Ari~Have fun.

I put my phone down and closed the tab on my computer, I locked the computer and put my phone in my bag.

I got up from my chair and hung my bag over my shoulder. I looked up to see Ashton stood in front of me.

"Hey Adeline."He said with a smile on his face. "Where are you going?"

"Hey Ash."I said as I tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. "I'm going out for lunch."

"Where?"

"Italian cafe down there road. I'll be back as soon as I can be."

He nodded. "Have fun!"

I smiled then walked out of the office and took the lift down to the lobby and walked out of the building.

I didn't know what to do with myself these days, that night I can't get it out of my head one of the best nights I ever had however I cheated on the guy who im enagned with and I hurt a guy.

A innocent guy who didn't know anything about Lee and was such a nice guy.

I made my way to the Italian cafe and walked in, Zara already sat at the table choosing what to get from the menu.

I pulled the chair and sat down then pushed the chair in with my feet.

Zara looked up from the menu. "Hey Ade."

"Hey Zara."I said as I picked up the menu in front of me. I opened it I should just get the chicken pasta.

River came and sat next to me. "Hey girls."

"Hey."I responded looking down at the menu.

"What are you guys getting then?"River asked as she opened the menu in front of her.

"I'm getting the lasagne."Zara replied "what about you?"

"I'm getting the chicken pasta."

"I'll get the meatballs and spaghetti then."

The waiter came and took our orders then left.

"So what's up?"I asked as I took a sip of my water.

"Elena's brother is staying with me and Elena for a few weeks."Zara replied with a sigh.

"He's actually alright you know I get along with him."River said as she munched on the breadstick." And he's really good looking."

"He's okay you know."

"I know that I grew up with the guy."

"Then what's the problem?"River asked as she dipped the other breadstick in the butter provided.

"I got this really good feeling about Zabdiel and Elena."Zara answered. "I feel like if he comes then it's gone in the wind."

"It's already gone in the wind."

"Ade is right. It isn't going to work out."River said with a sigh. "You know how she is like."

"I understand that but she shouldn't give up on love because of one experience."Zara sighed. "She hasn't been herself in a while eversince we started college."

"I don't feel like we should talk about her like this."I confessed as I looked at them. "We need to tell her this."

"We aren't talking bad about her and we are worried for her."River said.

"I tried telling her but she isn't listening to me at all."

"So what do you suggested we do?"I asked as I took another sip of my water.

"Maybe have a campfire on the roof on the weekend or something?"Zara replied."Just for her to be alone with h but us there to kept an eye out."

"Didn't Richard invite you guys to this place thing on the weekend?"River asked as she bit her lip. "Because he called me and asked me I said yeah."

"Yeah he did. Maybe I could ask if we can do a rain check on it?"Zara replied "Do this instead?"

"I didn't get any call or anything."

"Well don't worry about it."River said.

Zara looked at River. "Is Tom leaving today?"

River nodded. "Yeah and he's first going to drop me off at yours I told him not to."River shrugged. "But you know how he is."

"Where is Tom going?"I asked as the waiter placed the pasta in front of me.

I picked up the fork ready to eat. "A work trip."River replied with a short reply.

"Oh."

Zara looked at me. "How's things with Lee?"

"Things are fine."

"Didn't you tell him about what happened?"River asked looking at me weirdly.

"No. Not yet."

"He'll understand."Zara assured me.

I nodded. "And Chris found out about him too."

"How?"They both asked at the same time.

"Lee came and then Elena came into the apartment with Zabdiel and Chris."I explained as I looked down at my pasta."Then Chris asked who Lee was and then he knew."

"Oh Ade..."Zara said with sincere in her voice.

"Oh."River said without any emotion.

"I feel bad for it."I confessed. "I hurt Chris he's such a lovely guy and I hurt Lee in such a bad way."

"Yeah you did."River mumbled underneath her breath.

Zara let out a scoff towards river and looked at me. "You need to tell him."

"I'm planning too."

"Do it soon before things get out of your control."

"I will."
