You can't always get what you want

I woke up later that same day with a blistering headache. I pulled the covers up over my head and groaned.

"Fuck my life" I yelled. I took the covers off me and pulled myself up. When I stood up I felt dizzy. I quickly went to the medicine cabinet and got some Aspirin. I went down the long staircase into the living room. I made my way into the kitchen and saw the bouquet of flowers once again. I was still curious as to how they got in here and I was determined to find out, just not now.

I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and popped it open. I grabbed two tablets and swallowed them. I set down the water bottle and walked over to couch and flopped down. I switched on the TV and saw that the news was on. I closed my eyes, every once in a while glancing at the TV to see what was going on.

I rested my head on the couch cushion and attempted to sleep until I heard something that cought my attention. I whipped my head towards the screen and listened.

"John Mayer seen with a women who's not his girlfriend. More details coming after this short break" I had no emotion. I knew they had to be lying. I rested my head back on the cushion and closed my eyes in attempt to make the commercials go quicker, some how.

After a few minutes I heard the man talk on the TV.

"Ok, we're back with more news. As you heard before the break, we saw singer John Mayer with another woman other than his current girl: Katy Perry. Now I dont want to assume, but it looks like John is cheating? How? I don't know. Katy is a very attractive woman and any guy would be blessed to have her, in my opinion. We saw them going to dinner and cuddling very close. Well it looks like Katy has some competition here. Good luck."

I was so angry. How could I be so stupid? How could I think that I could be in a relationship without something happening? Of course.

I feel humiliated. Half the world just saw that and they're probably laughing at my stupidity. I feel tears start to form in my eyes.

"I'm done" I say to myself. I wipe away the tears before they have the chance to fall. I heard my phone ringing from upstairs but I don't bother getting it. I turn the TV off and rest my head on the cushion once again. I have no idea what to think. They could be lying right? What if they aren't? What if our whole relationship was just a joke? I close my eyes as a tear fell onto my arm that was laying under my head.

I hear my phone ring upstairs and once again I let it go. I thought I could control my emotions but I guess I was wrong. I let all the tears that were building up come out. I put my hand on my head and bawled. I knew it was to good to last. I grabbed the blanket that was folded next to my feet and spread it across my body, instantly feeling warmer than before.

My headache was getting worse as I cried but it didn't compare to the feeling I had in my chest. I didn't know what to think. I could be overreacting, it could be is mom or somebody for all I know. Or it could be his "new" girlfriend.

After about 10 minutes of sobbing into my hands I stop. I rest my head on my arm and close my eyes. I fell asleep.

A little while later I woke up to the sound of somebody banging on the door. I wasn't in the mood to talk to anybody right now. I laid there quietly in hope of them thinking I wasn't there.

I eased my body once I heard no more knocking until they knocked again. I rolled my eyes and got up, instantly feeling dizzy. I walked towards the door to see who it was. To my surprise I saw Tamra and Bradford. I unlocked the door very slowly and opened it at the same speed.

"Katy" I heard Tamra speak. I took a deep breath and walked away, leaving the door open so they could come in. Instead of sitting where I was before I sat in the recliner located in between the couch and mini couch.

Tamra and Bradford walked in and stood in front of me. I could tell they had something to say but didn't. I looked at Tamra and lifted my eyebrows.

"What did you guys need?" I asked blankly. I watched as they looked at each other in worry.

"Did you watch TV today?" Bradford asked. I didn't want them to know I did so I shook my head.

"Ok, well we have something to talk about then." I looked in his eyes and furrowed my eyebrows.

"What?" I leaned my head back waiting for them to spill the beans, the beans that already have been spilled.

"ok, uh, a while ago we saw something on TV," I really didn't want to hear it again, I was afraid of letting my walls drop and them seeing me break down.

"John was-" I cut him off.

"Stop" I said. I was very humiliated. I knew they thought that I would choose any guy to be with. That's not true at all.

"Don't say it please" I took a deep breath.

"I know already. I watched it" I said. All the sudden I heard my phone ring upstairs again.

"I'll get it" Tamra said. She skipped to the stairs and ran up them, trying to catch my phone before it stopped ringing.

"Katy, are you ok?" Bradford asked. He kneeled down so he was face to face with me and grabbed my hand. I liked how sympathetic he always was when it came to this topic.

"I'm fine" I said. I wasn't fine. I just needed them to know that I was.

"Are you sure?" He squeezed my hand and have me a sincere smile. I smiled back.

"Yeah I'm sure" I replied. Tamra came down with my phone in her hand. I watched as she handed me it. I saw that I had 5 missed calls. 1 from Tamra, and 4 from... John. I wasn't in the mood to speak anymore. I wanted everyone to leave so I can be at peace with myself.

"Can you guys go now?" I tried to say it nicely but it didn't sound like it at all.

"Uh yeah sure, call us if you need anything." I nodded my head until I heard the door shut.

About 5 minutes after they left my phone rang again. I looked at the screen and saw a very beautiful face. John. I didn't want to answer it but somehow my finger slid across the screen. I couldn't hang up now.

"Hello?" I heard him say. My heart was beating extremely fast.

"Uh, hello" I said back.

"Oh Katy thank god, listen-" I couldn't stand to hear what lame excuse he had so I interrupted him.

"No you listen, I've been working very hard at this relationship and the least you can do is cheat on me? John I'm very disappointed in you. I didn't know you had the balls to do it! So much for the so called "love" you had for me! Goodbye John. Au Revoir"

I hung up the phone feeling wonderful/terrible. I felt good for saying that but I also felt bad for it too. I knew I had to say it but so not so rudely. Mmm its life.
