"Please, I'm sorry"

Love Ups And Cut Offs

"Has she Rye?" Jorja panicked "Has she?"

****JORJA'S POV****

Rye turned his head and looked at me. He nodded his head slowly and started crying into his hands. I walked over, tears in my eyes and hugged him. He cried on to my shoulder. And I did the same on his.

I thought she had stopped. Like totally stopped. She promised me just the other day on the phone that she hasn't done it.

"Th...This is all my f...fault" Rye stuttered.
"What do you mean?" I asked, weak.
"T. The fact she's on life support and cutting again. It's all my fault. If I didn't cheat. Then she wouldn't be here. We'd be at home. Watching a movie. And she'd be in my arms, telling me how much she loves me and how that if me and her wasn't together that I'd have to be with Andy. Or how she thinks Jack and Mikey are secretly together. With Brooklyn laughing at us." He cried.

"Ryan, the fact she is on life support is not your fault. The fact she's in hospital isn't your fault. She was stood in the middle of the road and she wasn't paying attention. Stop blaming yourself for that." I said "And the cutting. If I know T as well as I think it's because she thinks it's her fault that you cheated. Like she wasn't good enough. And the sad feeling that you get when you have heartbreak. I remember what she told me last time. She said it was all too much to handle. And she wanted to be numb because of the pain"

"Yeah! It's my fault because I caused her the pain. I wanna take it all back" he cried even more.
All I could do was comfort him. I didn't know what to say. I wasn't Trish. Honestly 6 years ago. When we was close. I probably would be able to tell him why but she has changed. So much. I can only tell him what I think I know.

Me and Rye sat and talked. He told me all about the cheating. And to be honest from what he has said. It sounds like something Vanessa, his ex, would do. She always tries to get what she wants even if it includes hurting people.

"You need to cut her off Rye" I pleaded "All she is gonna do is ruin your life. And if you get back with T. IF. Then she's gonna try and ruin that again. You know what she's like. She won't stop until you tell her to."

"You're right, Jorja. And I've tried but she won't seem to listen." He smiled weakly.
"Pass me your phone." I said.
"What!? Why?!" He questioned.
"Just pass me your phone" I demand.
He unlocked his phone and passed it to me.
I searched through his contacts until I found Vanessa. I pressed onto her contact and rang.
I stood up and tapped my foot as it rang. Rye looked at me concerned but I gave him a look of reassurance.

"Hey Vanessa? I'm giving you a warning. Contact Rye again and I will destroy you. I mean my words. You do not know me. But I know all about you. Like I said. This is your warning. First and last. I can become your worst nightmare within 5 seconds sweetie. Contact Rye and I will ruin your life. Bye bye hun" I said and hung up before she could say anything. I meant it. I meant everything I said. If she thinks she's gonna do that. Then she can think again. Vanessa doesn't know what I'm cable of. And if I was her, I wouldn't want to find out. Passing Rye his phone back, he gave me a shocked look.

"If you thought I was messing then think again. Like I said Rye. She's gonna ruin your life if you don't cut her off. And if you can't. I will." I said walking back to my seat.
"Y..you didn't have to do that though. Thank you I guess" he replied.
"I did. And no need to thank me. I get vicious when I want to be. Just look at Jack's back" I winked at the end.
"Ermm. Didn't need to know that. Thank you!" He giggled.
"What! I like to leave my mark. And hickeys aren't enough. Scratches last longer. Plus in Vanessa's case, she should be scared. I haven't taken my anger out on anything or anyone for quite a while so I'm ready to knock her lights out. Or break her car. Or even put her windows through." I laughed back.

"That's nice of you to do that for me but you don't have to. And like I said, I don't need to know AND I don't want to know what you and Jack do when you are fucking" he said, giggling at the end.
"The only reason why I'm doing this is because you mean a lot to T. And to Jack. And to me. If you didn't I wouldn't be doing this at all. Plus I can't stand Vanessa. I want to see her afraid." I said, smiling at the thought of her being scared.

"Why?" Rye asked.
"Because she hurt T. She emotionally blackmailed you. You got drunk and had sex with her. And you regret it. And you are sorry. But Vanessa is happy about it. And she thought that you and her were back together. And when Trish saw it, she was hurting. Turning to Brooklyn to make her feel better. And he was. He was doing a better job than you. Which is what she said on the phone but she was probably saying it out of anger because whilst you and her were together she told me that you made her happy. Really happy. And that when she's sad and wants to just be sad she can't be near you because you make her laugh and smile" I told him. He smiled at the last part.

We sat and talked until 12:30pm.
"Oh my gosh. Is it really that time. I've been here for six hours" he rubbed his eyes tired.
"You should probably get going before you get caught here. Plus you look like you need sleep" I laughed.
"So do you. Get in the Uber with me. Just tell the doctor to tell one of them that you've gone if they turn up soon" he said. I nodded and told the doctors before I left.

As we pulled up at the boys house, Rye paid the driver and I walked up to the front door.
I looked at Rye as I waited for him at the door. He gave me a look as to just go in.

I went upstairs to Jack's room and climbed into his bed. Luckily he was still asleep in it.
"W..what are you doing here" he said in his morning voice.
"I'm here to go to snuggle with you and get some sleep" I said taking off what I had on and throwing one of his tops on.
"How did you get here" he asked.
"I got on Uber with Rye. I was on my way to Nele's and I saw him walking. So I offered him a ride home and thought that I might as well come and sleep here, with you. Instead of going to Nele's" I said, climbing into his bed.
"I love you, you know that right?" He said putting his arm around me and kissing my forehead.
"I love you too" I said before falling asleep.
