Meant to be

Chapter 21

I woke up the next day and for a few seconds there I didn't remember last night's events. And then it hit me like a brick in the face along with tears, a puffy face and as I had predicted...a headache.

I didn't want to get up because I knew what was waiting for me if I did but I didn't want to pick up my phone either because I knew what was waiting for me in that little box. I didn't want to pick up my book because I was going to cry even more since I was reading a romance novel.

So I opted for the easiest solution that I could come up with that moment. I groaned and covered my self up with my comforter.

I tried to close my eyes but my mind took me back to the moment of The Kiss. Something I thought could only happen in books and in movies. But this isn't a book, this is my life, my sucky life. Just when I thought everything was going great. Ha! Pff sure.
That's what happens when you fall for the guy who bullied you.

Maybe he went all Hardin from "After" on me and this was all a dare he made with his friends. Or maybe he got payed by some girl so she could go out with my brother like Patrick on "10 Things I hate about you".

Who am I kidding. I'm just trying to make it less painful. My phone ringing stops my intrusive thoughts. I don't look at who the caller is, thinking it could be my mother or perhaps Viv to tell me about what happened with Noah.
"Hello?" I answer sitting up and drying my tears.
"Mary...Mary hi thank god". Answered a voice that I didn't want to hear.

Fuck. Mental note to self, check the ID caller before picking up.
"I don't want to talk to you". I pulled the phone away from my ear and hung up.

I closed my eyes letting a few tears drop and I got to go asses the situation in my face.

I showered and decided to get some breakfast since I was a little hungry. I made a cheese omelet and drank a warm delicious cup of coffee. How I love coffee. I guess my only true love that will never ever hurt me will be coffee and books.

I went to the living room to have my breakfast to watch Bluey to see if that could cheer me up a little.

After breakfast I washed my dishes and lay down on the couch and before I knew it I was falling asleep.

-----------------------
I was woken up by my phone ringing again but this time I did check the caller ID. It was Viv.

"Maryyy you won't believe what a night I had". Answered a very happy Viv.
Trying to sound like everything was fine I answered on what I thought was a cheery tone.
"Omgg tell me everything". I said even with a small fake smile on my face.

Viv told me how she had left the party with Noah and who was the definition of a Great Greek God, I laughed lightly at her comment and continued to ramble on while my phone wouldn't stop ringing with messaged and calls from Thompson.

I made what I considered a healthy decision for my mental health and blocked him with all the pain in my heart and cried softly while I heard how happy my friend was.
"And then he-Mary? Are you ok sweetheart?". Viv sounded genuinely concerned.
"Yeah sure I'm fine". I tried to sound as ok as I possibly could.
"No you're not, what happened. You know you can tell me everything, and before you say it, no, it won't spoil who happy I feel. I'm your friend and that's what friends are for. So, who do we kill?" That last bit made me laugh and told her everything about last night up until this very moment when I blocked him.
"Fucking asshole dickhead son of a bitch I'll chop his balls off and feed them to the lions and I'll curse him". I chucked lightly. I love her so much.
"Thanks Viv, but you don't have to curse him, I already did". I laughed a little harder this time.
"I'm so sorry girl, you don't deserve something like this to happen to you. You are a wonderful, intelligent woman and you deserve great stuff and I'm sure you'll get them someday sooner than you think". She made me cry even harder.
"Thank you. Ugh what would it be of me without you". I said looking up to the ceiling.

We kept talking and after a while we hung up.

-----------------------
The rest of my day went by as "normal" in the sense that I made sure my family wasn't going to find out what had exactly happened. I acted as normal as posible. But my mom figured it out. Moms always do.

"What happened honey?" She asked while my brother was playing video games and my dad was asleep.
"Mommy hug me". I said starting to cry and telling her everything.
"Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry that happened to you". She said still hugging me.

She was such a great mom, I seriously don't know where I would be without her help in moments like this.

"Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of toads to find your prince". My mom said
"The problem is that I fell in love with him mommy. I love him". I said crying even harder.
She mumbled some words of reassurance and some "there, theres" until I calmed down.

She tried to distract me by asking me if I wanted to bake some oatmeal cookies (my favorite) and watch "Modern Family", I of course agreed and could actually get my mind off of my problems for a few hours with my mom.

This woman is the best mom in the whole entire world I'm telling ya'. I love her so, so much.
