Angelina
I was going through a very rough patch in my life, I thought I found the one, realized she wasn't the one, she was the next one, and I lost my best friend all within a short period of time. My judgement wasn't in the best place at the time to be honest, which explains why Angelina was allowed into my life. I had met her on the subway one day on my way to work, and I thought she was stunning. I decided to sit beside her and introduce myself,
"Hi there, I am Tom, I couldn't help but notice how stunning you are. What's your name?"
"Angelina, my name is Angelina." She said with a smile.
"I know we just met Angelina, but would you like to get coffee sometime?"
"I would love to, here's my number."
Right there and then I should have noticed something was bad when her number had 666 right beside another, but nothing went off in my head. I saw a pretty girl and said oh, okay this will be good.
I went home to tell my best friend Matt about her and he warned me from the beginning but I didn't want to listen,
"Dude, Angelina? Do you know her last name?"
"Yes, McGrady."
"She is bad news Tom, I know her and she'll just rip you apart and I don't want that."
"I think I can realize that myself, she seems wonderful."
"Tom, she will be but she's really not. She will bring out the worst in you and you won't know it until she crushes you."
"Matt, trust me, she's just a girl. I will be fine. I'm going to call her."
"No you are not. When did you meet her, like three hours ago?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Three day rule bud, that's just creepy to call right away, you don't even know her."
"That's stupid, I am calling her." I said as Matt jumped across the room and tackled me to the ground for my phone and deleted her number from my phone.
"What did you just do?"
"I deleted her number, it's for your own good."
"No it is not, I need her number you asshole."
"Why? Why do you need it Tom? You don't even know her and you're obsessing over this stupid number."
"I am not obsessing, what if she's the one? What if she's Mrs. Right? What if you just fucked it all up for me?"
"Trust me, I've known you all my life, she was not Mrs. Right. I'm more Mrs. Right than she ever will be, she is not worth any of this Tom."
"Fine, you're right, thanks Matt, I
really appreciate that, you're a true friend." I then proceeded to tackle him and hide him in his room as I went to find out who she was. I had no luck until I went to a bar to unwind and there she was in a booth all alone. I went up to her and sat down.
"Hi there."
"Hi, Tom right?"
"That is correct, I never knew you came to this bar?"
"All the time, actually."
"I think it's time for that beer date since we are here."
"I'm actually here with my friend Veronica."
"Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt."
"Don't worry, want to meet her? Here she comes. Veronica! I want you to meet Tom, this is the guy I told you about."
"Hello Tom, it's a pleasure to meet you." Said Veronica.
"Hi Veronica, do I know you from somewhere?"
"Not sure, but I don't think so."
"Oh sorry about that, I think it's time for me to go and find my roommate, it was nice meeting you Veronica, and I'll call you soon Angelina."
I started to walk away when I realized I didn't have her number anymore so I turned around and had to ask for it again. I then proceeded back to my room to let out my roommate.
"Why did you do that Tom?"
"I am sorry but you were angering me and I needed her number."
"Please tell me you had no luck."
"Found her downstairs in the bar, I met her friend Veronica as well."
"Veronica is a sweet girl, I really think you should go after her."
"No, Angelina is the girl I want."
"Fine Tom, but it's your heartbreak."
In the next 2 months, Angelina and I had some ups and downs, mainly downs. We only ever fought and I became great friends with Veronica in the process as she was always so kind to me when Angelina wasn't. The relationship ended on the worst fight ever.
"Tom, you're an asshole."
"Why?"
"I don't know you just are."
"That doesn't make sense Angelina."
"I really dislike your personality to be honest, it's horrible."
"Why are you saying this?"
"I don't know it was just on my mind. It's horrible."
"You're being a bitch, could you not?"
"Did you just call me a bitch, who the fuck are you?"
"Are you seriously getting mad at me after you told me who I am is shit?"
"No, I never said that, I said your personality is shit, don't be fucking stupid or rude, who do you think you are?"
"Are you serious Angelina? I'm sorry I can not deal with this anymore I am done with you, have an amazing life alone."
"Have fun with Veronica, I see how you two are together, go fuck her, she's perfect for you. Thinking you're better than everyone."
"You know what? I will, she's twice the woman you are."
From there I slammed the door and proceeded to my apartment where Matt was waiting on the couch to hear the next story that had accumulated from this relationship.
"We broke up, she's a bitch."
"Oh really? Didn't know." Matt said full of sarcasm.
"Seriously man, that was horrible, next time, please just beat the shit out of me before allowing me to go through that, I would have felt the exact same."
"I'm sorry man, would you like to get some ice cream or something?"
"No, I'm going to call up Veronica."
"Already? Dude don't she's just a rebound, don't hurt her or yourself like that."
"I won't hurt her, I just want to talk and hang out. I promise."
"Fine, just be careful."
