Rachael: March 15, 2014
Hanna didn't look me or Josh in the eye. I stormed out of the room and went into Josh's guest room to give them some time alone. I remember she mentioned something about Tom having a girlfriend named Emily when she told me about him the first time. I wondered what Emily tweeted to Josh. I grabbed my phone from my bag and opened up Twitter and clicked on Josh's name to see.
@jhutch1992: tell that skank hoe you date I'll make her left eye match her right if she goes near Tom again
"Oh shit!" I said out loud, covering my mouth with my hand. This Emily girl was not one to be messed with. I hoped Hanna knew what she was getting herself into. I really didn't want to deal with the bullshit. Josh was a big boy and he could handle this issue himself. I decided not to butt in this time. I set my phone down and pulled out my PJs and bathroom stuff.
I was about to open the door when my phone rang. Do I really want to answer this? I thought when I saw Sam's name on the caller ID. Ugh fine! After the third ring, I picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, its Sam."
"Yeah I know, what do you want?"
"How's California.....and Josh?"
"Fine and fine. Is there something I can help you with?"
"No, I just wanted to let you know I got the rest of my stuff out and I left my key on the counter in the kitchen."
"Ok, thanks," I said, folding some of the clothes in my suitcase. "Is that all?"
"This whole thing kind of sucks, you know?" He sighed.
"Well, you're the one who called the wedding off, Sam. I know it sucks."
"I'm really sorry, Rach. I just-I wasn't ready."
"I know," my voice cracked as I felt a lump in my throat, "look, I have to go."
"Ok, maybe I'll...." He started to say something but I hung up. I threw my phone back in the bed and slowly opened the door. I walked quickly to the bathroom so I wouldn't overhear Josh and Hanna talking, but it didn't matter how fast I walked, I still heard it.
"Every time she's around, you act so different, like you don't care about me. What am I supposed to do, Josh? I can't keep hiding under her shadow."
Josh: March 15, 2014
"Come on Josh, you hold Rachael up on this pedestal all the time. I had no other choice but to start talking to someone else."
"You could have talked to me about this. Me, you know, your boyfriend? Rachael has nothing to do with this. You should have talked to me instead of going behind my back." My voice started to rise.
Hanna spilled everything about how she was talking to this guy Tom for a while. She said they were just 'talking', and when she heard that Rach was in town, she called him to hang out. It turns out that when she went to his house, his girlfriend, Emily, was there and she found out that they had been 'talking' and hit her in the face.
"I'm really sorry, Josh. Can you forgive me? I love you baby," she pouted.
"I just don't know what we're supposed to do now, Hanna. I mean how can I forget the fact that you've been lying to me? Huh?" I stood up, flailing my arms in the air.
"I don't know," she murmured, on the verge of tears.
"I can't take this being lied to anymore. I need some time alone ok?"
