Just One Night (H.S.)

20.

The next day I finally had the courage to call my best firned Eliana. I'm not really sure how she's going to react. She would tell me to my face on how much she adored Phil but from what I heard from others she couldn't stand him. But it doesn't really matter now since he's going to be out of my life. Speaking of that...

I set the last of Phil's items right next to the front door. I huffed looking at all the trash bags with a few of his duffle bags scattered around. I spun around on my heel and walked over towards my cell phone. I dialed her number and listened to the dial tone. I huffed in aggravation that she's not answering. I texted her three times to be expecting a call from me...

I dialed once more and after the third ring she answered. "Hello?" She questioned laughing. I could tell she was with people and so I didn't want to take away her time. "Hey, El, it's me." I said. "Siena, hi. How are things?" "Are you busy right now? Like with people?" "I'm at my weekly brunch with my girls. Why is everything arlight?" "Just call me when you're done?" Ia sked. "Of course, I'll talk to you soon. Ta ta!" I hugn up the phone combing my hands through my hair.

It's not that Los Angeles has changed her, but the people around her. She sounds like she's a fourty year old woman married and with children. Instead of being a twenty two year old making a brand in the business world.

I decided to make food for lunch since I had to wait on speaking with Eliana. I began to make a grilled cheese and was in the process of flipping it to the other side when my phone began to ring. I hurredly flipped my sandwhich and jogged over to ym phine. Not bothering to look at the caller ID I answered.

"Siena Ray, speaking." "Sinena Ray, Speaking." Eliana mimicked. "God are you ever out of work mode?" She asked. And this is the Eliana I know... "For your information I am, it's actually my day off thank you very much." "Sounds amazing, everyday in my life is working." "You're a business woman of course it is." I stated laughing. "A business woman making something out of herself! I'm telling you Siena you need to move out here. I could help you go far in the world." I snorted, "I'm fine-" "Fine being Tom Cliff's bitch, I know. But I can't blame you, if I was his personal assistant I'd probably stay to get to look at that fine piece of ass everyday." "It's not like that, And it never will be." "Oh I know, because precious Phil-" "Speaking of Phil... I'm sorry El, but you're no longer going to be my maid of honor." "And who the fuck said so?" "We're done." I stated.

Eliana stayed quiet for a few moments before she finally spoke up. "Like you're over, split up?" I sighed. "Oh, Siena! I'm so sorry." I began to feel sadness finally setting in. I began to open up to the things I've been feeling with him. How I never wanted to have sex, how I didn't see him as a lover anymore but as a roommate. How he always was spending his money on boose. How our argument happened last night.

"He's been cheating on me for over six months." "That fucking prick! I'll kill him!" Eliana yelled out in anger. I chuckled, "But I'm kind of glad honestly. My life was so plain and boring when I was with him." "Siena..." "Eliana..." "Did you find someone knew?" "I think I might have rekindled something I had with one guy." "Who?" I stayed quiet not sure how I should put this.

"Siena Ray..."

"Do you remember Harry? The boy I met when I was sixteen? Who took my first kiss?" "Shut up." "He's Mr. Cliff's best friend." "Sinena shut the fuck up!" She yelled in shock. "I know! Isn't it exciting!"

"Siena, he's married."

My eyes widened at those words. "W-What?" I choked out. "I- uh... I'm sorry to break it to you but yeah. He's been married for three years." My face lit in horror at those words. "What do you mean he's been married? How ddo you know?" I asked in shock.

"I go to brunch with his wife every week. Katelyn. She's been wondering why he's been out there in New York for so long, but I guess I know why now..." "Don't say anything!" I screamed. "You need to talk to him girl, from what Katelyn tells me they're happily married." I brought my hand over my mouth I bit in trying to suppress my anger and sadness.

"I'm a fucking homewrecker." I stated feeling tears forming. "No, honey. He's a cheater."

Plot twist? I think yes!
