Megan

It's been a week since I've caught pardi cheating and I've just been completely shut off since. He tried to apologize multiple times and I got so fed up that I blocked him on everything. I have been laying in bed all day just staring at the ceiling, wondering where I went wrong at. Why wasn't I good enough? Why couldn't I fix our relationship? What did she have that I didn't?

A gentle knock on my door pulls me out of my thoughts. I turn my head to see my mom poking her head in. "Megan, someone's here to see you." She says softy. I sigh and kick my legs irritated. "I'm not in the mood mom." I really don't feel like talking to anyone right now.

But before she can even respond, glo walks in looking at me with a concerned expression. My mom nods at her, then leaves us alone, closing the door behind her. The attitude I once had immediately vanished upon glo's presence.

I take in her appearance and she looks so good, i mean she always does but today she looks mouth watering good. Maybe me being single has resurfaced old feelings. She sits on the edge of my bed, studying me for a moment before speaking. "You've been ghosting all of us for a week. I've been so worried about you."

I bite my lip, trying to hold back a weeks worth of tears. "I just...needed some time." She nods but I can see the worry in her eyes. "Time for what megan? what happened?" No one knows he cheated except for jaela. I told her not to tell anyone else because I was honestly embarrassed. I thought about making up some lie to make it seem like we just weren't working out.

I sit up, wrapping the blanket around me like it's the only thing holding me together. Hearing her use my full name instead of meg means she's taking this serious, and it was a little unnerving. I look down and play with my fingers. No matter how much I want to, I can't lie to her. "He cheated, glo."

Her expression shifts from concern to shock then to anger, "Pardi? cheated on you ??? is he fucking stupid?! how do you know??"

I take a deep breath, feeling the tears well up again. "I saw a text on his phone. Some girl saying she missed him. That was it for me. I couldn't stay any longer. I tried so hard to make it work."

glo's jaw clenches, and I can see the anger boiling beneath her calm exterior. "You don't deserve that!! You deserve way better than him! I don't care what he does or says to try and fix the situation, you did the right thing by leaving. You are worthy and you deserve respect, especially from your significant other."

Her words hit me hard, and for the first time in a week, I let the tears fall. She pulls me into a tight hug, and I instantly feel better. Like there was a weight lifted off me. I hadn't realized how much I needed this—how much I needed her.

I pull back slightly, wiping my eyes. She looks at me sympathetic with a small smile. We just sat there in silence looking at each other, making eye contact. Suddenly the tone shifted, and there was a subtle tension between us. I subconsciously glanced down at her lips. They looked so soft and plump.

I found myself leaning in closer to her, and she seemed to do the same. Right as our lips were about to touch we heard a knock at the door causing us to pull away. "come in." I state irritated that we were cock blocked. My mom shyly opens the door. "sorry to interrupt but I made dinner, your favorite megan. glo you are welcomed to stay of course."

I nod and put on a fake smile. "thanks mom we will be down in a minute." I tried my best to hide the frustration in my tone. She smiles and quietly closes the door again. The tension in the room is even worse now as glo and I sit there in silence unsure of what to say. I mean everything just happened so fast out of nowhere. Has she been waiting for me and pardi to split? I thought she didn't like girls though. Yet the way she was looking at me said otherwise.
