Riley's POV

We had gotten back from Winnipeg about a few weeks ago. Things had be going good lately, Erik and I are doing good, Mia and Patrick have been fine as well, Mia's already starting to plan her wedding. As for Jonathan and I well we're slowly reconnecting our friendship. In a matter of fact we just finished up lunch, Jonathan had on insisted on taking me out in away of making it up to me. So far it's working.

"Let me go pay and then we can head out." Jonathan says getting up

I nod and start getting my coat on.

I look over and see Jon's phone vibrating, I wasn't going to answer it but figured looking to see who it was couldn't hurt right?

I grab his phone and see there's a text from Lindsey, why would she text him if they're done? As curious as I am, I slide open the the text.

It reads

Hey I'm with Erik cover for me (;

I couldn't believe what I was reading, this has to be a mistake. I can feel the angrier and betrayal building up inside of me, so I leave the phone and storm out of the restaurant. I don't get very far other then the parking lot until I hear "Riley." "Let me explain."

"What's there to explain?" I snap turning around

"Look I was going to tell you but-"

"But what? Huh?" I cut him off
"Did you not think telling me my boyfriend was cheating on me was not important?"

"Riley it's not like that."

"Like hell it's not." I scream at him
"Your unbelievable Jonathan."

With that I walk away. I quickly jump onto my car and drive off before he can even follow me, I call Mia on the way and tell her we need to talk. Before I know it I'm already at her door.

Mia opens up the door before I can even knock it. Her hair is tied back in a messy bun while her crop top shows her three month belly and hip bones.

"Oh lord what did he do?" She knew we were going for lunch today.

I don't say a thing and push her heading towards her couch.

Mia heads to her kitchen and grabs two mugs. I push myself up off the couch and head to the island.

I slouch down in the chair and put my feet on the other chair.

"I know what you need." Mia says putting a kettle on the stove.

"Tea?" I scoff.

"When someone's upset you offer them a hot beverage." Mia chuckles heading to her beloved cupboard.

Tea, coffee, and booze is kept in that wonderful cupboard. I only need one thing... booze.

"I'm not upset." I state.

"No your mad." She comes back with a container.

"What's in that." I've only seen that container on three occasions.

Anger

Trouble Sleeping

Or stressed out

"This is Chamomile tea." She sets it down and starts to pour tea.
