My Heartbreak Sequel

Flashback

I remember very well, it was the 3rd of April and it was our second year anniversary. The previous year, Jay and I went to a beach resort in Miami and I had the best weekend of my life. Our love story was a special one, or at least I thought. But all good things come to an end.

Jay and I met when I was 15 and he was 17. He was your typical bad boy and he stole my heart. He was tall and had dark brown hair. He had a five o clock shadow which I loved so much and he drove a motorcycle. My mom didn't like him very much and I wish I had listened to her. I just wish I knew then what I know now; to never fall in love with guys in the dark.

Jay had texted me happy anniversary that morning and said he was out of town but promised that we would do dinner when he got back the next day. He didn't say why and something about that made me feel uneasy but I didn't budge. I just simply said okay and went to school. It was around midday when I made the shocking discovery. My friend came over and she and I were just having a gossip session when we came across Valerie's Facebook profile as she was tagged in one of the schools throwback photos. Valerie as I've gathered, used to go to my school but she just left a year ago and hadn't even told anyone why. I guess now we know why..

How does this relate to Jay? Well as we clicked on Valerie's most recent picture, it was her and a baby and a guy who she named the father. It was Jay.
Jay had a baby.
It all made sense now. All his trips "out of town".
Tears just fell out from my eyes as I was still staring at that picture. I couldn't process how he had cheated on me and in the process impregnated another girl. I was beyond hurt.

That night I cried like never before. I felt so stupid for trusting him, for giving him so much of my time that I can never get back. I just couldn't believe it all and even so, I still didn't know how I would react when I saw him the next day.

I'll just fast forward to the confrontation. It went like this :

Jay: baby, I missed you so much and I'm sorry I didn't spend yesterday with you. I hope tonight will make up for it all. I have a surprise for you..

Me: I wonder what it is, you seem to have many surprises up your sleeve or   "Out of town".

He was genuinely confused so I went on because I was never into the business of beating around the bush. I got straight to the point.

Me: when did you think was the perfect time to tell me about your baby with Valerie? After I've wasted more of my time with you? After a few more dates? Years? Or after having a child of my own would you then come up to him/her and say "oh by the way you have a step sibling" ?
You are such a fucking coward Jay and I loved you so much. I cried so much last night not because of the pain but because I felt so stupid for ever trusting you with my heart. I don't want to hear from you or see you ever again. Do me a favor and delete my number and burn all of our pictures because I am done with you. I am wiping your existence from my memory and as we speak, I am holding a mental funeral for you in my head."
That was harsh I know but that's exactly how I felt. I didn't even give him a chance to respond, I just left.

And that was the last time I saw or ever heard from Jay.

6 months later, I was ready to move to New York with my mom and leave it all behind. Especially Jay

Or at least I thought.
