Arranged marriage

Pick Up The Pieces

"What happened?" Tejah sat by my side as the paramedics wiped the newly done stitches.

"This girl...she walked up to us and started flirting with Jay. He wasn't having it so we left. A second later I got a picture of him and the girl kissing at a park." I sighed making a long story short. "I flipped out and packed my things and left."

"Did he say anything?"

"He said that she forced him but he looks fine to me." I sighed and pulled up the picture showing Tejah.

"Maybe...there is a chance he could be telling the truth. I mean he's not responding to the kiss."

"Yeah, but he didn't freak out and say fuck off either!"

"Let's wait and see. If he doesn't do anything in a week than obviously, he doesn't care." She continued. "If he wins your heart again then happily ever after. But maybe you should try asking him. I mean people aren't always the best...maybe the girl really did force him somehow?"

"Who am I kidding? I can't compete with this girl. Look at her!"

"If you ask me her ass, boobs, nose, lips, hips, and hair is probably fake." She shrugged and gave back the phone. "She probably also had some lipo."

"Haha." I sarcastically laughed glaring at her.

"What did he do other than that?"

"He was about to cry...he wouldn't let me go through the door." Jay's grass green water eyes flashed into my mind. Why do I miss him?

"That says something!"

"I don't know, Tejah...but what if he's lying?"

"What if he's not?"

"Whether He's lying or not it really hurt, Tejah."

"If he doesn't do anything in a week then I'm gonna beat his sorry ass until his dick turns blue."

It was Friday and I was in the house crying most the time for the past day. Tejah forces me to go to a popular café that just opened. We got there and I ordered a muffin with a coffee and Tejah ordered the same but gluten-free.

"How are you holding up?" She asked taking a sip of her coffee.

"I haven't slept in two days, I have huge bags under my eyes that can fit the whole magic school bus cast. I'm doing great." I gave her an exaggerated smile.

"Has he called?" She rested her chin on her hand.

"35 missed calls and 20 texts," I said reading the screen on my phone. I sighed and put my head down my hair falling around it like a protective barrier. Maybe he just gave up on me? Great, I said I wouldn't be a pity...maybe I'm being too hard on him? What if he actually did cheat? I started to hear a guitar play a song. I knew exactly what song it was. It was one of my favorite songs of all time. Crazy in love by Eden Project. I smiled and felt a wave of dread hit me. I picked up my head and saw Tejah smiling.

"I think the prince came through." She smiled at me.

"I look and stare so deep in your eyes. I touch and touch you more each and ever time." I turn my head to the beautiful voice and froze in place. Jay...Jay was the beholder of this beautiful voice. He smiled at me and continued to sing. He finished the song and I realized that I had held my breath the whole time. He placed the guitar on the ground and held the mic in his hands and walked up to me. Whispers and chatters filled the room as everyone's eyes were on us.

"Jay, what are you..." He grabbed my hand and made me stand on my feet. I looked up to his startling green eyes that were full of guilt and sorry.

"Sila, I know I fucked up real bad but I swear she forced herself on me. I'm crazy for you and never in a thousand years would I imagine myself here. I love you so much and I can't express how much I miss you. I miss your touch, the warmth if your skin...I miss your smile, I even miss you slapping me for being an ass." He was saying all this in the microphone and I felt my cheeks turn scarlet. "Your childish games and beautiful voice buzz in my ear every night You're gone. I love you more than anything in this world and I wanna beat myself for ever breaking your heart. Sila, I love more than myself and I can't live without." I bit my lip trying to hold back the tears.
