Welcome To New York #Wattys2016 (Book 1)

Chapter #12: "Blank Space of Hurt"

"JOSEPH ADAM JONAS," I screamed as I walked back into the airport.  I was fuming that Joe lied to me about Nick wanting to see me. It was clear to me now that Joe had something up his sleeve, but what the hell did it have to do with me? As I pulled him away from Harry, who was in the middle of talking, but I didn't care because all I cared about was the explanation as to why Joe tricked me to come all the way over here for no good reason whatsoever.

"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL," I spat out to him. Knowing he was going to act all innocent towards the situation at hand I quickly also spat out "AND DON'T YOU DARE ACT LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I'M TALKING ABOUT WHY THE HELL DID YOU FUCKING TRICK ME INTO SEEING YOUR BROTHER!!!"

Joe sighed and then started explaining his madness... "Okay, this is what's up he doesn't know you're here also he might be telling the girls that he tells me that he's happy with Kate, but I know my brother and he's not even in a relationship with her, so what he's been telling you about the rumors just being rumors are true Aby, they're just rumors."

I sighed and then asked "Okay, but what does that have to do with me being in New York again," I asked him once more. "Just hear him out," he then says "You don't have to stay, but just hear him out, we can go to Starbucks or something and you guys can talk this whole thing out, the rumors, the reason why he was on top of your best friend when he was in Miami and what happened about the "baby" subject," he tells me. I snort and laugh like I would ever give this piece of shit they call Nicholas Jerry Jonas a slight chance to even express himself with everything he put me through.

"Not in a million years, he didn't want to talk to me anyways when I texted him, so why the hell should I give him the satisfaction," I asked him quite angrily.

"Because I know my brother and I know he feels bad for his actions," Joe quickly defends him, of course he would though they're best friends so it really didn't surprise me. I had to think about this though I've had a lot of people hurt me in the past and I didn't want to quickly forgive Nick or Jasmine, because I knew if I quickly forgave them I would easily get hurt again, maybe not by Jasmine, but I knew I would get hurt by Nick sooner or later, so I'm not trusting anything that he's telling me.

"I don't know Joe, I still have pain from multiple people hurting me pretty badly," I tell him honestly. I didn't know if I could trust Joe now either, because once you lie to me you never get a second chance, okay there was this one exception I made for Trish Thomson in the 7th grade, but that was it. I learned my lesson after she texted me one day, but that's another story fir another day.

He nods and then asks "Why don't you come with me then and we can just hang after Ashley gets settled in," and I just nod.

As we walk down the sidewalk we come into a Starbucks and he grabs us both a hot chocolate to enjoy and as I sip on mine he then asks me "Do you mind telling me about these hurting's that causes you not to trust people as much anymore?" I sigh, because I know this is going to turn into an activity of some sort, but I don't question it. Where do I start though I don't really remember the first thing that happened for me to be in this position? I guess I'll start with the day my ex-best friend Trish lied to me about some lung surgery that she never had, but I'm not really sure she's lied to me and done stupid shit to me. As I'm about to tell Joe he pulls out a piece of paper and a pen and told me to write it down. "This will be your "Blank Space Paper of Hurt," he says as I start writing down the title of the activity chuckling a little at his clever wordplay he used considering he dumped her for some other chick by a 30 second phone call.

The list looked a little like this after Joe had told me what the activity was supposed to do and what the whole point of it was as I just kept jotting down stuff about how many people hurt me over the course of many years of school.
