A/N: Lisa is a bitch, but don't tell me you don't like the drama?

January, Wednesday 20th

Addison hugged her books close to her chest as she walked down the hallway in school. She just wanted the day to be over. She tried to block out everything around her as she walked along quickly. She reached her locker and pulled it open before she began to put everything into her bag. She slowed down her movements and listened to a voice and the clicking of heels on the floor coming closer. Addison closed her eyes and braced herself.

"Oh, Addison, hey." Lisa smiled as she unlocked her locker a few metres away.

"What do you want, Lisa?" Addison snapped.

"Nothing, I'm just being friendly." She shrugged and looked through her locker.

"Like hell you are." Addison slammed her locker shut.

"Oh come on, just because I slept with your husband, doesn't mean we can't be friends."

"Of course it means we can't be friends," she hissed. "I wouldn't want to be friends with you anyway. All you have ever done is take everything away from me."

"He chose to do it." Lisa shrugged.

"You bitch." Addison raised her hand before she slapped Lisa hard across the face. "You're never happy until everyone else is unhappy."

"What the hell is wrong with you, woman?" Lisa pushed her away.

"You slept with my husband!" she screamed.

"He wanted me because you can obviously not satisfy his needs!"

"You seduced him!"

"He wanted me!" Lisa looked at her before she smiled evilly. "I can still feel his hands all over me." Addison glared at her before she slapped Lisa again. "Stop slapping me bitch!" Lisa pushed her away again. Addison reached forward and pushed Lisa back. Lisa glared at her and pushed her back again. "Do you want to see some photos? It was one hot night."

"You bitch!" Addison screamed before she pushed Lisa back so they both fell on the floor.

"Get off of me, bitch." Lisa hissed and tried to push Addison down on the floor. Addison grabbed a handful of Lisa hair and pulled at it. "Ouch!" Lisa screamed before she slapped Addison hard in the face and began to kick her legs.

"Argh!" Addison rolled over as Lisa pushed her.

"You bitch!" Lisa hissed and scratched her arm as she tried to push her away again.

"I'm not the adulterous bitch!" Addison slapped Lisa again.

"Still your husband doesn't want you!"

"He doesn't want some whore like you!"

"Still he fucked me like I was the only one he ever wanted!" Lisa lied and pushed Addison hard into the stomach.

"I hate you! I hope you rot in hell!" Addison pushed Lisa back onto the floor.

Just then Pete walked out of a class room and his eyes widened as he saw the two women rolling around on the floor. A small crowd had gathered around them to watch. "What the..." He trailed off before he pushed through the few people that were watching and leaned down to try and part them. They continued to fight until Pete had Addison in his arms.

"She started slapping me first!" Lisa yelled as she looked at Pete and got up from the floor.

"Go to hell," Addison hissed.

"Just get away from here." Pete glared at Lisa.

"She started this. It's not my problem she can't satisfy anyone." Lisa looked at them before she turned and walked away.

"The show is over, okay?" Pete looked at the few people that had watched everything. Addison stood in Pete's arms breathing heavily. "Are you okay?" Pete looked down at her.

"Get off me." She tried to pull out of his arms.

"Are you okay?" he repeated.

"Let go of me."

"What did she say?"

"What do you care?" Addison pulled out of his grasp and looked at the bleeding scratches on her arm.

"Does it hurt?" He moved a hand to carefully touch her arm.

"Ouch." She pulled back from his touch as it stung.

"Sorry."

Addison glanced up at him with one cheek bright red and a small cut across her cheek bone.

"We should really disinfect the cuts, Addi." He looked back at her.

"I'll be fine."

"You have a cut on your cheek."

"I can look after myself." She turned to walk towards the bathroom.

"Wait." Pete walked after her.

"What?" Addison didn't stop or look at him.

"Can we talk?"

"Why?" She pushed open the door to the women's bathroom.

"Because I want you to come back home."

"You should have thought about that before you screwed Lisa." She walked into the bathroom and over to the sinks where she washed the cuts on her arms.

"I told you I didn't sleep with her."

"She has photos!" Addison turned and looked at him angrily as he walked into the women's bathroom.

"She is lying, Addi, she always is."

"Photos are proof." She turned back to the sink and scrubbed the cuts.

"But there are no photos!"

"How do you know?"

"I didn't sleep with her so how can there be any photos?"

"How can you be so sure you didn't sleep with her when you were so drunk?" Addison continued to scrub the cuts on her arms so her flesh turned red.

"God, would you please stop that?" Pete walked over to her and moved her hand from her cut. She looked up at him annoyed but didn't pull her hands back. Pete turned and pulled open the first aid box on the wall before he got something to disinfect the wounds.

"I hate her."

"I know and I hate her just as much."

"Why? Why did you even agree to go with her? Of all the people. You both want to hurt me that much?"

"I can't believe you seriously think that." Pete shook his head at her.

"You know me and her don't get along yet you still bother to be friends with her. All she has ever done is made my life miserable."

"I am not friends with her! She came to me and said she wanted to start over again, be friends and I told her she'd have to apologise to you first! I didn't know that was just another one of her tricks to try and part us!"

"You agreed to start over!" Addison looked at him with glassy eyes. "You agreed."

"I did not! I said I want her to apologise to you first!"

"But then you were going to start again! I wanted her out of our lives! I thought you were the one thing that she'd never be able to take from me but I guess I was wrong." She pulled her arms back as the tears threatened to fall.

