3 Months Later:
"This one?" Jamie held a white and purple dress in front of her to show me how would it look on me. These past few months had been so easy on me and I thank Jamie and Roy for it.
They were always there for me as a supporting friend, like a good family.
"Nah!" Roy and I said in unison. Jamie was the only one doing something, Roy and I had been seated on a perfectly comfortable couch and sipping through fresh juice all this time.
"You are not doing anything." Jamie narrowed her eyes at Roy, who was busy taking my pictures. I was having fun saving these memories, he also taught me how to make a perfect pout for pictures.
"Seriously, that's enough for today, I'm tired." I sighed, pissing off Roy, which was my favorite hobby. Walking out of the mall while holding hands with Jamie, I giggled along with her.
"You left the bag inside." Roy scolded Jamie, who eyed him back, they both excused and ran
"It has to be for you." Jamie continued with the massage and stated while brainstorming at the same time, "Yep! It is for you." she bobbed her head while watching my face."Must be for Scarlet, he never loved me anyway." I shrugged my shoulders, acting like I don't care. I had already done that before and it took me nowhere. I left him 3 months ago when I saw his engagement post."But the way he reacted to our drama today made me think maybe he was suffering from some kind of misconception," Roy stated as he kept looking through Ryker's Instagram on Jamie's phone. They were dissecting every single post by him like an investigator."Yeah misconception of me never going to move on from him, and by the way, even if so, he should have talked to me. When you love someone, you fight for them. You don't just randomly believe in any shi* and break up with your lover. It feels like he was making an excuse in his mind to breakup with me." I
"Irvin!" Jamie's words repeated in my head, shaking me in my skin. It can't be happening right now, just when I thought I had finally escaped the bad people, I invited him right to me."Jamie do you know what you are saying?" I questioned in fear and shock. My head was hurting and my mind not working. Jamie turned around to watch my face after my voice came out in terror. She scanned my face very confused and then proceeded to approach me."Why, why do you look so scared?" She interrogated, her eyes scanning the fear on my face. She stopped right in front of me and kept staring at me in the hopes of getting an answer."This guy Irvin is horrible; he is the reason I'm wandering around with no specific place." I found myself shivering uncontrollably. I hadn’t felt this fear in so long that I had almost forgotten about how to deal with such fear."Kathleen you must have mistaken him with someone else." Jamie was confident that I was wrong, but I knew t
We all three sat silently, looking at each other like we have nothing to say. So much happened in such a short period of time. I was going through hell in my heart because this was all unexpected, why can't I ever stay longer at a place?I was gonna go back to the building where I have so many people that hates my guts. How am I gonna survive there? Not to mention, Ryker wouldn't be very nice to me either."It hurts that you have to leave like that, I was so excited for the baby." Roy was the first one to break the silence, while Jamie was sitting facing the wall. I know it wasn't her mistake, she was just trying to help.Did she look like such a baby, imagine giving birth and living with them? That would have been so much fun. Everything ruined because of one person; Irvin."I will miss you both," I announced, I didn't want to go with Ryker because he will be having fun asking me a
Ryker walked ahead of me. I felt like he knew I might be noticing him because he was trying to act cool by constantly moving his broad shoulders that I knew loved about him and running a hand through hair."Your room," we walked into the building and he pointed at the room that I used to live in before. It was such a weird feeling to be back in this building after months of living outside of it."I will need a new lock," I stated confidently. I walked inside the room and scanned it, nothing had been touched. It was just the way I had left it. Now that I was not working for them, I didn't feel like obeying them even though I was more desperate for help now than ever, but maybe staying with Jamie and Roy had given me enough confidence to at least say what I felt like was the right thing to say."Listen," he growled out of the blue once he followed me inside the room, "I'm not going to land in your room like before, so don't worry." He angrily stated, his eyes narr
He stood there like a statue for a minute before leaving the room. Once he was gone, I hurriedly text Roy to make sure some things were done before Ryker does anything.Me: Roy I need your help.I knew they wouldn't waste a minute to reply me back. They had been leaving messages to know how was it going, did Ryker say something or did we kiss? Like what the heck.Roy: tell me he didn't try to kiss you by force, I'm loading my gun.That brought a smile to my lips. He was really an overprotective brother and I was enjoying it. But I am not gonna lie, Jamie shipped me with Ryker for some reasons unknown.Me: No, but I want you to find me Mr. Paul Benson's number before Ryker talks to him.Roy: What? I knew this guy was into guys, I saw him looking at me with those eyes which made me uncomfortable.Me: What? No Roy it's not like that. Lemme call you.That's him, silly, goofy, but cute. I told him everything on the call and told him
After finishing my breakfast with Paul, he left for work while I waved him goodbye until his car was out of the view."Why aren't you telling me anything?" Ryker tailed me to my room once Paul had left. Honestly speaking, before arriving back here I thought Ryker would not care about me, but here he was, annoying me to the point that I beg him to stop acknowledging me.Didn’t he say I used him or played him? Then why was he roaming around me like an annoying buzzing me?"Because it is personal." I almost yelled but held back my exhaustion. He had tired me from all the following around and doing mental gymnastics."A personal lie? never heard of it." he mocked me because I've been lying to everyone lately. I halted in my pace and turned around to watch his face. He was standing there like a fool, acting like he was always truthful to me."Oh! You never heard anything coming out of your mouth before?" I said, folding my
"She needs to rest and take care of her health and eat healthy too," Ryker repeated what the doctor had told him and rubbed my hand that he has been holding. Ever since we reached the building, we sat in the parked car silently. He held my hand after Cain pissed me off and despite me wanting to get out of his grip, I didn’t do anything to shrug myself free."I do rest all the time Ryker," I said with my head lowered down as I felt tired."Yeah, and you stress a lot too," he added, while holding my hand and exhaling a breath full of air."You shouldn't have jeopardized your relationship with me, Ryker." I was upset because lately, he has been suffering a lot, and even though he deserved it, but you know when you love someone, no matter how badly you wanna move on from them but you just can't. It wasn’t like I desired to be back in his arms, that phase was over the moment I had a picture of Scarlet on top of him instilled
After Paul left, I laid down in my bed to get some rest, but this weird feeling inside me wouldn’t let me fall asleep. I checked my phone and had received one text from Ryker, I wondered what he was going to say nowR For Rat: After lunch, you should walk a little, slow step and should get some fresh air, by your doctor.Oh, so his ego was bruised. I get why it was but I could not get myself to forget how I was homeless again because of him. The day I found him with Scarlet crushed me from inside. In my early days of pregnancy, I needed him to be by my side, I wanted us to enjoy every little detail, but everything was stolen from me because of his stubbornness because he was ready to sacrifice our relationship and not his ego.Me: Okay!I got up very lazily and left the room, debating if I should walk to the roof or just walk downstairs. Well, even though the roof had many memories attached to it, I still deci
