Torn Between The Carter Brothers

Addison

The bed was empty when I woke up the next morning.

As I got out of the bed and remembered that today was Marco’s and Aisha’s wedding day. I felt a deep wave of sadness settle over me. I felt stupid to have cried so much in Zane’s arms last night, but he held me throughout, his fingers running through my hair, his mouth whispering quiet, comforting words into my ears till I fell asleep.

I wondered where he went to?

As I showered in the bathroom, I wondered how I was gonna survive today. How was I gonna successfully pretend like I was happy for Marco without breaking down? In the back of my mind, I was happy that at least I had Zane to be with me throughout today, I’d be able to draw strength from him, plus, it’s a good thing that it seems like we’ve grown closer in just a few days. I wondered if we could still stay in contact after we leave this place, but I doubt if that was gonna be a good idea seeing as we had fucked once, so that didn’t seem ideal. Besides, our circle are clearly completely different from each other.

My heart ached in my chest and I sighed as I dried myself off, deciding that I wouldn’t be feeling this heartbroken if I hadn’t been hoping that Marco would end the damn wedding and come be with me. If I had listened to my best friend and worked on getting over Marco and accepting the reality, then by now I probably wouldn’t be feeling this hurt, like I might burst into tears at the sight of Aisha in her wedding dress.

I assured myself that I wouldn’t do that though. In fact, I refuse to break down today no matter what, because it wouldn’t change anything so what was the point?

Zane still wasn’t here when I got out of the bathroom, and I felt a little embarrassed on remembering that I asked that we fuck yesterday but he refused. Now that I wasn’t clouded with hurt, I was glad that he hadn’t agreed to my request. Fucking him was just gonna make forgetting him harder, so I was glad he didn’t do that last night.

When I went to the closet to get dressed, I was shocked at the sight of one part of the closet being completely empty. All of Zane stuff was… gone.

My eyes widened while my heart fell into my stomach.

He left already?

My mind reeled as I tried to wrapped my head around this situation.

He was supposed to act like my fake boyfriend till the end of the wedding! So, why would he leave

now?
