Tales Of Amiya

Chapter 8: April's Fools

My days are being merged together; I don't even know what date it is today. What is life? I don't have Dmitry anymore and I feel like my whole heart breaks every time I see him. He doesn't return my calls or texts  and when I stop by the car mart he ignores my presence. How did we reach at this point? Oh I know – my father. But there is nothing I can do about the order that was given. I have to go through this; it's a part of life – heartbreak. I have been ignoring my friends for a few weeks now and I will continue doing same until I am ready to share what's going in my life. There was a knock on my door; maybe if I don't answer the person will go away I thought. Hopefully. I woke up with a splitting headache I just want to stay in bed all day and mope but I can't.

"Ami, it's me Junior open the door." I dragged myself out of bed and open the door to see Junior holding a tray with peanut porridge, apple wedges and a glass of water.  "Whoa, you look awful"

"Aww how sweet, thanks and I know"

"April fools! I didn't mean it like that" he chuckled, entered the room and places the tray on the night stand. "You should eat Amiya, you look really skinny"

"I know, it's just that I haven't really been hungry. I am going through some things right now" I shrug.

"Do you want to talk about it? I mean if you're ready, you've been like this for weeks"

"Sure" I sat on my bed while Junior pulls a chair to the bed and sat in front of me. "Um my boyfriend broke up with me and I really miss him" I looked down and fiddle with my fingers, it's the first time talking about this with anyone.

"Oh. Well kiddo, you will get over it, the pain will not last forever." He reaches over and held my hands in this. "You do not need a man to be complete. You are a strong, confident and brilliant young woman."

"I know Jahmeir, but my chest hurts badly. I have never experienced anything like this before. He won't even talk to me and when I see him, he acts as if I am nothing to him." I broke down and started to cry, I couldn't hold it in any longer. Junior sits beside me on the bed and hugged me. "How could he treat me like that? It's not fair."

"I know baby girl, keep your head up please I can't stand to see you unhappy" Junior sighed "I know how you feel. I remember when Jennifer broke my heart. Fucking selfish bitch-"

"Hey! Language please and she is my friend so be careful with your choice of words" I scowl him.

"Sorry Ami, every time I remember I get upset all over again. But my point is" he continues "Some people only come in your life for a reason, to be a blessing or a lesson. You can't hold on to people whose time has expired from your life. Try to let them go not for them, but yourself. For your peace of mind and in time it will get better."

"Thanks Junior. That was deep. I know I will get over it one day" I sniffle "You should talk to Jenn, I am sure she she would want to hear from you. Call her sometime or something, she is pregnant and needs all the support she can get right"

"W-w-what? Jenn is pregnant again? But I was careful" Junior rubs his hand over his forehead.

"Careful?" Wait, what? Again?

"Yeah, we hooked up a while back before her mom sent her to Trinidad to visit her grandmother the ending of last year"

"Wow, so you both are just here living double lives. Lying to me like you hate each other."

"We never lied. We just didn't tell you and I will never hate Jennifer. I just dislike her right now and there's a difference. She was horny and so was I, we just fucked."

"Too much information Junior. But anyway you should call her."

'I will. I am just surprised that she's pregnant" a silly grin appear over his face. "Ami eat your breakfast and mom says once your through she and dad wants to talk to you."
