COMPLICATED

20.Heartbreak.

Its already midnight and the party is at its climax. Almost everybody is drank. Some of them are dancing, others are making out on the couch.

Kassie's house looks like a mess, someone just puked on the staircase and I make a long step to avoid stepping on the puke.

I'm looking for Danny and I can't seem to find her anywhere,  I head yo yhe kitchen.

I need to drink some water, I'm so thirsty.

I push the kitchen door open and what i see make my legs grow weak.

Alec has some girl pinned against the wall and she's kissing her like its his last. Her hands are on either sides of his face.“what the...!!” he says when he pulls away.

He turns when he hears the door open and his eyes grows wide.

“ooh no.” he turns to talk to me but I don't give him the chance.

I take three steps back before turning and walking away. Where the hell is Danny,  I need to get out of here.

If I look at him once more or at the bitch again, someone might die.

The anger and pain ridding through me is too much that I can't breath. Tears are clouding my vision and I straggle to get out of the house. I feel like smashing something at the wall.

I step out of the house and I wipe the tears trickling down my cheeks grudgily.

I take the first two steps at kassie's pouch and before I head to the parking lot. “baby.” Alec calls from behind me and I turn fully.

“Don't baby me.” I say pushing him hard that he reels back. “and stay the fuck away from me.”

I turn to walk away but he holds my hand,  “wait I can explain.”

“no you can't,  I just saw everything myself. It was pretty much self explanatory , Alec.” I wipe the tears filling my eyes again with the back of my hand. “why would you do this to me?”

“I'm sorry okay.” he trys explaining. “she...”

“She what? Huh? ” I cut him midsentence “she fucking had her tongue down your throat.”

“you know that i can never cheat on you.” he looks so sorry and confused. His sad face makes me want to forgive him but I just can't; not with the splitting image of them kissing.

The image comes back in my head and I angrily hit him on his chest with my both hands.“I hate you.”

He doesn't fight back instead he holds my hands in his and he pulls me in for a hug. I try pushibg him away but my strength goes in vain, he's too strong for me to push him away and I break down in his chest.

He keeps holding me tightly, when he losens his hands I take the chance to push him away “don't come any close to me.” and I walk into the house.

I stamble inside my perce looking for my phone.

I need to call Danny,  I already have her saved in speed dial.

My heart grows heavier when she sends me to voice mail. I drop the phone back into my perce and I push my way around people,  maybe if I have something strong I'll be able to numb the pain in my heart alittle so I make my way to the kitchen.

“hey easy.” a familiar voice says when I hit someone mascular but I didn't care to apologize and I raise my eyes to look at him.

“Jay?” I didn't expect to see him at the party.

His eyes narrow seriously when he sees my tear striken face. “are you okay? ”

“yeah i'm okay. ” I try wiping the tears that are drying up on my cheeks.

“you've been crying” he observes “and people dont just cry for no reason Gabby. What happened?”

“its nothing.” I don't need to tell him. It won't change anything. “can you do me a favour though?”

“yeah anything.”

“can you drive me hope. I'm not feeling so well and my sister is nowhere to be seen.”

“sure. Come with me.” he places his hand at the small of my back as he leads me outside.

Alec is not at the front of the house where I left him. His car is not at the parking lot either.

Jay covers his jacket over my shoulders and we walk to his car in silence. I slide shotgun when he holds the door for me.

I blankly stare ouside the window feeling so sorry for myself for letting myself fall for him this hard that my heart feels like its being squezzed allover again.

“so..are you going to tell me what happened?” he asks once we hit the freeway bringing my back to earth.

“not now.” it comes as a whisper. “I'm just exhausted.”

I'm so tired of all the crying and I just want to go home and sleep. I eye the dashboard and its 4 in the morning. I'll only get to sleep for a few hours before going to the restaurant.

“If someone did this to you,  I'm so going to kill them.” he says taking a turn just near our apartment.

“you are not going to kill anyone.”

“so someone did this to you.” he concludes “is it Alec?”

“can we not talk about this right now?”

He doesn't say a word he just clicks and brings the car to a stop.

He makes to help me inside but I nicely decline. “thanks Jay. I'll be okay from here.”

“are you sure?” he asks. “I can tuck you in bed.”

“jay,  I'm noy drunk. I'm just exhausted.” i say pushing the door open. “see you tommorrow at the restaurant.” I tell him kissing him lightly on the cheek.

I go straight to my bedroom,  I need to have a long shower before going to bed.

I throw my purse on the bed and I walk into the bathroom. I open the tap to fill the bathtab with water and I walk to the mirror just above the sink.

My eyes are swollen from all the crying. The mascara is smered allover my eyes and cheeks,  I looks so miserable. I pull the pins holding my hair one by one untill my massive hair flows down on my shoulders.

I turn on the tap on the sink and i bend over to wash my so dirty face.

When I raise my face to look at myself on the mirror,  my eyes meets with the red and scary eyes I've ever seen since I was a kid and I'm legs growls cold and numb againt the floor. “ I'm so fucked.”

“Hello again.” before I react,  he engulfs me with a cloth filled with chloroform.

Why does all the bad things happen on my birthday. Can't someone just celebrate their birthday in peace.

He swings me over his shoulders and my head hungs over his back. Everything goes blurry as the chlorofoam starts to take control over my ststem.

“my life sucks.” I say lazily slipping into unconsciousness and everything goes black.
