I hear a car coming and hope my Lyft is early. Nope, not that lucky. It looks like one of Jaxon's cars and I hurry and hide behind a tall bushy tree looking thing, in front of this huge Victorian looking home. I sneak a peek while the car drives by and it was Jaxon, no Olivia, she must have stayed behind. I just hope that these people don't think I am a burglar or some weird creeper. Shortly after Jaxon's car passes by, I see my Lyft driver. I flag him down and jump in the back seat. "Please hurry and get out of here," I was able to get out in between sobs.
At this point I am a sobbing hot mess. Olivia and Jaxon... He really cheated on me... And with Olivia of all women. One argument is all it took for him to move on. This is all my fault! Why did I allow myself to open my heart! Is this the first time they hooked up? Was he playing me this whole time, and why? All these questions swirling around in my head. Questions I will never get any answers to. I look up to see the Lyft driver looking at me with pity through the rear view mirror. I quickly look down and shake my head.
"Are you okay Miss" the driver asks cautiously.
"Y..y..yes, th...thank you." I finally stutter out. I don't want to talk right now and I'm grateful that the driver doesn't ask or say anything else for the rest of the ride home. I hurriedly get out of the car and rush into my apartment building. I go straight to my room and lock myself in. I can't take off my dress fast enough and crawl into my bed. I don't have the energy to change into my PJ's. I curl up like a rollie pollie under my comforter and cry into my pillow until I finally fall asleep.
I wake up in the middle of the night with stomach pains and nausea, I jump up out of bed and run to the bathroom. I sit there throwing up for Lord knows how long and the water works start again. I don't have anything else in my stomach, I pray that this nausea stops already. My eyes and nose hurt from rubbing them. My stomach finally eases up enough to move away from the toilet. I stand there, naked in front of my bathroom mirror with my hair in disarray, and my face looking like I got stung by a million jellyfish.
I rinse and brush my teeth, then throw on a big t-shirt and pajama shorts. I lie back down and attempt to fall asleep. Key word here is 'attempt'. My tummy is in knots, and my body feels like it was hit by a Mack Truck. All that keeps popping into my head is Olivia on Jaxon's lap kissing him. FUCK!!!! I am such a fool. I let myself get bamboozled by a man yet again. I made a mistake giving my heart to Jaxon. Why in the world would I think this time would be different. I can literally feel my heart breaking, the pain is unbearable. I feel so sick, how could I have been so blind.
What am I going to do now? I can't go back to work, I can't be around him or Olivia. I need to find a new job. Even though I don't want to do anything but lie in bed until I grow old and die. I have to email that cheating bastard my resignation letter. I will not be back at work on Monday so I can be the butt of his and Olivia's joke.
