I waited an hour after Tony left, and I texted Paisley.

*IS TONY WITH YOU?*

Her reply was immediate.

*NO. I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HIM.*

I knew it.

*HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO SEE YOU AND JACK.*

*NOT THAT I KNOW OF.* She answered.

I was pissed. What reason did Tony have to lie to me? Was it just a coincidence that he left right after Lily?

No. He wouldn't do that to me, not while I'm carrying his daughter. Would he?

I laid on the bed for about 45 minutes, waiting for Tony to walk through the door, but he never did. So, I called him.

"Hello?"

"Hey, where are you?" I said, calmly.

"I just left Paisleys, I'm going to stop and get something to eat."

"You weren't at Paisleys."

"Yes I was."

"I talked to her, she said she hasn't seen you, or heard from you."

"Uh..." He was quiet.

"Yeah, uuhhh, where are you?"

"I'll be there soon," Then, the line disconnected.

My phone buzzed. I had a message from my brother, Kayleb.

*WHERES TONY?*

J: *NO CLUE.*

K: *I HAVE AN IDEA.*

J: *WHAT?*

The next message he sent was a picture. A picture of Tony sitting in a booth at a restaurant with a blonde girl. I zoomed up on the picture.

Lily.

*THANKS*

That fucking dick. Anger shot through me like fire. I decided I wasn't going to stay here with him.

Hes cheating on me with that bitch?

I packed a small duffel bag full of clothes, and I left. How could he do this to me? I'm carrying his child! I knew something was going on with them two. Tears threatened to fall, but I wiped them away as I started my car, and left.

I drove straight to my moms house. When I knocked, she opened the door.

"Hey, honey. What's up?"

"I need a place to stay for a few days."

"What?" She pulled me inside. "What's wrong?"

I sighed. "I think he's cheating on me."

"That son of a bitch." She spat. "I'll kill him."

"Calm down, crazy." I said. "I'm going to take over your couch for a few days."

"That's fine." She smiled. "Are you hungry?"

I was starving. I hadn't ate anything since yesterday. My stomach growled loudly at the though of food. But, the fact being that I was struggling to control my breathing. Also, a waterfall of tears threatened to spill over everytime Tony popped into my head which was every 5 seconds. I couldnt keep down anything. My daughter tossed and turned, making me nauseous.

This was my fault. I'm the one that got fat and pregnant. Tony just didn't find me attractive anymore. I should have never had sex with him, or even come up with the idea. I was the dumb one here. Obviously, considering I'm the one being played like a fool. I'm the one who trusted someone too much. Two people, to be exact. I meam for fucks sake, I thought Lily was my friend. She proved me wrong, I'm suppose. I trusted her, just like i trusted Tony. What a mistake that turned out to be.

"Julliette?" She must have noticed my prolonged silence.

"No, I'm not hungry." I mumbled. I laid down on the couch, and my phone began to ring.

"Hello?" I snapped, seeing it was Tony.

"Babe, where are you?"

"Babe?" I said. "Me and you are done."

"Woah, what?" He said.

"Done. It's over. I can't believe you would do this to me." I began crying.

"Julliette, is this about me lying about going to see Paisley?"

"That, and you know what else Tony. You broke my heart."

"Julliette, I don't know what else you're talking about."

"Liar!" I yelled.

"Julliette, please don't do this." His voice cracked. "Please. I'm sorry, I lied okay?"

"And cheated!" I screamed,

"What?" He whispered.

"Yeah, I know you cheated. Don't try to deny it, Tony." I was silently sobbing.

"Julliette, I would nev-"

"I said don't!" I hung up on him, and began sobbing out loud. I felt my heart shatter, I could practically see it laying on the floor, broken like like glass. All night long, I cried, and sobbed, and fought the urge to call him, and beg him to be with me. But I wasn't giving up that easy.

****

TONYS POV:

I couldn't believe it. Julliette actually broke up with me.

Because I cheated? I most definitely did not. I loved Julliette, she was my world, my everything, her and my- our- daughter. How could she think I'd hurt her like that.

I sat on the couch, staring off into space. My phone fell out of my hand and onto floor, but I made no move to retrieve it. I felt like... the world around me had just burst into flame and burned to the ground. My hear literally hurt. Like there was a hole in my chest that could never be filled in.

Vic walked in.

"What's up, man?" He sat down next to me.

"Julliette..." I whispered.

"What about her?"

"She bro-" I couldn't finish those words. I refused to let them escape from my lips.

"I'm going for a walk." I said, getting off the couch.

"Want me to come with you?"

"Whatever." I mumbled. We walked out the door, locking behind us. Once outside, I began walking in a random direction. Vic silently followed, understanding that whatever was bothering me, didn't need to be revealed at that very moment. He knew that right now, I need a friend to be nearby. No talking necessary. I walked slowly, dragging my feet, and hanging my head. She had done it. Julliette broke me. What have I done? I hurt her.

You broke my heart.

Her voice played over and over in my head, like a broken record. The world around me was a blur. Splotches of lights, and people passed me by, but I didn't acknowledge any of it. I just kept walk, not paying any attention where I was going.

"Tony, man, we've been walking for like, an hour. What's going on?"

I stopped walking. Looking around, everything I saw made me think of Julliette somehow. I fell to the ground, not having the strength to hold it in anymore. I hugged my chest to my knees, letting out loud violent sobs.

"She left me!" I cried. "She broke with me."
