Falling in love with a friend is a gamble. Sometimes it can lead to the best relationship of your life and sometimes it can destroy everything. Esme finds this out first hand when two of her best friends begin to fight over her affection. What she d...
I was sat on the couch, scanning through Netflix as I tried to occupy myself for a few hours. I had plenty of time to think about what i'd do to Seth when my suspension was finally over. I also thought about Esme. I worried about her and hoped that Seth would prove me wrong and actually treat her the way she deserved, although I highly doubted it. Dean was right. I had to let her find out what Seth was like for herself but it was hard to sit back and let it happen. As the sky grew dark outside there was a knock on my front door.
"Can I come in?"
It was Esme and she'd been crying.
"Of course" I helped her inside with her suitcase and when I shut the door and turned around she broke down
"What's wrong?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around her
"You were right" She sniffed as her face pressed against my chest "I should have listened to you"
The son of a bitch "What did he do?"
"He's been cheating on me" Esme answered
Oh I'm really going to enjoy getting my revenge on Seth "Come and sit down" I said as I led her over to the couch "Do you want a drink or something?"
"No thanks I'm fine'' She said with a weak smile
I sat down beside her and she scooted closer to me, rested her head against my arm.
"He kept disappearing every night and never told me where he was going and when I complained he'd give me his credit card and tell me to buy myself something nice" she explained as i lifted my arm up to rest it around her waist "like it would somehow make for everything. All I wanted was to spend some time with him, like couples are suppose too but obviously that was asking too much of him" I kissed the top of her head as she continued "When he eventually came back he'd be really affectionate with me but this time he smelt like perfume. Once I even saw lipstick on his cheek. He always denied it but I knew he was cheating"
"What made you leave?" I was curious what caused her to finally kick his ass to the curb
"I took his phone and saw texts with another woman" Esme answered "It was physical evidence and just confirmed what I already knew"
"Well you're welcome to stay here" I offered "I've got nowhere to be until my suspension ends"
"I'm sorry about that" Esme uttered as she lifted her head up to look at me "I practically begged Seth not to get The Authority involved but he wouldn't listen"
"I don't blame you baby girl" I assured "I know what Seth can be like when he's got an idea in his head"
"Dean hates me. He's refused to speak to me since you got suspended, he actually goes out of his way to avoid me" she said sadly
"I'll have a word with him when I get back" I promised
After a few more minutes Esme fell asleep so I took my phone out of my pocket and texted Dean
