dieciocho: truth hurts

The next morning, Venus woke up in Oscar's bed, a smile plastered across her face as the sun came through his windows. Last night, Oscar was so gentle with her, and he made her feel loved. She liked it. Sure, she was sore a little bit, but she couldn't ask for a better person to give her virginity to. Was she a virgin?

Venus laid there in the bed for a few minutes, just smiling up at the ceiling before putting on Oscar's shirt over her underwear and bra. She left the room to go to the bathroom, then she walked down the hallway and stopped when she heard voices in the living room.

"So, what now? You're just going to dump her?" Sad Eyes asked. "You got what you wanted from her, right?"

Oscar sat across from him and shrugged. "I mean, yeah, but I don't know. I didn't expect her to date me before letting me hit it."

Venus' smile left her face as she hid around the corner so no one could see her. "Fool, I told you. She's sentimental, she's not just going to give her body to you like the rest of these hynas. We all told you this from the beginning."

"We also told you that you shouldn't play her." Pablo added, the other guys agreeing with him. "She's gonna be hurt, you know? She's never let anyone in as much as she let you in. If it's really bad, she'll move back to Cuba or the Bronx. And she was already uncomfortable with guys, now she'll have trust issues."

"Look, I had sex with her. That's all I wanted. Now that I got what I wanted, I don't know if I dump her or if I stay with her and keep having sex with her. I like her, okay, and she's good in bed. Might keep her around until I get bored."

The guys scoffed and shook their heads. "You have a whole girl in prison, and you want to keep Venus around? What happens when Alejandra gets out? She's already sent people to jump Venus."

Oscar shrugged and Venus threw her head back. Why are you so stupid, Venus? "Yeah, what happens then, Oscar?" Venus spoke up, causing everyone to jump and turn to her.

"Hey, estrella." Oscar dragged out, standing up even though Venus was glaring at him. He thought she looked good in his shirt.

"That's all I was for you? You just wanted to get into my pants?" Venus asked, voice cracking halfway through.

Oscar looked to her, then to all of his friends. "I mean, it started out like that, but-"

Venus chuckled and quickly wiped a fallen tear. "I let you get close to me. I told you things not even my family or best friends know about. I let you get close to Luis to the point where he was thinks you're his dad. All that, and you just wanted to sleep with me?" She asked, this time she wasn't even bothering to wipe her tears. Pablo made a move to comfort her, but Venus yanked her arm out of his grip the second he grabbed it. "And all of you knew? I told you how I felt about him, and you just let him go through with his scheme to fuck me and leave me?" Venus yelled. "You know what, fuck all of you."

They all watched Venus disappear back down the hallway and turned to each other. "Told your ass."

"Why are you talking? We all lost her, not just Oscar." Sad Eyes snapped.

Oscar went down the hallway to his room so he could talk to Venus. "Baby, it's not like that anymore."

Venus changed, her back facing him and she completely ignored him. She was back to her jeans and white crop top from the day before, her face stained with tears. "Anymore." She laughed, her voice getting choked up because of the tears.

"Venus, I-"

"Save it. Lose my number, don't talk to me, or Luis, or even my parents. Why don't you go back to your girlfriend?" She snapped, pushing pass him, only stopping when he pulled her arm back. "Get your fucking hands off of me." She yelled. Venus yanked her arm out of his grip and sent him one last look before walking away.

Oscar saw a whole bunch of things in that one look. Sadness, disappointment, betrayal, and hatred.

The cholos all watched their ex-friend run out, slamming the door behind her as she ran out to her car to get away from them. Oscar was right behind her, going after her and trying to get her to open the door so they could talk. "Venus, open the damn door!" Oscar yelled at her.

As she quickly backed out of his driveway, she flipped him off. Oscar watched her speed down the street until her car disappeared and the cholos all watched him from his porch.

Venus drove down a few streets before pulling over because she could barely see through her tears. Venus turned her car off, slumped into her seat, then she screamed in anger and sadness before she broke down into sobs.

Venus slammed her head into the steering wheel and continued to let everything out. She trusted him, she loved him, and then she found out the truth about him. He never wanted her, he wanted her body and the pleasure it could give him.

Venus sat there crying, ignoring the people that gave her looks as they walked by, for another 10 minutes. Venus never had a real relationship, but the heartbreak she felt now was painful. She wasn't sure she could consider her and Oscar's relationship a relationship because she was the only person that had her heart in it. Then it got crushed and broken.
