"She hasn't come home."
It's been two weeks now. I have a long pending conversation I need to have with him. But only after his wife has come back home. I'm not a horrible person.
The girl was supposed to have been back a week ago already, now I'm running out of time because Luke is getting fed up. He's getting fed up that our dinner dates and lunches are being cut short every time because of Tristan's constant meltdowns.
He'd been really upset with me when I cancelled our dinner plans last week after I'd gotten a call from Tristan. I'd texted him that evening saying,
'Hey, something urgent just came up. I'm sorry but I have to cancel.' That was about ten minutes after I'd texted,

"Are you ready?"I'm not. But it's too late to turn back now. This has to happen! It's been way long overdue."Yea." I say with a sigh then he opens the car door and I mimic him.I feel my heart beating a mile a minute as we make our way towards the foyer of the familiar house I'd hated with a passion. I'd practiced for days what I was going to say but my mind seems to be void of words right now.The walk to the door feels like an eternity but we soon get there and he insists on ringing the door bell. I let him, just like I let him hold my hand to calm me down as we wait for someone to open.He's done the whole hand holding thing with me so many times that I ex

Jonny Marina was Tristan's best friend before I came and took over.He was the second most popular boy in school and the co-captain of the soccer team, alongside Tristan. They'd been inseparable, until he started hanging out with me.So it should hardly come as a surprise that he didn't like me. Tristan stopped meeting up with them like they'd used to before to instead hang out with me. And well, it didn't sit right with him. Understandably.They still remained friends though. They didn't hang out a lot anymore but I knew Tristan still really cared about him as they'd known each other since they were kids.It took him a while but eventually he'd warmed up to me. I wouldn't say we became friends, we just stopped hati

I'm not perfect. But one other thing I'm not is selfish.I can talk about how I need to focus on my own wellbeing and happiness, which I do - very much so. Especially after everything that I've been through.But I know for a fact that I will not feel good about myself knowing that at his lowest moment in his life, Tristan needed me and I turned my back on him. I will not sleep better at night knowing he's suffering and I'm not there to help him. Call me a dumb idiot but that's just what it is.Luke told me I needed to figure out what I wanted, which is true. He also said that he's not going to wait around for that to happen, which is fair.My heart is broken, because I really do love him. I genuinely do feel that I'

"I think this is it."I am unable to keep in my excitement.I don't think this is it, I know it is."This is my house." I say again as I walk around the empty space of what will be my lounge. I can already picture how I'm going to decorate it."This is your house!" He repeats to me and I look back at him with a smile.It's like all the things that I've been through have prepared me for this moment right here. I always thought I was the most unlucky person in existence but looking at my life now, it all makes sense. The struggles.After moving out of Luke's house, I moved to a hotel for a bit. I didn't want

He got himself a secretary.He says it's because I'm not around in the office when he needs me and so he got someone to help him out. Of course I'd rolled my eyes at that. He doesn't need help, he needs to stop being lazy. He's good at what he does, but he doesn't like admin at all. He prefers to deal with certain things and leave the others for us to deal with.He's also got tons of other employees who are able to help him out when I'm not around, so I know he was just being petty by saying that.I like Emily though, she is good at her job. She doesn't have much experience in the accounting industry but she covers the administrative side of things almost to perfection.One other thing that's hard to miss about her

I haven't spoken to him in over two days. I know he's worried because he keeps blowing up my phone.I don't know what to say to him, how will I face him?"How long have you been in love with him?" Jonny had asked me randomly as I nibbled on a blueberry muffin. We were at Tristan's sister's birthday party and Tristan was inside a bouncy castle playing with the smaller kids. He looked so cute, yet so giant inside with all those kids and I couldn't help but laugh and admire at the same time. He always loved kids. He wants to have at least three in his life.Jonny's question caught me off guard, not just because it was random but because it shook my world for a second before I begged my heart to calm down.

"When's the official conference?""Next weekend.""Oh damn it. Can't I come?""No.""Pretty please.""Mia, you know you can't come.""That sucks."It really does. All the hard work I've put in on the McKenna account and I can't even be at the first meeting."You could come if you beg for your job back." He says annoying me.I won't even be introduced as the person behind the final written report. To them I don't exist.

TRISTAN'S POV"You're here alone today...""Yeah. I needed this session. I think you know why.""Tell me how you're feeling today Tristan." Dr Moyo says to me patiently. I know she's been suspecting for a while, even before I knew. I appreciate the fact that she doesn't ask me to put it in words.We were in one of our sessions when Meghan dramatically accused me of having feelings for Mia. I'd of course denied it because it was a lie. At least that was what I thought at the time."I'm feeling... conflicted. I'm coming to you not only because you're my therapist, but b
