The Loveless Letter (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 15

POV: Bree

I shut my laptop off, and slammed it closed with a huff and wanted to scream out in frustration.

I tried to center myself for a moment, and I shut my eyes, but... that didn't help because I could feel the sting of tears in my eyes.

This wasn't supposed to be like this.

Everything was all wrong.

So wrong...

Liv and I fighting wasn't something I wanted to do, but I couldn't keep myself in check at the bakery. The bitch just kept pushing and pushing. She was driving me up the fucking wall and I couldn't stop my spiraling emotions. Then when I followed Liv out of the bakery when we were done with the tasting, I charged to at her like a woman on a mission and...

I lashed out.

I was so fucking stupid.

So stupid.

Now I'm paying for it in the worst of ways...

And I know it's my fault...

I should have just controlled myself, but of course, I couldn't.

I tried to call Liv, but she wouldn't answer. It was eating me alive. I wanted so badly to talk to her... to explain... to apologize... I missed her more than I could admit, too... I couldn't focus on anything that I needed to do. The wedding was supposed to be the main thing on my mind, but honestly could care less about that at the moment. My best friend meant more at the moment than a rushed wedding.

I don't know why I acted the way I acted did.

I should have gotten over these emotions...

I knew Liv would date, but I didn't know it would be so soon.

And Taylor of all people?!

Liv deserved so much better than her.

I've heard stories about the woman from Henry and none of them made me want to have her as a friend.

So, why would Liv want to even date someone like her?

But I shouldn't have been such an ass...

At the moment Liv took a majority of my headspace that day and I was on the brink already from the stress of everything. It all weighed me down and I ended up snapping at the one person who would always be there for me. She knew she messed up these years, so I had confidence in her that she wouldn't abandon me again. One thing she didn't do was make the same mistake twice. I should have just talked to her like a normal human being, but I was all over the place and I didn't know what the source of my bad mood was. I was embarrassed and didn't want Liv to see me like that. I was hoping with time that everything would all blow over and I'd have my best friend again.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I wasn't hearing Henry's story he'd been telling me.

"Honey? Hello? Are you even listening to me?" Henry asked, annoyed.

"Huh? Oh... I must've zoned out. What were you saying?" I asked as I looked up to see Henry in the kitchen rolling his eyes.

"That our CEO got caught cheating! Remember him? The guy who used to hit on you all the time when you were in New York with me? His wife ended up walking in on him in their bedroom with his secretary! Can you believe that? Some people... Why do people cheat? Cheating is disgusting and never ok. I couldn't even look the guy in the eyes when he walked past me." Henry scoffed.

I looked up at him and raised an eyebrow.

Henry sure did seem animated about this.

I thought him and Oliver were close...
