Can't Have You (#wattys2019)

Part 29

Patty walked down to the kitchen the next morning. "Hey Nonna." She greeted and kissed her cheek. "I want to apologize for missing your party yesteeday." She sat down on the counter, drinking cold water. "I was just so tired." She lied.

"I understand, don't worry about that now." Nonna put a plate with omlete in front of her. "Now eat, my great grandson is hungry." She smiled.

"Great grandson?" Joe laughed sitting down next to them. "You are calling someone else's baby your great grandson? He is a child of an idiot."

"Joe!" Nanna warned. "Silence now!"

Patty put her fork down and wiped the tears away. "Yes his father is the biggest idiot." She spat back at the oblivious Joe. "Nanna thank you for everything I have to leave now." She hugged the old woman that was like a familly to her, kissing her cheek. "I promise to call you every day."

Nanna was hurting but she understood why Patty wants to go. "I love you, take care of my little pumpkin." She giggled, rubbing her tummy. "Joe will give you a lift to the airport." They both protested but at the end Nonna always has the last word.

"I'm gonna miss you soo much." Monica hugged her, wipping her own tears away. "I wish you could stay a little longer."

"Just promise you will visit me." Patty cried holding on to Monica's hand. "I miss you two already."

"Let's go I have somewhere to be later." Joe opened the door for them, walking out.

Nonna gave Patty one last hug. "I'm sorry. He acts like a child when we should be loving you twice as much now."

Patty was sillet because if she opened her mouth she would run after him telling him the whole story. She opened the car door and sat down, relaxing in the soft chair, closing her eyes.

Neather one of them said anything until she heard Joe cursing under his breath. "I hate to be stuck with you as well so you can just shut it." She rolled her eyes.

"Why did you came? To rub it in my face? To remind me that you fucked me while fuckimg someone else? To trick me into being with you...?" Joe screamed like he never screamed before. The pain he felt in his heart eas too much.

"I never asked you to be with me." Patty whispered. "I told you to leave but you wouldn't."

"Don't play saint now cuz we both know you ain't." He spat at her, looking straight to her eyes. She never knew her already broken heart could break more but it just did. "What did you want because we both know you weren't after my money?" He furrowed his eyebrows and took this fight to another level of hell. "Oh I know, you did this to get back at me because I fucked you when I was engaged with Julia." He chuckled. "Guess what baby, you weren't that good in bed and hell you were not worth it."

You know what people say, when you are silent in a fight? That's when you realize that you have nothing left to fight for. Nothing left to love. And that's exactly what Patty realized.
