Warning*** Strong Language in this chapter!!! You have been warned... Now on to the story!!!!!!
How could he? He told me I was his world and he would do anything for me. The pain I am experiencing right now is one of the worst pains I have ever felt. My heart is racing and my face is flushed. My face is red and raw from all the tears that have fallen from my eyes. My nose is sore from all of the times I have wiped my nose. I would start to calm my breathing and then something would happen and my tears and my shallow breathing would happen all over again. Ember and Kamilla have been trying to get me out of bed for the past couple of days. I'm getting really tired of them constantly bugging me and trying to pull me off my bed. It got so bad that I decided that I was going to hang blankets from my ceiling to hide me from the rest of the world. That took so much energy and once I was done I hid and put my headphones on and decided that I was going to watch depressing movies to help break my heart even more than it already is.
I have not spoken to anyone in the past couple of days, the only reason I have left my bed was to go to the bathroom. I haven't eaten or had anything to drink. Although Kamilla keeps pestering me to at least drink some water. She tells me that I really need to drink something or my headaches are going to get worse. Ever since I put up my walls to block everyone out she has started opening the blanket a little to place a bottle of water on my bed. She has done this a few times so if I decide I need to drink some water I will have a couple of bottles to drink from. I don't deserve these two. They are trying to care for me and I keep pushing them away. Something tells me that I should continue pushing people away. I don't want to feel this pain anymore. I don't want to get to close and lose them and feel this betrayal again. Jess was a really good friend and I trusted her and look where that got me. Brokenhearted and without the love of my life and a supposed good friend.
"Xo?" this voice surprises me. It was not Kamilla's or Ember's. It was a man's voice. My heart started pounding. How could they let him in here? Don't they see what he has put me through?
"Go away!" I shout. My voice was a lot stronger than I thought it was going to be, even though it did break a little.
"Please let me explain," he pleads. He sounds heartbroken too. But I am not falling for that crap again. He always apologizes and then goes right back to the same BS.
"No, I've heard enough of your shit Ash. Just leave me alone." How could he just show up unannounced and expect me to listen after I found out he was sleeping with my friend. Not only that, I am ashamed that he has affected me so much that when he shows up I am hiding from everyone andI look like crap. This shows him how much he affected me. How could I be so stupid.
"Xo, please. Nothing happened!" This statement is what pushes me to jump out of bed and punch him in the face.
"How could you!? You fucken liar! Why would you lie about staying the night at her house if nothing happened?" I pause waiting for an answer. "HUH? Stumped you didn't I? Cause if nothing actually happened you would have or should I say should have told me you fell asleep on her couch. Plus I know how you get when you're drunk. You will screw anything that moves."
He is staring at me in shock. I have never really yelled at him let alone punch him in the face. I was just so pissed off that he came here to lie to me all over again. I may have been naive to think that he cared about me and would never do this but I'm not stupid. I can smell the lie. "Xo, I'm sorry. I messed up and I will never do it again! I promise. I need you in my life. You are my only sunshine, when you're not in my life it is so dark."
His lines may have worked on me in the past but not now. He crossed a line that he can not cross again. "Ash, we are done. I'm not falling for your lines anymore. I loved you and what did you do? You slept with a friend of mine. You know what makes all of this worse? I trusted both of you." I can feel my tears threatening to fall again. But I can't let him see me cry over him anymore. "You need to go."
"I'm not leaving until you take me back."
Just as he said that Nick came barging in the door. I've never seen him so mad in my life. His hands were clenched in fists and his face was bright red. He looks ready to fight someone. "Oh and you're so innocent in all this?" Ash questions turning to me after seeing a seething Nick.
"What the fuck does that mean?"
"You know what I mean. If you weren't cheating on me then who is this toothpick who looks like he wants me dead?"
"That is Nick. My friend. Nothing happened between me and him and you know what? Why am I explaining to you? Obviously you will believe what you want."
"Like I am going to believe that because he is so mad, and if you weren't cheating with him why would he be so mad?"
"BECAUSE HE IS A GOOD FRIEND WHO CARES ABOUT MY FEELINGS! WE ALL WANTED TO HURT YOU WHEN WE FOUND OUT YOU WERE CHEATING! UGH HOW CAN YOU BE SO BIG HEADED?"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! I'M NOT BIG HEADED! I JUST KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE! THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON BETWEEN YOU TWO!"
"WELL THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER TO YOU ANYMORE ANYWAY! WE ARE OVER! NOW YOU NEED TO LEAVE!"
"Like I told you I'm not going until you give me another chance."
"I really don't get you at all. You claim that I cheated on you but you want me back? That is so dumb. I will never take you back, you prick. You better leave before I call campus security to haul you away."
"Fine, but know this is not over yet. You will hear from me again." He promises before he storms out of the room slamming the door behind him. As soon as he was gone I collapsed on the ground in a fit of tears. I am bombarded with hugs, by Kamilla, Ember, Nick and even Erin. She came running out of her room when she heard all the yelling. But I was too wrapped up in my argument to even notice her joining Kamilla and Ember waiting to jump in if I needed them.
Ash scares me and that thought makes me cry even more. It is so scary that he flew all the way here and did not leave with what he wanted... I know he will keep his promise and that is what scares me. He can be a scary dude and he will do whatever it takes to get what he wants.
