Bleeding Heart 💔

CHAPTER FOUR

I straightened my clothes and said a sincere thank you to the man. It would have been a very embarrassing moment for me if he hadn't held me from falling. I had to look for Lilly. She had somehow vanished while I was busy dancing my sorrows away. I went in search of her and was headed towards the bar when Sonia stopped me with a fake smile plastered on her face. How convenient.

"Hi! I didn't know you'll be here."
"What do you want Sonia?"
"Oh please! Who would want something from a person like you?"
"Then you might as well move out of my way!" I made to walk past her but she rudely grabbed my arm and dragged me back with a horrible frown etched on her develish face and spoke to me in a very low and threatening tone.

"Now listen very attentively to me Sarah. I'm sure you saw Jason propose to me just now. We're getting married very soon. Don't try to be the bitter ex girlfriend and ruin it else I'll make life very unbearable for you." She walked away after her very stupid and unnecessary warning.

I couldn't help the angry laugh that escaped my lips. Was she even serious? Bitter ex girlfriend? I walked over to the bar and found Lilly asleep. Wow! How much did she drink exactly?! Good thing I came with my car. Lilly wouldn't wake up no matter how hard I tried to wake her up and I didn't know where she lived so I just took her to my place and put her in the guest room so she could sleep well. I managed to change her clothes and let her borrow one of my night wears. No sooner had I finished with her did my phone ring and Jason's name appeared on the screen. Why In God's name was he calling me?!

I answered just out of curiosity of course. My mom always said she prays my curiosity won't put me in harm's way. "Did you dial a wrong number Jason?" There was a pause for a few seconds before Jason spoke up. "Listen Sarah, I know you feel like I'm the devil right now. And the reason I'm calling you is to tell you that you'll see a more develish side of me if you ever lay a finger on Sonia again. How dare you push her down and tell her that I'll never be happy with her?! What right do you have Sarah? You are nothing to me or even your family! This is the last time I'll warn you!"

The call ended before I had the chance to process everything he said. I couldn't prevent the tears that escaped my eyes. When did I push Sonia or even say such words to her? Did he really value her that much to believe everything that comes out of her mouth? We were together for four years and yet he didn't even know the things I was capable of? I was angry! So angry I knew I wouldn't get any sleep without getting myself very drunk.

I knew my sister wasn't very nice to me but I never thought she could hurt me this much and not feel a pang of guilt. Let's not even talk about my parents. They supported her every decision even if it was such a thing as betrayal. I had taken Jason to them and introduced him as my boyfriend. They knew how much I loved and adored him and yet they gave support to Sonia to marry him and expect me to understand.

Wow! I didn't realize how alone I was in this world until now.  Nice one universe, nice one. I don't know how much I drank or how long I sat there in the living room crying but somehow I had slept off. I believe that was God's way of easing my pain for the night.
