The HeartBreaker

Chapter 4: Stood up

Up top is the dress that she wears along with the shoes^^

Abigail

I don't even understand why I had said yes to him yesterday but here I was, dressing all fancy to go out to god knows where with Jake. Just something about him seemed so off to me but I couldn't wrap my head around it and for now, I was going to let it slide. He seemed so bossy and controlling when he kept asking me out and in the end I had said yes but I have never backed down, so what makes him so different?

I had my fair share of boyfriends when I was younger, I even got cheated on by the one I thought I would spend my life with but I went over to his house and found him in bed with my own 'best friend', I was so furious that I egged their house and even dumped red paint on them and then I went home and cried until I had no tears left and I kinda fell into a depressed state. Luke was there to help me and all but nothing seemed to cheer me up, then on top of all that my dad, died of cancer. My mom lives in Florida, with her sister, Jean. I miss her but I seem to never have enough money to see her. I wiped the tear that fell and applied mascara and lipstick and I was finally done with my outfit tonight. I wore a black dress with a slit in the thigh, black high heels and I even curled my strawberry blonde hair for once.

I sat on my chair and waited for Jake to come. I checked the clock on my microwave, 7:30, great 30 more minutes until he would be here. Theres something about him, that invites me in. Although I have kinda known him for almost a week, it feels like I have seen him before but I can't really pin point it. He's a good looking man, well reserved, seems smart and has a way with words and I guess he does get what he wants.

I was nervous at first when I said yes to going out on a date with him, I haven't been out on a date in a long time since my ex. I was trying nee things and maybe just maybe this wouldn't end so badly. I was actually happy for once and I hoped that tonight would be a good night and I would have some fun.

Look I'm not saying 'im ready to start a relationship with Jake' but it would be nice to meet someone new, ya know?
I look over at the clock and it said 8:15, where is he?

Did he bail?

Maybe he lost interest in me?

Stop! I was not doing this, I wasn't going to sike myself out. About a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door and a smiled appeared on my face as I walked over to open it. It faded when it was only Luke but he was spiffed up for something.

"Hey Abs, what are you so dressed up for?" He asked, as he looked me up and down.

"Uh...I was thinking of going out to the bar." I said more as a question than a statement. I couldn't tell him I got stood up.

"Really? I was just about to ask you to come with me to the bar!" He exclaimed and engulfed me in a hug.

"Lets go." I said and headed out my door and locked it.

One thing that I thought about the entire ride there was that: Jake had stood me up.

***
After about 5 drinks Luke was drunk and tripping everywhere. We went to a bar called "Singles" It was a popular bar that everyone went to but I wasn't fond of bars or going out for that matter.

It never seemed interesting to me to go out and party. What did catch my eye was Jake sitting in the corner or the bar  and he had company with him. The man looked to be about in his twenties maybe thirties and they looked real friendly and a pang of hurt shredded though me and I got pissed. I told the bartender to give me 5shots of tequila and he looked hesitant at first but obliged anyways.

After I downed the last shot, I felt the tequila working through me and it felt great. Luke walked over to me and went to grab hold of the counter but missed and manged to drop the glass and that caught everyone's attention, especially Jake's and I made eye contact with him and I regretted it. He looked guilty or something but I didn't care. I picked Luke up and walked outside and shoved him in the cab and told the driver where to drop him off at.

I walked to the back to grab his car that we came in. I was about to open my door when I felt a hand on my shoulder and I knew it was Jake's. I shrugged it off and opened the car door but it was slammed shut.

I spun around to yell at him but I came face to face with him and I could smell his cologne. I looked up at his eyes and they were focused on my lips. I backed up and bumped into Luke's car.

"Don't fucking touch, look or even speak to me. What do you think you got out of by standing me up? I tried not to think about it tonight but do you know what it feels like? I don't even know why I trusted you, what a stupid girl I was or am." I spat at him and I could feel the effects of the tequila now but I didn't care. I was hurt and angry at him.

"Abigail look, that wasn't my intention to hurt you, if you just let me explain." He said and walked towards me but I placed my hand on his chest to stop him.

"No, save it. I don't wanna hear any bull shit that comes out of your pathetic mouth. Does your mother know how you treated me tonight? Or yesterday?" I spat again and he tensed up and clenched his jaw.

I was shoved up against the car and suddenly Jake was in my face and I could feel the anger and a hint of hurt radiating off of him.

"Don't you fucking dare talk about my mother,ever!" He roared and suddenly I got scared and a tear escaped and I knew he could feel how scared I was,he backed away and guilt washed over him. I fumbled with the car keys and opened the driver door and closed it shut and locked the doors and sobbed. I rested my head in my hands and just let it all out, I felt weak for crying but I was scared,angry and hurt. Maybe a tad drunk but I didn't care.

I finally turned the car on and backed up and I saw Jake standing in the same spot he was, with his hands balled into a fist.

Never again am I speaking or looking at him.

That was the last thought as I drove home and parked the car. I ran into my house and slammed the door. I jumped in my bed and cried myself to sleep.
