The Bad Boy's Princess #Wattys2016

16: Boldness and Tears

16

By making a new start, I had decided to ask Jake for the truth. I couldn't just keep hanging in his life, when he wouldn't tell me a thing but he expected me to tell him everything.

I made some pancakes, waffles and laid some pop-tarts, ritz, and some cereal with milk for everyone on the table.

Just as I was finished, and was sitting down on one of the sofas in the living room, Jake appeared from the hallway, sleep still evident on his face. I had to tell him now, I kept reminding myself.

"Good morning babe" He said, his voice quiet hoarse.

"Good morning Jake. I wanted to talk to you about something." I said, bravely.

"Sure." He took the seat on the l-shaped sofa just opposite mine, and concentrated on me.

"Have you, uh, are you still back to your old habits?" I blurted out.

"What do you mean?" He asked, anger rising on his face.

"I asked that have you started doing drugs again or not!" I shouted.

He grabbed a shirt which was lying on the sofa, putting it on above his navy blue sweatpants.

"Well?!" I shouted.

"Who said I ever quit drugs huh?!" He screamed.

I was in utter shock.

"What the fuck Jacob Adam Parker?" I shouted as he grabbed his car keys from the table and shut the door.

Scarlett and Casper came rushing toward me, they must have woken up because of the shouts.

"What the hell happened Liv?" Scar asked, panicked.

"We just, uh we just broke up." I replied.

"What? But you all had the perfect relationship?" Casper added.

"Yeah, I know. Maybe I was just friends with the bad guy after all." I said, sadness dripping from my words.

"He will come back Liv. He has too. He has to give some explanation to you before breaking up with you, which I still think is not possible."
Scar continued to pacify me.

"He will not! Can't you see it? Its because I messed up! And I messed up bad. Something's wrong with me. Maybe I just have to die alone!" I yelled, at my bestfriend, while Casper decided to give us some space.

"You are not going to die alone. Well, wait. Let me just for a moment think that Jake broke up with you, and he's never gonna come back, see you again or do anything with you. It's fucking okay! It is not the end of the world for god's sake! And with the dying situation, you are surely not gonna die alone. There is a boy in this goddamned world who will love you for what you are! He will not let you mope around because of him for fuck's sake! Get that straight! There. Are. More. Boys. Left. In. This. World. And, why do you think boys are even important? If he's left you, its his goddamn loss!" Scar said, speaking all of the words that I wanted myself to follow.

I instantly hugged her, and she whispered in my ear,

"Its not necessary for him to be the boy that he was when he was younger. You have great expectations from people, Liv. Don't attach yourself emotionally to people so fast. At the end, its gonna be you who is going to cry. "
