A/N: I know I said no new stories until I finish two but…well, no excuse. Enjoy this fam!

Hannah Emily Jacobs was quite possibly the best thing that had happened to Zed in years. She was fun and charming and sweet and really pretty. They had met at her job at a little vegan restaurant called Brain Foods. Zed had gone in several times, flirting with her until he finally asked her on a date. And from there, it was magic. A year and two months of pure bliss.

Every Friday, after his last class, he went straight to Brain Foods for lunch. Hannah had told him earlier that she wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be working, which meant he didn't have any reason to go since he usually spent his afternoon there with her. But he figured he would be a good boyfriend and pick up some food for her and bring it by her apartment.

Hannah would be really surprised, like she was whenever he decided to do random cute things like that. Should he get the best boyfriend award? Okay there were probably better boyfriends, but the point was there.

Hannah's coworker and friend Jaz was working the register. She smiled an adorable, dimpled smile and took his order. Once the order was in, she moved to the end of the counter and asked him, "I thought Hannah told you she wasn't working today?"

Zed grinned and said, "I'm bringing her lunch."

Jaz's eyebrows rose in surprise. "Really? I thought she was…"

"Sick? Yeah but who likes being alone when they're stuck in bed?"

"Uh, most people?"

Zed shrugged. The kitchen worker slid his to-go order through the window, and Jaz grabbed it and passed it to him. "Good luck with your visit," she told him.

Zed smiled, taking the food and heading out. He made the walk to her apartment, a couple of blocks away, take the stairs with a spring in his step until he got to her floor. He knocked, then figured she was either asleep or in her room, where she couldn't hear the door. It was fine, since Zed knee she kept her spare key under the plant at the end of the hall.

He went into her apartment, calling out her name. He heard a muffled response from her bedroom as he dropped the food off in the kitchen, peering through her opened door.

His eyes widened in horror at the sight of his girlfriend, naked and in bed with another woman.

"What the fuck!?"

Both women froze, the blonde between Hannah's legs turning and giving him a confused look. He was disgusted and embarrassed, and…furious. Hannah had the decency to look horrified, pulling the sheet over part of her body and curling up within herself.

"Zed! I-What are you doing here?"

Zed ignored her, instead asking (and shouting) at the blonde woman, "Who the fuck are you and why are you with my girlfriend!"

Her mouth fell open and she stood up, her expression mirroring his. "Your girlfriend? I'm dating Hannah! Who the fuck are you?"

They both glared at each other for several more seconds before turning their attention to Hannah, who looked like a deer caught in headlights. Her face was red and her hair was a mess and he felt more anger and jealousy flare through his veins; he was the only one who should get her like that, not some random bimbo.

"Well Hannah? What's been going on?" the other woman asked. "Who is this guy!"

Hannah cleared her throat, running a hand through her hair to make it look a little more settled. "Addy, this is my boyfriend, Zed. Zed, this is my girlfriend."

His world was already shattering when he walked in on them, but now it was destroyed. His girlfriend—who he had dedicated all his time and energy and everything to—had been cheating on him. With a woman! It was obvious Hannah didn't care about him or their relationship, like he had thought. God, he felt so stupid!

He needed to get out of there. Get away from her and the situation before he did something he might regret. He wouldn't be like Hannah.

He swallowed thickly, nodding his head. "I'm out of here," he grumbled, turning and storming away. What hurt the most was that she didn't even call out for him to come back.

Once he was out of the building, he shoved his hands in his pockets and made his way to the bus stop. "Hey!" he heard behind him, but he figured it wasn't for him until the same person called, "Hey! Wait up!"

He turned and saw the blonde woman who had been sleeping with his girlfriend jogging towards him. He clenched his fists in his pockets, the sight of her making him angry. At least she was wearing clothes now. She stopped right in front of him, taking a moment to catch her breath.

Zed gave her an offended look. Wondering how she could have the audacity to approach him, "What do you want from me now? Ruining my life wasn't enough?"

"Don't be mad at me!" she said defensively. "I didn't even know you existed until you-you walked in on us."

He huffed, letting out some of his tension and crossing his arms over his chest. The woman—Hannah had called her 'Addy,' like the drug—sighed, her shoulders going slack. "You're really her boyfriend, huh?" she asked.

Seeing how defeated she was drained him of more of his anger. He let his arms drop to his side and asked, "How long were you guys dating?"

"Sunday was supposed to be our one year anniversary," she explained. "We were gonna drive up and spend the weekend at this really nice lake cabin."

The corner of his mouth turned down in a frown. He couldn't help but feel bad for her, she looked so heartbroken and sad. "I'm sorry," he sympathized. "She's an asshole for doing this to us."

"How long were you guys dating?" Addy asked.

"A year and two months, just a little longer than you," he told her.

Addy hummed, looking down. "I feel so awful." She sniffed, and it took him a second to realize that she was crying, or maybe trying not to cry. "I never thought I'd be the other woman. I'm so sorry, Zed."

"This is bullshit," he grumbled. "She doesn't get to treat us like that."

Addy nodded in agreement, and looked away, avoiding eye contact with Zed. It was silent for a moment and he took the opportunity to fully gauge her. The straps of her simple, pastel dress were haphazardly hanging off her shoulders, and she held her jacket and shoes in her arms, making him believe she got dressed in a rush and ran out to find him. Thinking back on the events from mere minutes before made him blush. Sure, he had just seen her fully naked, but being completely infuriated tends to shift your focus to more important issues. Plus, he didn't care much to look at the body of the woman who just destroyed his relationship.

Though he couldn't forget that she didn't do it on purpose. How could she have known the Hannah was dating him? She had been playing both of them for fools for a year.

"Well, I just wanted to apologize for what happened," Addy said. "I'm gonna…go home. Probably cry for a bit. Eat my weight in ice cream." She shrugged and said, "Normal break up stuff."

Zed sighed, making a spur of the moment decision and pulling out his wallet, fishing out a five and holding it out for her. "Ice cream's on me, okay?"

"Oh you don't have to—"

"It's fine, really," he told her. She eyed it warily, taking the bill from his hands. "It's the least I could do. After everything that happened today."

"Thank you," she whispered, looking at him with wide eyes. Her cheeks went red and she glanced down, tugging on the end of her hair. "I'm gonna go ...think, and cry, a lot."

"And eat lots of ice cream," Zed added with a small smile. Addy let out a slight giggle. He was happy he got to make her smile, especially after the crappy day they'd just had. He gave her a slight wave, taking several small steps backwards. "Bye."

She waved, turned and walked quickly in the opposite direction. He shoved his hands in his pockets, turning and walking toward his own apartment. The day had gone from good to awful, to just…odd. He had no idea how he was even feeling about the whole situation, about Hannah or about this girl.

All he knew what that he needed a drink.
