„Olivia, please, stay."

That's the only thing he had to say to me after I caught him with his English literature professor.

„Liv, I'm so sorry. I can't even explain, what had happened. I.. I love you. Please, I beg you to stay."
He didn't know, what had happened? Is he kidding?
„Oh, so you are telling me you just accidentally slipped into her pants? Are you freaking kidding, Conor?"
I can feel tears running down my cheek, but I continue to put my stuff into my bag.
He didn't even move since I saw him with this Mrs.-Humphrey-but-you-can-call-me-Violet bitch.
„I will pick up my other things in a few days.", I say while a walk through the door and just hope he didn't hear the hurt in my voice.

I am not even two steps out of the door and the first people begin to stare. Great.
I can cross the „be a completely train wreck in public" from my bucket list now.
I search for my phone, but the tears in my eyes are blocking the view and a sob slips out.
My god, Liv, keep it together.

After a while I finally found my phone, unlocked it and now I'm just starring at it, wondering who i should call.
Mum ? God no, she loves Conor and couldn't live with us being separated.
And Sarah is out of town and I really don't wanna ruin her and Andrew's holiday.
So there's only one person left I could call.
Jack.
He's the sweetest guy alive and predicted Conor's and my breakup even before we started dating. Sounds bad, but he just wanted the best for me.

„Hello. Liv, are you ok?", he sounds tired.
Take a deep breath and act cool, I said to myself.
„Hey, J. Everything is fine. I just wondered, if I could stay the night at yours?"
I really tried to sound like nothing happened, but Jack is the best in knowing-how-you-really-feel-by-analysing-your-voice type of thing and most of the times I hate this thing about him, but now I feel like that's exactly what I need.

„Liv, where are you? I'll pick you up in 10'."

                   ....

We didn't speak the whole car journey and when we arrived at his flat he broke the silence.

„ What did he do?"
