I'LL SMILE AGAIN

CHAPTER 11

BELLA'S POV

It's been 3 months since I walked out of Greg's apartment crying. A lot has happened during the last three months but I've managed not to fall apart and I can't believe I will soon start senior year then proceed to graduate.

Greg has been coming to knock on my door every evening and would drop flowers and several notes explaining how empty his life is without me in it.I stare at my newly acquired collection on withering flowers, I do not just have the heart to trash the bouquet of flowers he keeps dropping at my door.

Now he wants to talk things through with me I hissed to myself, those 5 months had been the worst of my life, I'm getting better now but I can't just forgive Greg for making me bitter at myself,those months I thought I was the one with the problem.

Griiiiin, grinnnnnn, grinnnnnn...
My cell phone ring, I rush out of the bathroom and manage to get to it without tripping and falling on the floor, the water dripping from my hair made wet.
"Hello" I shout into the receiver without even bothering to check the caller ID.
"Hey bitch pick me up at the airport by 6pm" Jenny laughed over the phone.
"Wh-what?!" I replied
"I'm about to board a plane down to Cali baby"
"Really?" I asked still not sure Jenny isn't messing with me.
"Catch you later I'm about to board, love you" she said and ended the call.

I stare at the phone, then suddenly filled with energy I started humming for joy, I checked the time and it's 12:30pm that means Jenny is gonna be here latest by 6:30pm I have like 5hours to go get groceries and get ready to drive to the airport.
I put on a sweater over a skinny jeans then head out at least for as long as Jenny is gonna be here I will have company, it gonna be fun, fun and fun and it's surprising that up until this moment I didn't realize I've missed Jenny so much.

At exactly 6pm I sight Jenny as she roll her suitcase through the arrival lounge of the airport and I can't help but run and wrap my arm around her she looks tanned and skinny obviously more beautiful than the pictures I see on Instagram portrays he to be.
"Baby" she shouted hugging me back
"So good to see you again" I replied and we both gush and cooed over how beautiful each of us has grown to be.

The drive towards my apartment was filled with memories as we both can't just stop talking and in nearly a year I don't feel that weight that always seems to weigh me down no matter how accomplished I try to feel, not even when I talk to mama.

We get home and I see Greg's figure in the semi darkness hanging around my apartment and I didn't know when I cursed.
"Oh shit not again" I hissed
"What's wrong with you B?" Jenny asked
"Greg won't stop asking for forgiveness and he won't stop intruding my privacy" I replied
Hhahahahhahahaha Jenny laughed out loud
"What's so funny?" I asked eyeing her
"B you love this guy just forgive him for your own peace" she said seriously now, "no matter how I look at it I feel he's the ying to your yang" she continued. "However be true to yourself love overlooks flaws and mistakes, move past it Isabella" she concluded and got out of the shower car walking towards Greg...
______________________________________
Jenny came into the apartment with Greg behind her.
"I ordered pizza" I said to her eyeing Greg coldly
"I want him to stay for the night" she replied, standing to her full height and her expression daring to to say no.
"You know what Greg you are just too much and I can't even stand your sight anymore, you two timing bastard!" I screamed at him and head out through the front door slamming the door behind me.

______________________________________
I walk to the beach and I didn't know when I started crying, it's just too much to bear why did Jenny bring him inside my space? He walked on on us, I begged, I cried, I was ready to do anything to keep him I literally got on my knees he didn't look back, I thought I was the one with the problem he was the center of my world, my world crashed when he left and after 5month he didn't even try to reach out to me, I reached out to him, what he didn't have the courage to do I did and still he pushed me away. So many promises are meant to be broken they say I guess we weren't meant to be...
