Val's Pov
Why would he break up with me for money? I mean really? Who does that and I wonder who it is from. Probably douche Colton. Gah, I really hate this situation, I really wish it has been two years already. I really want a baby, and I want it before I'm 30. But noo, if I would have still been with Josh, he probably would have given me a baby like I asked for. Whatever, I don't even care anymore. I should maybe text him back. Ugh.
*What the actual fuck Josh? Why would u do that?*
That pisses me off more than him not loving me anymore. I get that he wasn't ready to be married, we both loved our jobs. Shit! Work! I have to go back to that on Monday. Hopefully Colton gets me onto the show so I don't have to work there anymore. Don't get me wrong I love my job, it's just the people I work for are bitches. I have to come up with ads for major companies. You know the jingle for state farm? Yeah, we came up with that, and the ads that come with it. It took me forever to get to this stage in my job, and I've only been out of college for two years. Business major. I love my job so I wouldn't go back and redo it.
I get a text from Josh back. Do I really want to look at this? Yeah I do.
*I was forced to take the money. I can't tell you who did it, you would hate them forever. I'm sorry Val. After these two years we can go out again?* Is he fucking stupid? Yeah because I'm going to go out with that douche again. I mean I will always love him, he was my first true love, my first everything.
*Maybe, Idk if I can trust you again. Bye, I'm going to bed.*
*Bye Valerie Rose.*
He's the only person who has ever called me that, when I'm not in trouble. It always made my heart flutter when he would say that.
I sing the song Last Kiss by Taylor Swift. Listen to it, you'll get the feels. Lol
That is literally describing me right now. I never thought me and Josh would have our last kiss. Taylor Swift seems to always sing what I'm thinking. I wish I had better luck with people. I should probably go to bed.
I wake up the next morning and I have 20 messages on my phone. Great. Birthday messages. I hate them, but I like when people think about me. I wonder what my parents got me, a card with their signatures? Ha yeah, that's probably what it is. MY parents don't give a damn about me. I hear my phone beep again and I look down at it. Holy shit! I can't believe he texted me!
*Happy Birthday baby sister! I'm sorry I can't be there today for the big 26! I love you! See you when I get home! Oh and Mark says hi! And Happy Birthday too! We have something for you! -Jake*
*Thanks Jake! I love you too, and you too Marcus! I can't wait for you guys to get home! I miss you so much!*
Jake and Marcus are my brothers who are deployed in Afghanistan right now. They're twins, and two years older than me. I'm the baby of the family, Brit and Rosie are older than me by 3 years, they're also twins. I'm twin less, but I could really care less. I like not having a twin. I walk downstairs and I hear Colton on the phone.
"Stacey, I feel bad for doing this to her, but I'll be over at 7. Okay? Just please don't tell anybody. Bye."
Wow, booty call tonight? Ha that's great we haven't even married a month and he's already deprived of sex. How do you think I'm going to last two years? I will not be the one getting caught cheating. I walk into the kitchen and grab a banana and some fruit snacks.
"Oh hey Valerie, Happy Birthday. Did you just come down here?" I glare at him and flip him off. "Alright I take that as a no." I run upstairs and slam my door shut. Great birthday.
A/N: This chapter probably sucks! I seriously have been staring at the screen all week not knowing what to write. Major case of writers block. Any suggestions? Please? Hahaha Thanks!
