Brittany's POV:
"Hey so I got suspended from my job for a week", I told Chelsea over the phone as I walked to my car after work.
"Wow, now you want to be a rebel, you're a couple of years too late", she laughed.
"It was Emma's fault, she pissed me off", I unlocked the car.
"What did the sneaky batch did this time?"
"She outwardly told me she slept with Andrew and showed me proof", I sighed.
"I knew it, I knew he was cheating", she stated, "do you need me to come over?" She offered.
"No, I'll be okay", I assured her, "its Friday night, I'm sure your boyfriend probably set up a date for you."
"He did, it's our new routine on a Friday night."
"See."
"But if you need me I'll drop everything and come over."
"You are the best friend anyone can ask for."
"Just tell me the jerk's address, I'll give him a piece of my mind."
"Tempting, but you can't go to jail, you wouldn't last a few hours."
"You know me so well, I got to go get ready for that date, see you tomorrow", she said.
"Bye", I hung up.
I drove home which was about ten minutes from the building.
When I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Andrew by my door with a bouquet of roses.
"What are you doing here?" I demanded.
"Baby I am so sorry, I wasn't thi-"
"Just stop, you dumped me remember, also I know about you and Emma", I added pushing past him to unlock the door.
"She doesn't mean anything to me, I was drunk."
"Leave Andrew, you made your choice", I open my door.
"Please Brittany", he pleaded, "give me another chance."
"No", I step inside the apartment and shut the door in his face.
"I love you Brittany just remember that!" He shouted as I leaned against the door and started to cry.
He hurt me so much.

The next day I got up and decided to spend the weekend at my parent's place, spend some time with Blair. I texted Chelsea and told her I'll be back in New York so we'll meet there to go see Zack and convince him for us to hit a club tonight.
I packed my bag and other things I'll need then took a bath and changed into some comfortable clothing.
As I opened the door about to leave I saw a basket full of my favorite snacks and skin products on the floor in front of me.
I sighed, there was a note.
'I'll give you all the time you need, but just know I love you and I'm sorry.'
I scoffed, he got some nerve.
I took the basket inside and put all the snacks in my bag then left, locking the door behind me.
"Brittany!" Blair shrieked when she answered the door.
"Hey Blair", I smiled.
"What are you doing here?"
"Came to spend the weekend, I had a bad two days", I sighed.
"Is it Andrew?" She asked and I nodded.
"He was a jerk to you anyway", she let me in, "mom and dad are out so it'll be just the three of us."
"Three."
"Heyo", Landon smiled walking down the stairs.
"Dad didn't want to bother you to watch me this weekend so he asked Landon to keep me company", she explained.
"Just like that?" I frowned.
"He trusts me, but you should call him and tell him you're here so he wouldn't be calling every two hours to check up on us", Landon chuckled.
"How is high school?" I asked.
"It's going great so far, I made the soccer team", Landon said proudly.
"And girls are after him too", Blair rolled her eyes.
"Don't worry I only got eyes for you", he flirted with her and she blushed.
"Just date already", I sighed as I go up the stairs.
A couple of hours later
"Hey Brit, Zack is at home if you want to go see him", Landon told me as I am watching a movie on Netflix.
"I'll go when Chelsea gets here."
"Don't you want to have private time with him? I can call him over here if you want", he offered.
"It's okay, I'll go see him myself. Where's Blair?"
"She's getting ready, we're going to the mall with a few friends then crash at my place tonight if you don't mind", he answered.
"Not at all, will your parents be home?"
"Yeah my mom, she practically watches Blair when your parents are out during the week anyway", he shrugged.
I nodded and paused the movie, looked like I'll be paying an old friend a visit.

"Well hello there ex fake girlfriend", Zack smirked when he opened the door.
"Hello Zachary, playboy bachelor", I said.
"Look how you have changed, puberty hit you late", he joked.
"I see you pick up lines are still lame", I retorted.
"Ouch muffin, you shouldn't treat the man of your dreams that way", he winked.
I rolled my eyes, "just hug me."
He grinned and hugged me tightly and let me inside the house.
"Brittany, is that you?" Mrs. Grant asked from the kitchen.
"Yes it's me", I replied.
She came and hugged me, "it's been so long since I haven't seen you, well with Zachary it's been longer", she laughed.
"Mom I call you every weekend", Zack sighed.
