Twisted lies

Chapter 4: The plan

I was going to set him up. I was going to try everything I could to catch him out and make him feel the most guilt he'd ever felt in his life.

So the next day I invited my 5 friends over and told them everything that had been going on for the past year.
"Y/n why the hell didn't you tell us! We want to be here to support you!" Laura shouted
"Yeah y/n why didn't you tell us! How did you cope this whole year keeping it all in? We're your best friends, we're meant to tell each other everything, help each other get through anything and everything." Mandy exclaimed.
I realised what they were saying was true. Why didn't I tell them they were my best friends. Keeping this whole thing to myself did make everything feel worse. I'd felt alone for the past year I'd felt trapped like I had no one to talk to like I was worthless. I suddenly started bursting out crying. I'd been pretending like it didn't effect me that much, like I was fine because I wanted to be with because I loved him, but in reality I was completely and utterly heartbroken. I was breaking each day he'd come home late, every time he'd get a text. I didn't know who I was anymore and it scared me. I was terrified of myself and what I'd become.

My friends all started hugging me.
"Y/n we all love you so much, we're so sorry you've had to go through this alone but we promise you from now on we will be by your side ready to show up his ugly ass." Emma exclaimed.
"Yeah!!" They all cheered.
Still sobbing I replied "I love all of you so much I honestly don't know what I'd do without you thank you so much."
We all squeezed each other tight. I was so relieved I had them, I felt so much better knowing I wasn't going through this alone, and planning what I knew was about to happen was going to be a lot easier and fun.

"So what's the plan then. How are we going to catch him out?" Claire asked.
Ideas had been constantly going round in my head of what I wanted to do to finally expose him for what he'd been doing but nothing was for definite yet.
"Well Jason doesn't get back from work usually on weekdays till about 11pm" I explained "but on weekends he won't get back till around 2 or 3am."
"Ok so he finishes work at 5 right? What if we get to his work a bit before he finishes and then follow him when he gets out?" Olivia suggested.
It was a great plan. We could follow him and see where he was going and get the information we needed to catch him out.
"Olivia you're a genius. It will take a bit of time but it's worth it." I replied excitedly
"Yeah we'd probably have to follow him after work everyday for about a week or two to make sure we knew exactly where and what he was going and doing but you know what anything for you y/n!" Emma said excitedly squeezing my hand.
"Ok well ladies I think it's safe to say our plan is a go!" We all cheered. I was so happy this was happening but in some ways I was upset.

Rethinking over our entire relationship reliving it all in my memories was painful. We had been together for six years. We had so many amazing moments we'd shared together and it was really hard to let go of but I knew it was time to let go. I knew this needed to end not only because it was the right thing to do but I needed to be free. I needed to be free from this toxic place I was in in my life. I wanted to live a happy life with my friends with no pain and sadness and even though I knew it was going to take a long time to get over him I knew it was what I needed to do.

"Ok ladies it's 1pm. We have 3 and half hours till our plan is undergo. So are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"SHOPPING!!" We all shouted at the same time.
We couldn't risk Jason seeing who we were so we needed proper disguises to make sure he didn't suspect anything. So we got in the car and drove to Westfield's shopping centre and went on a hunt for our outfits. When we finally arrived it was getting even more exciting. The time was getting closer and I was buzzing.
"Ok let's go girls!" We all cheered.

It had gotten to 3:30pm. We had spent 2 and half hours choosing the perfect outfits for our plan. We decided we all deserved a treat for our hard work so we all sat and got a well deserved McDonald's.
"So we have exactly 1 hour till it goes down y/n how are you feeling?" Laura asked me.
"You know what I'm excited. I've been wanting to do this for the past year it was always just at the back of my head so I feel like this is a stepping stone for me like I can breathe a bit more now." I explained
"And you know what y/n we couldn't be more proud of you." Olivia replied
"Yeah we understand how hard this must all be for you letting go of someone who you've been with for so long and we're so proud of you that you've finally come to your senses about it!" Claire said proudly.
And you know what I was proud of myself. I was proud that I was finally doing something about it, it was the beginning of a new chapter in my life and I was actually looking forward to starting it.

After abit of chatting we decided we should go. And then finally it was time to start the plan...

A/N: I know you all probably hate me for keep ending on all of these cliffhangers but I can't help myself. I know the names of the best friends might be a bit confusing so I'll list all 5 of their names here. They're called Laura, Mandy, Emma, Claire and Olivia. So I hope your enjoying the story!! Please leave me suggestions on my page! Thank you for reading!
