He hadn’t meant to go looking, he trusted what Kieran said, he trusted them in general and loved them regardless but the incessant buzzing of their phone was starting to hit his last nerve and attempting to study was pretty much impossible with it. Josh moved across the room and picked up the phone, intending to simply turn the phone on silent but instead being greeted with a text thread that he’d rather not have seen. Josh looked down at the last text sent, you are special. His heart dropped, he was sure of it as his eyes glanced up to the name Dillon.
He sank into the nearest seat, scrolling up through the messages, his heart thumping loudly, almost painfully as he looked through each text back and forth between the two. At one point, Josh wasn’t so sure he would be able to keep down the vomit that threatened to rise, but he did so, fighting the tears that began to build in his eyes. Details about their relationship, a lie that only hit him harder than the so-called harmless flirting. Certain statements were like blows to the stomach, kinda hot, eye fuck, Josh could feel himself growing more and more angry, his jaw clenching tight before he opted for launching the phone across the room, watching it shatter as it bounced off the bedroom door and fell to the floor.
