Chapter 7

Brian checked his phone to see if Mary had responded to his text before he entered the club with a few of his friends.

He ordered a drink at the bar and turned around to watch the dancers dance to a song by Maroon 5.

He was shocked to see Mary dancing, then his heart stopped.

She was dancing with Matthew Crawley.

And they were kissing.

Overwhelmed with anger, he stormed towards them and roughly pulled them apart. Matthew and Mary were too shocked to say anything.

'How dare you?' Brian said, 'How fucking dare you, both of you.'

'Can we take this outside please.' Mary pleaded, now recovered from the shock.

Once they were outside however, Brian left, saying,'You're disgusting Mary Crawley, I hate you, I fucking hate you. How could you? I have been nothing but nice to you, and you repay me by doing this? Bloody hell, you could have at least told me the truth.'

Knowing that he spoke the truth, Mary remained silent, so he continued.

'Goodbye, and good riddance with the slut.' He said to Matthew before walking off.

'Brian, please wait.' Mary said.

'Fuck off Mary.' Was all he said.

'Mary I am so sorry...' Matthew started to say but Mary simply brushed by him without a word.

~~~~~~~~

Mary sat on her bed, head in her hands.

God what have I done? She thought to herself. I kissed Matthew. And Brian saw us. So much for a happy future.

And then she remembered what Brian had said: Good riddance with the slut. Matthew hadn't been able to question that. With a resigned sign, she started crying.

Matthew sat on his bed, head in his head. How could he have been so stupid? He had known that Mary ws in a relationship. But he hadn't been able to help himself.

And what had Brian meant, Good luck with the slut? Mary wasn't a slut... was she?

With a resigned sigh he downed a couple of beers, resulting in him becoming drunk.

'What are you doing?' Mary asked sleepily.

Sybil had just walked in the door of her apartment with a very determined face.

Since the kiss and the breakup, Mary had been distant, drunk too much, hadn't esten enough etc.

Sybil had noticed it and as she walked into the normally meticulously clean kitchen that was now littered with dirty bowels with half eaten meals, she was even more determined.

Without bothering to respond, Sybil made toast, eggs, fruit salad and coffee, and forced Mary to eat it.

Then she made Mary help with the kitchen, and lectured her about taking care of her well being.

After that, they had a nice long walk in Central Park. Mary then told Sybil the whole story.

'You need to tell Matthew about Pamuk, Mary.' Sybil said firmly.

'What if he despises me?' Mary asked sadly.

'I doubt that Matthew could ever despise you. He will be shocked. Then he will forgive you and then you'll move on.' Sybil said.

'You sound so confident.' Mary said with a small smile.

'I am confident.'

They went out to lunch before heading to her apartment. After watching a movie, they ate dinner and Sybil tucked Mary into bed like a little girl

.'I love you Sybil.' Mary smiled sleepily before falling asleep.

'What's wrong mate?' Andy looked at a hungover and utterly drained Matthew. Matthew poured out the story.

'Go and talk to her, make things up, understand each other.' Andy suggested; and Matthew realized how right he was.
