January, Tuesday 19th

Addison awoke the next morning to find herself completely alone apart from the company of Toggie. She looked at her phone and saw that she had no missed calls or texts messages. She wandered into the living room and found it to be empty as well. Slightly worried about where Pete was, she picked up her phone and dialled his number.

"Hello?" Lisa's voice floated down the line as she picked up after a few rings.

"Hello?" Addison frowned. "Who is this?"

"Lisa." She smirked to herself. "Who's this?"

Addison felt her heart drop. "Where's Pete?"

"In my bed," she lied. "Why?"

Addison felt the anger bubble through her body. "Why can't you just keep your hands off my husband and find your own?" she hissed.

"I didn't force him to do anything he didn't want to do, honey."

"You bitch. I hope you rot in hell." Addison hung up the phone and felt the tears sting her eyes before she dialled Naomi's number.

"Hey, Addi." Naomi answered after a few seconds.

"I think he's slept with Lisa." Addison blurted.

"What?" Naomi's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"

"Pete didn't come home last night so I rang him and she answered. I think they slept together." She tried to keep her tears at bay.

"What? But..." Naomi trailed off. "No, I don't believe that." She shook her head.

"I hate her. I hate her so much. Oh god, Nae." The tears began to flow down her cheeks. "Can you…can you just get Sam to go to hers and get him out of there?"

"Of course." She nodded. "I will. He'll be right there, okay, honey?"

"Can I come and stay with you?" Addison asked quietly. "I don't think I can face him."

"Of course you can." Naomi nodded again sadly.

"Thanks, Nae. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Don't drive yourself crazy now, sweetie, just come over first."

"I will. Give me ten minutes. Bye, Nae." Addison sighed and hung up her phone.


Sam banged loudly on Lisa's front door until she pulled it open to look at him. "Where is he?" he demanded.

"Where's who?" She looked at him innocently.

"Pete. Where is he?"

"That's none of your business."

Sam pushed past her and walked into her living room where Pete was led passed out on the couch.

"Let him sleep!" Lisa stormed after him.

"Pete, wake up." Sam shoved him annoyed. "Wake up." He mumbled something before he opened his eyes and blinked a few times. "Get up." Sam demanded. "Now."

"What the..." Pete sat up slowly and regretted it instantly as he felt his head. "What am I doing here?"

"You tell me. Get dressed I'm taking you home."

Pete rubbed his face before he stood up and looked around.

"And you," Sam turned and glared at Lisa. "Can stay the hell away from him in the future."

"I already told you that this is none of your business." Lisa looked back at him.

"Are you that unhappy that you have to go and ruin other people's marriages?"

"He wants me! Not her!"

"You have no idea what you're talking about. You're just a cold hearted bitch who gets kicks from destroying other's lives." Sam glared at her.

"Fuck." Pete ran a hand over his face before he looked at Lisa. "What the fuck am I doing here? Couldn't you just have taken me home?"

"Let's get you home before you're in even more trouble." Sam looked at his friend. Pete nodded before he grabbed his stuff and walked out of the room. Sam glared at Lisa once more before he followed Pete out as well. Lisa just crossed her arms and watched as they left her apartment.

"Urgh!" She screamed and stomped her foot before she slammed her front door closed.


Sam sighed and ran a hand over his bold head as he entered Naomi's apartment and closed the door behind him. He was greeted by the sight of Addison sobbing in Naomi's arms as she tried to sooth her. He stood still and just looked at them, not knowing what to do. Naomi looked up and caught sight of him stood in the doorway.

"I...he's home now." Sam slowly walked closer to them.

Addison moved her head and looked up at Sam with watery eyes. "Was he….was he with her?"

"He was asleep on the couch when I got there."

"Was he…was he naked?"

"No." Sam shook his head.

"He was dressed?" Addison wiped at her eyes and felt a little hope.

"Well, he was in his boxers." He looked at her. "But he wasn't naked..."

"Oh god." She started to sob again.

"That doesn't mean anything Addi..." Naomi tried to calm her down.

"He was in his boxers at her flat and he was drunk last night!"

Naomi sighed and looked up at Sam. Addison clung to her friend tightly and sobbed.

Suddenly Sam phone started ringing and he reached into his pocket to answer it. "Hello?" he answered.

