Chapter 4
"Hails..." Rose started to say, sympathy filling her eyes, "I'm sorry it had to end that way. You know, you didn't have to tell me. I wouldn't have asked you, repetitively. I'm sorry, I-"
"Rose, stop your rambling, it's fine. I needed to let it out anyway. Even if it was to a random stranger, but I prefer you, of course..." I interrupted her non-stop blabbering, seeming to start my own ramble.
"Well...I'm sorry anyway, I wish there was some way I could-"
"Rose? Why'd you stop?"
"Break up with him."
"What? Why? He's the only guy who doesn't remind me of Josh. The only guy who isn't weird and random. He-"
"He's the only guy who will neglect and be a complete jerk to you. Exactly, you need to let him go. You have no hope for him any more...you know, if you ever did in the first place. You deserve way better than him, a guy who will treat you like he loves you...a guy who really does love you." Rose said, on the verge of crying.
I said nothing, I couldn't. She was right, Andrew was a jerk. I didn't need him, I needed to let go of all false hope for him. I was like I was holding on to a small thread that symbolized my love, and Andrew was snipping at it little by little. I was going to stop him before it snapped, before I lose all hope for love. Tears came spilling from my eyes, I couldn't hold them in any longer. I was holding them in ever since I left Josh.
"Rose, y-your right...I can't d-do this an-any longer..." My voice was trembling, it was really hard to talk at the moment.
I kept crying and trembling in the small car. Not because I was breaking up with him, but because realization just hit me like a brick. It was like I ran toward's love, tripped over reality, and I just hit my head on the truth. No hospital could mend whatever was injured though. I didn't want to go home, I didn't want to face Andrew...but I had to. I wonder what his reaction will be, though. Will he explode and be outraged? Will he pretend to be sad and heartbroken? Or will he not care and kick me out? Wait, if he kicks me out, where will I go?
"It's okay Hails, I'll be right there the entire-" She started.
"Where will- where will I s-stay, that's his a-apart-apartment..." I whispered, watching my tears drop on to the leather car seat.
"Hails, I know that things are hard on you right now, but I need you to toughen up and do this. I know for a fact that you can, and you can stay at my place! Roomates!" She said with a gleeful smile, trying to lighten the mood.
I looked at her, nodding and somehow managing a small smile. I turned around and stared out the window, listening to the faint radio playing in the backround and the small sprinkle starting to do it's usual pitter-patter against the glass. I was wiping the tears from my face, getting mascara all over my fingers. It was pointless though, the tears seemed to be falling in unison with the rain. I wonder how much someone can cry, and why people cry in the first place. Your already sad, why have the stress of twiping the tears from your face, and start to think how much you can cry in the first place.
The car ride seemed to last forever though, I just wanted to get the break up over with. I wanted to get whatever his reaction would be over with. I just wanted to pack up and leave. I just wanted to go to Rose's house and relax in a nice warm bubble bath. I also may want a little hot chocolate to go with it. But, we don't always get what we want, neither to things always go as planned...
"Hails, we-we're here..." Rose said, wiping tears that I didn't notice she had from her cheeks.
I nodded slightly and took off my seatbelt. I started to open the door when she pulled me back and pulled out her purse. She started taking out things like, a brush, a make up bag, and even some perfume.
"I know he doesn't care, but I want you to look more presentable than that." She said, refering to my runny mascara, "Plus, if he knew you were crying, he would make a whole mess of, 'Why do girls think everything is so complicated?!'." She said, getting out some hairpins and managing a small giggle.
A little giggle started to bubble and rise up from my throat, causing me to giggle loudly in the quite car. Great, Hysteria. Why now? I don't have time to find anything else that's wrong with me. Don't I have enough problems already? I saw Rose blink in surprise while she started to slightly brush my hair. Now she know's I'm crazy. What if Andrew see's a hint of my depressional Hysteria? He'll think it's because of my depression, then he'll wonder why I'm depressed. I hope I don't ruin this...
I sat there for thirty minutes, waiting for Rose to finish getting the knots out from my messy hair. She finally finished and she started to wipe the ruined make up from my face. She finished and threw the make up filled wipes out the window and got to work fixing my make up. She touched everything up until it was complete, then she put some hairpins to fix my curly bangs into place and she put a spritz of some perfume on my neck. She hurryingly rushed out of the car and ran around to open my car door. She practically dragged me out and hauled me accross the lawn to our door.
She stared at me, expecting me to knock on the door. She stayed like that for a few moments until she rolled her eyes and grabbed my hand. But before she could force me to knock, the door swung open and we were pulled in by two strong arms. The force of the quick movement made me feel dizzy and I fell to the ground. The same two arms pulled me up, again with strong force, and sat me in a chair. A pair of small, feminine hands grip my shoulders to steady me. I looked up and saw Rose standing above me, giving me a look that says "You have to tell him, NOW." I nodded slightly and got up, tripping over my feet a few times before reaching the counter Andrew was at.
"A-Andrew." I called out to him, as he was making himself lunch.
"Yeah?" He answered with a tone that meant he clearly didn't want to talk at the moment.
"I-we-I mean....I think we should break up...." At that moment I was trembling.
"...W-what?"
