The rest of the ride was awkwardly silent until his phone rang. I grab it from the center console, "It's Chuck." I push the accept call button and it automatically connects to the car's bluetooth. "Hey Keegs!" her silky voice radiates through the car and I look at the window so I can roll my eyes. "Hey! Say hi to Troian, you're on speaker," he says grinning at me and putting his free hand on my leg. My whole body shivers the moment he touches me, "Hey Chuck!" I try to sound cheerful but am holding back the tears.

I can hear the disappointment in her voice as she greets me with the same fake happiness, "Where are you guys going?" "We're just going to dinner," Keegan replies smiling at me. "Hey Troi," she says and I wince at her calling me that, "I heard what happened with your wedding, so sad!" I can hear the taunting in her voice, but it's so minimal that only a girl could pick it up. I tear falls down my cheek and I'm glad I put on minimal makeup.

Before anything else can escalate we pull up to the restaurant, "We have to go babe, bye." I step out of the car to let them finish their conversation. My tears fall quicker as he gets out of the car. "Hey, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Why don't you check in," I say before walking away. "Troian!" he calls out as I push the restaurant door open, violently. "Where's the bathroom?" I ask the hostess. "To the left," she says without even looking up from her phone.

I look back to see Keegan catching up and run to the bathroom. I open the door to the girls bathroom and fall to the floor letting the tears silently fall down my face. Why did I let go of Patrick. He loves.. loved me and he was willing to marry me even with all my ugly flaws. Keegan has a girlfriend for goodness sake and he's my best friend. Why would I want to ruin that?! And our relationship would affect the whole cast. Chuck's words may have seemed sweet but when translated into girl talk it was cruel.

I press the familiar name from my contacts looking at the hearts next to his name. "Hey, I made a mistake. Can we talk?"

My ear is pressed on the bathroom door as I listen for Troian's voice. I hear her make a call, "Hey, I made a mistake. Can we talk?" It must be Patrick.

Patrick Ok, what do you want. Did you realize that Keegan wasn't meant for you?
