It was already 1:30 am. Tina, my bestfriend was snoring beside me, her head leaning in my shoulder. I chuckled at the way she looks. She looked like a five old kid and I was her mom.

I carefully lay her down in the sofa and turned off the TV. It was nice to spent some time with her again, the mansion was rather...lonely.

Nate would only come home by 3 in the morning and sometimes he never comes home. He was awfully workaholic, he doesn't rest and never did spend a day off. Or I thought so.

A year and a half. That's how long we've been married. Despite his coldness and not so much caring attitude I still loved him as my husband and always have been a good wife.

Until,

I found out he had an affair. It was painful. I've felt so betrayed by him. I was so sad to the point that I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I often had panic attacks and I thank Tina for always being there to comfort me.

Nate didn't know anything about this, I kept it all from him. Even though it was hard for me to know that he will never love me, I was contented that I was his wife. Even if it's only in papers.

Leaving a note at the table, I kissed Tina in the forehead and left. I drove my car heading back home and hoping Nate hadn't come home yet.

The gates opened, I thanked the guard and went straight to the garage. I parked the car and noticed that the lights were out. Nate wasn't home yet and it was a relief for me. I have been ignoring him for the past week and I was not ready to talk to him.

Took the keys out of my pocket and slowly opened the front door. I was about to reach for the switch to turn on the lights in the living room when,

"Where have you been?"

I stiffened when I heard a cold voice coming from the kitchen. The lights were off and a silhouette of a man was visible, leaning against the counter.

What was he doing home? He wouldn't come home 'till 3 am and here he was leaning against the counter.

There was this sudden silence between us, he was waiting for me to answer his question.

"It doesn't concern you where I go nor what I do." I said sternly. Not minding his presence I started to walk up the stairs.

"That doesn't answer my question, Blair. Where have you been? I called you a thousand times but your phone was unreachable. Just where have you been, Blair?!"

He called me? That was a first. I didn't think that his number would show up on my screen once.

"Where I went... You don't need to know."

"I'm your husband, I have the right to know!"

I clenched my fist.

Was he really worried? Why was he getting furious? Did I have that much of an effect on him? Did he realize that he was starting to have feelings for me? I smiled, it was so ridiculous of me to think that. Why would he? We were only married in paper. Nothing serious at all.

I looked at him and smiled.

"You are my husband."

"But, you don't act like one."

I sighed at the picture beside my bed. It was me and Nate on our wedding day. I turned this upside down and stood up.

It was currently 10 in the evening and Nate hadn't come home since yesterday. He was with her and I knew it.

Leaving me all alone in this palace of his. With no one to talk to, nor nothing to do. It was rather lonely.

Because of boredom I quickly went to my closet and choose something to wear. I am going out! If Nate could do that, what am I stopping for?

I searched for the clothes Tina bought for me, it was a fitted black dress, she said it suited me but I never had the chance to wear it. Clubbing was really not my thing back then.

I smiled when I found it. I decided to pair it with black boots. I quickly took a bath, changed, and have put some simple make up on.

I dialed Tina's number. I needed some company tonight and being with her is all I need. After two rings she answered it.

"Let's go out tonight. No buts. I have changed already and I'm picking you up in 15 minutes. See you!"

"But--"

Before she could answer I hang up the call. I chuckled. I took my keys from my desk. It's so long since I have gone clubbing, I have nearly forgot how it felt like to be happy again and I badly needed it now.

I walked down the stairs when I heard the main door shot. I stood there frozen.

There stood Nate, his hands was on a waist of a blonde woman. Is that her?

No wonder. No wonder he wouldn't even spare me a single glance. She was beyond me. I was nothing compared to her. Before I could even notice, tears were rolling down my face.

"Have you stared enough?" he said.

"I-I..."

I could see how Nate smirked and guided her to his room. He didn't care at all. Why would he? He never did, why would he now?

I just stood there. Not long enough I heard noices, I closed my eyes and ran back to my room.

Out of frustration I packed some of my clothes. What I only thought of now was how to get away from this place. From him. I stood up, took my bags and slammed the door.

I quickly climbed down the stairs, ignoring the noices from his room. I slammed the main door again and went straight to my car.

I cried. I let out all of my pain. When I have recovered I drove, going straight to Tina's apartment.

....

Tina's POV

"Is this what you call 15 minutes-- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?!"

I immediately pulled Blair inside. She was carrying two bags and her face was a fcking mess.

Before I could even talk she hugged me and cried in my shoulder. I hugged her back she was also making me cry but I didn't.

"Oh honey, I'm here for you okay? How about we just talk about it, here tonight?" I asked and she just nodded.

"Okay, why don't you change clothes first and I'll ordeer us some pizza. It'l be like a sleepover!" I said and she just went straight to the bathroom.

I sighed. I carried her bags and brought them to my room. Clearly, she left home. That douche bag must have done something, I'll beat his *** the next time I'll see him. Hmp!

He will regret hurting my bestfriend like that!
