I slammed the door behind me as I entered the house and threw my bag on to the floor in the hallway.

"I'm in the kitchen" Katrina called through to me. I silently walked into the kitchen and sat on a stool "How was your first day?" she asked turning away from the vegetables she was currently prepping for dinner.

"Yeah, better than expected" I smiled, and it really had gone better than expected. My boss and colleagues were lovely and had shown me everything I needed to know, I enjoyed it.

"Oh, that's lovely" She smiled, "Oh…Adam popped by earlier with a gift" She told me handing me a bag. I frowned at the bag in front of me completely confused as to why he had brought a gift round when he knew I wouldn't be in; I had told him when I last saw him, I was starting a job today. I hadn't spoken to Adam since I had been to his house and found Beth, it had hurt more than I thought it would to see another woman at his house and so I had decided to distance myself from him and concentrate on the new job. "Well, aren't you going to open it?" She asked clearly confused at the fact I was just sat staring at the bag.

"Yeah" I nodded taking a box out of the bag in front of me. In my hand was an I-phone box I stared confused for a moment before it began to dawn on me what had happened. "He's bought me a phone" I uttered ripping the box open to find a brand new I-phone. I gasped in shock.

"Oh my" Katrina stuttered. I plugged the phone in and it switched on straight away, there was one number already in the phone.

"His phone number is already in it" I told her "I'm going to text him to say thank you" I told her as I began to type a quick text out to Adam.

Just got home to the phone. Thank you so much you didn't have to do that!

I couldn't believe he had actually bought me a phone. My head was swimming with a million questions, why had he bought me a phone? And why had he brought it round when he knew I wouldn't be here? I wasn't sure what to think. Gavin slowly began creeping into my mind again as I sat silently picking at my nails and I suddenly felt the all too familiar tightness in my chest began slowly rising again, tears began burning my eyes.

"What's wrong darling?" Katrina asked putting an arm round me "What happened between you two?" She added.

"Nothing Katrina" I sighed "Everything is just all too much" I told her "It's been just over a month since I got here and I finally feel like I'm starting to making steps in the right direction but Gavin is still there in my head" I added.

"It'll be fine" she squeezed my shoulder and kissed the top of my head. My phone pinged and I grabbed it quickly.

Can we meet?

Adam x

I frowned at the screen and rubbed my eyes out of tiredness. I didn't have the energy to see Adam at the moment, I was emotionally and physically exhausted I just didn't have it in me to have this conversation with him right now.

Maybe tomorrow? I'm so tired

Jayme x

I sat tapping away at my desk quietly. Adam hadn't replied to my text so I had assumed that meant he didn't want to talk anymore I took a deep breath trying to get rid of the tight feeling in my chest.

"How long have you been married then?" Isabelle the pretty blonde girl working on the desk next to me suddenly asked.

"Pardon?" I snapped confused.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to be intrusive…I just wanted to get to know you" She said awkwardly. I looked down at my left hand faced with the gold wedding band that was still on my finger. I sighed and closed my eyes willing the tears that were pricking my eyes to go away.

"Together for 10 years and married for 5" I wasn't exactly lying I just wasn't telling her the whole truth.

"Wow I can't wait to meet my person" She beamed; her dark blue eyes shined as she spoke.

"Yeah it's nice" I uttered turning back to my computer.

"How did you meet?" She asked. I bit my bottom lip out of both embarrassment and upset. I couldn't believe I had just got myself in to this position. Why was I lying?

"Through friends whilst at school" I told her not tearing my eyes away from the screen. I couldn't bring myself to look at the girl I was lying to, I knew this would probably eventually backfire on me but right now I just didn't have it in me to tell her that I had actually moved thousands of miles away from my husband because he had had an affair and I was too pathetic to stay away from him if we didn't have oceans between us. Thankfully she didn't ask any more questions and we both carried on working away silently at our desks.

How about that chat?

Adam x

I read the text as I had pulled the car to a stop on the driveway. I was so grateful that John and Katrina had allowed me to use their second car to travel to and from work until I could get my own car, I just needed to save for a deposit.

Sure.

I can meet now if you like?

Jayme x

I quickly texted back and began to get out the car and go and get changed but Adam was quick to text back.

How about where we first met?

