No more Ryan and Emily

Emily sat on her car , her heart fluttering with anticipation. She had just finished a long day at work and was looking forward to spending time with Ryan.

As she scrolled through her phone while waiting for Ryan to come back from the Gas Station's Toilet. His phone screen lit up with an incoming call.

She scrunched her nose. Weird. Who's Janitor K?

"Hello?" She said , her voice cheerful.

There was a moment of silence , and then a familiar voice broke through. "Ryan? Is he there?"

Emily's heart sank. It was Katherine Walters.

"Um , this is Emily." She said , confusion washing over her.

"Oh , I didn't know you were there," Katherine replied , her tone suddenly flustered。 "Is Ryan around?"

Emily's mind raced. Why was Katherine calling him? She could see Ryan getting closer to her car and her hand were trembling while holding Ryan's Phone.

Ryan's face confirms Emily's confusion when he saw the phone. She could hear Ryan in the background , his voice low as he urged her to hang up.

"Emily , can you please just-" He started , but she felt the ground shift beneath her.

"Why are you calling him?" Emily demanded , her heart pounding.

Katherine hesitated , and in that brief moment , everything became clear. "I just wanted to talk about our plans."

"Plans?" Emily echoed , anger rising. "What plans?"

Before Katherine could respond , Ryan finally took the phone from her. "Emily , please. It's not what you think."

"It's exactly what I think!" She shouted , feeling betrayed and lost. "You've been lying to me , Ryan!"

He looked at her , desperation in his eyes. "Just let me explain. It was a mistake!"

"Was it a mistake when you chose to pick up her calls?" Emily felt tears prickling her eyes , each word cutting deeper.

"Em , I never meant to hurt you," Ryan said , his voice strained. "Kath and I-"

"Stop. Just stop." Emily's voice trembled , and she could barely breathe. "I can't believe you."

"Fuck , Emily.." He cursed under his breath.

The air felt cold as she starts to drive away from the Gas Station , the world around her blurring into a haze of hurt and confusion.

Wait , Does Trisha knew about this? Katherine and Trish were friends. I should go to her house now.

Emily drove to Trisha's house , her heart pounding with a mix of anger and betrayal. She needed answers. As she reached Trisha's front porch , she knocked on the door , her frustration boiling over.

"Trisha , Open up..Please!" She called , her voice echoing in the quiet neighborhood.

Inside , Trisha hesitated , fear gripping her. Katherine just called her and told her about what happened. She peeked through the window , her heart racing at the sight of Emily's stance. "Just go home , Emily. I have nothing to say." She called out , trying to keep her voice steady.

"Open the door Trisha. I need to talk to you , Did you know about this? " Emily questioned while brushing her tears away.

"Just go home Emily. I'm sorry , Okay!" Trisha shouted back.

Desperate , Trisha turned to her older brother , Henry , who now have a concern look on the couch. "Henry , Can you go out and tell Emily to leave?"

"Why don't you just talk to her?" Henry raised an eyebrow , sensing the tension.
