soulmate, pete davidson

033. same ol' mistakes

pete was gone once again, leaving her, for the billionth time, alone in her thoughts. the thoughts that consume her. what you may ask, what is he doing? who's he with? is he okay? did he even love her? does he? still?

all these questions consumed her mind. for him, she isn't friend with her truest friend. because of him, she doubts every motive she has. yet the love for him is infinite, he's good for her. she's good enough. astrid has no idea how much more she deserves. she met who she deserves, and she dumped him.

oh he was so good for her. after two horrible guys she had, finally she found one. maybe he was the one, but how would she know? he's off probably with some other girl who treats him right. to her left night stand sits the gift pete 'got' for her. the necklace laid still with the arrangement of flowers, now wilted. she tried to keep them alive, but mother nature does her own things.

she grabs her phone to scroll through it. messages left untouched from that night. she read through some. more thoughts swarmed her. the necklace wasn't from pete? but he said it was? she scoffed, of course it's from jacob, he was with her when she pointed out how gorgeous it was. how could she be so fucking foolish.

she texts jacob,

ash
i can't believe i didn't
realize it sooner, thank u for
the necklace.

i'm so sorry.

of course u got it for me,
pete would've got me drugs
instead of jewels.

u're amazing.

she's over this same old bullshit. how could he? how could he do this to her? astrid got up from her bed, the t-shirt she wore hung over her shoulders, and went down to her knees. looking in the mirror she smiles knowing she was going to change this never ending cycle.

going into the closet they shared, she pulled out his clothes, shoes, hats, and little items he kept. throwing them in trash bags her phone went off. curious, she goes to see if he responded.

elordi
hey! it's fine, i probably shouldof put a tag on it
saying 'to ash from elordi' lol
how r u?

ash
doing somewhat better, u?

elordi
still with pete?

ash
nope, i'm packing his shit in trash bags
as we text. and i'm waiting for that fucker
to get home so i can throw it outside and
lock-the doors.

elordi
seems fun
can i join?

ash
sure

elordi
great, i'm outside.

looking up from her phone astrid goes to the front door, and sure as shit there's the 6'5 australian. as she opens the door her mouth hangs open, confused. "how the fuck?" he laughs closing the door behind himself. "once i got your text i drove over. i was around the area anyways."

she smiles leading him into the shit show she calls a room. "this is all his shit."

jacob nods, "so are we setting them on fire or?"

"i wish, but no. i have a question."

"shoot" he says as he starts to throw things in the trash bags.

"did i make a mistake?"

"i need more context, blondie"

she sighed throwing herself on the couch by the window. moving the pillow beside her to her lap so he could sit. "getting in an argument with zoë. i miss her, honestly."

he put his arm around her shoulder, they both turned away from the empty wall in-front of them to meet each other's eyes. a pair of blue eyes, the color of the ocean on a warm summers day where the temperature is just right. with another set of brown eyes like milk chocolate, the type you'd eat by the fire place as you tried to get away from the cold weather.

"astrid, it's your decision. you know what you feel and what you want. i cant decide for you." he explained, the moment felt right. she was with the one guy who treated her right, wishing there was a second chance she could grab at the moment. just as she was about to share some late feelings her phone started going off.

wondering what it is she grabbed it looking at the things being sent. pictures of pete with another woman in snl. the chemistry was different. he seemed genuinely happy which was a weird sight to see. pete was dressed as aladdin while model/influencer kim kardashian was princess jasmine.

never in her world would she believe she'd be watching pete kissing kim kardashian. ever.

her mouth was so open a fly could go in it. jacob, peeking from the side of his eye mumbled, "what the fuck."

astrid handed him the phone as she slouched back. "did you already send the breakup text? is that why?"

astrid scoffed, "nope. he told me he was going to see his mother every other weekend for the last few weeks and now i've realized his mother was actually her."

"what are you going to do? set them on fire?"

she quietly laughed, "no. i'll just send these off to his mothers house and leave it to her to give them to him. i'm done, let her deal with his psycho shit."

"his mom?" jacob asks confused on who she's talking about.

she shakes her head no, "kim can."

her phone rings. it's alexa. she answers and alexa immediately starts talking shit about pete. "see, i told you he was just another peice of shit. all men are baby. this is why i told you date jacob but noo" she drags the 'o' in no.

ash shushes her, "he's here."

alexa speaks louder, "let pete hear me," she gets louder, "fuck you." astrid puts her on speaker phone covering her mouth as alexa goes on a rant about how men are horrible.

jacob takes the phone and laughs. "ouch alexa that hurt." alexa stays silent.

"except you jacob!" she says clearly lying through her teeth. "i'll let you two go while i restratigize. bye!"

the two start laughing after the call ends. not really sure why but that it was much needed.
