Forever Chicago
What Did I Do Last Night
Patrick’s POV*
Fuck my head hurts, I thought as I rubbed it. I turned over to say good morning to my beautiful fiancé, but as I did I jumped out of bed. Jamie lay there still asleep wearing nothing but the thin sheets covering her. What the fuck did I just do?! Why am I here?! I looked down and I too was wearing nothing. I rummaged through all the clothes on the ground and found mine. I quietly shut the door, swearing silently to myself. Did I seriously just do that?! What was I thinking?! I looked for my car a little before I realized I didn’t have my car. I didn’t wanna go home just yet, so I started my walk to nowhere.
*Abby’s POV*
“Good morning baby” I leaned in to give Patrick a kiss on the cheek, but instead I ended up kissing someone else. I opened my eyes and saw Alex and his bare chest lying next to me. “Oh my god!” I yelled covering myself with the blanket. Alex opened his eyes and looked over. “Alex, what did I do last night!” “Well, whatya think ya did? You’re naked!” he said laughing. “Oh my god! This isn’t good!” I said as I scurried out of bed to find my clothes. “Hey that’s not what ya screamed out last night” I looked over at him patting the bed gesturing me to get back in it. “Alex, I’m sorry if I gave you the wrong idea, but I am getting married, and honestly what I did last night could jeopardize that. Listen, you can’t tell anyone about this. Please, it would mean so much to me if you didn’t.” He got out of bed and pulled his t shirt over his head. “I won’t Abby, I promise” He kissed me on the cheek and left.
What did I do?! I thought. I honestly couldn’t remember most of it, but the little part I did, I enjoyed it. What was I thinking?! I enjoyed it?! I am getting married! I changed the sheets and blankets and shut the bedroom door. I needed to talk to someone. I had no clue where Patrick was, or if he was even okay. He never came home last night, and his car was still in the driveway. “I hope he’s okay” I said to myself as I picked up the wine glasses off the coffee table. I saw my phone lying next to the tissues and I picked it up. A couple of emails and a text from Arianna. “Hey”, it read. I put my phone back down and continued to clean. I will tell Arianna later.
After an hour of cleaning, I sat on the couch exhausted. My body felt like it weighed 1000 pounds. I looked terrible. I still looked like I had been crying. I felt terrible too. I needed to talk to Patrick. He needed to know, but how was I going to tell him. I had never cheated on anyone before, and I loved Patrick more than anything. If he found out, he would probably end it, right then and there. I started to feel tears falling onto my hands. More and more hitting my skin as I lay back on the couch sobbing to myself.
*Patrick’s POV*
I had no clue where I was going. I wasn’t too familiar with this part of Chicago, but still I was walking nowhere. Not many people asked for pictures or autographs. They probably saw the grief on my face as I sulked, walking from street to street. My relationship with Abby was more than likely over. I knew she would find out about this eventually, and she’s already pissed in the first place. I wanted to go home so badly. I wanted to go home, hold her in my arms, and she would kiss me telling me everything is okay. I don’t blame her for hating me, kicking me out, and never speaking to me again. I acted like an ass the past couple weeks. How could I not see it?! I thought to myself. I felt like crying. I never felt like that. I mean, I am not the person you would see crying, but this time was different. I held it in, and continued to walk up a small hill. I knew exactly where I was now. I passed the pizza place that held so many memories. I stood there looking in the window for a minute. The people inside stood there giving me funny looks, but I couldn’t move. I saw a couple sitting in the same booth Abby and I sat when she proposed to me. They were laughing and holding hands. I swallowed hard and continued to walk on. I soon passed the thrift shop where right outside was the first time I kissed Abby. I sat there staring across the street. What am I doing here? I thought. Ya know what, I’m goin’ home and making things right. I stood up and started to walk back home. It was going to take a while. Our home wasn’t anywhere near, but I needed to prepare what I was going to say.
*Arianna’s POV*
“Hold on one sec Segs” I said as I heard my phone ring. I grabbed my phone out of my purse and headed to go talk outside. Why would Abby be calling? I thought as I picked up the phone. “Hey Abs what's up?” Immediately, I heard crying. I didn’t say anything for a minute. I just let her cry into the phone. “Abby! What is it?” I yelled, trying to calm her down. “Did Pat do something to you, because I swear if he did...” The crying stopped for a second. “No Arianna, I did something. I did something awful.” She started to cry again, and I sat on a bench, realizing this might take a while. “Abby what did you do? Are you alright?” I asked her, getting agitated that she wouldn’t tell me what was going on. “Ar, I slept with Alex. I was drunk, and I just slept with him.” I didn’t know what to say. In a way, it felt like Abby was cheating on all of us. It had always been Abby, Arianna, Jon and Pat. “Abby...how, how could you?” I managed to say. I heard her sniffling and crying even harder than before. “I don’t know Ar. I have no clue why I did it. I’m not happy about it. I don’t know what to do!” The anger in me finally started to pass as I started to comfort her. “Abby, you have to tell him the truth. If he truly understands you, he will forgive you hopefully.” Abby didn’t answer but I could tell she acknowledged me. I felt terrible. I felt bad for both Abby and Pat. They had been going through so much lately. “Arianna, thank you so much. I needed to talk to at least someone.” “You’re welcome Ab” I said. “Keep me updated on everything and if you still wanna talk I’m here, and if I’m busy I will put Bergy or Segs on the phone. They give good advice too ya know.” I heard a small chuckle on the other line. “I will Ar. I definitely will” I hung up the phone and sat back on the bench. Holy shit, what did that girl just do? I thought. I heard the door open and Segs sat down next to me. “What’s wrong sweetie? You look pretty pissed.” I looked over at Tyler. “Nothing, I will tell you later. I just need to think.” Ty nodded his head as he started to rub my back trying to comfort me.
*Abby’s POV*
I felt better. Thank god for Arianna. I thought I was going to have a mental breakdown. I needed to talk to Patrick immediately, but the problem was, I had no clue where he was. I picked up my phone and was about to call him. I heard the door open. I looked up and there was Patrick. I put my phone down as he walked towards me. Right at that moment I started to ball.
