Torn Between The Carter Brothers

Addison

| felt even more shitty right now as | stumbled awry from the corner Marco had pulledinto, tears blurring my

eyesight which I quickly wiped away before anyone could see them.

Marco didn’t stopwhen | left, which meant he’s really going ahead with his wedding. | didn’t outrightly ask

him to put an end to it cause | felt like he already got the hint from everything | said. My mind was still reeking

hard and | was still unable to wrap my head around the fact that he’s also still in love with me. That had felt like

a dream at first, but turns out that’s my new reality. Since when did he fall in love with me? Or, was he in love

withthis whole time? Or, perhaps it was really all that Zane did in the past few days that made Marco realize

that he still cared about me?

| let out a shaky exhale as | went into a bathroom and locked myself in there, my mind still reeking hard. | felt

happy, that at least, Marco had revealed that he lovedand wanted me. But | felt sad that it wasn’t enough

for him to call his wedding off for me. If he really loved me, he'd have out an end to the wedding instantly. |

hated that he revealed that he lovedwhen | was already trying to think of how to move on. Now that | am

aware of his he truly feels, how would I be able to move

on?

| haven't the slightest idea.

In the mirror, my eyes looked glassy as hell, cause | was on the verge of tears again, but like | had decided within

myself this morning, | wasn’t gonna break down today no matter what might happen.

| just wished Zane was here right now. Perhaps if | tell him all of this, he’d have the perfect words to say toat

this point. Most of the time, Zane always knew what to say. His presence was always comforting and reassuring,

and once again, | was filled with sadness cause | hated that he wasn’t here right now, that he left without

informingfirst.

How dare he? Fucking bastard.

The fact that Marco still thinks that | was still together with Zane and kept askingto end things with him,

means he probably didn’t know Zane already left. A bitter laugh left my throat and 1 silently wondered why | was

feeling so hurt that Zane bailed out onwithout any warning?

He didn’t oweanything, not even loyalty. We weren't friends, so | definitely wasn’t supposed to be feeling

sick to my stomach. So, what was the issue?

Feeling like | was getting closed in by these walls, | exited the bathroom, and ran right into Aisha.

She was already in her wedding dress and she looked so damn stunning and breathing, and when our eyes met,

she grinned cheekily as she stepped closer to me.

“Oh, my. It's Addison!” She announced and all her friends who was putting their shoes and

assessiries on all turned to stare at me, and | forced myself to stiffle a sigh.

“What do you want?” | snapped, too annoyed to control my emotions better right now. Like | practiced with my

best friend, even if | hated Aisha, on her wedding day, | was supposed to wish her congratulations and all in

order to fully kill off any gossip that I might be in love with her men, but | was too pissed to consider that right

now,

Shs let out an airy laugh. “Your voice sounds hoarse, have you been crying?” She breathed out and her friend let

out tinkering laughs almost at the send time, making the scowl on my face to deepen.

| wanted to claw her eyes out right now, to tear her dress till nothing is left but shreds. | wanted to do all of that

and more right now, but | forced myself agsinst doing that cause it would be childish and ridiculous of me.

Besides, now that | know that it doesn’t seem like Marco is in love with her, that madefeel a ittle bit better,

but not enough to makefeel happy.

She was about to say something else when | stepped closer to her and spoke against her ear.

Careful now, huh? | saw you being fucked by one of Marco's friends two days ago. Is Marco aware hat you're

cheating on him?” | whispered in a low voice and at once, she went rigid. When | pulled way, her face had

whitened like she had seen a ghost, a terror settled in her eyes when they met with mine again.

She attempted to grab my arm but | wrench it away as | stepped back even more. “Don’t touch me.”

warned and | noticed as her hands began to shake again.

“You didn’t see anything, you're lying.” She finally gritted out, after blazing in her eyes as she hurled hose words

at me.”

| laughed, feeling pleased that right now that for once, she seemed shaken to the core.

Then why are you scared?” | asked and she rolled her eyes, stressfully schooling her features into a blank mask.

I'm not, stupid. Now, stop saying nonsense.” She yelled but I only rolled my eyes while her friends all tensed up

and began to regardwearily.

“Wait till | go tell Marco,” | tell her, but | don’t intend to tell Marco anything anymore. It wouldn't change

anything from the looks of it, cause he has to be in love with her to care about her cheating, but it seems like he

wasn't.

Her eyes widened even more and she stepped forward to grip my arms tightly. “You wrench, if you do that, I'll

ruin your wretched life!”

She screeched out but again, | shook her hands off and turned away to exit the room. | stopped halfway and

turned to face her. “Lest | forget, congratulations on your wedding, Aisha.”
