-BOOK 4/4 IN SERIES- So This Is It (YouTube FanFic)

[Chapter 13] You Did It Again

-Andrew's POV-

I buttoned up my shirt and looked at the girl lying on the bed only in her bra and underwear, resting her head in the palm of her one hand and running her finger on the other hand along the crinkled bed sheets. "I'm so glad you moved back, Andrew," She remarked, "I really missed you."

I heaved a sigh, "Yeah...I missed you too," I said without meaning it, "Hey, uh, don't tell anyone this happened, alright?"

"Why?"

"Because if Rachael's finds out about this, she's going to hate me forever and move back to California with all of those...those YouTubers."

She sat up and crossed her legs, "What's so bad about that? Isn't she a YouTuber herself?"

"Emily, it's hard to explain. But I can't lose Rachael for a second time, okay?" I remarked as I grabbed my jeans from the ground and slipped into them.

"If you don't want to lose her, then why are you here, Andrew?" Emily asked me, "Why would you cheat on her? Not that I really care about her..."

"I'm not cheating on her, I'm just...getting what I need," I picked up my tie from where it was thrown and wrapped it around my neck.

"Mhmm, sure."

"Goodbye, Emily," I said, walking out of the room and down the stairs out to my car. I hopped in and looked in the mirror. My hair was messed up and there was a lipstick stain on the collar of my shirt. "Shit," I murmured under my breath as I tried to rub it away, but it just made it worse. "Ugh!" I exclaimed as I gave up and went to fixing my hair.

Once I looked somewhat acceptable, I pressed down on the gas pedal and made my way towards the house I shared with Rachael. I pulled into the driveway and saw two other cars. I raised my eyebrow in confusion and got out, walking up to the door. As I was getting my key out, the door swung open to reveal Rachael with two of her friends, Sara and Kenya. Rachael and I went to school with the two of them years ago.

"Oh hey Andrew!" Kenya greeted with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" Sara inquired.

"He's my boyfriend, remember?" Rachael answered her. Sara looked back at her and laughed. Rachael rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest.

"It's about time y'all started dating," Kenya commented, looking over at me, "And Andrew? You hurt her and I will kill you."

I laughed awkwardly and scratched behind my head, "She's joking..."

"No," She snapped at me and threw her index finger in my direction, "I will you find you and kill you for real if you dare hurt Rachael."

"Okay! Okay!" I put my hands up in innocence.

Kenya and Sara both laughed in unison and walked past me.

"Bye guys!" Rachael called out to them as she closed the door.

"You didn't tell me you were having friends over today," I remarked as I turned around and kissed her on the cheek.

She shrugged her shoulders, "It was a last minute thing." That's when her relatively happy expression turned confused.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

She took my collar in her hands and looked at it, "Is this lipstick?"

"No...it's...uh..." I stepped away from her, "It's..."

"Lipstick!" She exclaimed, "Andrew, where'd that come from?"

"You, obviously..." I tried to convince her, nervously tugging at my collar as the room started to get warmer, "Gees, it's pretty hot in here..."

Rachael's jaw dropped, "You bastard!" She shouted as she brushed past me, "You did it again! You fucking did it again!"

"I didn't do anything!" I retorted, turning around to face her. She shook her head and rushed upstairs. "Rachael! Please! I didn't do anything!"

"Go tell that to the whore you slept with!" She screamed from whatever room she escaped to. I closed my eyes and smacked my forehead.

-Anthony's POV-

I was in the living room, lying on my side on the couch while Lucy watched one of her stupid kid shows on Nick Jr. She was singing along with Dora and Boots as I stared at the TV in disgust. Just then, my cell phone started going off. I groaned as I pulled my phone out of my pocket and answered it, putting it up to my ear, "Hello?" I greeted.

"Hey, Anthony, uh...do you think we can go out to lunch or something?" Ian's familiar voice resonated through the phone speakers.

I sat up and laughed, "What makes you think I want to go to lunch with you?" Lucy looked back at me briefly before returning the attention to her show.

"Please, man, I just...I really need someone to talk to right now."

"Why don't you talk to your wife?"

"Because...because she left me," He answered. My eyes widened and my posture straightened, "Can you please just meet me up for lunch or something?"

"S-sure," I replied, "Where do you want to go?"

*****

Ian and I decided just to meet up at a McDonalds. We sat a booth together, each of us on one booth and Lucy at the head of the table in her little high chair. I handed her a few of my fries before turning to Ian, "So she left you?" I broke the silence that resided between us.

He nodded his head yes and picked up his hamburger, "Okay, she hears that Kalel's pregnant with my kid, right? I tell her I don't know what she's talking about. Then she tells me to leave and come back when I remember. So I left and stayed with Rachael and Andrew, but they were leaving. So I went back home. She  told me she was going to leave to talk Toby and hoped while she was gone I would remember. Well I didn't until a few nights ago, I was sitting in the office and I fell asleep, having a memory of what happened that night. So I woke her up and told her I remembered. Then she got all upset with me and told me she was done. She packed her things and walked right out."

"Ian..." I frowned, "I'm so sorry, man."

He shrugged his shoulders, "That's not even the worst of it. Before she walked out she told me she wants a divorce."
