TRUST ME - a Joult fanfic- Book 2

TRUST ME - chapter 11

The sky above me gradually turns gloomy, and grey clouds move in. The sudden sound of thunder makes me jump.

I hate storms with a passion, I start to walk faster as rain starts to plummet down from the sky.

The apartment is dark and dingy. I wonder down the corridor, after closing the front door behind me, making sure to lock it, I find Nicholas sat on couch on his phone.

I clear my throat. He looks up at me with wide eyes.

"Jen. Your home. Um...what happened?" He says quickly.

"Your kidding me right?" I say quietly, collapsing onto the couch. I feel a headache coming on, I start rubbing my head. Finally I say, "Because that's not even funny Nic!"

"What's not funny? Jen. What's happened? Why are you home all of a sudden?"

"Wait, what? I sent you a text. I went to Josh's....and..." I manage to say before bursting into tears.

"I haven't got a text from you Jen. What are you on about?" He says, raising his voice.

"Seriously. Your shouting at me right now?! I'm not crazy Nic, I sent you a text!" I say angrily.

"For god sake, let me show you my recent messages..." He says angrily, unlocking his iPhone. "Oh...you did send me a text."

I start to cry again.

"Sorry. I didn't realise." Nic says softly, sliding over to me and wrapping his arms around me.

Nicholas didn't get the text I sent. The message I sent him, to call for his aid. He didn't open it. Not only that, he didn't even realise that i had even texted him in the first place. Wait...I just walked in on Nicholas on his phone.

"You were just on your phone! Just then. So, who were you texting?" I say firmly.

"What? What do you mean?"

"You were just on your phone! Just then. So, who were you texting?"

"Nobody. I wasn't texting anyone"

"You liar! I know you were texting someone, you just gave it away! Tell me." I shout loudly, tears still sliding down my cheeks. I stand to my feet.

"Jen. I wasn't....."

"I'm sick of everyone treating me like I'm stupid. I've had enough. I'm not stupid, I'm not stupid Nicholas so tell me who the fuck you were texting!" I say putting my head I my hands.

"Fine!" He shouts in my face., "A friend, I was texting a friend."

"Oh really was this friend a female?"I say childishly.

"No. Why does it matter?" He lies.

"That means it's a girl. Who is she? Have you been cheating on me."

"Yes." He says finally, a word that answers all my questions but breaks my heart, for the last time.

My heart sinks, and my throat goes stiff. A single tear appears in the corner of my eyelid, I wipe it away because im sick of crying. I'm sick of being screwed over. My legs give way and I fall to the floor, I cover my face with hands.

"Jen." Nic says quietly.

"Get out!" I scream at the top of my voice.

So he does.
