How Much Do You Love Me?

Chapter Nineteen~Just Don't...

Annie Marie

I tossed and turned as my phone continually rang and beeped. I looked at the caller I.D and it was non other than August. For the past three months he had called me and texted me thousands of times but I've never answered for him.

I've been trying so hard to get over him but he's making it really hard. The phone finally stopped ringing. It beeped one last time which meant he left a voicemail.

I didn't want to..... But I did. I unlocked my phone and went to the voicemail.

After I clicked on his name, I played it.

"Annie. Baybeh I kno' your hurt but I am too. I'm sorry. I don't know what else ta' say. I told myself this was my last time calling you in an attempt ta' talk. I guess your busy sleepin'. Can you please meet me somewhea' so we can talk and I promise I'll stop tryin' afta' that. Please. Call me back or text me wit' ya' answer. I love you."

I couldn't help the tear that fell. He was my first boyfriend. The first guy that touched me intimately. The first man I loved.

And still do.

I sighed and wiped my face. I sat up in my bed and thought.

Maybe I should give him another chance.

How many more times could he screw up?

I shook the thoughts because if I thought to hard about it I'd never forgive him. And my mother always told me:

"Never forget what people done to you, but forgive them because you never want to sleep forever with hate in your heart."

I really wish she was here so I could tell her everything that's going on with me.

My new job..
August..
My friends...
And that strange note I got three moths ago...

That made me think about it. The note.. Where did it come from and who sent it. It was really strange and I didn't understand what it meant.

I know what you think. But it's not true. In do time the truth will be revealed.
                    -J

And what the hell does the letter J represent?

I decided not to think to much on it.

I sent August a quick text back.

To: August!
Where and what time? 7:20 a.m

I was going to press the power button when he texted me back.

From: August!
At my mamas restaurant @ 9am for breakfast 😊 7:21 a.m

I rolled my eyes and sent 'ok'. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and flossed.

I looked in the mirror.

"Just go and hear him out. Nothing bad could possibly happen, right?" I asked myself.

Hopefully.

After that I turned on the shower and hopped in.

-39 minutes later-

I picked out some clothes to wear for today.
