Mike's POV

I showed up at Frenchi's apartment door in L.A with flowers in my hands waiting for her to answer the door. Hard to believe I'm marrying this beautiful girl in just a few months. Feels like just yesterday I was so scared to ask her out but here we are, two years, later engaged.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket to see it was already 1:30pm so I rang the door bell again and this time she came running to the door because I heard footsteps coming towards it. She opened the door wearing a white pineapple romper and her hair was wet meaning she must've just woken up and showered.

"Hi baby sorry I just got out of the shower" she said hugging me.
"It's okay babe. Here you go my love" I said giving her the flowers.
"Red roses. My favourite Mike. Thank you" she stepped aside and I walked in closing the door behind me and taking my shoes off. I walked into the kitchen and saw she was putting the flowers in a clear vase with some water.
"I was thinking roses for the wedding" I told her.
"I like that. You know what else I like?" She asked coming over to me making my back go against the wall. My hands trailed down to her butt and I squeezed it.
"That?" I asked smirking.
"Yes that but you know what else?"
"What beautiful?" I asked moving a stray hair from her face and putting it behind her ear.
"That in a few months I'll be Mrs Francesca Fuentes" I smiled at her and leaned down kissing her full lips. When our lips parted I took hold of her left hand but felt something different.

"Where's your ring?" I asked looking at her hand.
"Oh I was cleaning the house this morning and I took it off so I wouldn't loose it or anything"
"But you never do" I told her. I dropped my hands from her body and moved her.
"What's going on Frenchi? Since I gave you that ring you've never taken it off" I asked.
"Babe I'm heading to work now" I heard a man say. Soon a built guy wearing a black tank top and denim jeans came out from Frenchi's room and kissed her head.
"Oh hey man" he said to me grabbing his keys.
"I love you baby" he said heading out the door.
"Love you too max" she said before looking back up at me and butting her lip.
"Of course" i walked to the roses and grabbed them before walking to her bedroom and grabbed the ring heading the front door and sliding on my vans.
"Mikey don't do this. Please Mike" she begged as I opened the door.
"Mike!" She yelled grabbing my arm but I shook her small hands off me.
"I should've fucking known. We are done Francesca. Do you understand. Done!" I yelled at her before slamming the door shut and walking down the hall.

"So then I left" I explained to my niece on the drive home.
"So she cheated on you just before your marriage?" She asked completely shocked but I just nodded.
"What the fuck"
"Just because you're with me doesn't mean you can swear" I told her chuckling.
"Why would she do that?" She asked completely ignoring me.
"I don't know. I'm just not good enough for her I guess"
"You'll find someone Mike. She just wasn't the one" she told me. I pulled into the underground parking of my brothers building and sighed.
"Oh well right? What are we gonna do. It's life kid?" I said looking at her for a second. She nodded and I gave her a small smile. I found a parking spot and pulled in before turning off my car and both of us got out.

"We're back" I announced unlocking my brothers door. The place was quite. Not even Rachel was home yet.
"That's odd" I said walking to Vic's room to see it was empty.
"Vic? Rachel?" I called. I walked back to the living room to see Scarlett had set her bag down and grabbed herself an apple to snack on.
"They're not home?" She asked.
"No" just then the door swung open revealing a tired Rachel holding her heels in her hands.
"Sorry about that. My car broke down at work so I had to catch a bus and you know how fucking great the service is on those things. But, I'm home now. Who's hungry?" She asked throwing her purse on the couch and dropping her heels.
"Uh I just dropped her off I was about to talk to Vic but he's not home"
"Oh. Well are you not hungry?" She asked me.
"Uh nah. Nah I'm not. Thanks though" I said hugging her and then hugging Scarlett before rushing out the door. 

I walked down to the parking lot and to my car getting in and just sitting in the drivers seat. I closed my eyes and just sucked everything in. Frenchi is gone. Rachel reminds me of Frenchi. Out of anger I punched my steering wheel making the horn honk.
"Fuck! Fuck why me!" I yelled.
"After everything we've been through. She's gone. She's fucking gone!" I screamed. I heard a knock on my window so I looked at it to surprisingly see my brother there looking both confused and worried so I rolled down my window and looked at him.
"What happened?" He asked. That's when I explained everything.

Scarlett's POV

"What's up Mikey's ass?" Rachel asked coming out from her and Vic's bedroom wearing an oversized shirt-which was probably Vic's because it was thrasher- and yoga shorts.
"Him and Frenchi broke up" I said making her drop the box she had in her hand.
"They what? Who broke up with who?"
"He broke up with her because she was cheating"
"Dear god. That's why he was in such a rush to leave. Did he explain how it happened?" I nodded.
"He went to her apartment in LA and he said she didn't have the engagement ring on so he asked where it was and she lied and then some guy came out of her bedroom and that's when he put the pieces together" she just stared at me in shock.
"Jesus Christ" she said putting a hand on her head and the other on her hip. The room the quote for a few minutes. Probably because everyone really liked Frenchi and didn't think she'd do such a thing.

"I'm back" we heard Vic say.
"Hey babe. In the kitchen" Rachel called. We heard footsteps and soon my dad was in the kitchen with us.
"I was down in the parking lot because Mike-"
"Had a mental break down because of his cheating bitch girlfriend?" Rachel asked cutting him off.
"How'd you know?"
"Scarlett told me"
"Oh. Well then yes. I was just about to come up when I saw Mike in his car throwing a temper tantrum so I walked up to it and then he told me what happened. I asked if he wanted to come up but he said he was gonna go talk to our parents so I let him go" he explained.
"I officially hate her you know" Rachel told my dad.
"I mean how can she do that to him? Just like you he's sensitive but doesn't wanna show it I'm so-" Vic cut off his rambling girlfriend by pulling her into his arms.
"Are you done ranting?" She nodded and he let go.
"Good"
"So, How was school?" He then asked me.
"Pretty good. I met some friends and I think I'm gonna fit in just fine" I said smiling.
"Well that's good. At least something good happened to one of us today"

Anyway, let me know what you thought about this chapter. Bye everyone!
