Shattered

Chapter 31

Kayla's POV

He never called.
He promised that he would call when he got off the plane, but now it's three days later and I still haven't gotten a call.
Even if he called I wouldn't answer.
I've been so depressed lately I won't let anyone in my room except for Mackenzie and Ashton.
I can't believe Jacob would do this to me.
It took me so long to fully trust him and all he does is throw me away.
The emptiness in my heart is so painful that I don't need to purposely inflict pain to show that I'm dying.
The eternal burning in my chest is all I need.
I haven't eaten in three days.
Ever since Jacob left I haven't done anything.
Ashton always brings me up a cup of water every once in a while and won't leave till I finish it.
So all I've done is cry, breathe (barely) and drink.
My life is so pathetic it would just be easier to end it, but I know that people still care for me even if one of them isn't Jacob.
Just saying his name makes me want to crawl under a rock and die.
I decided to actually get up and talk to someone.
I walked down the hall to Hunters room but he was on the phone with someone.
So I listened to his conversation.
He was on speaker.
With Jacob.

H=Hunter
J=Jacob

H: come one bro she's been a mess ever since you've left. she refuses to eat or shower and he only drinks because Ashton forces her to. You did something horrible to her.
J: I really don't care about her. She need to get over herself because I'm not coming back. I gave her an amazing time that last night and that's it.
H: seriously Jacob she's heart broken. you should have heard her when she read the note. If you didn't know what was going on you would have thought she was dying.

I am dying

J: I don't really care Hunter. It's over and done with she just needs to get over it.
H: she can't she is so depressed that she is starving herself she is crying an unhealthy amount and she won't speak to anyone. come on bro just come home.
J: This was my decision not yours my manager wants me to be more solo than in a big stupid group.
H: okay than you should at least call her.
J: She can survive without me.

No I can't

H: Okay whatever I got to go bye Jacob.
J: Bye

I then knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Hunter yelled so I opened the door to see him running his hands through his hair.
"You didn't-" he said but already saw the tears in my eyes so he assumes I heard the conversation.
"Oh no Kay I'm so sorry, he's being a jerk," he said pulling me into a hug.
"Why why would be leave me, he doesn't even care anymore, but I care so much," I choked out.
"I know Kay I know he's just only thinking of himself and no one else," he mumbled into my neck.
"But I loved him so much, who am I kidding I still love him!" I yelled pulling away from him.
"Sometimes when you love someone so much you just have to let them go," he said smiling at how cheesy that sounded.
I nodded.
"I'm going back into my room now," I said looking down.
"Ok don't do anything stupid," he said.
"Can't make any promises," I whispered an walked out.
I walked into my room to see Ashton sitting on my bed.
"I brought more water," he said smiling.
I giggled and grabbed the cup and slowly drank it.
"You need to get out of this room get over him, find a new man," he said getting up off my bed.
"It's not as easy as it seems," I said laughing.
"Just try please for me," he looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Fine be ready in 1 hour, were going to the mall," I said getting up and walking to the shower.
He screamed yes and ran out to get ready.

Once I got out of the shower I got dressed.
I put on a black tank top, a red and black flannel tied around my waist, black jean shorts and my red converse.
I put on foundation and concealer to cover my puffy eyes.
Then I just put on mascara and put my hair in a pony tail.
I looked in the mirror and I looked pretty good.
"Today is the day we get over him," I said to myself.
I walked out of my room and went to Ashton's room.
I walked in and he was putting on his shirt.
"It's time to go find me a new man," I said to him trying to hold in my laughs.
"Lets do this," Ashton said grabbing my hand and dragging me to the car.
I hopped in the drivers seat and he jumped in the passenger seat.
I turned the keys and started the car.

"Are you sure your ready Kay?" he questioned me.

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be Ash," I said pushing my foot on the gas pedal and we were off to the mall.

Time to find a new Jacob.
If that's even possible.
