Deal Breaker

Chappie 36

Amy's POV

For just finding out that my entire life was a lie, I was pretty calm.

So what if my mom wasn't in jail for drugs? And my dad wasn't dead? So what if they were in padded cells at an asylum? I mean really, what did it matter if mental insanity ran in my family?

"Fuck." That was the fourth time the word had slipped out of my mouth in the last minute.

"Watch your mouth sis." Lawrence, Brent, and I were together at the moment.

"Fuck." I looked right into his eyes and said it again, just to spite him.

We were at the hospital, in the large cafeteria to be exact. We were the only ones who wanted food; everybody else was sick to their stomachs about Donny. I on the other hand, would never turn down food. Even if it was just a bag or two of chips from an ER cafeteria.

I filled a cup with coffee and turned to look at the two boys standing behind me. "Do either of you two have anything else to drop on me?"

Brent opened his mouth, then closed it again. I knew he was related to Rae and Manda. It may seem harsh to not tell him I knew, but I wanted to see how long my wonderful husband was going to keep it from me.

I turned back around and started to make my way to the little checkout. "Liars."

"What was that Ames?"

"Don't call me that Brent. And I didn't say anything." I snapped.

Lawrence and I talked a little about our parents, while the checkout lady flashed a smile at me that I failed to return.

Brent stood behind us; he was always there, always quiet.

He reminded me a lot of Finnick in that way. Finnick.

I missed him terribly, but after our last conversation I knew that we could never forgive each other.

Flashback

"I can explain."

"Oh, I'm sure you can. Let me guess, it was all just an accident." His voice was full of sarcasm.

"I'm sorry. I just drank way too much last night and-"

"You're drinking again Ames? You can't do that. You do remember what happened last time, right?"

"I know. I was just so damn stressed and you weren't here."

"Because I was on a fucking mission for you!" He yelled.

"You know it's not for me! Please just fucking listen to me! We can be together; I can fix this."

"No we can't. I can't be with somebody who cheats on me. This probably isn't even the first time." He turned around and started to walk away.

By now, I was full-on crying. "What about the promise Finny?" He stopped and slowly turned to me. Emotion flashed across his face at the mention of the promise and my use of his nickname that only the three of us could use.

"Things have changed Amy. And I'm afraid I can no longer keep it. This isn't my Ames and now I don't want her back." It was clearly sadness and anger that flashed on his face now. "It won't be the first promise to her that I broke."

And with that he turned and strode down the hallway, leaving me. Alone.

End of Flashback

We finished at the cafeteria and went back to Donny's room.

"Hey guys. Where's Shiloh and Amanda?"

"Shiloh kinda freaked and ran out, dragging Amanda behind him." Raelynn shrugged as she said it.

"No. No. No. No. No." I ran out of the room and booked it down the hallway, jumping into a closing elevator.

I pressed the lobby button repeatedly, willing it to move faster.

When it finally hit the first floor, I flew out of the barely open doors and ran to the parking lot.

I arrived at the lot to see Shiloh pulling out of his spot. I rushed to stand in front of the car and block his way.

He motioned for me to move, but I stood my ground.

He rolled his eyes and climbed out, motioning Amanda to stay in the car.

I only spoke when he was right in front of me. "What are you doing Shi?"

He decided to play stupid. "I don't know what you mean. I'm just driving my wife and I home."

"Shi."

"Ames." He mocked me.

"Shi! Tell me the truth right now or I swear-"

He didn't need me to finish my sentence. "Fine. We're going to Florida."

"Why?"

"Honeymoon?" His words came out as a question.

"You motherfucker. You're leaving cause you're scared. But you promised."

He looked hurt for a fraction of a second before he became his usual self. "I'll stay, but don't think it's for you. This is for Carly."

It a couple days later and Finnick has been hanging around Karmin a lot. After what happened between us, I'm wondering why the fuck he's coming around me or any of my friends. Karmin seems to like the attention though and she's starting to piss me off.

The strange thing about this all though is that the same time Finnick started coming around, so did Celia and I can't help but think that something is going on.

We are at the mall, just all us chilling when Celia and Finnick show up. Brent's not here cause he had some family stuff to attend to. Some random chick showed up with Finnick and Celia and is making friends with Raelynn and Amanda. Finnick and Karmin seemed to be having a wonderful time. Zayn looked pissed until Celia started talking- scratch that- flirting with him. Too bad Karmin was too busy to notice.

"Zayn. I need to talk to you." I said.

"Not right now. I'm busy."

Something like that happened with all of my friends I tried to talk with. Then all of the sudden fucking Flower Bitch shows up and starts throwing herself at Lawrence. And of course, being a guy, he starts ignoring Ash and talking to Maria.

"I'm leaving." I announced to nobody in particular, because it's not like anybody was listening.

A few feet away from the table, somebody taps on my shoulder. I turn around to see Shiloh and Ashlynn.

"So somebody was listening to me then." I stated, before turning around. I knew they were following me as I made the way to my car.

We were going to plan Flower Bitch's demise.

And at the time when we laid out the plan, the teams would be all fucked up, and there would be some very unexpected people on both.

I wanted to apologize that this chapter took nearly a month and a half. I loved the chapter the way I wrote it the first two times and after the second time it got erased, I was pretty done with typing on Wattpad for a while. Thanks for hanging in there though and sorry again. One more thing, this chapter is completely different from how I first had it typed.
