Just one night...

Chapter 13

Oh no. Why was he here? What on earth do I say? What do I do?
'What are you doing here' I asked him walking past him and unlocking the front door.
'I thought it would be nice to come over here and stay the night. So I came over not long after you left mine, to find your car wasn't here and neither were you! Where you been? Thought you were tired and coming straight home?'
'A friend needed me' I lied. I felt so bad lying 'I had to go and see them, make tauter they were okay.'
'What friend? I know it's not Alice because I messaged her'
Oh for fuck sake! Why did he message Alice???!
'It wasn't Alice. It was a friend from school. An old friend that I don't see very often, but I said I'd always be there for her if she needed'
'Pass me your phone'
'What? No.'
Cassie, pass me your phone! I want to see who messaged you earlier'
'No' I replied 'I told you it was PLT'
'PLT?? You told me it was Tesco?'
Oh shit!
'Oh yeah Tesco. I forgot. I'm always getting texts from company. I get confused'
I was stood in the doorway. Not letting him in.
'Who is he?'
'Excuse me?'
'Who are you seeing behind my back?'
'Cam what are you on about? Im not seeing anyone behind your back?'
'Yes you are' he shouted 'you've never given me yourself fully. There's someone else I can tell. He was around when we first starting seeing each other. I could always tell there was someone else on your mind'
Oh no! What do I do? Do I tell him the truth?
He doesn't deserve this. He isn't a bad person at all.
'Tell me Cas!
'It's an ex' I admitted 'we ended it 6 weeks before I started with you. I've never properly gotten over him. When I was in Ibiza I saw him, but nothing happened. I promise you nothing happened. I was with the girls day and night'
'What about tonight? What happened tonight with him? Who is he? Marcus?'
'Nothing happened' I lied! 'We just spoke about our life's this past year. No it wasn't Marcus'
'Does Alice know who he is?'
'No. Alice never met him' again, I lied!
'Why did you lie to me? Why didn't you just tell me who messaged you?' He was still shouting.
'Because'
'Because what?' He asked.
Because it wasn't important'
'But it was important enough for you to leave mine and go and meet him???!'
'I'm sorry'
'Sorry! Fucking sorry! You have basically cheated on me Cassie. You've lied to me! Did you sleep with him? Tell me the truth Cassie'
I looked at him. I need to do the right thing and tell him, but I didn't want to hurt him more than I already have. 'No of course I didn't. We just spoke!'
He put his hands on his head 'we are over Cassie. I don't deserve this! I've been nothing but good to you. I've been devoted to you. I adored you. I can't believe you lied to me' he started walking away. 'I hope he makes you happy!'
I just stood there. Why did I have to lie about everything? Cam deserves better than that. I feel like such a bad person. He deserves better than me. He did the right thing by ending it with me as lovely as he was he wasn't Jack.

I got my phone out and messaged Jack 'cam was at my house when I pulled up home. He knows there's someone else, he doesn't know your name, but it's over between us'
He replied instantly 'good babe. You're mine'
