Love Triangle

Chapter 13 - Heartbreak

I woke up with a throbbing in my head. Ouch that really is bad.

I got out of bed walked to the washroom and looked at my face in the mirror, I was scared at what I was seeing. My face had swollen up, my eyes could almost pop out, my under eyes were swollen too, did I really cry that bad?

I looked at the time it was 9:15pm, I think I slept for almost 5 hours. 

I heard my stomach grumbling, I hadn't eaten anything after I got home so I walked down to the kitchen and saw Maria. I walked in and said "Hey, Maria" and sat at the kitchen table and placed my hand over the table and rested my head.

Maria walked over me and caressed my back, I tried to somehow lift my head up but it felt so heavy and I looked at her hugged her and started crying once more.

"What happened, Lai, is it Liam?" she asked and I nodded and hugged her even tighter and cried. "Shh Lai, do you wanna talk about it?" she asked me again but I couldn't reply cause I didn't know whether I wanted to talk about it or no.

I looked pulled away from the hug and looked at her and nodded I don't know why but I felt the need to talk to someone about it maybe it would let me lighten my heart a little.

I start off from friday again about he didnt msg or call me after that and how I was so desperate today looking for him and till the end where I cry like shit in the parking lot and ended up looking like shit and while I was talking I didn't realize tears were pouring out until I finished blabbering.

Maria patiently listened to everything I had said so far and she just quite, I looked into her eyes there were no emotions too. Did she die listening to my story or she is spacing out and ignored all that I said.

After few minutes of silence she gritted her teeth and said "Asshole" this was the first time I had heard her cuss and there was rage in her eyes like she could just kill anyone and I was kinda frightened cause I was so used to the sweet Maria.

"Maria..." I asked with a nervous voice. She immediately turned and looked me, she came closer cupped my face, kissed my forehead and smiled at me.

"You deserve so much better my little girl he was a lesson a chapter that has been learnt and its over now, you be strong, you will get over him because its not like you were with him for over a month, you move on, take your, time concentrate on studies, enjoy your life and be most important be happy. 

Do not waste your precious drops of tears over an asshole like him, Lai. He did what he had to, its good he showed his true colours before you were deeply in love with him" she wiped a drop of tear from my eye, she didn't know that I already was deeply in love with him when I first saw him, that is why this has affected me so damn much, because all this while I was in love with him all alone.

Maybe she was right, maybe I will get over that jerk sooner than I think then I can lead a happy life and show him I am better off without him. 

I woke up the next morning, the sun was shining bright on my face I saw the time and it was 7:55 am and I didn't want to go to school today I sighed so loud and threw myself back on the bed, Maria came in with the coffee and said "You don't have to go today if you don't want to" 

I took the coffee and smiled at her she understood me so well. "Thanks, Maria and the coffee smells amazing. She smiled and nodded and left the room. I felt like shit.

Felt like throwing up so bad, but nothing would come out since I didn't eat last night because of the crying session that took place along with a lot of affectionate hugs.

I drank my coffee and laid back and took my phone in the hand, it was still switched off so I decided to switch it on again.

1..2..3.. I switch my phone on and the vibration was continuous, guess I was being missed but I don't know by who so I didn't get my hopes up. After it finally I stopped I looked through my phone and it was all Rebecca and 1/2 msgs from that jerk.

Rebecca: WHERE ARE YOU? WHY IS YOUR PHONE SWITCHED OFF? ARE YOU EVEN ALIVE? OR DID YOU DIE? WHATS GOING ON?

Rebecca: LOOK YOU ARE WORRYING ME, YOU BETTER ANSWER MY MSGS OR IT WONT BE GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!

Rebecca: YOU DID NOT EVEN COME TO SCHOOL, WHATS GOING ON? LIAM IS WORRIED SICK TOO FOR AT LEAST 100TH TIME NOW HE HAS ASKED ME ABOUT YOU! 

Rebecca: PLEASE CALL ME ONCE YOU PLAN ON SWITCHING ON YOUR PHONE AND ACTUALLY CARING ABOUT YOUR BEST FRIEND AND YOUR BOYFRIEND

Rebecca: OMG, DID YOU REALLY DIE? HAVE YOU BEEN KIDNAPPED? WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME? HAVE YOU BEEN ABDUCTED BY THE ALIENS? OMG I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY AM I WRITING IN BOLD! DAMN YOU LAILA ILL BE OVER YOURS AFTER SCHOOL. SEE YOU THEN OR KILL YOU THEN. 

I felt hurt when she used the word "boyfriend" well its not her fault I am the one who did not tell her about what a jerk Liam is and what he did to me with Janice, I cringe at the name itself, so how hard it must have been for me to see the sight.

Reading all the msgs of her the last one kind of made me smile. She always typed in capitals when she was mad or angry.

Now it was time to read his msgs.

Liam: Laila, listen I can explain everything to you from not answering your phone to what you saw today, just give me a chance please? I request! 

Liam: Okay then if that's what you want then i'll just clarify myself then its upto you what you wanna do. I didn't call or answer your texts because I was out with the boys we went campaign and there was  no network and it was a sudden plan so I couldn't even inform you and when I came back on monday I came to school specially to meet you but while I went looking for you, I bumped into Janice and she started clinging over me in the hallway itself, I pushed her walked away and waited until  school got over so I sat near the bleachers along with all the boys and they gave me a bet that I flirt a little with Janice and I said no because I told them I have a girlfriend but they started calling me a wuss and that made me angry and it was a question about manhood, you know how it works, so I took the challenge and thought of telling you after it was done but you saw me doing it and didn't let me explain a thing to you and you just left. Look Laila I am pretty serious about you and trust me I am not playing around with you. I love you" 

This was his msg but was I able to trust him again because of what he did? Should I believe him? This story does make sense but my heart is already broken now and I don't think I can give him a second chance or maybe I can? I was so confused right now I didn't know what to do.

This is heartbreak, when you love someone so much and they do the nastiest shit behind your back. 

AN - Surpriseeee another chapter is here I just felt like I should be nice to my lovelies after all. Lots of love to each one for your support. Thank you.
