I'm here with you

Chapter 14 It's all an act

Andrea's P.O.V

When I woke up the next morning I got a phone call. I answered it half asleep.

“Hey Andrea!” said Andrew on the other line.

“Hey, waking me up early as-” I said then heard something. Baby, come on! I’ve been waiting all night, one more kiss! “Who’s that?”

“Huh?” he said laughing a little. I hung up. I threw my phone off to the side and covered my head with a pillow. He’s so annoying and he’s cheating on me. I got out of bed and put on clothes because I was almost naked. I looked at the bathroom.

“I’ll shower later” I said. I went downstairs and ate some cereal. I then knocked out on the dinner table. I woke up to Andrew shaking me. I looked up and frowned. “What do you want?”

“Why are you mad at me?” I got up wide awake now and grabbed him by the shirt. He shrieked, what a coward!

“I heard that girl that you were with…oh sure your uncle, please” I said then threw him on the ground. “Did you just want something as a cover up to cover up that skank, whore you have as a girlfriend?”

“Don’t call her that!” he yelled as he got up. He tried to slap me but I grabbed his arm and shook my head.

“Oh so now you’re admitting it!” I yelled as I threw his arm to the side. His angry face turned sad or…it turned into a frown. “Get out…”

“What did you say?” he asked.

“Get out!” I yelled as I pushed him out the door. “Don’t ever come back!”

“Please, listen to me” he said.

“Why should I?” I asked as I looked away and wiped my tears. He got close and tried to hug me but I kicked him in his abdomen and he fell back. “Don’t touch me!”

I slammed the door in his face. I leaned back on the door and started crying. I sucked it all up and went to my room. I then burst out crying onto my bed.

After a moment, I sat up in bed and looked around. I strangely felt better. I took a shower and freshened up. I then called Vanessa.

“Hello?” she said.

“Vanessa, come quick! I broke up with Andrew”

“Be right there!” she said then hung up. I ran outside and wanted to go see Toby. Maybe he could make me feel better. I sat outside for a while debating whether not to go then decided to go. I’m not going to cry I’m just going to tell him what’s wrong and that’s all, even though since he’s super busy he probably won’t care. I knocked on his door and he opened it.

“Hey Andrea!” he said.

“Hi Toby,” I said happily then saw his face. I sniffled and asked him if I could come inside. He invited me in and I sat on the couch. He offered me stuff but I said no thanks to everything he offered me. Why is it so cold in here? I shivered and rubbed my arms for warmth. I heard him walking back.

“Oh” he said then suddenly a blanket was put over my shoulders. I looked up and saw him smiling. “Better?”

“Yeah, thanks” I hate it when I feel angry and/or sad and people are nice to me. I feel like I’m going to bring them down and/or yell at them. It’s weird! I’m weird! He sat down next to me.

“So, what did you want?” he asked. I started sobbing softly. I hid under the blanket. “What’s wrong?”

“I… I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me” I said still under the blanket.
