The bathroom door swung open and Gielle's hand wrapped around my forearm. She pulled me out into the bedroom where Austin stood with a terrified expression on his face.

"Take your fucking panties" she said throwing them at me. "and all your shit in the living room and get the fuck out of my house."

I pushed her aside and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind me. I knew this was going to happen. I never should have told Austin I loved him. I never should have loved him in the first place.

"Lilly!" Austin's voice boomed through the house as I collected all my bags from the living room. "Lillian wait!"

I kept walking. I kept telling myself to keep moving. Leave him behind. Leave this all behind. I wiped the tears from my eyes as I tried desperately to stop crying. I shouldn't even be the one crying. I didn't just catch my husband cheating on me. I threw all the shopping bags into the trunk of my car and slammed it shut.

"Lil just listen to me for one second before you go!" Austin shouted next to me.

"No Austin. None of this should have happened." I closed my eyes and shook my head.

"You don't believe that Lilly. I know you don't." he whispered.

"Austin we-"

"I know you don't believe that! If you did, your pretty blue eyes wouldn't be swollen from you crying. Lily I've made so many mistakes in my life but the only thing that keeps pushing me through it all is you. I love you so much Lily. I know this isn't perfect Lil but just stay a while baby then you'll see. We can do this. I don't want this life that I have. I want a life with you. One that I can say I'm proud of."

"Austin turn around and look at your bedroom window. Look at your beautiful wife staring at us. She wants you Austin. She deserves you." I didn't dare say love because I wasn't positive that she did love him. "Go make this work."

With those words said, I gotten my car and drove away from the man I loved the most in the world. I drove back to my apartment to face the hell I had waiting for me there from this morning still. I parked my car and made my way to apartment door, leaving everything in my car.

"James!" a voice screamed inside the apartment. A voice that wasn't my own. I shoved the door open and walked into my apartment to see a brunette on top of my boyfriend on the couch.

"Lilly?!" I heard him say as I walked past them.

"No. Continue. I'll be out in a minute." I waved them off. When I got to the bedroom I put all my clothes into three big suitcases and the rest of my things in another. I really didn't have much of my own anyway. I went over to the window and threw each of them out and onto the sidewalk.

"Lillian I can explain." James rushed to my side when I came out of the room again.

"There's no reason to. Goodbye James." I said before I shut the door behind me.

"Ma'am, I understand you need a room. But we simply don't have any available right now." The young girl behind the counter said to me.

"Look. I know for a FACT that not every single room I this hotel is occupied. There's no fucking way!"

"Don't yell at me miss!"

"Lilly?"

"WHAT?" I screamed turned around.

"Sorry I just-uh-are you okay? Do you need a room? They booked me a suit on accident."

"Tony I don't think you understand what that would mean to me."

"C'mon blondie, let's get you a nice bubble bath and some movies to watch." he said as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

"Thank you so much Tony." I said nuzzling into his neck.

"It's not a problem. What's going on with you? Are you okay?" he asked once we were in the elevator.

Are you okay? Are you okay? Ha. No.

"I'm fine." I whispered picking the polish from my nails.

"Don't lie to me Lilly. I'm not dumb." He said as we walked out of the elevator and down the hall to his suite. He opened the door with his key and motioned for me to go inside, shutting the door behind him as I did. "So?" He questioned. I sat on the couch before me and took a deep breath.

"I fell in love with Austin." I said simply.

"Well that's a loaded answer..." Tony leaned back onto the couch and rubbed the back of his neck. "But what...ya know....happened"

"We went out shopping today and when we got home he had all these things for me. We started kissing and we ended up in the bedroom half naked. Then Gielle came home..."

"Lil what were you thinking..."

"I know! I fucking know! I fucked up Tony!" I shouted while I slammed my fists down on the couch beside me. "I know it was wrong! He's married and we never should have even been kissing in the first place. I never should have even started talking to him after that day at the beach. I ruined everything Tony..."

"Hey, this is as much Austins fault as it is yours. Don't beat yourself up over it."

"Tony I fucked up." My sobs shook my body and I fell into Tony's arms. I shouldn't have done any of this.

"Lil are you done for the day?" My boss called out to me.

"Yeah. I just finished my last client."

"Okay well you just got a call for a cut and color tomorrow at ten." Hannah informed me.

"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow" I waved to her over my shoulder as I walked out the front door of the salon.

I made a quick walk a few doors down to the small coffee shop to get myself tea. I went up to the counter and placed my order before sitting in a nice chair by the window. I'd been living in San Francisco for almost a year now with no contact to Austin or James. I zoned out, staring at all the cars that passed on the street as I listened to the barista call out peoples names for their drinks.

Deena

Elizabeth

Heath

Jacoby

Shayley

"Lillian!" The man called out. I placed my bag in the seat I was sitting in and made my way to get my drink. I then went back to my chair, drink in hand. I must have started to zone out again because before I knew it there was a man staring over me.

"Mind if I sit here?" He smiled kindly and motioned to the seat next to me.

"Nope. Go head." I answered quietly.

"I'm Shayley." He held out a hand for me to shake and still had the smile plastered on his pierced lips from when he first spoke.

"Lillian, but you can call me Lilly." I grinned at the cute man and shook his hand.

"Well in that case you can call me Shay." Shayley answered. After that, we were launched into a conversation about absolutely nothing, but absolutely everything at the same time.
