The way we were

4

I cancel Mira's call for the tenth time in morning. I put the last of my stuff at the back of my brother's truck. Taking one last look at the house that I had spent the last two years of my life in I slid to the front seat of the truck. My brother squeezed my hand with a knowing look on his face and pulled out of the driveway.

I grabbed more tissues and blew my nose. The water in the tub had long gotten cold but I had no intention of getting out. I wallowed in self pity thinking about how things had turned around in the past few days.
I should have declined Jasmine's invitation but then if I hadn't I would have never known about Mira cheating on me.
I blocked her from all my social media handles and blocked her number. Honestly I also did her bad and I didn't know what to say to her so the best thing was not to pick her call.
My mind was battling with the idea of reporting Jayden to the police but then if  I do Jasmine will be in trouble. I sighed.
I got out of the tub and proceeded to my room to dress up. I put on the biggest t-shirt I could find with booty shorts and socks. I carried my laptop to the living room, my brother was already there watching sports highlights.
"Hey," I sat cross legged on the couch not sparing him a glance. He mumbled something.
From my peripheral vision I could see my brother was staring at me as if he could sense my troubled mind and pain heart.
"You can talk to me,I won't judge you", I sharply turn to look at him.
Huh???
"You heard me", he chuckled.
"I'm ok,I'm fine", I felt tears pricking my eyes.
I sniffed.
I put my headphones on and increased the volume to the highest and relaxed in the couch.
Few minutes later my eyes felt heavy and I welcomed sleep.
