Andys POV~

I hated myself, and I could tell everyone in the room hated me right now.

'I can't believe you did it' Ellie shook her head

'Andy I've known you for so long, why all of a sudden now would you ruin things?' Jess asked, her voice was quiet

'I'm sorry, she was flirting and started kissing me. I tried to push her away but things got carried away, I know that's not an excuse and I hated myself as soon as I kissed her back' I replied. Jack sighed but before he could speak Lily and Sam came into the room

'Dad what's going on? It's freezing outside why can't we come in' Lily asked shivering

'Lily please just stay out there, I'll explain as soon as I can' I asked, she didn't say anything, I guess she could see I was upset. No one spoke, they all just kept looking at me. After about 5 minutes I went upstairs, I know I deserved it but everyone judging me was making everything so much worse.

I heard a car pull up and I looked outside to see Rye, Brook and Gabby walking in the house, I stayed at the top of the stairs to save everyone having to listen to us argue.

'Right were gonna get off, I'll talk to you later hunny' Jess hugged Gabby, followed by Ali, Ellie and Hannah, all the kids ran in after, Rye took Maisie back to his for a sleepover and Lily went to back to Jacks.

Brook and Hannah were still in the living room.

'For what it's worth, I know he hates himself because of it, just please let him explain himself' he smiled and hugged her before leaving the house 'bye Gabster' I heard him laugh and then the door shut

I walked down the stairs and saw her sat on the sofa, her head in his hands

'Gab..' I said sitting on the other side of the sofa

'I have one question, why now, when everything is good again, why now?' She looked at me, my heart broke at seeing her this upset

'I don't know, I don't even know what came over me, I love you and only you, you have to believe me when I say I made a mistake, I admit that it shouldn't have happened..' I tried to hold her hand but she pulled it away

'I can't be near you right now. I'm going to bed, you can stay down here' she went to stand up but I stopped her

'Please Gabby, we've been through so much together and always pulled through, I know we can get through this. It's not like you've never made a mistake' I sighed trying to get her to talk to me

'Oh so it's my fault this happened. Don't bring up the past, that's over now'

'I forgave you for what happened with Brook. Why can't you even think about forgiving me?' I asked

'It's different now! We have a family Andy, we have two daughters to think about' she raised her voice

'Yeah a family that could have been half Brooks' I replied angrily, I knew I shouldn't have

'Right so what this is you getting even yeah? You thought 'oh Gabby cheated 16 years ago, it's my turn now' she rolled her eyes and stood up. I quickly got up and held her hand

'No I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry, but I forgave you for sleeping with my best mate, I only kissed her, please try and think about forgiving me' I said. She didn't reply just looked at me

'You only kissed her?' She was breathing heavily, I nodded

'Yeah. I'll be honest, we were both in our underwear and it could have gone further but I stopped it and we went to sleep, and then I left as soon as I woke up' I explained honestly, Gabby pulled her hands away from mine

'Andy just give me time, I can't think about this right now' she turned around and started to walk upstairs

'Okay. Goodnight, I love you' I said, she turned and looked at me and then carried on upstairs.

A few minutes later she threw down a pillow and a quilt, the lights turned off and the bedroom door shut. I sighed and lay on the sofa, hoping I hadn't ruined everything with the women I loved.
