The Forced Marriage

Chapter 8

I get into Colton's car, only because I didn't want to walk anymore, and he said he was going to tell me what went down between him and that girl. "So talk, or I am getting out of the car." I say to him.

"That was Sarah, the girl I was dating, she didn't know about the arrangement between us, and I thought since you and I were only putting on a show to the public, she would still want to be with me. But I guess that wasn't the case. I guess if I would have told her sooner maybe she would still want to be my girlfriend but whatever it's over now. I guess I should have felt heartbroken when she dumped me, but strangely I didn't." Wow. He was going to be seeing another girl while he was married to me? I mean I know this marriage isn't real, but what if someone saw them? Then what would everyone think? I seriously hate this guy.

"So let me get this straight, you were going to fuck another girl, while being married to me? What if somebody saw you guys? Then what would happen? Our parents make us go to marriage counseling? Fuck that shit. I would seriously leave, and never come back if that happens." During these two years I plan on only talking to him when it's only necessary!

"Why should it matter if I fuck another woman while we are married? It's not like you're going to put out any! And marriage counseling? Hah I don't think so darling. I would divorce you saying you cheated on me first, and you're mom would believe me wouldn't she?"

"Fuck you Colton. I hate you. Stop the car. I want out." He slams on the breaks, making me jolt forward in my seat. I look over and glare at him. Only then do I notice that it is starting to rain. "Shit."

"Get out. You wanted out. Your house is 10 blocks straight down this road." He unlocks the door and I get out. The moment I slam the door shut he takes off down the road. And then with just my luck, it started raining. Great.

I start walking down the street. I feel like singing. Fuck me. I'm going to sing. I love to sing.

"Wake up to a Sunny Day
Not a cloud up in the sky
And then it starts to rain
My defenses hit the ground
And they shatter all around
So open and exposed
But I found strength in the struggle
Face to face with my troubles"

That is actually one of my favorite songs, in the whole entire world, and It describes how I'm feeling right now. Singing cheers me up...kinda...This is actually worse than I thought I have only gone two blocks. People piss me off. I mean how many people have driven by and not one have stopped to ask if I needed a ride or something? Thank gosh nobody heard me singing.

I may have spoke to soon. I see a black SUV coming to the side of the road. "Hey Val, do you want a ride?"

"J-Josh? Aren't you still pissed at me?"

"Val, get into the car. You're freezing." I open the door and hop in.

"Josh, why were you so mean to me the other day?"

"I was drunk Valerie. I wasn't thinking straight. I was still pissed for doing what I did to you."

"Why did you do it Josh? I really loved you. And now I have to get married to this jackass loser who made me get out of his car when it started raining."

"Why are you marrying him Val? Is it that bad to be single?"

"No Josh its nothing like that. I probably would have been still in fact I still am, into you."

"Then why?" Should I tell him? Or should I not. I don't know if my mom wants anybody to know about the contract. I really want to tell him though. But why should I? He's the one who left me a week before our wedding. Who broke my heart.

"Why should I tell you? You broke me. You made me cry that whole week. I still cry myself to sleep." When I said that, Josh looked like he was broken. Like he just wanted to make it all better. Like he still loved me.

"Valerie, I cant tell you how bad I feel for doing that to you. Maybe after your wedding I can tell you why I did it okay? And you tell me why you married him. Okay? How does May 1st sound? I'll meet you at the café you always love to go to. Here's your apartment. Bye Valerie. I'll text you the time that we can meet."

"Bye Josh." I walk into my apartment, and its freezing cold. I completely forgot I was soaking wet! I run into my bedroom and strip putting my clothes into the laundry hamper. I put on my pajamas and get ready to tackle the mess that is my house. I grab a box and get started...

A/N: Wooooh. I added a song. Its called Broken By Lindsey Haun. one of my all time favorite songs! Do you like me putting a song in there or not? Ughh. I need some characters for like bridesmaids and stuff like that. So I can put you 5 fans if you want. Just comment if you want. Okay. That is it. I should update again before I go back to school on Monday. So yeah. Thanks for you 5 fans! Im pretty sure this is the longest chapter!
