i woke up and looked around. i was still in joey's mansion.
i checked the clock and it was 9.56am.
someone then knocks on the door and comes in. it was helen.
i let out a deep breath then smile.
she serves me, what i assume is, my breakfast.
"mr birlem had told me to tell you that once youre done with eating, he wants you to meet him outside" she spoke.
i nod then she left the room.
i sigh then ate my breakfast then afterwards, i walked to the bathroom and took a shower.
i got out of the shower then looked around for my cloths.
where the heck are they?
i scoff then wear yesterday's outfit; joey's sweater jumper and my black jeans.
i walked downstairs with the tray of plate and empty glass and anastasia walked up to me, "please, let me help"
i smiled then hand her the tray.
i then walked out of the house and i saw joey but his back greeted me.
"joey" i spoke.
he then turned around with an emotionless face.
i then walked towards him, "heyy"
he didnt reply. i pursed my lips then i said, "did i do something wrong?"
he stays quiet then i looked down.
i then felt someone's finger tilting my chin up. joey's eyes meets mine.
he then collides our lips and i quickly fell into the kiss.
he then pulls away then lays his forehead against mine. our nose touching.
i admire the pair of eyes which met mine. i could feel our souls just dancing with one another, which is very childish of me to actually think that.
he then parts his face away, "go, your uber is coming"
my brows furrow, "what?"
"go, mon beau"
"w-what do you mean?" i felt a lump in my throat.
"leave. never come back here and never see me and never contact me again" he spoke then turned away, leaving me frozen.
i held his wrist and he froze then i said, "i-i thought we were leading to somewhere."
i could hear him let out a sigh then he mutter, "no"
"w-wait what? after jace literally broke my friendship with him? now youre telling me to leave? did- did i do something wrong?" i spoke. my heart aches.
"ive thought abt things.. and you were right. we were never a thing to begin with" and with that he yanks his arm out of my grasp and he walked inside his house, leaving me and my heart aching.
he kissed me..
but he doesnt feel the same way..
i cleared my throat as my uber arrived.
i got in my uber and told the driver my address.

once i arrived at my house, i walked in and i saw my mom watching tv. she looked up at me then stood up, "where have you been?? i was worried sick"
"i" i cleared my throat. "i was at a friend's"
she sighs then quickly hugs me then i hug her back.
my tears left my eyes as i started to feel comfortable with my mom's hug.
she then pulls away, "whats wrong?"
i wipe away my tears then i lied, "i just missed you"
she smiled then i went to my room.
i plopped on my bed and i couldnt stop feeling the verge to just cry. i lost everyone ive loved (except mom ofc) and theres no doubt that loren and aiden would want to be friends with me anymore.
i lost jace bc of lexi. and bc my heart chose joey. i lost joey bc he doesnt feel the same way.. and i lost my heart to joey. i lost my friends to jace. i lost everything that kept me going with my life.
i then hid myself in the oversized sweater that i was wearing. then i could smell joey's scent. i cried even more.
we were never a thing to begin with.
those words felt like a knife just went through my heart, stabbing me many times as those words clouded my mind. i remembered texting joey those exact words. and maybe.. he was just the same as me when i said those.
or maybe he didnt. maybe he told leah to just tell me that he was breaking himself so id give him another chance... and also the chance to steal my virginity.
fuck- he stole my fucking v-card.
and also my heart.
and i feel so empty. and dead. inside.
it saddens me.
i broke him through text, by saying those words. and he broke me, by saying those words, in real life. and those words slam into my face, multiple times.
i could still hear his voice, saying that exact sentence thousands of times, haunting me.
i shed more tears, numbing my eyes.
i dont know the reason that torn us apart. the reason he suddenly told me to never contact him again. the reason that brought us here, at the edge.
at this point, i was crying at no end.