"I'm making muffins, do you want?" She offered.
"We're fine mom, go rest", Zack kissed her forehead.
"If you change your mind they are in cover on the counter", she told us and Zack led me toward the back of the house.
"So how are things?" He asked me.
"Not so great, my boyfriend of almost three years dumped me the night before", I sigh.
He frowned, "sorry to hear that, your first real boyfriend turned out to be a jerk."
"He's my second boyfriend", I shrugged.
"Well after I moved to Los Angles I only had one night stands", he chuckled.
"As expected", I retorted.
"This woman I dated, well we didn't last long", he shrugged.
"Yeah I know, only three months it was all over the news", I stated.
"That's the sad part of being famous, no privacy what so ever", he sighed, "sometimes I come back home just to get away from it all."
"It's New York, no way better here", I pointed out.
"But at least there's no camera following me around for once", we sat in the gazebo.
"When last have you talked to Jen and Andy?"
"Over a month", he replied.
"Guess everyone's busy with adult life", I shrugged.
"Andy did tell me they were flying over for Thanksgiving this year though", he added.
"Really? I wonder why Jen didn't tell me", I frowned.
"Maybe she wanted to surprise you, how's Chelsea? Seeing that both of you decided to stick around on this side of the states."
"She's good, she'll be coming over later actually to ask you something."
"What's that?"
"I can't tell you", I grinned and he groaned.
"You're such a tease."
"You suppose to know this about me a long time", we laughed.
"Look how cute you two are together", Mrs. Grant swooned as she brought two glasses of juice for us, "I wish you two stayed together when you were in high school."
"Mom we been over this", Zack sighed.
"I'm serious, Brittany are you still with the Aaron guy?" She asked.
"His name is Andrew and no I am not", I replied.
"Aha you see, she's single", she grinned.
"Mom", Zack sighed.
"Okay, I'll leave", she smirked.
"So how long you staying in New York for?" I asked as I picked up the glass.
"About a week tops, got some business to do plus my father wanted me around for the upcoming week", he shrugged, "how's Brooklyn?"
"Quiet, I mostly come to New York to shop", I laughed.
"As expected with Chelsea of course", he confirmed and I nodded.
"Are your siblings dating each other yet?" I asked.
"Maybe in secret and we don't know anything about it", he smirked.
"Unlike us who practically faked the whole thing", I chuckled.
"But we both got something out of it, you got protection from the bullies and I got Kayla off my back, speaking about Kayla, I saw her in Los Angles some months back, she's a model now", Zack informed me.
"Not surprisingly, did she try to sleep with you?"
"When is she not trying to?" He groaned, "took me a few days to get her off my back and stop calling me."
I laughed, "clingy ex."
My phone rang and I watched the screen, I rolled my eyes and declined the call.
"Your ex I presume", Zack looked at with an eyebrow raised.
"Yeah, did you this morning he left a basket at my door?" I sighed.
"Aww, he so loves you muffin", he grinned and I glared at him.
"Well he dumped me and cheated as well, I'm not getting back with him", I scoffed.
"Double ouch."
"Yeah so I got suspected from my job for a week", I added.
"Wow you're on a roll girl, although you chose the wrong time to be rebellious", he stated.
"I know."
My phone rang again, it was him.
"Answer it", Zack told me.
"Are you crazy? I don't want to talk to him."
"Then I will do it", he took the phone, "hello?"
"That's none of your concern", he replied.
"She's safe and fine."
"Who am I? Well I happened to be Zachary Grant aka Brittany's ex-boyfriend, she was so good in bed back in the days", I slapped his arm and he grinned at me.
"Aw, don't be jealous she didn't want to go to bed with you, she's a tough nut to c***k but I managed to", he winked at me and I rolled my eyes.
"Do you want to talk to her?"
"No? Wasn't that why you were calling?"
"There's no need to be jealous, you're the one who cheated and dumped her, luckily I came back to New York in time."
He hung up.
"What the heck was that?!" I shrieked.
"What? I did you a favor, now he'll be leaving you alone", he shrugged.
"Thanks for the help", I muttered.
"Your welcome darling", he winked.
He yawned, "I'm going to take a nap, you'll call me when Chelsea arrive", he got up and went inside.
My phone rang, it was Chelsea.
I answered, "I'll be over at Zack's in two hours", she said and hung up.
