Betrayal for the Better- Chapter 3

This chapter is for kinabon x3 because of the stuffed panda bear xD

Mary-Lynnette walked into her dorm room with a towel on her head, drying her dark hair.

"Hey." Hannah was lying on her bed, her light blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail incase she threw up into the trashcan next to her bed.

Mary-Lynnette sat next to her roommate and inquired where Thierry was.

"He went to get some ginger ale or Gatorade or something." Hannah squeezed her eyes shut as she tried to remember. "Anyway, what did you want to talk to me about?" Hannah asked, looking her friend in the eye.

Mary-Lynnette held out her pinkie and Hannah shook it with her own. Mary-Lynnette looked down at Hannah's comforter before meeting Hannah's cool gray eyes. "I slept with Ash Redfern." Mary-Lynnette admitted.

Hannah stared at Mary-Lynnette.

Oh, God, she looks horrified. Mary-Lynnette thought, which added to her guilt.

"How drunk were you?" Hannah asked.

"Very. I don't remember any of it…" Mary-Lynnette didn't say she did it with Ash twice…

Hannah continued to stare and Mary-Lynnette looked down. "So, if you don't remember it, how do you know?" Well that was a ridiculous question.

"I woke up next to him naked." Mary-Lynnette answered.

"Oh. Right. Duh. Sorry, my brains a little foggy."

"I know how you feel." Mary-Lynnette groaned, she hadn't been able to think clearly all day.

"So… You feel pretty guilty, huh?" Hannah guessed.

"Whose guilty about what?" Thierry asked making both girls jump as he came into the dorm with a plastic bag.

"Mary-Lynnette had an affair with Ash Redfern." Hannah told him, accepting the Gatorade he offered her.

"Hannah!"

Thierry nearly dropped the Gatorade he was handing Mary-Lynnette. "What?" His expression said he suspected a practical joke.

Mary-Lynnette felt tears stream down her face and nodded slowly.

"Don't worry; Thierry won't tell." Hannah promised, her tone implying bad things would happen if he told.

"When are you going to tell Jeremy?" Thierry peeled his eyes from Hannah to look at Mary-Lynnette.

"As soon as I get over the fact I cheated on him!" Mary-Lynnette sobbed, throwing herself onto her own bed.

Thierry and Hannah exchanged worried glances.

"I can't believe I would do that! Even if I was drunk! It shouldn't matter! He'll hate me for the rest of his life!" Mary-Lynnette bawled.

"Mary-Lynnette," Hannah got off her bed to go and rub Mare's back. "Jeremy loves you. Nothing will ever change that. You were extremely drunk, like the rest of us, and had no clue what you were doing. He'll understand that!"

"But...But… He'll kill Ash…" Mary-Lynnette cried.

"And you're opposed to that?" Mary-Lynnette didn't have to look to know Hannah was raising her eyebrows.

"Yes." Mary-Lynnette couldn't explain, but she knew she wouldn't really ever be right if Ash was dead.

"Mare…" Hannah trailed off, not knowing what to say herself but wanting her friend to know she was listening.

"I just want you to know I'm here for you. But you need to tell Jeremy soon." Hannah found the words to say.

"I know I do! Bu- but I don't know how!"

"Just tell him. Explain to him what happened."

Mary-Lynnette pulled her face from her pillow. "Okay." She wiped her eyes.

"So when are you going to?" Hannah asked.

"Umm… The day after tomorrow. He has to work tomorrow and I want to spend the whole day with him." Mary-Lynnette decided.

"Okay." Hannah smiled and wished her friend the best of luck.
