Chapter Three
(Lauryne P.O.V)
"Watchu doin'?"
I am laying flat on my stomach talking on the phone with Jake. It has been two months since we confessed our love to each other, and since that we are inseparable. I feel so lucky to have him because he is sweet, caring and kind. Cheesy, I know. But it is the truth.
Hearing his raspy voice through the phone never fail to make my stomach flip. Just a phone call from him would make me feel like I am on cloud nine and riding unicorn over the rainbow.
Oh my God, I'm so childish.
"Good. How's college today?" He sounds tired.
"Hmm just college, nothing much. I am really sick of my Economic teacher Mr. Roger. He won't stop babbling about his past life and complaint about how his pathetic children left him three years ago. Of course, everyone was interested in his personal life, and I was like 'Can you just shut up and teach already?'. I think he talked about it like an hour." I giggle softly when I think about some students were drifting of into deep slumber in the class. It sucks when you don't share any of your class with your best friends. I really need Emma or Jenna in the class so that I would not die of boredness.
There is a dead silence over the phone. I wait patiently for it but there is still no one speaking. "Hello?" I try to speak. Maybe he just hung up the call because he got tired of my story.
No he would not dare.
Okay maybe I shouldn't sound so clingy. I have been clinging on him for months. He needs some space too.
After a moment he finally reponds, "Uh, yeah?"
"Did you listen to what I say just now?"
"You were talking about... your teacher... slept in class while teaching?"
"NO!" I furrow my brows. He wasn't listening. "What are you up to, Jake?"
"I need to go now. I'm sorry." I hear him sighs.
"Don't you ever-"
"I'm sorry I have to go, babe. I'll make it up to ya." Then the call ends. I stare at my phone. He didn't even bid a goodbye to me? Ugh. Leaning back, I plug in my earphones and listen to some rock song. I get up and sing along but I can't listen to my singing because my earphones are on. I start to do some stunts like playing air guitar and banging my head back and forth. I always want to be a singer. I do have a band in college with Emma and Jenna. Our band is named as 'JEL' as in the initials of Jenna, Emma and Lauryne. We compose our own songs with different kind of genre. Paramore has inspired us to form a band and sing. Singing is my life. If anyone is stopping me from singing is like stopping Jim Carrey from acting a comedy.
I don't realize that Jenna and Emma appear in front of me. They wave their hands to get my attention and their lips are moving.
"WHAT??"
The looks on their face show annoyance. I yank my earphones out and raise my eyebrows at them. "Anything I could help?"
Their facial expression change. They look worry and nervous. Slowly, they sit on my bed across from me and sigh. They look at each other worrily.
Okay what is going on?
"Look Lauryne. We are going to tell you something." Emma starts.
I look at both of them. "C'mon we're sisters. Just spill the beans. We will not keep secrets in our chest right?"
"No," Jenna speaks next. "Not our chest but Jake's." I feel the colour of my face has drain off. Is it a bad news because they look worry and guilty.
"I don't know where to start..." Emma speaks softly.
"Guys is there something I don't know about Jake? How do you guys know instead of-"
"Jake is not a Cabin Crew. He is the son of Derek Allen."
My face goes completely pale. I expect Jenna and Emma say things like 'Gotcha' or 'Just kidding', but non of them persist. So it must be a truth.
"Look," Jenna starts off. "He didn't know how to tell you so he went through us. We are so sorry to hear that."
"Why didn't he just tell me when we met?"
"He... he was afraid that you won't love him for him but his... money and background..."
"Bullshit! Do you think I would? I won't!" Do I even look like those girls?
How dare he lied to me for these goddamn three months? You might think I will be happy because I am currently dating a millionaire's son but no, I could not accept it. The truth hurts so much that I would rather stick to the lie. Anger build up inside me as I try to blink off tears but they betray me.
I am so mad.
I am sure I look like a gorilla with my nostrils flaring and teary face but I don't care. I don't hate Jenna nor Emma. I hate myself for being in love with him with his stupid lie. I have the urge to throw my vase on the wall but they hold on my arm, thankfully. I bite my lips to stop myself from crying. It hurts like a broken bone and at the same time a knife stab into my heart and twist it. Now I know how heartache feels like.
"I wish we could help." Emma says.
Although I am mad, I don't want to lose either of my friends. I don't yell at them, but I stand up and open my door.
"Get out." I mutter to them. They look shock. "Just need some time alone." They understand me and walk out of my room. I slam my door and fling myself onto my bed, still crying. I should not cry over a guy right? But here I am, all broken and hopeless.
