Is it worth it?

Confrontation.

You wake up the next day and shake your head, remembering yesterdays events however, you don't remember anything after a few drinks at the bar. It's hard enough to concentrate with the raging headache you have.

"Fuck.." You mutter.

You get up out of bed and head downstairs. You notice Cate asleep on the couch cuddling a bottle of bourbon. You walk over to her, grab the bottle and tuck her into the blanket. You kiss her forehead, despite what happened you still love her with all of your heart. It's terrible because she's still the one who makes your heart race faster and slower at the same time. She's the only one you want to be with and you have to find some way to forgive her, losing her is not an option.

You grab a snack from the kitchen and sit on the other couch. You turn on the TV to watch something. She wakes up and looks over at you.

"Good morning.." She groans.

Her blonde messy hair and that morning voice make you so mother-fucking horny.

"Morning." You say coldly. God you hate being like this towards her.

"Y/n can we please talk?" She asks in almost a begging tone.

"Yeah." You nod.

She moves to sit next to you on the other couch.

"Okay, I did lie." She says taking a deep breath. "I did cheat on you and before you ask who, it was a one night stand."

You feel the tears start to fill your eyes and you look down. "Tell me everything."

"Are you sure?" She asks shocked. "I don't want to hurt you." She touches your hand and you push it off lightly. "I would never intentionally hurt you."

You scoot further from her. "Yes. I'm sure i want to hear it all. Please don't spare me any details."

She drops eye contact and looks at the floor ashamed. "I was at the b-"

"No. Look at me directly in my eyes." You say sternly.

She nods and raises her head. "I was at the bar and a young woman came up to me, she reminded me of you." She smiles at you. "The hair, the body shape and she had similar eyes, god those beautiful eyes of yours." Her smile fades and you notice her eyes filling with tears." I thought i'd never see them again, I thought i'd never see you again." Her voice shakes and is unsteady. "I was tipsy, not in the right headspace. Not that that's an excuse at all. I understand what i did was completely wrong." She grabs both of your hands. "and i will spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to you. Just please let me."

"What else did you do? Again please go into detail." You say sitting up straight.

"When her & I left the bar we went here. We started off by kissing and it started to get a little rough." Cate looks away, knowing this isn't going to end well. "She bit my lip and I moaned. She started taking off my jacket and leading us up the stairs." She fidgets with her hands so nervously. "She began kissing my neck and I lost it, she slipped her fingers into my jeans. She couldn't wait to fuck me and i was ready for it. In my mind i pictured you and pretended it was you. I never had wanted to sleep with someone else. It just happened."

"I can understand why you would've done that, if i were in that situation i don't know what id do." You take a deep breath. "Although it does hurt terribly to think about you and another woman." You start crying. "Part of me understands and the other half is so upset that i want to cry & drink 24/7." You smile at her. "Can you just hold me?"

"Of course. I'd love nothing more than to comfort you."

"Thank you." You say leaning into her. You cry into her arms and she starts crying as well.
