Us Aganist Ourselves

Chapter 2

(AN The girl on the last chapter was Selene)

5 and a half years ago....

There was so much I wish could have changed about those 24 hours... I really wish I could, I want to go back. But I can't....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't miss the look that passed between Liam and Grey but I had to ignore it, as much as it pained me. Before I was completely out of the driveway I heard Grey whisper to Liam that they needed to talk.

Curiousity was burning in my gut and I immediately drove to the local park and whipped out my phone where I proceeded to access a micro chip I have in Grey's phone in case of an emergency. The chip allows me to hear the surrounding area and trace where the phone is.

I place the phone to my ear and listen, there is some shuffling and then there it's quiet until I hear Grey take in a shakey breath.

"I don't know what to do Liam, Will is all I have besides you and Sel, I love him so much but he's been acting so weird lately. He's up late and always on the phone or texting someone. He's not telling me something and there's times when he comes home, or like today he smells like some sort of perfume but when i ask he says its nothing. Lee, what if he's cheating on me." I hear the anger and sadness in her voice. "And Sel is just as bad, she's just distanced herself from me and I don't even think she realizes I see the looks her and Will have been giving each other. It's like they've got a secret that no one knows."

I hear Liam sigh and I'm hoping that he'll defend me, he knows me, they both know me, how could she really believe I let WIll cheat on her much less with me.

"Please Liam," I say softly, tears in my eyes.

"Blue?" Will says and I look up at him and shake my head, going back to listening. I hear Liam take in a deep breath.

'Please, Lee, baby, you know me better than anyone else.... please believe in me, in us.' I think, i can feel my heart breaking at the prospect of him not believing in the relationship we've have for three years.

"There has to be a reason that they're acting this way." I hear the defense but even to me it sounds weak. "There has to be something, Sel... but she's been acting so distant, almost cold. I know she's hiding something from me and it's killing me to know that she doesn't trust me enough to tell me. She's always doing these random errands that she can't tell me about and she's always whispering on the phone." I can not only hear but feel the hurt that he's giving off and suddenly, I can't listen anymore.

I turn off the chip and throw my phone into the back and get out the car, slamming the door in the process.

"God dammit!" I shout, a tears burning my eyes.

"Selene, what the hell is wrong with you?" Liam shouts at me, I look at him and I'm damn near murderous.

"You, You are my fucking problem. Listen to me and listen to me very fucking well. You have 24 hours to propose to Grey, if you don't I am coming clean to Liam. They both think we are cheating do you understand what that means? They think we are having sex with other people all because I can't tell my fucking fiancee that your dumbass is going to propose to Grey! 24 hours and I swear to god I'm telling him AND Grey what this past month has been about. The only reason I've hid it for this long is because I am a woman of my word and I gave you my word to keep this whole fucking ordeal a secret. Do you understand?" I growl, getting in his face.

He is pale he's practically on top of my car trying to back away from me.

"Yeah, I get it." He stutters.
