He Makes Me Feel This Way

RECAP:

"Okay, okay. Let me get this straight. You," he points at me, " are getting married for your parents sake? So they get money? That's fucked up."

"I thought swearing wasn't attractive Diego. Anyway, yes I am and it's because of that, that my life feels so horrible and I want to commit suicide by jumping off a really tall building, into a pool filled with spikes... that are on fire."

"Phoebs, don't joke about that."

Jeremy: Did you just insult me in Italian? Fine, I will insult you in Korean. Dong saya dae.

Phoebe: That means 'I need to take a shit.'

"Good, now, what I wanted to speak of was the wedding date. It will be held on August the sixteenth."

"W-what! Why? Do you know what that day is?"

They are getting me married on my birthday.

I wiped away my tears and untangled myself from Chloe. I felt dead inside, I really did. I knew it was going to be bad news but, that has to be the worst news I have received, ever. Well, after the one where my Aunt Claire accidentally flushed my earphones down the toilet. How that happened nobody knows.

I signal Chloe to take Diego to his room. She nods and she grabs his hand, then they begin walking away. I watch them until they have disappeared from my line of sight. I sigh to myself and I walk up the stairs to my room.

I open my door and lying on my bed is the devil himself. He notices me enter and lifts his head up and smiles at me. I don't return the gesture and I just stare at him. He wasn't wearing anything formal, yet he still looked business- y.

"Ah, you finally decided to come to your- wait were you crying? What happened?"

"Like you care, Jeremy,"I snarl at him. "You haven't given a single fuck from the moment we met, so why now? Is this some joke to you? Am I a joke to you?"

"Quite frankly, yes. You are a joke. Look at you, you're pathetic."

His words cut deep, like a blade going through a sponge. I recoiled slightly from the harshness in his tone. My heart dropped slightly.

"You are a joke," he said stepping closer to me. "A fool."

He continued to walk towards me until he was right in front of me, just a breath away. I could feel his minty breath fanning on my lips and I blushed slightly.

"A weak, fragile and naive little bird." He said leaning in. He was so close to my lips, just a mere strand of hair could pass through.

I leaned in closer but he backed away. He looked at my face, scrutinizing every single cell that lay upon my cheek bones, and he laughed.

"You, should have seen your face!" He says in between bursts of laughter.

I turned beet red and looked away feeling ashamed of what I had done. Of course he had played me... it's Jeremy. The one who got all touchy feely with other girls while he was engaged to me.
