Astrid’s P.O.V.
*One week later*
Duke was gone again as usual and I was alone. I was sitting on the couch watching a movie when my phone went off. I grabbed it and saw that it was my dad and he says, “I need you to come now.” I tell him that I’m on my way and with that, I get my shoes on and I grab my keys and head out. When I arrived dad tells me to follow him into the kitchen so I do and when we arrived; a guy was sitting at the table. I began to get worried when the guy says, “My name is Greg, a private investigator and I was hired by your father to follow Duke.” I froze then, I become worried that this guy Greg has found something and he says, “Please Astrid sit down.”
I sit and he says, “Now what I have to show you may upset you, do you still want to see the photos?” I tell him that I do and then he pulls out an envelope and he hands it to me. I begin to look through the pictures and I saw Duke meeting a girl so I say, “Who is the girl?” Greg doesn’t say anything so I look up and he says, “Her name is Lily.” I look back down at the photos and I saw Duke and Lily kissing. I put my hand up to my mouth and I begin to cry. Greg places a hand on my hand and he says, “You don’t have to continue if you don’t want too.”
I wipe my tears away and I say, “I want to continue looking at them.” I finished the photos an hour later and Greg says, “Do you want to keep the photos or should I take them and destroy them?” I told him that I wanted take them. When I arrived home I saw Duke’s car and I knew then that I was going to confront him and make him tell me what the hell is going on. I walked inside the house and I see Duke sitting on the couch so I say, “Can I talk to you?” Duke looks at me and he says, “Sure, what’s wrong?” We head into the kitchen and when we sit down I pull out the pictures and I say, “Tell me what your doing with this girl.”
Duke takes the pictures from my hands and he says after he flips through a few of the photos, “Where did you get these?” I glare at him and say, “Answer me.” Duke sighs and says, “I’m sorry.” I grab the photos from him and throw them in his face and I say, “I’m leaving.” I head into the bedroom and I begin to pack my things. After all my things are packed I take all of it into my car and before I leave I go back inside and say to Duke, “Have fun with your new girlfriend.” Before Duke can say anything I head into my car and drive off. I arrived home and I run inside and dad says, “What’s wrong?” I told him that I’m done with Duke for good.
