Chasing Hollywood

Chapter 20

"Ezra! Ezra!" I screamed. I had to wipe my tears away so I could see his face.
"Ezra!" I screamed louder, shaking him awake.
"What?" I looked into his eyes, just staring.
"What happened?" He demanded. I threw his phone at him.
"Turn your screen on." He looked confused and did it. His face turned bright red, as he pinched the bridge of his nose. He ran his fingers through his hair
"I can explain." He began.
"No. How could you? Was I just something to kill time? Answer me!" I cried. He was staring at his feet. "Answer me!" I yelled.
"It wasn't suppose to happen," he said, then continued "I knew her before I met you. She had my attention in every way possible. We were going to get married, but then I met you."
"Is this what you do? Date girls, promise them to love them forever?" I cried.
"No. When I met you I didn't know what happened to me. I told her how I felt about you, and I broke it off when we started getting to know each other." Ezra tried to grab my hand but I pulled it away. He looked pitiful.
"When you went missing, I fell in a dark hole. She- I mean Hailey, helped me out if it. I didn't want to lose hope on you, but day after day there was no word or sign from you."

"You slept with her didn't you?" I said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen." It had felt like he stabbed a knife into my heart and cut all the way down. I wiped away my tears. I pinched my lips together and nodded my head. I threw my rings at him and got up.
"I'm sorry. Please forgive me." He pleaded
"Forgive you! Why would I forgive you. YOU CHEATED ON ME! How can I just forgive you?" All of this had me shaking. He came over to soothe me.
"Don't touch me!" I got up and walked out.

I got my phone out and called my aunt. It rang a couple times
"Bay dear, how have you been?"
"Can I come stay with you for a little?"
"Bay" Ezra pleaded
"Of course you can honey."
"I love you." I hung up. Ezra stood in the doorway.

"Danielle and Jaden are going to stay with me and my aunt for awhile."
"Bay, don't do this."
"This is what you wanted. Isn't it? Go back to your mistress, give her my rings because I'm pretty sure they were meant for her anyway." While I was packing my bags he still continued to change my mind.
"I want you, and only you."
"Stop. I don't want you to change my mind. Did you know that I'm crazy in love with you? Hmm I don't think you know that." I was still packing my bags and then I stopped.
"Is she prettier than me? Am I not good enough for you? Tell me why."
"No. You're more than enough for me."
"Liar!" Ezra was the one crying now. He deserved every bit of pain coming from me.
"I love you."
"You don't love me. You love the thought of loving me." I hissed.
"That's not true." He pleaded.
"It is! I don't even know who you are anymore!"

"Danielle honey, come on. We're leaving."
"You can't take my kids."
"They're staying with me because they're my kids. You need to figure out what you're going to do." I said. Danielle walked downstairs to me and looked at me.
"Ready sweetie?" She nodded her head. I grabbed Jadens diaper bag and put her in the car seat. Danielle grabbed my hand and lead me to the door.
"Bay!"
"Ezra." I shut the door.
