Freya's pov
I didn't feel like leaving my apartment today, all I want to do is just stay in bed and cry my heart out until there isn't anymore tears left to cry.
My heart is shattered, I feel so betrayed.
The buzzing of my phone draws my attention. I sigh grabbing my phone from the bedside table. I peer at the screen, it's Maggie she's been calling me for the past one hour.
How do I go to work and face Kimberly, the girl who I thought was my friend is sleeping with my boyfriend.
You know what I can't hide in here forever and I'm not the one who is at fault here, they are.
I sent Maggie a short text informing her I will be there a little late today.
"Freya, where have you been, I've tried calling you?" Maggie asked concern lacing her voice.
"I wasn't feeling too well so I took some pain medication last night and dozed off. I'm sorry for coming in late." I apologized to Maggie.
"It's no problem. I just hope you're okay"
I give her a small smile. "I'm fine just a little tired that's all."
She stares at my face for a moment, not believing me but then let's out a sigh.
"If there's something bothering you, you would tell me wouldn't you Freya?"
"Of course." I rasped.
She smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.
"Okay then I'll leave you to your work" She said as she turned around and started walking away.
I let out a long sigh. I hope she didn't see through my facade.

I didn't know avoiding Kimberly would've been so difficult.
"God Freya! you should just tell me what's bothering you" She exclaimed throwing her hands into the air.
You are. I wanted to say but held back my tongue.
"Since morning you've been acting strange and don't think for a second I didn't notice how you've been avoiding me" She huffed, returning behind the till.
I stopped wiping the tables, my gaze met hers.
"It's nothing. I'm just a little tired."
"Okay." She shrugged, her gaze flickered to the door. Her eyes sparkled with happiness and a small smile graced her heart shaped lips.
I followed her gaze and instantly my
Body trembled with rage.
"Hey Freya." Luke smiled wrapping his arms around me. "I've missed you so much." he purred.
Fury vibrated through me.
The audacity this man has? First he cheats on me and pretends nothing happened?. And then he lies to my face.
"Get your filthy hands off me Luke!" I hissed.
He frowned, shooting me a puzzled look. "What's the matter Freya?"
My hands squeezed into fists and my jaw clenched.
"Are you kidding me?" I yelled, my gaze narrowed at him.
"Are you really going to ask me that Luke? After what you've done?"
"Freya, what are you talking about?"
I snickered. "So now you're going to play dumb?
I know. I know you've been sleeping with Kimberly. I saw you two at it last night when I showed up at your apartment."
"Freya, we can explain." Kimberly chimed in rushing to my side from behind the till.
"I don't want to hear it, there's nothing to explain. I trusted you Kimberly, I thought you were my friend but you back stabbed me by sleeping with my boyfriend."
"And as for you were so done." I said whipping my head toward Luke shooting him an icy stare.
"I want absolutely nothing to do with you!"
"Is everything okay out here?" Maggie intervened.

"Now are you going to tell me what's going on? Or should I call Kimberly in here?" Maggie asked, crossing her arms.
"Luke cheated on me with Kimberly. I caught them last night at his apartment." I croaked.
"Oh sweetheart. I'm so sorry" She cooed embracing me in a warm hug.
"I had no idea what a bitch Kimberly is." Maggie gritted out shocking me.
It's the first time she spoke in that tone normally she's a sweet and polite lady. I never knew she had aside like this to her.
"You know what I think you need a brake, you've been working too hard these couple of months. You hardly have anytime for yourself. Perhaps a little holiday would do the trick"
"A holiday?" I questioned.
"Yes my child you need it." She insisted.
"But Maggie I can't just leave. My rent is due next week."
"Don't worry about it, I already sorted it out with your landlord" She smirked waving her hand in the air.
"You did what? Maggie why did you do that? As it is you've done more than enough for me."
"Oh stop whining child. It appears your landlord fancies me, he asked me if I could go out on a date with him"
"And what did you say?"
"I agreed on one condition that you don't pay rent for the next two months."
"Maggie you're unbelievable!" I gasped.
"So what do you say about that holiday?"
"I don't know, I've never been anywhere outside of this town before. I'm not sure I'm ready to leave."
"Oh come on Freya." she simpered, squeezing my shoulder.
"stop being so adamant and go. You definitely deserve to have a bit of fun in your life."
"Fine. I'll go!" I sighed.
"Excellent." She grinned.
