*Joey's Pov*

Preston?

Preston was looking down at his feet as I opened the door. I couldn't process who I was seeing, face to face.

What the fuck was he doing here? Is he asking Daniel back? He better not... I'll stab him if I have too...

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked in a really rude attitude. Preston looked up with his puppy dog eyes, then back down at his feet. "Are you gonna speak? I don't need you wasting anymore of my time." I said spitting the words in his face.

He deserves it after all he's done.

"Is Daniel here?" He asked quietly, no eye contact. As I looked at him in disgust, I looked down to his arms and notice he had a tall, but thin, red bag.

Wine bag...

"That's none of your concern!" I said harshly, crossing my arms. Preston slowly looked up with one, single tear slowly falling down his cheek. Which was unusual considering that I've never ever seen him cry. "Please Joey. Trust me I'm not, and I mean not, asking him back. I just..." Preston was explaining before looking back down, sniffling and wiping his tears that started falling rapidly. "Just what Preston?" I asked, spitting my words in his face. He looked back up and straight into my eyes. "I wanted to apologize. To both you and Daniel." Preston explained. "What the fuck are you talking about?" I asked in complete confusion. "I wanted to apologize for everything. I was such a bitch to you after I broke up with Daniel and..." Preston was saying before I interrupted him. "Wait... You...broke up with Daniel? You're fucking crazy if you think that!" I said, chuckling in sarcasm. Preston looked at me in confusion, few tears slowly fall down his cheeks. "Joey, there's some things I need to explain. Can I please come in? Please.." Preston asked quietly. I looked at him in anger, but in sorrow. It was sincere that he came here to apologized, but he's told so many lies to both me and Daniel. "Fine. But not for long..."'I said, opening the door for him to enter. "Thank you Joey. Thank you." Preston said as he entered the house. I shut the door and led him to the living room. "You guys have a beautiful home!" He said looking around and sitting on the couch. "Thank you." I said, sitting down across from Preston. There was a few seconds of silence. And I didn't like it. Not at all. "So... Talk!" I said breaking the silence. "Okay, let me start with the whole break up situation. What happened was that after a year of dating, I found out he was going out with you. I was heart broken, torn. So I told him I was done with his bullshit. He begged me back, but I denied him. I was gonna talk to you, but then I heard that you guys got in a huge discussion, like 2-3 years ago, so I just thought it was pointless. So the other day, Daniel texted me... Saying that we should hang out and stuff again. I knew at this point you guys were dating, so I said no. But he kept calling and refusing my answer. So I decided to come here and apologize and tell him to stay away." Preston explained with full eye contact.

I couldn't process of what I just heard. I thought me and Daniel were alright, but I guess cheating is his specialty...

"Wait... How do I know you're not lying?" I asked, trying to think of a way that this wasn't true. Preston put his hand in his pocket and pulled out his phone. He put in his password and gave me his phone. "Go check the messages, calls, voicemails..." He said, looking down in shame. I slowly took his phone and opened the message app. I clicked on his contact name and I knew right then and there Preston was telling me the truth...
