All At Once

Chapter V

Thursday, 17th of July (7:00am)

"Hey, I'm Georgia. Is this William Campbell's apartment?" a sexy girl whose make-up almost  make her a party clown greets me in the door after responding to her urgent knocking.

"Apparently, yes. But, how can I help you?" I answer groggily while rubbing my eyes.

She tried to walk inside but I stop her. "Oh, so now you're his new girlfriend? Look, I have something to tell him."

"Of course not. He's not my boyfriend, missy. We're just friends. Anyway, let me call him for you two to have some sweet morning face-to-face conversation. Okay?"

"Uh-huh. If I'd ever find out that you're flirting with him, I'm gonna kick you out here. Away from him and me and our child."

"Whoa, wait. You're child?"

"Our child. That's what I'm going to tell him. I've been a month pregnant."

"Oh, okay. Well, congratulations. I'm gonna wake him up for a second."

I bolt to his room and bang his door, "Will, are you there? Can you please open the door?"

"Oh, hey, baby Natty. Good morning. What are you frowning about?"

"Don't call me that especially when your sweety preggy Georgia is out there in the living room waiting for you."

"What?"

"Don't deny on me. You're still meeting some girls out there and, of course, I'm also out of here. I don't want to see you again."

"Natty, I can explain this. She and I didn't even have---"

"Nice friendly argument. Oh, hi, Willy, how are you, baby?" Georgia asks and she kiss him and I ran to my room, pack my things and ran to the front door while Will calls my name repeatedly.

Natasha. Natasha. Natasha.

What a stupid name. His voice echoes in my mind but I keep on running away. I'm glad that he didn't catch me. Probably because he's busy now kissing with his Georgia.

I check in the nearest hotel and stay for the night thinking about what happened this day. I've been hurt. Once. But, not again. Not by Will. He's a jerk, as I said earlier. 

Friday,  18th of July (1:30pm)

While watching a movie in my own room at the hotel, a knock in the door startles me but I open it anyway. He's in his jeans with eyes so heavy I think that he didn't sleep last night.

"Hey."

"Who are you?"

"Oh, come on, Natty, I'm sorry for the delay in finding you. You didn't understand the entire situation yesterday."

"Didn't understand? And I'm not a lost and found thing, okay? Look, I don't want to be found. You better leave me now or I call the police."

"You don't have to. And I'm sorry for everything. Georgia's out of her mind. She wants money out of it and I don't give a shit about her financial issues. But, did you ever wonder why I have so many girlfriends?"

"I don't have answers for your stupid, not so funny questions. I want you to go. Now."

"If that's what you want, I'll do it. But, if you ever need someone, visit or call me. You know the apartment and my number. And, I'll be always there for you." he whisper before turning around and walking away.

Friday, 19th of September (5:30pm)

It's been almost two months ago when Will stand before my room's door. He never came back again and I'm glad and at the same time, sad because I'm beginning to think that I have no one else to talk to.
