A New Kind of Love.

Part 7

As we arrive to Robert's apartment complexion we stay in the car for a bit, Sebastian rests his hand on my thigh. " Are you completely sure you want to do this?" He questions. "I'm sure".

We made our way inside I felt an uneasy feeling, something bad. " Just stand out here I'll be quick", I anxiously assure. I use the keys Robert gave me and quickly make my way inside. " Joanne! You're here already. Do you want something to drink?" Robert exclaimed with a big smile on his face. " Yeah just some water", I dryly respond. " Yeah I'll go get it , go ahead and sit down", he makes his way over to the kitchen.

His phone starts buzzing continuously. I try to ignore it but the buzzing makes me anxious , I grab it and something catches my attention. It's Rosalie, not that it's odd that they text each other. Something feels off.

It pokes my curiosity. I unlock his phone and look at their messages.

Rosalie 8:48am- what the hell was that last night? What is wrong with you.

Rosalie- I'm pregnant and thought you should know. I won't meet up with you to tell you this, you disgust me Robert. I'm ashamed my baby's father has to be you.

Rosalie- Don't even worry about Joanne, I'll find something to tell her,Goodbye.

My heart drops. My best friend with my boyfriend. Though Robert and I are officially done, it pains me my best friend would do something like that to me? Her? my best friend since childhood.

They were hiding this from me for how long? she's my best friend she should've knew better than him. I can accept men are pigs, they lie and they cheat but with my best friend? That's something off a story.

" Hey here's your water", he attempts to gently hand me the glass of water. But I'm pissed, and this is something I can't just forgive from either of them. I snatch the glass of water and throw the glass at him. " You're a goddamn pig. To get my best friend pregnant and lie to me? You're one pathetic excuse of a man. We're done here- we've been done", I shout furiously. I stomp out his apartment and listen to Sebastians obnoxious steps behind me.

" Hey hey?? What happened? I heard you shouting", he stops me with a concerning look on his face.

" Not only did he try to take advantage of me. He's been sleeping with Rosalie. She's pregnant", I stomp my leg like an angry child who's throwing a tantrum. He attempts to rub the side of my shoulder to calm me down but it's not use. I walk off angrily to the car.

The whole ride back to my penthouse it's silent, I try to go over what I'm going to say but I'm completely out of it. There's no words that explain how I feel. I'm many emotions at once, disappointed, sad, angry etc. How will I tell her all that? A wave of agony hits me, I'll have to let go of her. It pains me but I don't think I'll forgive her. She's been a hypocrite this whole time, reminding me how perfect my relationship is or how I should try to give him a shot.

If she knew he was bad why would she still carry on telling me all of that? We finally make it to the penthouse, I quickly hustle my way to the penthouse, all I can hear is my loud footsteps and Sebastian shouting at me, but I can't hear what he's saying. I'm in my own world , completely out of it. I don't care what he says right now, I care about what I'm feeling.

I stomp inside the penthouse and over to my room, I grab a check and write it down for 5k that should be enough for her to find herself some place else to live.

" Rosalie!!" I shout angrily. She comes running out of her room with a confused look, I don't know what comes over me but I approach her , and plaster a hard slap across her face, her hair flies back as I notice her cheek become red.

" What the fuck Joanne?" she exclaims as she holds her stinging cheek.

" You thought you could keep a secret from me? You're pregnant with Roberts baby , I could've expected him to cheat but with you? my own best friend of childhood. You're like a sister to me", her face fills with worry, embarrassment.

" Joanne, that's not how things happened I wanted to tell you but-

" But what? I don't care for your explanations, I want you out of here", I shout at her; her eyes fill with tears, and a creep of chills travels up my spine, guilt. I can't feel guilty for feeling, I remind myself, she fucked me over.

I hand her the check. " This is enough for you to find somewhere else to stay, the rest is your problem. I'll be out. When I come back I don't want to find you or your things here", I angrily stare trying to hold myself from slapping her again.

"Oh my god? that's what you two were talking about when I walked in on you being all weird", A realization hits me, the signs have been there all along.

" Joanne please- I'm so sorry, you're my best friend I never meant for any of this to get this far-

"You should've thought about it before you went and slept with him." I finish off. I walk off angrily and find Sebastian standing at the door. "Let's go Sebastian", I order.

" Go where Joanne?" He asks as he tries to catch up to my fast walking. " I don't care where, just take me anywhere. Away from here", I coldly respond. " Joanne-

" Just do it Sebastian. God", I turn around to look at him. " I understand you're hurt but you need to try and calm down", he pulls me in, my body relaxes, I sigh. " How am I supposed to relax, she's like a sister to me Sebastian", I look down, tears filling my eyes. The knot in my throat forms. He wraps his arms around me, I let myself melt into his arms.

" I'm sorry for all that the world does to you Joanne", he rests his chin on top of my head, rubbing my back.

" Joanne-

" I never meant to push you away", Sebastians voice soft and smooth. I take a deep breath and hold him tighter, as a way to tell him it's okay.
