"Wow." she breathed.
I nodded at her sadly, not really sure what to say.
"Why didn't he say anything?" she frowned.
He was too drunk, he doesn't remember what happened." I muttered.
"Have you tried talking to him about it?" she asked quietly.
"There's no point." I answered.
"But he might feel the same." she pointed out.
"He definitely doesn't." I told her.
"You don't know that." she tried.
"I do, I've known him a long time." I pointed out.
She looked at me as I sat staring at the floor. I knew that she wanted to help, but didn't know what to say or do to improve the situation.
"I'll be fine, I'll get over him eventually." I said, trying to reassure her.
I felt sorry for her, the last thing I wanted was to drag her down as well.
"Do you want me to talk to him?" she offered.
"No, it's fine!" I exclaimed, starting to panic at the thought of her telling him how I felt.
"Promise it will stay between us two, you can't tell anyone, not even Nath." I pleaded.
"Promise." she said smiling warmly.
"Thanks hun." I said as I pulled her into a hug.
"No problem sweetie." she replied as she hugged me back.
I quickly removed myself from her arms as I heard the bedroom door open. I gasped as Jay stood in the doorway. Sophie and I glanced at each other before turning back to him.
"I just wanted to check that you are okay?" he asked me.
"Yep I'm fine." I said shortly.
I could see Sophie fidgeting uncomfortably on the bed. The air was thick with tension. I stood in front of him.
"I'm sorry that I didn't take better care of you last night." he said quietly.
I could tell from his tone that he felt guilty, but right now I didn't care.
"Well I'm not your responsibility, so you're off the hook!" I snapped.
He frowned and watched me, waiting for me to look at him. I continued staring at the floor.
"Are you angry with me?" he asked quietly.
"Nope." I said as I walked past him.
I stopped as I felt him take my wrist, to keep me from walking away.
"Let go of me!" I hissed.
"Tell me what's wrong?" he begged.
"None of your damn business." I said angrily.
"We used to be close, I miss how things were." he said quietly.
"Tough." I shrugged as I stared at his hand, waiting for him to let go.
I knew that I was being really harsh, but I just couldn't bring myself to even look at him. Being in his presence was a constant reminder of what we could've had.
Eventually he let go of my hand, I began to walk away when I heard him muttering.
"What did you say?!" I exclaimed as I rounded on him.
"I said this is getting ridiculous, I'm sick of playing these games all the time." he snapped.
"What games?!" I said defensively.
"Your mood swings are giving me whiplash and you never tell me what's going on!" he snapped.
"I don't trust you anymore!" I cried.
He blinked at me in shock, I could see that ny words had cut into him.
"Either that or you're jealous!" he said angrily.
"Of what?!" I exclaimed.
"The fact that my career is going well and yours is on hold!" he shouted.
I gasped as he said those words. I felt a surge of anger in my stomach. How dare he say that, the reason my career was on hold was because I chose to follow him and Nathan. I could feel my blood boiling. I slapped him hard on the cheek. I heard Sophie squeal in shock. I stood and watched him as he stared at me, my breathing heavy.
I walked away from him and made my way downstairs.
"Anna!" he called from the top of the stairs.
I ignored him and carried on walking.
"Is everything okay?" Max asked as I walked past him.
"Walk with me." I muttered to him.
He nodded and fell into step beside me.
"Anna wait, I'm sorry!" Jay called.
I took Max's hand and carried on walking.
"Where are we going?" he asked me quietly.
"You and me are going out for a while." I told him.
"Do I get a say in this?" he asked winking at me.
"Nope." I grinned at him.
