•A Taste Of You•

✨ emptiness ✨

Jacob's POV

Three days. It's been three days since Natalie walked away and I haven't left the room. I haven't eaten anything except for 3 granola bars.

Why did she have to do this me? Why did I even fall in love?

I unlocked my phone and saw that my memo was open.

I froze. The memo which I hadn't used in a long time was open. The memo containing all the names of all the girls I had one night stands with were open. The memo which had Natalie's name in it was open.

I never put Natalie's name in it. I would never put her name in it. She was just any other girl. She wasn't just any other of my one night stands. She was the girl I fell in love with.

All the sadness and remorse I felt for the past three days left me and it was replaced with pure rage.

She left because of a misunderstanding. She left me because of that bitch who i should've fired before. It doesn't take a genius to realise who did this.

Stephanie may have tried to seduce me many times before but she was still diligent in her work, making her one of my most trusted employees.

I knew she was the one who added Natalie's name on the list because she was the only one other than Natalie who knew my phone password because sometimes if i couldn't pick up a call in time, I would ask her to unlock the phone and call the person for me.

I didn't know how she knew that I had a memo titled, "Girls"

I checked the day and realised that today was June's wedding. Even though June and i have been getting along well with each other, i was hurt to know that she hadn't told me about the wedding until a couple of days ago.

I finally decided to call June who had left me with other 35 missed calls.

"Hello?" I said, as soon as i heard the call get picked up.

"Jacob? How dare you ignore all my calls? I was so fucking worried about you. And what happened to Natalie? I thought you genuinely loved her. She was crying, you know? And don't even think of coming here. Ethan will have your head on a spike and to top it all, TODAY IS MY WEDDING! I don't know what the fuck happened between you and Natalie, but you are coming today. I sort of hate you for treating her like that but who am I to tell you that."

I bit my tongue so that i didn't cry.

"Tell me what actually happened between you two in the wedding. I need to go wear my gown. At least be happy for me."

With that she cut the phone. I sighed. I then decide ed to call May.

"Hello?" I said.

"Cubz? OMG! You actually bothered to call back after those 63 missed calls and 121 texts."

"I'm sorry." Was all I said.

"Don't be. June told me about what happened between you and Natalie. At least she told me Natalie's point of the story. Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not now. I don't feel like talking. In fact I don't feel like doing anything at all. I feel nothing."

"If you don't feel like talking about it, you don't need to. I'm not forcing you. But you are coming for the wedding, right?"

"Yes. I wouldn't dare miss it."

"Great. You know when it starts right?"

"Ummm no."

"What kind of brother are you? It starts in two hours but since we are her direct family, I will come and pick you up in half an hour. Get ready." With that she cut the phone.

**After The Wedding**

I walked into my apartment after telling May my goodbyes. She had asked me if I wanted to tell her what was wrong but I told her that I would tell her that some other time. I also didn't get to talk to June because she was busy with other guests. Thought I felt almost empty on the inside i was happy that June finally married the man she loved.

I took out the frustration that had been built up inside me on the wall. The ring i had bought with so much love was siting on the table. I grabbed the box and smashed the ring on the floor. The ring effortlessly bounced off.

The fact that the ring didn't break despite using almost all my strength on throwing the ring angered me even more, so I went to the washroom and flushed down the million dollar ring.

I pulled my hair and screamed. Screamed, because the ring didn't break. Screamed, because I was broken on the inside. Screamed because the first and last love of my life had left me in the dirt.
