Hitchhiker

The fight

But she never got the chance, he had slept when she was in the bathroom trying to gather her courage, she didn’t get even a wink of sleep that night her eyes fixed on the ring, he woke up early and she pretended to be asleep, he left the room and came back later in the afternoon telling her they were leaving. She looked at the man sitting beside her now and sighed

“What’s wrong? You’ve been sighing since we got in the car and that was one hour ago” Freddy broke the silence

“Nothing I’m just tired” she said and looked out of the window

“Nonsense! You slept the whole night why would you be tired” he said

“It’s true I’m tired”

Of you, of this life and this stupid ring she mentally added

He looked at her suspiciously but for once dropped it.

Maybe I should just tell him now? Oh no! This isn’t a good timing I should just wait until we are back and talk in the comfort of the house, thoughts battled in her mind, she sighed absent mindedly and realized too late.

She closed her eyes waiting for it.

“This is ludicrous! Tell me what’s wrong and why do you keep sighing” he said through gritted teeth

“It’s nothing really I’m just tired, don’t worry” she tried

“Now don’t make a fool of me Olivia, how can I not worry when my fiancée looks to be in some distress” he almost yelled but took a deep breath

Fiancée, fiancée, fiancée.

The word repeated in her mind and left a bitter test in her mouth

“I can’t do this” she snapped

“What?”He asked glancing at her briefly before looking back at the road

“This, us I can’t marry you Freddy” she gestured at the two of them

“What do you mean you can’t marry me?”He asked through gritted teeth

She took a deep breath

“because I don’t love you anymore”

“Nice joke Olivia” he laughed

“I’m not joking, I don’t love you anymore and I won’t marry you” she could feel her anger flare

“Then why the hell did you say yes to me yesterday?”He shouted gripping the steering wheel tight

“Would you rather have me say no to you in front of the whole crowd?”She scoffed

“What the fuck are you talking about?”He yelled, she winced, she was never a fan of swear words and he knew it

“I mean to say, I was planning to tell you two weeks ago but then you’re never around anymore” she narrowed her eyes at him

“And whose fault is that huh? You’re the one who kept pushing me away I’d kiss and you’d leave abruptly, how long has it been since we last made love? Yeah nine months, nine fucking months” he yelled

“Oh! So it is my fault?”Her nose flared, anger overcoming her so fast

“Fucking yes” he spat

“Don’t you dare pin the blame on me, you were the one who started making excuses on our nights out, you went out and came the next day drunk and I was there your maid, your nurse taking care of you” she yelled, her anger getting the best of her

“Oh! So you want me to say thanks?”He scoffed

“I don’t need some stupid thanks from you, you’ve done enough and I’m not marrying you” she said her voice so calm as if she wasn’t yelling a few minutes ago

He laughed “I guess I was right all along”

“What do you mean?”She asked tentatively

“You’ve been cheating on me, haven’t you?”He scowled at her

“You’re pathetic” she laughed bitterly

“Not all of us are like you Freddy” she added and her guess was confirmed when his eyes widened

“You knew” he stated masking his shock with a smirk but she saw through him

“As I said not everyone is like you Freddy” stupid, she wanted to add

“Yeah they were good in bed unlike you” he spat at her

But she didn’t want those stupid words getting to her, she said nothing.

“That blond in the hotel, I fucked her right before I proposed to you and that’s where I was the morning after and all the other days, she’s so good” he said with a disgusting smirk on his face

“You’re disgusting” she spat at him

“Yeah and you’re an uptight bitch” he spat right back at her

She couldn’t believe he just called her bitch, she was furious, she pulled off the ring angrily sure enough it would leave a bruise

“Yeah and thanks lord this uptight bitch didn’t end up marrying a disgusting, cheating, alcoholic pig” she spat and chucked the goddamn ring on the dashboard

He pulled over so fast, that if it wasn’t for the seatbelt she would have been chucked out the windshield like a rag doll but the seatbelt knocked the wind out of her. He got out of the car while she scrambled to undo the seatbelt.

“Get out of my car” he yelled at her yanking the door open, she was still shocked, eyes wide and her heart beating so fast.

He yanked her out of his car his hand biting into her wrist hard leaving a bruise, he pushed her and she landed on her hands. He went back in the car and pulled out her suitcase from the back seat and her purse from the front seat were she was seating a few minutes ago throwing them at her.

“I don’t want to see you ever again, you’ll find your things on the front door and I’m not responsible for their safety” he shouted at her got back in the car and drove off.

She still couldn’t comprehend what just happened but one thing was for sure she was stranded and middle of nowhere at that.