"But I am here !" Pete looked at her. "I didn't do anything! I got so freaking drunk I slept on her couch and I am sorry okay? I am sorry I didn't come home that night! But if that is reason enough for you to end this marriage then...then I don't know."

Addison just took an anti-septic wipe from the first aid box before she wiped at the cut on her cheek. Pete stood and looked at her before glanced down on the floor and crossed his arms in front of his chest. She threw the wipe in the bin before she walked into a stall and locked the door. He leaned against the sinks on the wall and looked at the stall she disappeared in. Addison slid down a wall before she buried her face into her arms and began to cry.

"Addi..." Pete sighed and walked towards the cubicle.

"What?"

"Why can't you just believe me?" He leaned his forehead against the door. "I would never, ever, be able to cheat on you. I could never hurt you like that and I don't even want any other woman but you. I love you. And I thought you knew that."

"You've already hurt me." She sniffed and hugged her knees closer.

"I know and you have no idea how much I hate myself for this. But I really didn't do anything."

"You spent the nights at hers."

"I passed out there."

"You still went there."

"I thought she was going to take me home, but she didn't and I was just so tired so I just fell asleep on that couch and slept until Sam woke me in the morning."

"I was worried about you. I had no idea where you were and then she answers your phone. Do you have any idea how I felt?"

"I'm sorry." Pete sighed. "You have no idea how sorry I am."

"Please, just leave me alone," she whispered. Pete's jaw tensed angrily before he pushed himself from the cubicle and he kicked the wall next to it hard with his foot. Addison jumped slightly from the noise and hugged her knees tighter.

"I love you." Pete turned and looked at the stall she was in and he felt the tears sting in his eyes. "I love you more than anything. You are everything to me. You are my life. And I make one freaking mistake that I regret so much and you just throw our marriage away? You just don't come home anymore, you tell me to leave you alone, refuse to talk to me. I thought you love me? I thought you trust me, Addison."

She squeezed her eyes shut tightly as more tears rolled down her cheeks and stung the cut. Pete took a deep breath and wiped away a single tear that made its way down his cheek before he turned away from where she was sat.

Addison leaned her forehead against her arms as she cried. "I love you." she whispered barely audible. He closed his eyes briefly as he heard her words before he looked at the wall ahead of him again. She stayed sat in the cubicle as she cried quietly. Pete leaned against a wall before he slid down on it and sat on the floor. The two of them sat in the women's bathroom quietly. Neither of them moved or said anything. They both sat sadly and wanted to be in each other's arms. All they wanted in that moment was to be held by the other.

Naomi was led curled up on the couch in her living room that night while Addison was sat on the settee next to her. They hadn't spoken much about Pete or what happened and Naomi figured it was better to let her come out with it herself when she felt like it. Addison had her head resting on the arm as she lay cuddled up under a blanket. Naomi glanced at her friend and gave a small sigh. She looked miserable. You could tell that she had been crying more than usual since the day before and there was no expression in her face, there was nothing. Addison's phone began to ring for the fifth time that night but she once again just ignored it and let it ring.

"You not going to answer at some point?" Naomi asked carefully.

"No." She shook her head. "It'll be Pete again or my parents."

"You could turn it off."

"Yeah." Addison nodded before she reached forward, ended the call then turned her phone off. Naomi looked at her and sighed again. "Do you think he did it?" Addison looked at her friend.

"Sam said he didn't."

"But what do you think?"

"I don't think he did it."

Addison nodded before she snuggled back up again.

"What do you think?"

"I don't know. I want to believe him I really do, but…"

"But what?"

"She says she has photos," Addison whispered. "If she has photos then he really did sleep with her."

"Did she show you the photos?"

"No." She shook her head.

"God knows she even has them."

"But what if she does? What if she does have photos?"

"Does it really matter? Do you believe him or not?"

"I don't know," Addison whispered. "I really want to." Naomi nodded slowly before she looked back at the TV. "I thought he'd be the one thing she wouldn't take from me."

"You know he doesn't really want her. If he did he would be with her."

Addison looked down at her weddings rings and twirled them around her finger.

"Do you trust him?" Naomi watched her friend. "Like if you get back together, would you trust him again?"

"I…I…yeah…I might do."

"But that's one of the most important things."

"I don't know, Nae. I just don't know."

"Okay." Naomi sighed. Addison pulled the blankets closer and tried not to think of Pete. Naomi gave a yawn and looked back at the TV.

"I love him, Nae." Addison whispered.

"I know you do, Addison." She looked back at her.

"Why can't something just go right for me for once?"

"You don't know what happened."

"Why did he have to go to hers?"

"He probably really just slept there Addi."

"Why was he in just his boxers though? If he just slept he should have been fully clothed."

"And if he slept with her he should have been naked." Naomi shrugged. Addison nodded and curled up tighter. "I'm not saying it is right what he did, or that you have no right to be upset, but...you are Addison and Pete, Addi." Naomi looked at her friend. "You are so perfect for each other and you are so in love and I think what you two have is so rare. When he looks at you...I just...normally I'd never say that about some guy but there is just no way I can see him cheating on you." She shrugged again. "Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, but I just can't think he would do that."

Addison looked up at her friend as her eyes shone with tears. "You really don't think he did?"

"No." Naomi shook her head. "But you are the one who should know, not me, Addi."

"I just…I want everything to be normal again."

"Yeah."

"I'm going to go to bed." Addison stood up from where she lay.

"Okay." Naomi nodded.

"Night." She turned and left the room.

"Night." Naomi gave a small sigh and watched her friend.

A/N: Coudln't resist the cat fight between them :P