Adam x

I swiftly locked the car and followed the path into the woodland area towards where me and Adam first met. I had no idea what to expect or why he wanted to meet or what he wanted to talk about. We hadn't spoken since I had turned up at his house to find Beth there, so I wasn't sure what was going to happen. My stomach turned as I grew closer and closer to the spot; I was supposed to meet Adam.

"Hey" I smiled as I walked towards him.

"Hi" He replied awkwardly with his hands in his pockets. We stood in silence for a moment.

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked finally as I grew more and more annoyed at Adams silence. He was the one who had asked me to come here so why wasn't he saying anything?

"You've not spoken to me since you came round the other day" He told me "I wanted to know what's going on" He looked sad.

"Look…Adam…hearing you want to go away and seeing you with Beth just really made things hit home for me that you have a life outside of this little bubble we have created" I explained "I decided to take a step back and leave you to do your thing with Beth" I added.

"I don't want you to take a step back" He told me matter-of-factly.

"I don't think Beth would like it if we continued to spend as much time together as we do" I responded.

"I'm sorry I never told you about Beth" He groaned "We've been on and off for the past couple of years, she moved in a few months back but we had finished things a few days before I met you, she left to go travel with the WWE for a while and we hadn't spoken since" He explained "I really thought we were over but a few days ago I came home she was back wanting to try again"

"Right" I nodded taking deep breaths "I'm happy for you" I put a false smile on my face hoping it looked genuine.

"I don't want anything to come in between our friendship Jay" He pleaded "You're my best friend we connected instantly when we met, and I can't lose you from my life" His eyes pleaded with me as well as his words. It felt good to hear I meant so much to Adam because he meant just as much to me.

"Of course," I smiled. I wasn't sure why, but every part of my body ached as I forced myself not to cry, despite how devastated I still was about Gavin I had grown to care for Adam more than I knew I should care for a friend. I couldn't help myself but over the past month I had begun developing feelings for the man Infront of me and I wasn't quite sure how I was going to be friends with him and see him with Beth. I knew I wasn't ready for any kind of romantic relationship but at the same time I didn't want Adam to be with anyone else as selfish as it sounded. It was painful having confirmation he didn't feel the same way as I did but I knew his happiness was more important, so I plastered a smile on my face and pulled him into a hug.

"Hey, I wanted to tell you face to face but the WWE's doctors have asked me to fly out so they can check me out and see if I can start to wrestle again" He beamed "I fly out tomorrow morning" He announced proudly.

"That's amazing" I grinned knowing this was a good thing. If Adam was away, then I wouldn't have to see him with Beth as often and maybe this could work. I could get over whatever I was feeling toward Adam and still be his friend.

"I forgot to ask how's the new job going?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's good everyone is lovely" I told him "I guess I'm just not sure it's what I want to do forever you know?" I admitted "I've never had this amount of freedom before and I want to do something I enjoy" I explained.

"Like wrestling?" Adam asked with a cheeky grin.

"Oh yeah" I laughed sarcastically "Somehow I don't think that's going to happen" I rolled my eyes.

"You never know kid" he shrugged "You're good and I think you could be great in the WWE" His face was deadly serious; I was completely taken aback.

"Adam…I…" I began to stutter but Adam chuckling interrupted me.

"One step at a time Jay" He laughed pulling me into a tight hug "I've missed you these past few days" He whispered into my hair sending shivers down my spine "I don't think I want a life without you in it" He admitted. My eyes filled with tears as I struggled to keep myself from sobbing out loud, I gripped Adam's top tight and took some deep breaths. "Hey…Hey…" He exclaimed concerned pulling away from me and lowering his head, so it was level with my own "What's wrong?'

"Nothing" I sniffed shaking my head "I'm fine" I smiled pleading him not to probe any further. Thankfully he didn't.

"Ok…I'll walk you home" He smiled, and we began walking back towards the house. I twisted my wedding ring nervously on my finger as we walked "I'm glad we are ok again…I thought you were really upset with me" Adam told me.

"Yeah, me to" I nodded slipping my ring off my finger "I think it's time" I took in a deep breath closing my eyes showing Adam the ring in my hand.

"Are you sure?" He asked, surprise etched across his face.

"Yeah" I nodded as I threw it above my head and into the trees behind me. Despite the pain I was feeling because of how I felt towards Adam, the pain I felt about Gavin was subsiding and I was finally ready to start letting go of the life I used to have with Gavin.

Please let me know what you think :)
