"Thank you for everything you've done, last night and today. I really appreciate it." Olivia spoke to Heath and Mariah.
"Don't worry about it, just get some rest and I'll text you later." Mariah replied, giving her friend one last hug. And they left. Olivia was dropped off at her house, still in yesterday's clothes. She needed sleep more than anything in this world. She still had a pit in her stomach, a continued sick feeling. She chucked her phone and purse on her couch and headed for her bathroom, there was no sign of Jeff. Anywhere.

After a shower, a change of clothes and food on its way. She collapsed onto her bed and sighed. A piece of paper was on the end of the bed. How didn't I notice that? She picked it up and opened it, seeing a bunch of scribbled words.
'Vi,
I know I fucked up. I admit that and I know I'm probably the last person you want to speak to. I've decided to stay elsewhere, as I fucked up and you don't deserve to leave your own house. I want to apologise. I can't say sorry enough to make up for what I did. What you said last night stuck with me, despite how drunk I was. You trusted me again and I ruined it. I'm so ashamed of myself to have fucked up the chance with you. I want to talk this out, please send me a text or a call to let me know.
I love you,
Jeff.'
Olivia couldn't feel worse, not guilty, but she felt so depressed. She let out a sigh and picked up her phone. It's either now or push it off until you physically can't anymore. So she dialled his number, then quickly stopped. She didn't want to hear his voice, she didn't want to cry anymore. She felt dehydrated from the tears. So she decided on a text.
vi🥺: we can talk, but don't hold your breath. meet me tonight, at the house.
Olivia couldn't stop the tear falling down her face. She wanted to be with Jeff more than anything, but she wasn't stupid. She wasn't going to make that mistake again. She put her hands onto her face, screaming into them.
liv🥺: let's get fucked up tonight and sleep at my place
nat🖤: down
toad🍄: also down
skot🤪: i shouldn't but kris and i are down
liv🥺: i have a thing to do at 5 but i will meet you there!
Natalie felt worried for her best friend. A day after you'd just seen your fiancé cheating on you, again, you should be pretty heartbroken and crying yourself to dehydration. But Olivia seemed fine. Too fine. And because of Natalie's worry, she'd sent her a text.
nat🖤: you okay?
liv🥺: what makes you think otherwise?
nat🖤: just assumed you'd be crying still, you did just catch your fiancé cheating
liv🥺: hence i suggested we get wasted
nat🖤: this one night i will allow you to let loose and party your pain away, then we are dealing with this.
liv🥺: i am not going to the gym with you
nat🖤: what do you have planned at 5?
