Thirty and Single.

Chapter 22.

I took my phone and called Corey but it went to voicemail. How could I be this stupid? I lost a great man just because of someone who I am not even sure if he loves me as much as I love him. Tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Genesis, what's wrong?" I heard Brooklyn asking.

"I am so stupid!" I said angrily.

Brooklyn came close to me "No, don't say that sweetie."

I cried out loud and she pulled me into a hug. "H-He...left me Lyn." I said in sobs.

"Shhhhh." Brooklyn hushed me while patting my back.

"He caught me kissing Colton. He looked so sad, Brooklyn. I made him sad." I said as tears kept rolling down my cheeks.

"Please stop crying. Tomorrow you'll go talk to him. I hope he'll understand." She told me. I don't think he will understand. I just broke a man's heart.

"Go back to the party. I am just gonna go home." I told her.

"I can't leave you alone. I am taking you home." She said.

"Go back to Logan. I'll go home." I told her and started walking not knowing where I was going. I took off the heels because they were killing my legs. I walked barefoot until I stopped in front of my house. I got my keys and opened my door.

I went up to my room and threw myself in bed. I cried until sleep took me. I heard a loud knock from downstairs. I checked my phone and it was around midnight. Maybe it's Corey.

I rushed to get the door and Colton was there. When he saw me he said "Thank God you're fine! I looked all over for you then Brooklyn told me that you left. I was so worried, Green."

"Colton just cut the bullshit! What do you want?" I asked him.

"Green...I have realized that I...that I...really like you and I wanna be with you." He said.

"Like me? Do you?" I asked him, before he said anything I said "You ignored me for a whole goddamn month like I was a stranger to you! And now I was happy with Corey. You came and destroyed my happiness. Are you not the one who said you are not good with relationships? Why now?"

"Green...things change."

"I am tired of how you treat me. One minute you act like you like me and kiss me like I belong to you and the next minute you act like I don't exist!"

"I am so sorry for all that. Green...it's really hard for me but I wanna try it with you."

"So, you are not sure? You just wanna try? Colton, I am not a specimen for an experiment!

"Green...

"You know what? Go and figure out if you really wanna be with me then prove it!" I told him that and banged the door on his face.

The next day I woke up and the first thing I did was going to Corey's house. I met with his mother. "Good morning Charlotte." I said politely.

"Genesis dear! How are you?" She asked.

"Uh...I am fine. Is Corey around? I really wanna talk to him." I told her.

"He went for his run. I am sure he is on his way back. Please come in. Let me make you some coffee." She said and I followed her to the kitchen.

"Is everything okay with you two?" She asked me as she poured some coffee in a mug and added some sugar.

I took a sigh and said "Not really that's why I wanna talk to him."

"Ooh. I hope you kids will sort it out." She said that and gave me the coffee. Immediately after I took a sip of my coffee I saw Corey walking in the kitchen. When he saw me his facial expression changed.

"Corey, look who is here!" Charlotte said excitedly but Corey didn't show any interest. He walked to the fridge and got a bottle of water.

I kept my coffee on the table and begged politely "Corey please can we talk?" He looked at his mother then back to me and said "Ten minutes!" Charlotte said "I'll let you kids talk." Then she left.

I stood up and walked towards him. "Corey I am so sorry." I said politely.

He looked at me with an angry face and said "I don't know why I believed that you love me! I was so stupid for that!"

Tears filled my eyes. "I...I am so sorry Corey. I never meant to hurt you." I said in sobs.

"Did you ever love me at all Genesis? Did you?" He asked me but I didn't say anything.

"I regret wasting my time with you! It's over! Go to him!" He shouted.

"Corey...

"Leave my house right now!"

"Please Corey....

"I said leave Genesis!" He yelled out loud.

I took my purse and left quickly. I have never seen Corey angry like that.

I got in my car and cried so hard then drove to my mother's house. When I got there I found her with Brandon.

"My baby!" She said excitedly when she saw me.

"What is he doing here?" I asked her.

"Is that how you greet your father?" Brandon asked me.

"Father? Where were you 22 years ago?" I asked him but he didn't say anything.

"Darling, please come and have a seat. Let us talk." My mum said politely.

"I am not sitting in the same house with this man! I'll come back when he is gone!" I said that and left.