"She's not home, Sam." Pete's voice floated down the line. "Is she with Nae?"

"Yeah, she's here." Sam glanced at a sobbing Addison.

"I need to talk to her, Sam."

"I don't think that's such a good idea right now."

"You have to tell her that I didn't sleep with Lisa. There was nothing between us."

"Doesn't seem like that right now."

"You don't believe me?" Pete asked shocked.

Sam looked at Naomi and Addison before he walked into the kitchen. "You were really drunk last night and you were kissing Lisa at one point. I found you half dressed in her flat this morning."

"She kissed me, Sam! I pushed her away, I didn't do anything."

"You shouldn't have gone with her."

"I was freaking drunk, Sam! You could have stopped me!"

"I saw you as I came out of the bathroom. By the time I got to the bar you were gone."

"I thought she was going to take me home." Pete sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Come on, Pete. She's Lisa. What did you really expect from her?"

"I was drunk."

"You should have thought, Pete." Sam sighed and ran a hand over his face. "She's really upset."

"I didn't mean to...I just slept there." Pete said desperately.

"She called you this morning to see where you were and Lisa answered."

"Of course she did because she's a bitch." he mumbled.

"I think you just need to give Addison some times."

"I have to talk with her." Pete sighed. "You have to tell her I didn't sleep with Lisa."

"She's not in the state to listen to anything."

"Ugh. Damn it, Sam. She wouldn't be in this state if she knew the truth!"

Sam sighed and ran a hand over his face. "But what is the truth?"

"What?"

"Pete, I know what you get like when you're drunk. You're a guy, it's to be expected."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Pete asked in disbelief. "I did not cheat on my wife, Sam."

"Look, I'll call you later."

Pete just shook his head before he hung up the phone and threw it into the corner angrily. Sam sighed before he walked back into the living room. Naomi looked up at him as he walked in, Addison still clinging to her.

"That was Pete." He spoke quietly. Naomi nodded and glanced down at her best friend. Sam sighed again and sat down in the chair. Naomi held Addison close and ran a hand up and down her back to calm her. Addison grasped hold of Naomi's shirt and took a deep breath.

"Is there anything you need, honey?" Naomi whispered. "Are you hungry? Do you want to sleep?"

"I want to forget everything."

"I know you do." She nodded sadly.

"I thought he loves me." Addison whispered.

"We...we don't know what happened exactly, Addi."

"He spent the nights at hers. He was in just his boxers and I'm sure she was hardly dressed."

"Maybe you should give him a chance to explain..." Sam shrugged slightly.

"I don't want to see him." Addison shook her head. Naomi sighed slightly and looked at her boyfriend. "I need to forget." Addison whispered.

"Do you want to try and sleep a little?"

She nodded and slowly pulled back from Naomi.

"Come on then." Naomi spoke softly as she stood up from the couch. Addison followed her friend into her bedroom before she lay down on the bed. "Call me if you need anything, okay?"

"I will, thank you, Nae."

"Just sleep." Naomi looked at her before she left the room. Sam looked up at his girlfriend as she walked back into the living room. "What the hell did he do, Sam?" Naomi looked back at him.

"I honestly don't know." he sighed. "He says that nothing happened, that she told him she was taking him home."

"Do you believe him?"

"I know that he loves her and he wouldn't purposely do anything to hurt her, but Lisa is an evil bitch."

"I am going to kick her fat, slutty ass." Naomi hissed.

"Get in line. Just give them both times to cool off and we'll sort things out."

"I hope so."

"Come here." Sam held his arms out for her. Naomi sighed curled into his side as she sat down next to him. "I love you." he whispered and kissed the top of her head.

"I love you too."

Sam held his girlfriend close and leaned his head against hers.

"I want them to be happy." Naomi whispered.

"I'll go and talk to Pete later. I'll find out what really happened."

"Okay." She nodded.

"We'll sort this out." he whispered and rubbed her back. Naomi just nodded again and snuggled closer to her boyfriend. Sam closed his eyes and breathed in her scent as he held her close.


A few hours later Sam knocked on the door to Pete and Addison's apartment. The door slowly opened and Sam was greeted by the sight of Pete with red rimmed eyes. He just looked at him before he opened the door wider to let him in.

