Revenge

We all want what we ain't got

"Ahh formal is tonight!"

Sarah is clearly excited about the event.

Tonight was the night Charles and I were going to 'do it'. I don't particularly want to call what we are going to do the s word because it's more than that.

I gave him everything but his jacket so far.

The jacket is going to be located in a room on the top floor of the hotel formal is hosted at.

Sarah and I put on our dresses, shoes, and makeup.

After we get completely ready, we get some dinner.

We decide to meet our dates at the formal.

When we arrive at the hotel, we make our way to the reception room.

Sarah immediately finds Blake. I search every square inch of the room; no Charles.

I call him, "hey where are you?" I question.

"I'll meet you in the room, work ran late," he says while music plays in the background. Strange, he must be in his car.

"Okay," I hang up.

Since we couldn't get snow for winter formal, they had smoke machines all over the hotel.

I walk up to the room I booked, 25B. It is top floor, largest room, center at the end of the hallway. It had the best view of all of Miami. It has been featured in various magazines.

I decide not to go in, just wait for Charles.

I suddenly hear a door open from the room neighboring 25B. I hide so I don't seem like a stalker.

What I see is a knife through my chest.

Charles is making out with some brunnette.

I quickly snap a picture.

I have to speak up, "CHARLES!"

He turns around and is surprised and worried as ever.

"It isn't what it looks like!"

"That's what they all say! You may think I'm an idiot, but there isn't enough smoke in my eyes to hide the kinda games you're trying to play," I snap.

He looks surprised. Before he can speak I say, "honey don't you act so surprised, you know exactly what I'm about to say."

"I'm so sorry! She was all over me!" He exclaims.

"No you're not. You cheated. We're done. You're dead to me," I harshly say.

"Why, I made a mistake," he attempts.

"What confuses me was you kissed my lips like you meant it, but honey you aren't that slick," I retort.

"Okay bye," he leaves.

I break down. I call Sarah and ask her to pick me up. I need to get out of here.

Sarah pulls up five minutes later. I get in.

I explain everything.

"Honey, you don't deserve this! He is a fuck nugget who will pay for what he did!"

"Fuck nugget," I tease through the tears.

"Truth."

We keep driving up the highway. It is currently 2 am, and we are in Georgia I think.

Sarah stops to get gas. The gas station is located right next to a Victorias Secret.

We walk over and get clothing to change into. We are still in our dresses and heels, so we just purchase slippers with crewnecks and leggings.

"Where to next?" Sarah asks.

"Keep driving until the road ends. I just need to think."

"Okay."

We kept driving until we see a sign that says "Welcome to New York".

We are near NYC, so we stop for a few hours.

We go to a coffee shop to get some breakfast. We both bought bags of pastries for the ride.

"Let's head home." I declare.

"Okay, chin up buttercup. You'll be okay."

We finally made it home at 3:30 am the next day.

I look at her and say, "why do we all want what we ain't got?"

"I'm not sure, that's too deep for this time of morning."

We both laugh. This is the first time I have laughed since the Charles situation.

School starts, and everyone keeps coming up to me asking me why I "cheated".

I ask Sarah what this is about.

She finds out and tells me that Charles is spreading a rumor about that.

I suddenly remember that I still have the picture.

I send out a text to the whole school with the photo and a caption that says,"who's the real cheater?"

I may act happy, but I'm truly dead on the inside.

My walls are torn down.

My trust is gone.

I'm not me.

Deep chapter, but you know what sucks? When you have a "crush" on someone and they find out. When you find out that they know, you are pounded with the question, "is it going to be awkward now?" Ya feel?

Okay have a lovely night.

Okay.
