Wistful

Chapter 34 - You're Gross

(Kadynce's POV)

(Flashback to 6 1/2 Years Ago)

I wiped my tears and took a deep breath. "Jake, I'll go with you."

"Huh?" Jake was confused on the other end. "Kadynce, what's wrong? What happened?"

I knew he would ask this, but I didn't want to explain.

I willed myself not to cry but I could continue to feel that lump rising in the back of my throat as I thought about forming the words to tell Jake what Nixon did to me.

"Nixon, he cheated on with Ms. Daniels." I cried, now sobbing. "I found them, just now."

Jake gasped in disbelief. "What?"

I sobbed again, my chest burning in agony. "He tried to deny it, which only made it worse." I could feel myself falling apart. "I hate him. I hate him so much and I never want to see him again."

"I'm leaving tomorrow night." Jake reminded me.

He didn't ask me if I wanted to go with him, he told me that he was leaving for school before the summer was over. It was a coincidence that we were accepted into the same school. I didn't even know that we applied to the same school until we were talking about it.

Jake has a home waiting for him in North Carolina that he inherited from his grandfather who passed away a year ago.

I told him that I didn't know what school I wanted to attend, but I would probably stay somewhere close to Nixon. That was before, now I want to get as far away from him as I can.

"I'll be ready." I told him before I hung up with him and pulled off.

I headed straight home and once I was inside, I decided to start packing. Thankfully, I didn't run into anyone on my way upstairs because I didn't have the heart to speak to anyone, let alone explain what's wrong.

In the middle of packing, I ripped off the necklace Nixon gave me that represented his love for me, he said that we would be together to infinity as the necklace pendant was a pink diamond infinity sign. I also ripped off the bracelet he got me for my birthday last year, its many charms pulled on my heartstrings; a pink diamond princess crown, silver K, small diamond heart, silver key, and a black diamond N. He would give me these charms at random times with no special occasion.

He spoiled me.

I really thought he loved me just as much as I loved-- love him but he doesn't. Who knows how long he has been screwing Ms. Daniels behind my back...?

I just hate that I have invested so much time and feelings into someone who vowed to never hurt me.

I trusted him with everything in me.

The last piece of jewelry I pulled off was the promise ring he gave me; it was a simple pink diamond ring that he gave me before junior year, which was the same year he started college. At that moment, he promised that he would always be there for me, he would love me, and always be faithful to me.

I was sick to my stomach as I laid them in my jewelry box before putting my jewelry box at the top of my closet.

I went back to packing as I was only filling two big suitcases with things that I couldn't live without. I had plans to go shopping for anything else I need once I get to North Carolina. Plus, I'm pregnant, before I know it, I won't be able to fit any of it.

"Rabbit, what are you doing?" Daddy stood in my doorway, he looked concerned as he stepped into my room, looking around at my opened suitcases. I continued to look up at him but dropped my head as he began to search my eyes. "Have you been crying?" He rushed to me.
