My Home

#2

My head hung low and my hair curtained my face while I tried desperately not to cry.
Today is just one of those tragic days. I kept looking out of the window of my car hoping to see at least one soul who could help me.

But something wasn't right.

It was completely deserted.

I took my phone and unlocked it to look at the time.

7:25 am.

It's not that early. I mean at least not early enough to be this deserted.

I had talked to the bank a while ago and they blocked my credit card thankfully. So at least one of the factors for my tension was blown away.

I went through my contacts and clicked on my best friend Hanna's number.

Maybe she could pick me up from here. I hope. I pressed the green button and held the phone to my ear.

Hi I am Hanna I am obviously busy right now so I will get back to you as soon as I can. Just leave a message.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

I sighed. "Hey Hanna it's me Spencer I was just wondering if you could pick me up from this.... Uh..." I had to once again look out of the window to see where exactly I was. " yeah I am just outside the snookers pub and please help me out I am stuck and my car has no gas. Please see this as soon as you can thanks."

I locked my phone and just sat there staring ahead with literally nothing in my mind for the moment.

Soon my thoughts drifted away to the previous week leading me to take a trip to the memory lane.

"I told you I am sorry I did not intend for it to happen Spence. I know I screwed up but please believe me she came on to me!" Alex said.

" Oh yeah?! She came on to you for like what the past 5 months and you did nothing to stop her?!" I roared.

The nerve of this guy.

"Spencer I...I didn't know what to do. But she was my first love and the moment I saw her I just.." He stopped abruptly.

"You just what?" I asked pushing him a little. I was getting more and more suspicious. There was something big he was hiding from me other than the fact that he had been cheating on me for the past 5 months.

"Nothing forget it!" He sighed. "No I wanna know what happened Alex!! Because if you don't tell me the truth now I swear to got you will be leaving here with a broken-"

"I MARRIED HER ALRIGHT?!?!!" He shouted.

That's when my world fell apart in front of my own eyes.

"You...you did wh-what?" I chocked back my tears. It actually felt like my heart was being torn apart into shreds.

His eyes displayed a certain emotion which I was pretty sure could be termed as guilt. "Remember when I told you that I had to go meet up with my cousins in Boston for the week?" He whispered.

"Wait!!! So you're telling me you didn't meet your cousins? But you went off to Boston to get married?" I shouted in agony.

I was so close to crying. I had to control the tears from falling down somehow but it was too late.

They already fell.

"This doesn't make sense!! Why would you suddenly get married outta nowhere?" I said.

He opened his mouth to say something but closed it again like a fish.

"Are you just gonna tell me? It can't be anymore worse than it already is." I croaked.

"I had reunited with her just after...." He hesitated in saying.

I walked closer to him looking him dead in the eye. "Tell me now or I am walking out of this house with a dead man." I said coldly.

"Just after the night we made love which was our first year anniversary." He whispered.

I let out an audible gasp of disbelief.

"Get out." I gritted through my teeth. "Excuse me?" He was taken back.

"I said get. out. Of. my. house." He hung his head low and started moving towards the door but stopped.

"I never wanted to hurt you." He said and walked out from my life forever.

I let myself drop on the couch and let a tear slide it's way down my cheek.

Oh god the memories gives me nightmares every day.

I let out a bitter laugh. Why are all men such jerky assholes?

I was snapped out of my thoughts when there was a knock on my car window.

I slid it down and was met with a pair of beautiful hazel eyes.

"Are you Spencer Hastings?" The man said in his deep rough voice.
