For a moment I thought it was Jack but, just one person had my spare keys...
My mum
I walked into the room as I heard the screeching sound of a frame to the ground
"Jack what are you doing?" I half screamed
"Who was that" he asked ferociously
"Who who?" I asked sounding confused but deep down I knew what he meant
"You now sleep around with men Lisa" he concluded
"Yes I do, with all said and done can you leave my room?" I said pointing the door like he didn't know his way out and stressing on the 'my'
"I will choose when to leave. You don't tell me what to do" he yelled almost at the top of his voice
As he spoke my attention drifted to the shattered frame on the floor. I stood there staring at the pieces
"What do you want from me?" I asked almost in tears
"Lisa" he called out my name
"do you have anything against my personal happiness?" I asked
During moments like this I wished I wouldn't get all emotional
"Why would you say that?"
"Why wouldn't I?" I snapped
"When I told you I was done and over with the relationship I meant every word. The earlier you get that, the better for you" I said now raising my voice
"Lisa I choose when this is over not you" he said moving towards me, our eyes meeting
What I didn't get was why he was here and how he got in here
"Oh! I see, I'm sure you had another bet over me right" I said, not knowing when the words left my mouth. His eyes left my gaze almost immediately and he stared at the wooden chair by the bedside cupboard. I knew it, my head screamed
"Answer me" I said fiercely
"I'm sorry Lis, at the b..b.. beginning it was just a game but not anymore believe me" he said calmly
I stood there, dumbfounded. I felt my world crumbling all over again
"That's in the past now" I said fighting back the tears which threatened to fall
"I'm Sorry" he said softly
4th time in 2 years he had actually used that phrase
"Apology accepted, trust denied" I snapped
"Lisa please"
"What are you actually pleading for?, what are you actually sorry about? asking me out because of some bet and leading me on for 2years? why didn't you just stop after you won the bet or something?" I said while sobbing
"I didn't realize until now Lis"
"Telling them I was raped was fun for you right?" I asked as I used my hands pushing his head to make him face me
"You know what" I said looking at him eye ball to eye ball
"what Lis?" he sounded submissive
"I didn't actually loose a boyfriend, I just realized I didn't have one" I said imagining how my tear streaked face looked right now.
Who cares about how I looked right now when I actually felt worst
"Are you seeing someone already?" he asked sternly
"You saw things for yourself right?. I moved on, you should try that too." I said drying my eyes
Almost immediately my phone started ringing...
"Liz it's John, doctor John" I knew it was him.
Bad timing a small voice in my head whispered
"H..H..Hi" I said stammering, I was trying to fight back the tears
"You forgot your purse in the car" he said calmly.
I hadn't even realized it, maybe if Jack wouldn't have started the drama I would have noticed
"oh!" That was all my brain could come up with at the moment. I really didn't know what to say
"I could come give you at your hostel now" he said
"if that will be okay by you" he added
If he came the probability Jack would attack him was high and I didn't want another scene, I thought silently
"Thank you but, I'll rather come for it" I said now having a grip of myself
"Are you sure?" he asked sounding concerned
I'll do anything to leave this room, I silently said in my head
"Yeah sure just text me your address, Please" I said calmly
As I hung up, Jack gave me dagger stares but I really didn't care.
"I'm leaving, when you decide on leaving too, don't forget cleaning up this mess" I said as I pointed the broken frame on the floor
He looked at me as if he was trying to assimilate my choice of words
"How did we get here" Jack asked
"when i realized I deserved better" I said as I grabbed my bag and slammed the door
Settling for less than I deserved wasn't an option, I told myself as I moved out of the hostel. I then I realized it was still raining.
Even the clouds do cry sometimes, I thought as I hurriedly entered a cab.
