You opened the door just to see Albert with another guy both naked on your bed.

Yes. I'm cheating.

Albert managed to confess with a strained voice.

Devastated, you ran, and broke up with him.

Months later...

Your common friend, Howard, wanted to meet up with you at a bar, saying he wanted to tell you something important.

Albert never cheated, you know.

Howard said, chugging his beer.

"......Hah. Don't be absurd. I saw it with my own eyes." You muttered, inhaling your own glass.

Howard giggled tipsy, poking your arm.

Oh, but it's all a stunt though. That insecure bastard staged it. He didn't do anything unfaithful.

Your heart stopped.

"W..what are you talking about...?" You whispered.

What I'm sayin' is, Albert never touched the guy, bro thought you deserved better, he wanted the best for you, duh. If I was him I'd- Hey, HEY! Where you goin' bro? The alcohol-!

But you were already gone. Going straight towards Albert's office to confront that idiot. YOUR idiotic ex. Heart pouring with a mix of happiness, relief, exasperation and fondness.

You're NOT going to let his insecure ass get in between your relationship that easily.

Howard sighed as he watched you zoom out of the bar, finishing his booze.

That's the most I can help you Albert...

He muttered.
