La Vida Loca

Ch.26 Thats That

GIA'S POV.

"Gia, Gia" I hear my name being called.

I'm still in bed sleeping wrapped up in my blankets comfortable as fuck but Manny is trying to wake me up.

"Hey" he says throwing something at me.

"What??" I ask annoyed as I roll onto my stomach.

"It's 1 in the afternoon girl wake your ass up" he says.

"I got some food yours is downstairs I already ate, I gotta bounce but when I come home I'll change the rims on your car alright?" he tells me.

I have black rims on my car but I'm putting new ones cause I'm tired of the ones I already have.

"Okay, what time are you coming back?" I ask rolling onto my back.

"Like 5 or-" he says but then gives me a strange look.

"Gia what the fuck happened to your face??" He asks coming over to me.

Oh fuck I forgot about my eye.

I grab my phone and look at my eye.

It's worse.

More purple and swollen, definitely bruised.

It's only under my eye not actually on my so at least that's good otherwise I wouldn't even be able to open my eye if it was.

"I got into a fight last night, with some girl, at a kickback we we went to" I quickly lie.

"What girl??" He asks.

"Just some bitch" I lie horribly. He got me there.

He looks at me crooked.

He knows how much of a fighter I am and knows I would never let another female fuck me up like this.

I've never lost a fight or ended a fight with any type of injury.

"Gia" he says trying to get the truth out of me.

"Manny" I say mockingly.

He looks at me with a look like he's wondering if I'm really being honest.

"Well that shit looks bad, ice it or some shit, like a bitch back handed you, I'll see you later" he says then walks out my room.

A bitch did back hand me.

I get out of bed and change.

I put on a fresh pair of bra and panties then some jean shorts and a light gray tank top.

I go stand in front of my mirror to put my hair in a ponytail and notice how bad my eye actually is.

I get angry and hurt looking at it.

Anthony did that to me.

I grab my makeup bag and pull out everything I need to cover it up.

But as soon as I touch it it hurts way too bad.

There's no way in hell I can rub a bunch of makeup on it.

At least not today, it's too soon.

I exhale a breath and just go downstairs.

I sit at the table and eat my food Manny got me.

I pull out my phone and see I have 10 missed calls from Anthony and 4 texts saying he's sorry and wants to talk.

I suck in my lips.

I dial Shy's number.

I explain to her everything that happened and ask her if she'll go with me to Anthony's house so I can get my purse I left last night.

If I didn't have my wallet containing my license, I.D, credit cards, $125, and my house keys in my purse I'd say fuck it and just leave it there.

Cause I do not wanna see him.

Shy agrees to go with me and is on her way to pick me up.

So I run up stairs, slide on some flip flops, and put on my black RayBan sunglasses to cover my eye.

When she gets here I go outside and get in her car.

"Girl, let me see now" she says sliding her sunglasses to the top of her head so she can get a good look.

I slide my sun glasses up and look at her.

She gasps. "Oh my god Gia!" She says covering her mouth.

"Anthony did that to you??" She asks.

"Yup, he just threw his fist across my face" I tell her as I put my sun glasses back on.

"Damn, are you gonna break up with him?" She asks.

"Hell fucking yeah I am, after Ricky I promised myself I wouldn't put myself through that bullshit again no matter who I was with" I tell her.

"Good fuck that foo if he wants to do that shit to you you don't deserve that" she adds.

"What did Trigger say? Has he seen it?" She asks.

"I lied and told him I got into a fight with a girl" I tell her with a sigh.

"Why?? I mean come on everyone knows no bitch would even be able to scratch you" she says.

"Cause I know Manny will fuck Anthony up if he found out he did this shit to me just like he did to Ricky, and as much as I would love that it's just more drama I just want to cut Anthony off now" I tell her.

I get a lump in my throat.

Even in this case breakups are hard, you get so used to a person after a while.

When we get to Anthony's house I text him letting him know I'm outside so to bring my purse.

"Want me to get off with you?" Shy asks.

"Nah" then I see Anthony come outside. "I'm just gonna be right here" I tell her then get off the car.

He looks hungover and guilty.

"Can we talk" he asks. "Give me my purse Anthony" I tell him.

I can't even look at him.

"Please just talk to me Gia I'm sorry I, I didn't mean for that shit to happen!" He says apologetically.

"I don't care, it did happen! Look what the fuck you did to me!" I say taking off my sunglasses.

Right when he sees it he looks away and sucks in his lips.

"You ain't shit to me anymore Anthony!" I say getting teary eyed.

"YOU fucked everything up, you need to forget about all that bullshit now cause there is no more us, and there never will be" I say quietly.

"Gia nah, nah don't- just give me another chance come on you can't end shit this way" he says.

I can see the hurt in his eyes.

I look at him and shake my head.

"It's over" I say quietly.

He looks down and nods.

He hands me my purse and I open the car door.

"Gia" he says. I sigh and turn around.

"I'm sorry" he says then walks away.

I get in the car and say nothing. Shy doesn't ask anything.

I just wanna go home.

Alone.
