Julie's POV

Unforgivable.

❝Juliette slept with Sawyer because she knew you were cheating on her with whatever or whoever.❞

Aiden sucks in a breath on hearing what Alex said. I turn slowly to him, stiffened significantly, and stared at Alex with a somewhat hateful and shocked expression. Julian decided to plop himself back in the plushie chair and stare at the drama unfolding in amusement.

Confirmed.

A small laugh escaped my lips ❝You were right.❞ Shaking my head as I finally let everything sink in, more laughs spilled out as I made my way back to the bed and laid back again the headboard, ❝My gosh you were right Sawyer.❞ I raised my hands to my face slowly and shook my head slowly, holding back all emotion that started to bubble up in my chest, scratching it's way up my throat causing me to let out a strangled cry.

❝How long? How long was it Aiden?❞ I choke out, pushing myself to my feet, thankful I had covered myself up.

❝It's been going on for a whil-❞ A loud sarcastic laugh escapes my lips as I draw closer to him and snap.

❝How freaking long is a while?❞ I seethe clutching tightly onto the hem of his jersey, which swallowed my small figured, making me feel even more vulnerable. I clenched my teeth and glared at him. ❝Huh? Give me an estimate.❞ 

❝You should ask the person you're sleeping with. I'm petty sure the bastard knew we were sleeping together.❞  He said, looking over at Sawyer, who stood in the doorframe shrugging.

I grab onto the perfume bottle on my vanity desk and fling it at Aiden in anger. ❝Why do you think I'm so mad huh! I had to find out from him! I haven't spoken to him in years Aiden!❞ I all but screamed at Aiden while throwing my hand out, gesturing at Sawyer.

❝You're mad? You're cheating on me with the town's whore!❞

My eyes widen and I glanced at Sawyer who raised a brow at Aiden, not even giving Aiden a once-over while he turned his attention back to me. I tsk, throwing my index finger in his face as I stepped closer cautiously. ❝Don't turn this on him. You and I are talking. I'm mad because I had to find out how unhappy you were in our relationship from the 'town whore.'❞ Once I stood toe-toe to Aiden, I glared up at him angrily, glancing over his shoulder to Sawyer. ❝No offense.❞

That's when all shit went downhill. I met Sawyer's angry gaze with my own and a quirked eyebrow. All the emotions from his eyes dropped and he gave me that same stupid blank stare Aiden did. ❝This asshole set the whole thing up and you're just sleeping with him and not listening to me.❞ Aiden, once again, defensively deflects.

❝You've had plenty of time to talk, and you did none of it with me.❞ I scoffed lightly,❝so why start now.❞, and pushed myself towards the door, pushing past Aiden who tried to grip my arm in the process, ❝No.❞ Aiden and Sawyer step to the door defensively, while I yank my arm out of his grip, shaking my head as I head to the living.

Aiden started talking again and I continued to the door but paused, glaring over my shoulder. ❝Look, I can admit I made a mistake but don't act like you're any better! You slept with him too. And instead of trying to fi-❞  My eyes widen significantly, and I stop in my tracks. Grabbing the nearest item, spin on my heels, and fling it in his direction, to which he ducks. 

❝What the hell Juliette?❞ 

❝Fix? Why the hell would I have to fix something that you were responsible for breaking?❞ I glared up at him once again, this time, there were no tears threatening to spill. ❝You ruined everything the minute you started speaking to her. There is no longer anything to fix. You broke everything. You broke my heart countless times and you're acting as if I had a part to play in your little adventure to figure out if you loved me or not. For three years Aiden, we've been together. Three. freaking. years.  I wasted with you. How much of those three years were you even faithful?❞ I spit out the last part, raising my hands to give him a shove, only for him to grip them both in his large hands. ❝I was wrong, I know b-❞

❝You keep saying that you were wrong, but it doesn't change the fact that you cheated on me, countless times Aiden. You never changed.❞ I whimpered out the last part, choking back a sob as I tugged away from him. 

❝Jules.❞ He whispers out in the most calming tone, but my only response is me shaking my head and stepping away from him. Giving my arms one last tug, I'm out of his grasp and I turn on my heels, I turn to the door to see Sawyer there. It's only then I remembered that Aiden and I weren't alone. Sawyer and Alex were still here, Julian, rounds the corner of the kitchen and stands to watch everything.

Sawyer still stood there looking down at me, chewing on that lip, the bottom lip I was just biting a mere couple minutes ago. I looked up at him, ❝Not right now.❞ I pleaded, only for him to stay put, glancing down at me with a look I couldn't decipher. I narrowed my gaze determined not to say anything,  however that went out the window when he stepped forward. ❝Move out of my way Sawyer.❞ I gritted through my teeth, as my labored breathing caused my chest to rise and fall. Averting my eyes back to space between him and the doorway. ❝Please.❞

On realizing he wasn't planning on moving out of the way, I sigh heavily and slip through the space quickly without touching any of them. Once I reached the living room, I rounded the coffee table and slid everything, which happened to belong to both Sawyer and Aiden off of it. A hand reached out to touch my shoulder but I smacked it away, glaring darkly at them.

My voice broke as I spoke out, ❝please do not touch me.❞
