"I will never let you fall
I'll stand with you forever
Even if saving you
Sends me to heav-"
I blindy reach for my phone on the nightstand next to my bed. "Hello?" I answer sleepily. I keep my eyes closed, knowing the sun shining through my window will only give me a headache.
"Desirae, can you come get me?" the still slightly drunk and definetly hungover voice on the other end asks.
I sigh and shake my head throwing my electric blue comforter off on to my lime green carpet, slowly opening my eyes. "Really your hung over again James?"
"I'm so sorry Desirae. I needed a beer. I wasn't planning on it. I really am sorry."
"Whatever James. I'll be there in 15 minutes. If your not outside waiting, I will leave you as." I hung up without waiting for his answer. I grab a plain white tank top and black Nike running shorts. I slip on my favorite flip flops and head downstairs, only stopping to get my car keys.
I get in my brand new 2010 lime green Aston Martin. A gift for my 16th brithday from my non-existent mother. I turn out of my driveway and head for James, already knowing where he'll be. The closer I get to Travis's house, the more pissed off I get.
I pull up infront of Travis's and see James sitting on the steps, with his head in his hands. "Get your drunk ass in here now James!" I yell at him. James looks up startled, I hardly ever yell.
James gets in and immediatley he says "I'm sorry Dezzy. I really am."
My grip the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white. "Save it James. Its the same story every week. Your sorry, you'll never do it again."
"Dezzy, please. You know I love you. Your my world. Please.." James pleads as I pull into the park, not wanting to drive.
I take a shakey breathy and look at the pond in front of us, tears blur my vision. "Really James? Then tell me this, why'd you cheat?"
He looks at me, bewilderment etched on his face. "Baby, what are you talking about?"
I grab my phone and open it. "On my way to get you I got a text from Maddox. It's a picture of you at Travis's party last night" I whisper tears, streaming down my face. I open the picture and show it to him.
In the picture James is sitting on a couch with a platinum blonde barbie wanna-be on his lap, lip locked in a heavy make-out session. "Desirae, I didn't..I don't."
"Don't say anything James," I interrupt him. "I know this isn't the first time you've cheated. We've been together for almost a year and half now, James. You won't stop drinking and you've cheated numerous times."
"Dezzy, what are you saying?" he asks.
I take a deep shaky breath and look at him, tears still falling. "I'm saying it's over James. I deserver better than this, better than you. Please get out of my car."
"Your making a mistake. You'll come back to me, you always do. I'll be waiting Desirae." he says as he gets out of my car.
The tears fall faster, my shoulders shake with every breath I take. I lay my head on the steering wheel and cry.
I don't know how much time has passed when a knock on my window makes me look up. I stare into the bright sea green eyes of my best friend, Jasper. He smiles sadly at me.
"Hey kid."
"Hey Jasper" i say, my voice hoarse from crying.
"Come on, get out. I'll drive you home." he tells me.
I get out and head to the passenger side. Jasper is the only one I will let drive my car. I look over at him as he gets in. Jaspers tall 6'3", he has golden colored hair, and the brightest sea-green eyes you've ever seen. He's strong and has pretty good sized muscles.. "How'd you know where to find me and that something was wrong?" I ask him.
He smiles at me and says "Well I live next to the jackass and saw him walking home pissed. I knew you'd be at the park because thats where you always go when something goes wrong and your upset."
I smile sadly and lay my head on the window, closing my eyes. A few more tears spill out. I feel Jasper's hand on my shoulder and I look over at him. "Is it over for good?" he asks.
I nod and start crying again. "Yeah it is. He cheated again and tried to lie about it. This time I had proof. Maddox sent me a picture," I pasued and took a deep shaky breath. "He was uh he was at Travis's party sitting on his couch. On James lap was a-another girl" I stutter, my voice catching at the end.
We pull in front of my house and Jasper gets out, walking to my side. He pulls me out of my car and holds me in his arms. I bury my face in his chest and cry. Sobs shake my shoulders. I hear the front door to my house open. "Whats wrong with her?!" I hear a voice yell.
I look up at Jasper as he says "Her asshole of a boyfriend.."
"Ex-boyfriend.." i whisper and close my eyes. I feel Jasper's arms disappear and someone else's replace them. I look up into the same chocolate brown eyes I have, except their my brother's, Cameryn. "Cam" I say.
He smiles softly. "Hey sis. I'm glad I came home."
Hearing my brother's voice and seeing him, makes me cry even more. He picks me up like a baby and carries me inside. Jasper opens the door for him and I feel Cam walking up the stairs. He lays me on my bed and sits on the edge next to me. "What happene?" he asks.
Wordlessly I hand him my phone with the picture open. He takes one look at it and set my phone down. "That little bastard. I swear to God I'll kill him!"
"Cam, please don't do anything stupid.." I whisper.
He looks down at me and smiles sadly. "I won't. I'm just gonna make sure he never hurts you again." Cam tells me as he walks out of my room.
