Happily Never After || Sequel to Our Differences (ON HOLD)

Chapter Twenty One ~ Your Warning Won't Stop Me

I really don't know how long I can keep doing this, or willing to do this. I've been avoiding contact with Jon ever since that morning at the frozen yogurt shop when he told me the un-expecting, heartbreaking news. We usually talk every day. And now, I find myself sitting at an almost empty cafe, seated next to a large window, gazing up at the sky while many eloquent thoughts flow through my mind with many severe consequences.

I just don't understand. How long am I able to pull through this? I was finally opening up to Jon again.

He was regaining my trust, but now? I feel as if he doesn't deserve my trust.

How long has he kept this from me? He never mentioned talking to another girl. I thought he had always been interested in getting me back.

Of course, I am being selfish at the moment, but I can't help but wonder.

Kathryn, quit thinking about him. You're only bringing yourself down. Forget about him.

Right. Why should I waste anymore time on someone who never even gave a damn? Clearly he didn't because while I wanted to fix things between us, he was busy with another girl! Jon and I could have been happy now! I was finally going to tell him my feelings. I was finally going to tell him how much he meant to me and how I had started to fall in love all over again. All those plans blew away when I found out that he had found someone new, a model.

Oh, I really do hate experiencing heartbreak. It's one of the worst feelings, trust me.

But has Jon gotten rid of his feelings for the black haired, ice blue eyed girl that he used to love?

My phone ringing shakes me away from my thoughts as I look to see who's calling. And of course, it's Jon.

He's been calling and texting me, asking if I would like to meet his girlfriend and I've ignored every single one of them.

Even thinking about him calling her his "girlfriend" makes me cringe.

I would kinda like to get to know this girl a bit, but then, she practically took Jon away from me.

Gosh, why am I being so selfish?

I sigh before I finally answer, putting the phone up to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Kathryn?!" I hear Jon. "Why haven't you called? I've been worried about you!" He says through the phone. I roll my eyes. Yeah right, you're more worried about the girl that you're with.

"I've just been really busy." I lie. Busy thinking about you.

"Oh, well are you going to be busy tonight?" He asks.

"N-no."

"Why'd you stutter?" He asks me, chuckling. I could practically see the smirk on his face. "Anyways, Anna really wants to get to know you. I told her about how great of a friend you are and she's just been wanting to get to know you a bit better."

Well, I don't want to get to know her.

"Oh, uh, yeah. Sure." Well, this is going to be exciting.

"Great! You can bring Amelia, too! We're going out to a great restaurant, I'm sure you'll like it. Meet us there at 12? Oh, and wear fancy clothes!"

Once again, I roll my eyes at his little rambling.

"Okay, Jon."

"Alright! See you there."

"Bye." I hang up.

I check the time on my phone before sticking it in my pocket. 10:24. Guess I should start heading back and get ready, then.

I go up to the register and pay for my bill, then head out of the cafe.
