Mistakes Are Tragedies

Chapter 20

NATALIA
(The night they came back from Wales)

"NIGHT Guys" I bid goodbye to Dalia and Fabian but if I'm honest, mainly towards Dalia. After sleeping with Fabian, I've realised what a mistake I had made. I cheated on Antonio and he had been so good to me. Why did I have to go and mess it all up?

Slamming the door shut, I make my way up to my apartment complex and unlock the door. Straight away, I'm hit with the smell of booze. I release a breath as I look around me. Bottles everywhere.

I walk further in and see a pair of thongs on the couch. I pick it up from the label and notice it isn't one of mine. Shuffling of footsteps are heard from my bedroom and then giggling. Stomping towards the room, I open the door and see not one but two naked women and... Antonio.

"Antonio!" I scream yet it doesn't faze him. He sighs and sits up and looks at me bored.

"What?" His sharp glare makes me ease down my anger. Memories of the night I slept with Fabian flashes past my eyes and soon I realise that I can't be mad. Yet, why do I feel betrayed? Oh yeah, it's because he doesn't look guilty. He doesn't seem like he regrets it.

"What is this?" I gesture around the room. The two women hurriedly get their clothes together and leave the apartment.

"See what you did! You ruined my night"

"Your night!? Antonio I'm your fiancé. You just cheated on me and you don't feel bad?" Tears spring to my eyes.

"You shouldn't have left Natalia" Antonio gets up and slips into his boxers and then tracksuit bottoms and shoves past me, bumping my shoulder in the process. I follow after him towards the kitchen.

"I had too. I was being there for my friend"

"Your ex boyfriend you mean"

"It doesn't matter. He's still my friend, a really good one." All of a sudden, Antonio slams his hand on the table, turns to me with fury in his eyes.

"I don't care! You left me!" I close my eyes and take a deep breath in. I can't do this. I just. Can't.

"You can't keep doing this. You can't keep drinking and...." I look on the table and see plastic packets. I pick it up and see a bit of white powder in it. "And taking drugs" I lift the packet and show him. He shrugs and leans against the counter. "You can't keep sleeping around whenever I'm away. You promised the last time. You promised that was the last time. Why did you even propose to me if you can't keep it in your pants!?" I scream at him, my throat beginning to hurt.

"Don't you dare scream at me" he stands straighter, telling me off sternly. I scoff and close my eyes, breathing heavily.

"What are you going to do huh! Hit me? Take your shot!" My hand finds its way to a beer bottle and I throw it at him. It misses him and smashes into a million pieces against the wall. "YOU CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS TO ME!" I feel like I've become a mad woman.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO NATALIA!?"

"Stop being this monster. This isn't the man I fell in love with!" I gesture to him and keep throwing things at him. Whatever my hands could reach, I throw them at him.
