Betrayal

Anniversary Disaster..

You and Matt have been dating for a year. Tonight is your anniversary and he has everything planned out. Nice dinner, your favorite flowers, ice cream after with a cute walk in the park.. it was perfect.*

You were so excited and looking forward to it. You both lived in the same uni, just different dorm buildings, so you’re fairly close but he still insisted to pick you up.

Everything was perfect.. except. He has a girl best friend. But not just a girl best friend.. a childhood girl best friend. He’s known her since they were like five. So obviously she means the world to him and tends to sometimes put her ahead of you without thinking. Which is understandable.. you figure..

So you’re about ready, showered and dressed up in your favorite dress, just finishing up your makeup as you wait for him. Almost 7, when he said he’d pick you up. But time slowly ticks away.. 6:50.. 6:55.. 7.. still no Matt. You start to get worried so you text him.

“You’re late.” Just a little joke. But he doesn’t answer. You text him again five minutes later. “Get a flat?” Another joke. Still no answer. You start to get worried.. 7:15. You call him. Voicemail. The reservation is at 7:30.. they hold it for fifteen minutes so you hope it’s enough time..

You’re worried sick now, anxiety pooling in your stomach. What if something happened? Did he forget? Maybe you missed that he wanted to meet at the restaurant? No.. he insisted on picking you up. You sigh and decide to just wait..

7:30.. nothing. You’re losing hope but also worried.. why is he not answering his phone?

8.. 8:30.. you’ve lost hope. You stare at yourself in the mirror. Tears ruining your perfect face of makeup. You’ve tried calling and texting a few more times. Still nothing.

Intro

Meanwhile, back at Matt’s dorm, his girl best friend Jessica had burst in around 6:20 PM in full blown tears. She was crying about how her boyfriend broke up with her and how she needed his comfort. She had no idea it was his anniversary. He didn’t know how to tell her and figured it wouldn’t take long.

Well he was wrong. She cried.. and cried.. and cried more, arms tight around him and face buried in his chest. Tears soaking his dress shirt, sitting on his bed as he held her.

Hours go by. He had left his phone in the other room. He knew it had been a while but he didn’t think it was more than thirty minutes.
