A month has gone by. We are now in October.

My month in the office has been me just sitting at my desk, typing away and by a sewing machine, sewing and mending pieces. I only get interrupted by Jonathon and Phillip, who are the only two people to dare to talk to me.

The whole office is on high alert about my behaviour and now everyone knows about the break up and the marriage between Edward and Olivia. No one comes near me, they avoid me. I have to go up to them and ask things. If I don't, Jonathon or Phillip talks to them. Everyone just stays out of my way.

Phillip and I are in his office for once; enjoying lunch. As usual I've got rice paper rolls and he has sushi. We are having small talk, but still flirting with each other.

"Swo do ywou evwer want to sewe hwim again?" Phillip says with a mouth full of sushi.

"That's just disgusting!" I tease him. "Weren't you raised to have manners?"

He gulps it down. "I was, but I'm hungry."

"Oh right..." I nod at him.

"So tell me. Do you ever want to see him again?"

Him. Him is Edward Scott. A man I vow never to see again in my life.

"I don't want to ever see him again. I think we are done talking and done with any friendship. I can never forgive him for what he did to me..."

"Do you want a bite of my sushi?" He randomly asks.

"No... I like my rice paper rolls!" I reply laughing at him. "That was a quick change in topic."

"Yeah, well, you look like you didn't want to talk about it..." He nods and then takes another bite of his sushi.

My partnership with Phillip has now fully turned into a friendship. We talk and hang out loads in my office, the occasional sleepover in my office or at my place. Since we first met, our whole persona of each other has changed and we get along. No fighting, no arguing. It's just two people finally figuring out how to work together.

Until today...

It's mid to late October. I'm sitting at my desk, drawing and planning new designs; and I hear Phillip and Jonathon arguing outside my office door. I slowly get up, frustrated that they are distracting me and place my ear to the door.

"Did you invite him?" Jonathon hisses at Phillip.

"Yeah..." Phillip lets out.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He yells back. "She is going to freaking kill you!"

I take a step forward and open the door. Phillip and Jonathon snap their heads towards me.

"Why am I going to kill Phillip?" I ask, crossing my arms and feeling curious.

"Isla..." Phillip takes a step forward towards me.

"You better fucking tell her!" Jonathon yells back at him.

"Tell me what?" I question.

They look at me; Phillip starts to open his mouth but doesn't let anything else out. Jonathon moves his head and nods down the hall. I look passed them, but see nothing and then I start to walk towards the reception desk. I start to walk passed the conference room and I turn my head and see through the glass. The one person who I didn't ever want to see again in my life was sitting in there, drinking a glass of water; Edward Scott

"Who the hell invited him?" I hissed back, but knowing the answer already.

"Isla..." Phillip walks up to me, places his hand on my arm to confront me. I push him away. "I'm sorry... I thought you would want to talk to him..."

I turn my head away from him, my tears starts to roll down my checks. I open up the conference door and walk in. I slam the door behind me to stop Jonathon or Phillip from getting in.

"What do you want?" I choke out.

"Isla, can we talk?" Edward stands up. I don't move.

"I think we have done all the talking Edward!" I hiss back at him. I don't look at him; I don't want to even look at him.

"Isla I'm sorry..."

"Sorry for what Edward?" My breathing is heavy now. "Sorry for humiliating me, sorry for embarrassing me, sorry for marring my best friend, sorry for the whole entire pain and heart ache you coursed me?" I take a breather. "There is a lot for you to be sorry about Edward!"

Edward walks up to me and tries to touch me. I pull away.

"Don't you dare touch me!" I yell back at him. My hands were trembling, my body was shaking. But I needed to know something. "Did you ever love me?"

Edward looked up at me and I saw in his eyes the answer.

"I did, once..." He slowly, "But I lost the love that I once had for you..."

A tear dropped from my eyes. Edward moved over and touched my face. I flinched as first, but he wiped the tear away. "Then why did you propose to me? Why did you put me through so much pain?"

"I didn't want to hurt you..."

"But you fucking clearly hurt me by screwing my best friend!" I yelled back at him.

"Oh well, I am sorry Isla, I should have told you that I was in love with her and not you!" He yelled back at me.

I noticed the sarcasm in that answer and scoffed at him. "I should have known..." I looked away, "You've been in love with my best friend since high school. You only dated me because I asked you. You made me happy, but I clearly didn't make you happy!"

"I loved you..."

"Loved... Past tense, but you really were never in love with me Edward were you?"

"No, no I wasn't. You were there for me and I wanted to be loved by someone, but it wasn't you I wanted to be loved by, it was Olivia!"

My heart broke. I blinked at him. I move away from him. "I don't want to talk to you; I don't want you anywhere near me. I don't want to see you again. Do you hear me?"

I warn him off and start to walk to the door. I grip the handle and then he grabs my wrist. He pulls me in close and I slap his face. He now has a red palm print in his cheek.

"You've already coursed me another heart ache and pain. So just leave me alone!" I storm out of the conference room and find Phillip standing there. I stare at him, glaring at him.

"Isla..."

"DON'T YOU DARE!" I yell back, loudly at him. "You know... You knew how much I didn't want to see him. And yet you still called him..." I was sobbing now. My mouth could only just get the words out. "You have no fucking idea what you just did to me Phillip! Whatever this... Us... Is, it's over and I don't want your friendship anymore!" I choke the last words out. My voice is strained and I'm in pain.

Phillip moves towards me in shock. I let out sobs and the tears still roll down my cheek. I took a step back away from him, push him out of my way and run towards my office door. I slam the office door hard and I do what every girl does. I fall up against the door, cuddle my knees and cry. I just cry and cry and cry.

I was hurt in more ways than one.
