Tangled in your love

"Stop filming me, it's too early" Pia giggled, pulling the duvet up over her face to block Jack's camera out.

"But you look so glowy in the morning" he laughed, pulling the duvet down as he filmed on snapchat, "before you put all that muck on"

The smile dropped from Pia's lips, instead of laying in bed as long as she normally would, she got up blocking every attempt Jack made at grabbing her. She left him sat in their room as she locked herself in the en suite, starting to brush her teeth and prepare herself for the day.

"Pia, man, are you on or something?? Like- why are you being like this?" Jack called as he looked at the door between him and her.

She couldn't make sense of any of the information she had, she knew that she was over reacting and Chloe was just their friend, she just couldn't help but resent him a little bit. She did trust him, or so she thought.
Pia walked back into the room and yawned as she sat at her dresser as she began taking out her rollers in silence.

Jack had no idea that anything was said about him and Chloe the night before, he thought his affair was safe and secret. He knew his acting was amazing and Pia was needy enough to brush his mistakes under the carpet everytime he made them. He watched her for a little while, looking for the attraction his 17 year old self found in her, she was still as pretty as she was before despite the insecurities she had fixed. The one trait that she still carried was the fact that she would always see the best in people, despite what they do to her. That's the only reassuring thing left for Jack, he knows she couldn't handle being alone after 5 years together, she didn't know anything other than him.
"Are you done yet?" He asked, scratching his head as she sprayed her hair.

"Mh, I'm going downstairs." She replied bluntly as she walked out, on her phone. Their flat was small, it was the only one she could convince him to pay for. Pia understood that not everyone had access to the sum of money she did, but she wasn't going to pay for everything for a grown man.

The kitchen was just as basic as the rest of the house, the cupboards all around the walls leaving little room for much else. The colour scheme had been chosen by her and Perrie, they were the only ones who seemed to care about the flat. The tiles were black to match the counter tops, the cupboards and floor white to contrast them.

Pia flicked the kettle on as her phone beeped, she picked it back up and opened the picture she had been sent. Suddenly, the floor seemed to spin beneath her as her heart race began to increase, it beating so hard she felt like it was about to pop out of her chest. She read the messages over and over again,

'This can't be true, he wouldn't do this to you' she told herself again and again, though she knew that he really had done it.

"What's your issue?" Maddy asked as she caught up with Pia, the pair walking down the pink corridors of the PLT HQ,

"I don't have an issue, I just want to leave because I have places to be" she said, opening the door to her office.
She pulled open the filing cabinet and located the file she needed within a second. "Here" she held it out to Maddy as she closed and locked the cabinet.
