1 week later :

I stumble through our apartment door, it's late, like really late. I have just left Enzo's house as I wanted to come home as I haven't been home in like a week. I feel guilty because I haven't spent as much time with Nancy as I usually do, I think she'll be awake now though as she usually stays up till midnight. I hear chatter which makes me furrow my brows and shut the door quietly, I creep down the hallway and stand outside Nancys room.

I hear whispering and shuffling, I open the door quickly and see Nancy looking like a deer caught in headlights. There is no one in here but she keeps darting her eyes to her bathroom which makes me narrow my eyes at her. I walk slightly into her room, peeking my head around the door where I see a mop of dark brown hair dart behind the door, i glance back at Nancy to see her nervously chewing on her cheek, her eyes not meeting mine.

"Who is in there Nancy?" I ask, a weird feeling in my gut.

"Umm" she starts, her fingers fiddling with each other.

"It's me Lila" I hear...Luciano? What the fuck.

"Luci?!" I exclaim, watching as he emerges from the bathroom.

I dart my eyes between the two of them, waiting for a response on what the fuck is happening. Luciano drops his eyes to the floor as he walks out of the bathroom, Nancy watching him.

"We we're gonna tell you" he starts, his eyes staring into mine.

"Sure" I roll my eyes, getting fed up of being just stood here aimlessly.

"Lila-" Nancy starts, holding her hand out towards me.

"Save it, when you're ready to be honest, text me" I say, annoyance in my voice. I turn and walk out of her room.

I know Enzo and I are dating but at least we had the decency to tell Luciano and not hide it from him. This must be who Nancy has been seeing for a few months and being secretive around me, I scoff and I find myself sat in my car, no recollection of how I got here. I can't believe they didn't tell me, I thought Nancy trusted me more than that. I feel my eyes wet slightly, not at the actual relationship between them, but at how after 20 years of friendship Nancy didn't feel like she could trust me with this information. Even Luciano could've told me, he always says how I'm his favourite sibling, obviously not.

Once I'm ready to drive, I decide to drive to Enzo's, he'll make me feel better about everything.

I pull up in Enzo's underground car park and step out my car, locking the doors as I go. I get in the elevator, pressing his button, feeling as the metal box ascends the building. A ping rings out around me and I step out once the doors have opened, coming to his door. I knock heavily and wait for him to come to the door. I hear footsteps approaching the doors which makes my head lift, my eyes meeting Enzo's once he is revealed by the door.
