Chapter 29- I don't know why

Jade's POV

            I woke up to the sun kissing my face with its' warm rays. I let out a content yawn and snuggled my head further into Will's soft chest. I felt lower onto his stomach, which was also soft.

          Wait. Abs aren't soft.

     I looked up and realized it was just one of the plain white hospital pillows. There was a jagged-edged note neatly placed on it. Maybe he's gone to get coffee, I thought. I frowned at Will's uncharacteristic behaviour. I opened the folded piece of paper. It read:

                   I really do love you, but I'm no good for you.

                 There are too many things I need to figure out.

                 Let me save you the heartache.

                 Goodbye for now.

                Love you forever and always,

                 Will

            I stared at the piece of paper in my hands. I took deep slow breaths as my fingers started to tremble. I smiled a bitter smile. I should have seen this coming. I should have - Gosh I am so stupid. It's just like Will to leave. I don't even know why I'm surprised. We make sweet, passionate love for the first time in a hospital room and then he leaves. Again. Again!

            I crumpled the piece of paper in my hand and threw it onto the floor as I quickly dressed myself. I fixed myself up as best as I could, holding back tears, and then grabbed the crumpled note, unable to leave it behind. I had to get out of there. The nurses gave me quizzical looks as I sped past them, trying to leave last night behind.

            Part of my mind wanted to believe that this was a nightmare and I would wake up in Will's arms and the other part was yelling at me for being so stupid. He got what he wanted and now he's gone, it unsympathetically mocked me. He's a bad boy, what did you expect? This is what bad boys do. I gritted my teeth as I turned on the engine of my pink Lamborghini. I ran a hand through my almost dirty blonde hair, trying to hold back tears that were threatening to fall. Suck it up. Cleo was right all along. You've gotten soft, I scolded myself, wiping away the few tears that had managed to trickle down my cheeks.

           I drove with increasing speed until I was 60km over the speed limit. I soaked in the rush I was getting from breaking the law and let it consume me. It was time to be perfectly bad again. At a red light, I checked my phone and saw 50 missed calls and 20 new messages. The calls were mostly from my dad and I even had a few from Kristen. I'm pretty sure they left voice messages screaming at me, so I decided to ignore that. I scrolled through the "Where are you texts?" and rolled my eyes. I had just clicked on Cleo's name when the light turned green. Fuck it, I thought, putting the phone to my ear as I sped through the intersection.

            "Jade! Where have you been? Everyone's worried!" Cleo exclaimed.

           "Calm down, I was... out. I'll be home in 15. Get ready, we're going out," I calmly replied.
