I stood on the elevator going up to my boyfriend William's apartment. I was really excited because it was his birthday and I was going to do everything in my power to make it amazing. I looked down at thecake in my hands check for the fifth time to make sure there weren't any mistakes on it.
It was still perfect. I checked my phone for any messages from my best friend Jessica who I had sent to stall him about half an hour ago. The elevator doors opened and I began my walk down the hall to his apartment.
I quietly opened the door and crept into the livingroom so I could surprise him.
What I saw broke my heart and I dropped the perfect cake that I held in my hands.
William was sitting on the couch and jessica straddled his lap. Her lips were pressed against his forcefully and his hands rested on her hips. It didn't seem like they were planning on stopping anytime soon. Until they heard me.
"Shit," William cursed under his breath.
As the infidelity of my best friend and my boyfriend sunk in, I could feel tears stining my eyes. I turned and ran out of there as quickly as I possibly could which wasn't very fast considering I was wearing heels and my vision was blurred by my tears.
"Get off of me," I heard William yell to Jessica. Before his grabbed my arm I could hear his heavy footsteps trying to catch up with me. "Wait. Alyzza, let me explain," he begged.
"You don't need to, I saw quite enough," I argued.
"I swear she came onto me," he said.
"Well you sure as hell didn't stop her. How could you?" I asked between sobs.
"I'm sorry baby, it won't happen again." he pleaded.
"Damn right it won't happen again. I'm breaking up with you," I said.
"But--"
"Save your but for Jessica," I said finally mustering up enough strength to pull free of him. I took off my shoes and ran all the way to the elevator. William had stopped trying to run after me.
I stepped out of the elevator and into the lobby. From the lobby I ran outside into cold air that was harsh on my wet cheeks.
I forced myself to recompose myself and wipe away tthe tears. I dug through my phone and called the one person I knew I could count on at a time like this.
"Hello?" Liam said answering the phone.
"Are you busy?" I asked.
"No, are you crying?" he questioned. Concern was clear in his tone.
"Can I come over? I asked ignoring his question.
"Yeah, I'll leave the door opened for you," he said.
"Okay thank you," I said gving him my gratitude.
"No problem," he said. I was thankful he didn't as anymore questions.
"Alright, I'll be there in less than ten minutes," I said slamming the door to my car shut.
"Okay,"
"Bye," I said hanging up the phine. I sped to Liam's house becaus eI wanted to get there before the tears came back. I was just relieved that I didn't get pulled over.
I got out of mt car still not wearing any shoes.
I opened the door and called for Liam.
"Liam?"
"I'm coming," he said rushing down the stairs. "Are you okay?" he asked examining my puffy eyes and swollen, red cheeks.
"No," I sighed shaking my head.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"He cheated on me. With Jessica," I said. My tears began forcing their way back up.
"Oh my god, that's terrible," Liam said opening his arms for me.
"I know, she was my best friend," I said accepting his offer. Liam's arms wrapped around me and I almost forgot about everything that had happened in the last thirty minutes.
"I know this probably doesn't help the way you feel but I think you're amazing and beautiful and I love you," he said.
Before I had a chance to respond Liam gently pressed his lips to mine. Every part of me went numb except my stomach which was on fire.
"I love you too," I said.
"Are you sure you're over him?" he questioned.
I nodded. "He broke me and you took the time to pick up the pieces. I don't want anything to do with that asshole. I love you Liam," I said.
"I'm so happy you feel the same way. I've been waiting for this day for nine months. I've never liked William. he definitely wasn't good enough for you," Liam said.
"Maybe it's what I deserve," I said.
"Alyzza look at me. You don't deserve any of that. You're a great person and I love you," Liam said.
"Thank you Liam but you know how I feel about myself," I said.
"You shouldn't though. You're perfect," he said.
{I hope you like it love. I love you and I can't wait to see you next week!!}
