People.could be really strange. After I had the call, I couldn't think straight but I thought it wise not to think about it since people played  pranks on phone for fun.

I didn't know why girls packed a lot of dresses for a few days trip, not that I was an exception but I knew I was better than most girls, especially my best friends.  I honestly couldn't wait   to see how enormous their bags were.

I could not remember how but I found myself waking up to my ringing phone. "How did I end up sleeping? Arrrgh...".

"Esme, it's urgent we need to talk".

Why did Leon want to talk to me now?. I wondered.

" Alright where are you?".

"Will be at yours in 10 ".

" See you soon".

Leon and I had been dating for 3 years.  He was such a darling. I knew we weren't going out on a date but I couldn't help but  bring myself to changing into a hot tank top with a tattered and tight designer jeans. My parents were out on a business trip so I had the house all to myself.

What would you have done if you were alone with a very hot guy in a room for some hours??.
Would have done exactly what you're thinking about. Would've killed him on the spot. Lolxx....just kidding.

Taking another look at him, I realised he was not being his usual self. He wasn't all over me, begging me for kisses and wanting to hold me.

"What happened to your cheek?", I asked.

" Nothing".

Liar. "I've missed you ".

" Sit and let's talk".
If a guy you were dating said this, then you obviously knew what was next. But I refused to think so since Leon and I were meant for each other , well, that was what I thought.

"Esme, we can't go on with this relationship."

"But why?". I spoke like a pathetic little girl asking her parents why she couldn't get an ice cream.

"I love you no more."

"Please tell me this is a prank", I cried out to him.

"I'm sorry we didn't end well". And without any explanation, he left, just like that.

I refused to cry but I just couldn't control it. Leon's words kept ringing in my head. But how!!, I asked myself expecting an answer from myself, which I clearly didn't have. What right did he have to hurt my feelings..... My friends kept  calling me and I assumed they had found out because I got a notification from tiktok and Leon was live... He had  Brittany with him. They kept sucking the air out of each other. Didn't we just break up?. Did these three years together mean nothing to him?. How could he??... Annoyed, I slammed my phone against the wall and went to bed with tears falling from my eyes and my pillow soaked in my tears. 

****
After Leon broke up with me, I woke up the next morning with a serious headache. What did I expect to get after all that crying....

I entered the bathroom undressed and stepped into the jacuzzi with my headset on. That was the only thing that could make me feel alright. A hot bath and music always did the trick for me.

"What the f**k?". That was the only sentence my mind could process when I opened my eyes to see Daphne and Maria.

" Thank God ",Maria said.

"Thank God?", I asked feeling confused.

"Well, we might have heard about your break up, we tried calling but you answered none of our calls and we weren't in town so we couldn't come immediately, we just thought something might have happened to you. You made us worry.",Maria said.

" Esme, we know you're really hurting because he was your first and you really loved him. But you will definitely be okay....

"I know we are having a moment but I need some privacy so you guys should shoooo...leave... I will be out soon".

"Oops, we're leaving", Maria said as she almost fell which caused me to laugh hard. Feels good.

***
"This video explains the scar on his cheek. He's a jerk with no brains. It's good we broke up. I can't believe i wasted my tears on him when he had been cheating on me all this while.", I said full of anger and heartbroken as I watched the video Daphne showed me. A video of Leon denying me as his girlfriend and telling his friends how boring I was... I held back a tear. He was not worth it... It soothed me to know people I didn't really know will stand up for me. I didn't know this guy who hit Leon, as he badmouthed me. But I was grateful. Not for the violence, but for the fact that he cared.

"We have a trip ahead of us. Let's forget everything and have fun". I tell them. Deciding to forget everything that had happened in the past 24 hours.

"Then let's go",Maria said.

Some few minutes later, I found myself in Maria's car going somewhere I had no idea about and singing to Freaky Friday on top of my voice with my best friends.

Yay, first chapter completed.... This is my first book. Will try to update soon. It might be short but I tried. Hope you enjoyed it.
