Jenna's POV

We had seen three houses and I was bored out of my brains.All of the houses that we had seen were really nice but it felt weird to look at homes.I knew that we weren't permanently going to be living in New York but I still didn't want to leave behind our home in Sydney.I had grew up there,I didn't know how hard it would be to leave it,even if it was only for two years.We were driving down a street that looked familiar,it was the street that Tay lived on.The car stopped in front of the house across from Tay's and I became a lot more excited about moving.My parents and I left the car and went to go look around the house.I could already tell that this house was my favourite.

************

We were looking in the house for about half an hour,it was a really lovely house.It had two bedrooms but parents needed an office so either the attic or basement would be converted into my bedroom,I wanted the basement as attics are kinda terrifying.While my parents were talking to the real estate agent,I decided to go and see Tay.I crossed the road to her house and went to knock the door but I hesitated as I couldn't hear any voices inside.I decided that I would look in through the window.I climbed over the small hedges that were around the pathway to Tay's house,nearly tripping in the process,and I approached the window and looked inside.

I could see Tay and Alexa sitting on the couch talking and Tay was rubbing her back,I wondered what they were talking about.Then I saw Tay hug her.

'They must be having a deep talk'  I thought to myself.

But then I saw Tay stop talking and Alexa look up at Tay.Then,Alexa kissed Tay and Tay kissed back.My heart shattered into a thousand pieces and tears that felt like tidal waves built up in my eyes.I moved away from the window and ran back to the car.I got inside and curled up into a ball on the seat,I'd never felt so betrayed or heartbroken.I thought that she loved me,she obviously didn't love me that much.

I could hear the front door of Tay's house open and close so I looked up to see who had left,it was Alexa.I'd never thought that she would do that to Lynn or to me.She had only known me for a week but she seemed so much nicer.I ducked my head down as she looked at the car and continued to ball my eyes out.

My parents came back to the car so I just pretended to be asleep as I didn't want to tell them what I'd just seen.

Tay 🌙: Hey

Tay 🌙: How was house hunting?

I looked down at my phone and felt a mixture of sadness and anger inside of me.I was sad because the person that I fell in love with just cheated on me and I was pissed because she hasn't even confessed it to me.I didn't reply to the messages and continued to cry under my blanket.My parents had gotten called into a last minute meeting so I was alone in the hotel room.I didn't know what to do.I felt my phone buzz again but it wasn't a message from Tay,it was one from Lynn.

Lane Goon 👻: Hey so I was wondering if you and Tay wanted to do something with me and Alexa tomorrow? Me and her haven't been too great since bowling so I figured that if we all do something then maybe we'll get better.

'Fuck,she doesn't know' I thought.

Jen 🌹: I don't think that's a good idea

After I replied I put my phone on silent as I didn't want to be the on to tell her that her girlfriend had cheated on her with her best friend.Alexa should've told her just like Tay should've told me.Honestly,that's the part that hurt the most.The fact that she didn't tell me hurt like a bitch.It made me rethink everything; does she really love me?Has that been going on the whole time? I needed to talk to her before my thoughts ate me alive.