"Don't you look lovely." Sam commented before he walked inside of the apartment.

"Fuck off, Sam." Pete looked at him before he walked into the living room.

"Okay." Sam turned and looked at his friend. "Tell me the whole story."

"There's nothing to tell."

"Tell me what happened last night."

"I got drunk, Lisa took me home, she tried to sleep with me, I told her to fuck off and passed out."

"Okay." Sam sighed and ran a hand over his head. "We need to figure out how you're going to make this up to Addison."

"I didn't even do anything." Pete looked at his friend. "I was drunk and I spent the night at an old friend's apartment. And yes she's a bitch and I hate her for what she did but I did not sleep with her. What if I went home with Naomi and slept on her couch? No one would have said anything then."

"Because Addison trusts Naomi." Sam pointed out. "Nae wouldn't hurt her friend like that, but Lisa would."

"But I wouldn't."

"I know." Sam sighed. "I know."

"I thought she knew that."

"Look, she's sleeping right now. Freshen yourself up and I'll take you to her."

"Okay." Pete nodded. Sam nodded as well and sat down on the couch while he waited for his friend. Pete disappeared into the bathroom and quickly got ready.


Addison lay curled up on Naomi's bed and stirred slightly as she felt fingers lightly brush her cheek. Slowly her eyes fluttered up and she blinked a few times.

"Hey…" Pete looked at her. Addison looked at him shocked and didn't say anything. "Can we talk? Please?"

"About what? About how you slept with her?"

"I didn't sleep with her, Addi." He looked at her.

"You were drunk and you spent the night at hers. She answered your phone and Sam found you in your boxers."

"All I did was sleep on her couch."

"Why did you even go home with her?" Addison sat up and looked at him.

"I thought she was going to take me home."

"She's Lisa!"

"I was drunk, I didn't think." He defended himself.

"So whenever you get drunk you don't think and will end up sleeping at random women's apartments? Well, that gives me great hope!"

"I thought she would take me home to you!"

"She's Lisa! It's obvious what she wants from you!"

"But I didn't give it to her! I would never do that! No matter how drunk I am!"

Addison just looked at him before she looked away.

"I thought you knew how much I love you." Pete looked at her. "I thought you trust me."

"Just go, Pete." she whispered.

"But...I didn't do anything. I know I shouldn't have slept there but I didn't do anything. I would never cheat on you."

"Now she has something else to hold over me."

"Who cares about what she has?"

"She will always be able to hold this over me." Addison looked at her husband. "She'll add it to the growing pile that she has. She will always be better than me and she'll make sure I know it."

"She's not better than you." Pete shook his head.

"She is and she knows it."

"But I love you . I am married to you . I don't care about whatever she thinks she is or isn't."

"Just go, Pete. All I can see is you with her."

Pete sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Just go." She turned away from him.

"Can't you just come home with me? We're married, you can't just...run away."

"No." Addison shook her head. "I don't want to look at you right now." Pete just stood and looked at her. "Go." She whispered and lay down on her side with her back to him.

Pete sighed before he turned and slowly walked to the door. "I love you." He spoke quietly as he glanced at her one more time. Addison squeezed her eyes shut as she felt the tears start once more. Quietly he closed the door behind him, trying his best to keep his own tears at bay. Naomi and Sam looked up from where they sat in the living room as he walked out. He just glanced down on the floor, not saying anything. Sam gave a sigh and stood up and placed a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Take care of her, yeah?" Pete looked up and looked at Naomi. "Please." Naomi just nodded as she looked at him. He nodded as well before he gave another sigh. "I should go."

"I'll see you, man." Sam looked at him.

"Yeah. I'll see you." Pete nodded before he walked to the door. Sam sighed and turned to look at his girlfriend. She just shrugged and leaned back against the couch.

"Well, that went well." he commented and sat back down.

"She needs time."

"Yeah." He sighed and nodded. Naomi nodded as well and looked ahead of her. "Do you think they'll sort it out?"

"I don't know."

"I hope they do." He sighed again and leaned his head back as he closed his eyes.

"Me too."

Sam wrapped an arm around her shoulders and held her close. Naomi sighed and closed her eyes as she leaned into him.


Lisa is just lovely don't you think?
