Colleagues to lovers

Chapter 24

The conversation with the girls did help. They were laughing a lot less. As if they didn't have the courage to do it anymore. Sarah had hoped for that, and it worked. She wants to be happy about it, but she's not. She simply does not think about the victory, but only about the things that are not good yet. She wants to feel good about herself for a while. But it is just all too much for Sarah. She just doesn't want to come home and then see her husband and think she can leave him. And that hurts her so much. She could be happy with Lyanna, but she feels like she's stuck with her husband. But luckily she has Lyanna to cheer her up. It is as if Lyanna knows Sarah better than Sarah knows herself. Lyanna came to Sarah after class to check on her.

"Hey Sarah, are you okay?", Lyanna asks. "I talked to Ellie and Hailey during class today. I think they got scared of me," Sarah said. "You talked to them? That's really good of you! I'm proud," Lyanna said. "I have to let it go. I have enough shit I need to fix," Sarah said. "And I do want to help you fix your shit, only if you want to," Lyanna said. "Gladly Lyanna. I'm glad you're here for me," Sarah said. "Always Sarah. Just tell me what to do," Lyanna said. "Do you want to go talk to my husband. And then you can find out if he wants to continue with our marriage or maybe not," Sarah said. "Sure Sarah. I'll be there tonight around eight. Does that sound good?", Lyanna asks. "Okay then I'll tell my husband I'll have a drink with the girls then," Sarah said. "Alright. I'll see you later tonight then", Lyanna said. "I'm going to check some more tests if you don't mind," Sarah said. "Oh no sure. I'm already going. I have to take care of some things anyway. Talk to you later," Lyanna said. "Talk to you later Lyanna," Sarah said.

Sarah had to check some tests and then she had a meeting with other French teachers. So she had a busy schedule for the afternoon. But Lyanna didn't have to check test nor go to a meeting. She did stay at school for a little longer to talk to a few people. First, she wanted to talk to Avery. So Lyanna went to her classroom and knocked on the door and then she came in. She looked in the classroom and she stared at Avery. 

"What the hell is wrong with you?", Lyanna asked in shock. "Look Lyanna, I can explain," Avery said. "No do not try to explain it. I will talk to you tomorrow. I see that your busy too," Lyanna said. "Please Lyanna," Avery said, but Lyanna was already gone. "What did I just do?", Avery thought. 

Lyanna felt like she was betrayed once more. All the people that she liked or loved, have been stabbing her in the back. She felt so miserable. "What did I do to deserve this?", Lyanna thought. She felt so bad. So she decided to go to Daisy. To go talk to her. So she walked to the classroom where Daisy was sitting and she knocked on the door. Daisy said that she could come in. Lyanna saw that Daisy was doing something on her computer.

"Hey Lyanna, what's up?", Daisy asks. "I feel super bad," Lyanna said. "Yeah, I can see that. What happened?", asks Daisy. "Avery! First I see her talking to Sarah in a bathroom stall, well that didn't seem like talking. And now I see her talking to my ex and all fun while sitting on his lap. Fucking traitor," Lyanna said. "What a fucking piece of shit. Is there anything I can do for you?", asks Daisy. "Don't know Daisy. I don't really know what to do either. Everything is going in the wrong direction," Lyanna said. "Just don't worry about it. You just know to stay away from Avery, she won't make you happy but just the opposite," says Daisy. "I know, but she's a friend of Sarah's and Avery does make her happy. And I don't want Sarah to be less happy because of me," Lyanna said. "Tell Sarah the whole story and I'm sure she'll understand you. And you don't have to be friends with your friends' friends," says Daisy. "Okay I'm going to talk to Sarah about it tomorrow. I have to prepare for an interrogation first," Lyanna said. "An interrogation? What else are you going to do today?", Daisy asks. "Oh I'm going to investigate if someone still loves someone else," Lyanna said. "That's still very vague. But I'm not going to ask you any questions because I'm probably not going to understand it anyway. Good luck," says Daisy.

Lyanna walks out of the classroom. She looks for a quiet spot, which apparently was the teachers' lounge. She looks for an empty table and puts her things there. Then she gets busy thinking of questions, and in her head she is then thinking of possible answers. That's just automatic with her. In two hours, she fully prepared for the conversation with Sarah's husband. She is quite nervous, but so is Sarah. They are both hoping for the best outcome. But what is the best outcome in this case?
