Following The Stars (UNDER MAJOR CONSTRUCTION!)

Chapter Nineteen

It's the day before Homecoming and I'm freaking out. Today is Thursday, I'm suppose to have everything ready for tomorrow. I haven't even got my dress to wear! This is an absolute disaster.

I look out of my window to see Jennifer. She's talking to Tomas! What the fudge is she doing?!?! Why is she here?!? I can see that she tries to keep her fingers entwined with his, but he keeps letting go, and taking a step backwards. I open my window just a hair, I can now hear them.

"Sooo... Tomas are you ready to go to homecoming together?" She purrs.

"Jennifer could you leave me alone. I'm dating Mia, and that won't change at all. So get out if here. Oh and I'm going to homecoming with Mia. So bye." He tries to walk away but she pulls him back.

"But you like don't really love her do you?" She's way too close to him for my liking.

"Yes I love her, now this is none of your business." He shoves her off him.

I don't see it but before I know it Jennifer sticks a bony arm out and pulls Tomas to her. Her lips crash into his and kisses him hard. He tries to pull away but Jennifer has a death grip on Tomas. I can see his hands wounding around her small waist.

I start to tear up. How could she do this to me? How could he do this to me? Why is he kissing her?

I quickly run down to the door, and start to make my way to them. Fury burns up inside of me.

"JENNIFER WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!?!" I'm so pissed. I can feel my make up running and my hair is in a messy bun.

They spring apart quickly and she gives me a smirk. Tomas starts to explain, but I cut him off.

"Tomas what are you doing huh? I thought I'm your girlfriend? What a-" I'm cut off by Jennifer.

"Well haha I guess I'm his girlfriend now, so could you leave, I have some important business to finish." She starts to kiss him again.

"You know what Tomas? Just forget it, I'm not going to homecoming, and I'm not your girlfriend any more. Have fun being dumped right before homecoming." I say harshly not regretting anything.

But I'm hurt so it's okay. He hurt me bad. I can feel more tears dripping down my face. He has completely shattered my heart.

"Mia, wait." He pulls my arm.

I yank my arm away from him. "Tomas, just forget it. I can't be with someone that cheats on me or makes me their second choice. Have a good life. We're over. Bye." I walk up to my house and slam the door as hard as I can.

I slide down to the floor crying my heart out. How could he? Why would he? But I thought he loved me. I actually believed him when he said that he loved me. I'm such an idiot.

My phone starts to ring. It's Tomas. Oh I'm not going to pick it up. I throw my phone across the room and it hits the wall. It rings and rings again. It finally stops and the voicemail clicks in.

"Mia please please please pick up your phone please. I'm sorry, but can you pick up your phone. Let me explain this to you. Mia please." My phone turns off.

I'm not going to pick up the phone, ever. He hurt me, now I'm going to do the same. I'm hurting him by not talking to him, and not letting him explain it to me.

I hear my doorbell ring.

"Hey Mia open the door."

It's Tomas.

The doorbell rings again and again.

Thank god that my parents aren't home. They would make me open the door for him.

"Mia please hear me out." He starts to pound on the door.

I start to sob and more tears start it come down. My sleeves are completely wet, and there is some mascara on my sleeves.

"Mia are you okay? Please let me in." His voice is soft and worried.

I make my way to my room, and get on to my bed. I pull my pillow to my chest and it's starts to soak up my tears. I stay there a while, trying to slow my tears, but it's useless.

I hear a tap on my window sill. I see Tomas trying to open my window.

"Mia please open the window. Please hear me out." He starts to slip.

"Mia please open the window. I'm slipping. I really don't want to fall in to the swimming pool." He sounds scared.

"Well you should if thought of that before you decided to climb up here." I say sharply.

I turn my back to him. I want to open it for him, because I don't want him to fall, but the other part of me is telling me to just leave him. He broke my heart, and I'm not okay with it.

"Mia please. I'm begging you. Please open the window."

Tomas' POV

Jennifer pounds my door screaming at me to open the door.

"What the frick do you want Jennifer?!?" Why can't she leave me alone.

"I'm your fricking girlfriend what do you expect!" She yells back at me.

"I'm not your boyfriend. So get the hell out of here!" Why can't she leave me alone I'm with Mia.

"Whatever.... Sooo... Tomas are you ready to go to homecoming together?" She purrs.

I start to calm down and reply like a calm human being "Jennifer could you leave me alone. I'm dating Mia, and that won't change at all. So get out if here. Oh and I'm going to homecoming with Mia. So bye." I try to push her away.

"But you like don't really love her do you?" She's way too close to me right now.

"Yes I love her, now this is none of your business." I shove her off with full force.

Jennifer pulls me into her and starts to kiss me. I try to pull away but she's has me on a death grip. I start to fall for kiss because it reminds me of our kisses we had before. I start to wound my arms around her small waist.

I begin to hear loud footsteps coming toward us.

"JENNIFER WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!?!" We both pull away.

OH my god, Mia is here.

And she just saw me kiss Jennifer.

I'm toast.

"Tomas what are you doing huh? I thought I'm your girlfriend? What a-" Shes cut off by Jennifer.

"Well haha I guess I'm his girlfriend now, so could you leave, I have some important business to finish." She starts to kiss me again.

She tastes like sadness, like nothing positive, just nothing.

"You know what Tomas? Just forget it, I'm not going to homecoming, and I'm not your girlfriend any more. Have fun with Jennifer." She says it harshly. I can see the hurt in her beautiful face.

My heart breaks. She isn't going to homecoming with me.

"Mia, wait." I pull her arm.

She flinches then yanks my arm away from me with a huge amount of force. "Tomas, just forget it. We're over. I can't be with someone that cheats on me or makes me their second choice. Have a good life. Bye." She walks up to her house and slams the door really hard, the sound bounces off each house.

My heart breaks. She just broke up with me. I feel like, I've just been stabbed through my heart. It's painful.

God damn, what in the hell is wrong with Jennifer? Why the fudge is she so freaking clingy?!?

Why couldn't Jennifer just leave me alone? I wouldn't have this problem. I wouldn't have hurt Mia. I wouldn't have been dumped by Mia. I wouldn't of had my heart broken. I would still go to homecoming with Mia. I would of been happy, not stressing. I would of been talking to Mia right now.

This is all your fault Jennifer.

And now your gonna pay.

Big time.
