  "I'LL BE RIGHT BACK." TOM informs me, pecking me on the forehead with a light kiss.
  A smile spreads across my face and I want to run to him and kiss him. But, he's going to the bathroom so I blow him a kiss instead. He smiles and "catches" the kiss.
  I turn my attention back to Detective Pikachu on the television screen as Tessa walks over and rests her head on my lap. I smile at the adorable dog and gently stroke her head.
  After about two minutes, Nikki rises from the couch to check the kitchen if there's food for tonight's dinner. "Oh, bloody hell." I hear her curse under her breath.
  I rise from the couch and make my way towards the kitchen. "What's wrong, Nikki?"
  Nikki pinches the bridge of her nose and shakes her head. "I don't have any noodles or sauce for the lasagna. How forgetful of me." She laughs at herself as she shuts the pantry.
  "I can run to the store really quick to grab it, if you want." I offer.
  Nikki looks up at me and smiles kindly at me. "Oh, that would be great, Rocky. If you don't mind-"
  "I don't mind at all, Mrs. Holland." I smile. I turn around to face the counter and grab my wallet that is loaded with pounds instead of dollars. "It'll be quick."
  Nikki beams at me once again. "We are very lucky to have a girl like you in our lives. Especially Thomas."
  I smile and laugh nervously. "Would you like me to grab anything else while I'm there?"
  Nikki shakes her head. "No, I'm quite alright. But could you ask the boys if they would like anything?"
  I nod and smile at Nikki as I make my out of the kitchen to the living room. "I'm going to make a quick run to the store. Do you guys want anything?"
  They all shake their heads, but Harry and Paddy rise from the couch. "I need to get somethings. I'll come with you." Harry says.
  "I just want to walk around." Paddy shrugs. I chuckle at the young Holland.
  "Alright. Let me go ask Tom if he wants anything and then I'll be right down, mkay?"
  Harry and Paddy nod as I trot up the stairs and down the hall towards Toms room. "Tom do you-" I begin to ask, but stop due to the terrifying sight before me.
A blonde girl disconnects her lips from Tom smirks at the sight of me crying. "Get out of here. I'm giving him the loving he deserves." She says.
I shake my head as tears drip down my face and I storm off. "Rocky, wait!" Tom calls after me.
He chases after me down the hall and grabs my wrist. "Rocky, it's not what it looks like, I swear! Just let me-"
Before he can finish his sentence, my palm connects with his cheek. A dark red mark already begins to appear on his cheek.
"We're done, Tom. I don't feel like arguing with you right now." I say, crying and running down the stairs.
"Fuck!" I hear him yell.
I continue running and crying until I bump into someone's chest. I look up and my blurry vision confirms it's Harry. "Rocky? Rocky, what's wrong?"
"T-Tom. H-He was ch-ch-cheating on m-me!" I scream through tears. Harry gasps as he pulls me into a hug and lets me cry into his chest.
"I'll be right back." Harry says, letting go of me. He begins to walk off with his hands balled into fists. I don't have the strength to chase after him.
The rest of the Holland's come towards me as a loud smack comes from upstairs. Nikki whispers something to Sam as her and Dom run upstairs.
"Rocky, what happened?" Sam questions, cupping my face and forcing me to look at him.
  "Tom cheated on her." Paddy snaps, hugging me.
  Sam's eyes widen and his jaw drops. "Are you fucking serious?" Sam exclaims.
  I try to wipe my tears and control my breathing before I break into a panic attack. "S-Sam, can y-you drive m-me to a ho-hotel?"
  Sam nods and wraps his arm around my shoulders. "Of course, Rocky." He guides me out of the house, with Paddy on my other side.
  I take a seat in the passenger seat while Paddy sits in the back and of course, Sam drives. I try to slow my breathing, but the tips of my fingers begin to tingle. Shit.
  Sam begins to drive down the street just as I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I read the caller ID:

CALLING

ANSWER | IGNORE

  I need to answer or he won't stop calling until I answer. I do my best stop crying as I swipe the screen. "H-Hello?"
  "Hey, Ro- wait, are you crying?"
  "N-No."
  "Rocky."
  "Y-Yes,"
  "Why are you crying?"
  "T-Tom ch-cheated on m-me!" I cry, rubbing my eyes as the words triggered more tears.
  "Are you fucking serious?"
  I nod, even though knowing he can't see me.
  "Want me to call Robert?"
  "N-No. I-I'll call h-him l-later."
  "Well, where are you going?"
  "Sam's driving m-me t-to a hot-tel to st-stay for to-tonight."
  My breathing begins to slow and I begin to catch my breath. Paddy leans over and squeezes my shoulder reassuringly. I attempt to smile but I probably look hideous. I pat his hand and hold it for a few moments.
  "C-Can you p-pick me u-up from the air-airport t-tomorrow?"
  "Of course, Rocky."
  "Th-Thank you. I-I'll see y-you t-tomorrow."
  I hang up before Chris can reply. A few lonely tears drip down my face. I bury my face in my palms and begin to breakdown once again. My breath speeds up, and I know I should be trying harder to calm down, but I just can't. Tom actually cheated on me. To think I was so stupid to think that he actually had feelings for me. All he wanted was sex so he went to some random girl to get laid.
  "Rocky, calm down." Paddy commands. "Please, breathe."
  "I-I c-can't."
  I feel Paddy digging in the back pocket of my seat before handing me a paper bag. He hands it to me and I use it to cover my mouth. I take deep breaths into the bag as my face and fingers tingle.
  "We're almost there, Rocky." Sam says, rubbing my shoulder with his thumb.

  We finally arrive at a hotel. Paddy got me a room on his phone while I was having a minor panic attack. I've "calmed". Well, I'm breathing again.
  Sam pulls up in front of the hotel and pulls me into a hug. He strokes my back soothingly. "I'm so sorry, Rocky. I never, ever thought Tom would do something like that."
  "I guess everyone has a devil inside of them."
  Sam releases me. "I can grab your bags and bring them to you later tonight, if you like."
  I nod. I look from him to Paddy, and back to Sam. "I don't want this to ruin our friendship. I want to stay friends with you and your family, well..."
  "Except Tom." Paddy finishes.
  I give them both a hug before exiting the vehicle. "Goodbye."
  "Goodbye."
