she laughs at him “For now, till she finds out about me, which she won't if you start behaving!”
Marshall laughs and is not the good kind of laughter it's the 'I'm about to kick off' kind a laugh and he begins raising his voice, I silently pray for him to keep his shit together.

"What do you want from me Hannah, because you can have it, whatever it is just fucking take it! I just want rid of you"

I'm stunned by the things he's saying to her, I think I'm more shocked because he sounds completely defeated, he's trying to stop me from putting in an appearance here.
Vi looks at me rolling her eyes.

“Marshall I just want you, that's all, I'm making you feel better aren't I”

She probably sounds seductive to him but to me she sounds borderline sarcastic, and I just know she's touching him, flipping her stupid shiny hair around.

“Hannah get the fuck off of me, it's not happening any more, I want Annie, not you!” 

His voice is becoming high pitched a sure sign of his anger becoming uncontrollable. I feel the tension between them through the door, I want to go out there and hurt her but Vi has grabbed my wrist and holds me still.

“ Marshall you weren't saying that when we were fucking two nights ago, you were certainly enjoying yourself and not giving her a second thought then"

Marshall screams out 'fuck' like someone's hurt him and if I could see him right now I know he'll be bent over holding his head like he's in pain.
Violets grip on me increases “Let him handle this" she whispers.
I nod but inside the rage is burning. Something hits the door with a thud and I presume it's them because his voice is crystal clear now

“I was fucking enjoying it because I was thinking about her you dumb cunt! Every time I was inside you I was thinking about Annie, it’s always going to be her, don't you get that"

He carries on swearing and I look down at the paperwork in my hand and take a deep breath, I can't stand hearing him frustrated and angry any more, I need to end this.
Looking at Violet she nods her head and relinquishes her grip on my wrist and I'm free to go fuck this bitch up

“Annie"

Vi whispers sharply making me turn round to face her

“Be clear headed about this, don't let her get the better of you and keep calm for fuck sake.”

Hugging her quickly I turn back to the door and opening it I step outside.
