I was pasing round the room, as Milah's advice kept running through my head "he doesn't love you just dump him, your too good for him. It about time you boss up and be a real woman, your not a child any longer, Abigail, you have to be a real lady". I have to be a real lady, maybe he doesn't love me but I do. I put in all my hope in our relationship and even looked forward to marriage. He was perfect. Well that's what I believed, till I saw pictures of him cheating, honestly, it's not the first one, but I chose to believe it was photoshopped, but this time the picture is coming from my best friend , she'd never mean harm. I guess I have to do it.
While still in my trans the door opened, "hey babe, I'm back" , he kissed me on the cheek, this is too much to be true, I stared in teary eyes, at his brown hair , falling on his heavyly lashed blue eyes. "Why do you look sad, c'mon did you miss that much?" I gave a faint smile, maybe I can have him a little longer, irrespective of his act, he leaned in to kiss me, but thinking of all the different girls faces and lips his been all over. "Dave__" "oh we're calling names now, yeah, Abigail" "it's over" "*chuckle* cute, what is exactly?" "Us...you and.... I" I began to tear up, "Babe? Are you ok your burning up, just go sleep you tell me whatever it is tomorrow" "no I'll say it now, I..I..." I could see the world turning round , hot tears fell down my cheeks "I...." Want to break up, I wish I could complete that statement, our break up was nothing as I planned.
I woke up in the hospital with Milah by my side, "Abigail, your awake" "where's he?" "Who?" "Dave, I have to tell him, I have to..." "I told him already, it's over, your free make a life now, one that you own" I couldn't help but cry "Milah... I'm I a bad person, what if he didn't really do it...w..what." "don't be weak, your heart is your weakness, Abigail, man up and plus your health is what we should be looking at, how long have you been sick" "oh it's was just a slight headache and weakness, I didn't expect it to be this bad" "for how long?" "A week, but it was just slight" "you need to care for your health more, relax more" "ok doctor".
I got checked out, then Milah drove me home. I stared round. It was different, it was empty, quiet and odd. I guess I have to get use to it.
While moving round like a stranger in a new environment, I got a call. "Hello?" "Abigail, you said you wouldn't be late, you are the anchor of your department, if you don't come up now, I swear I'll fire you" the rest of his words were like mumurs. Ever since I first found out Dave was a cheat, life was never good. I had to live in a world of deciete, life got worse when one of his chic was my department head. I then Realised why she hated me. Dave would walk through the door of my house and pretend like nothing ever happened, and I'll just play dumb.
I guess this my time to start over. My time to begin a new life, my life.
A month later later
"Girl, I swear this party is gonna be lit" "I hear you but that's the least of my worries, I haven't been to a party in while" "you haven't been in ANY gathering for a months and 3weeks now, girl, are you still mourning over that low life" "of course not, I was just getting back to my feet and I think I'm up now" "so you'll come?" "I guess so" "great, we have a lot of shopping to do, I'll take you to the mall and you'd buy whatever you want" "we both know how much I don't enjoy spending others money right?" "Yeah, but it's not others money it's my money, and money of mine is yours".
I rolled my eyes as she dragged me to her car. Then drove to a mall. Milah has always been a blessing, she goes way back, she had always been there for me all my life. In junior high when I had no friends she was my first, in senoir high I had no one to take me for prom, she dumped hers just so we could be together and then acted like it was no biggie, yet u knew she had been looking forward to going with him, She also drop her dream University cause she didn't want to be separated from me and then this.
"Hey, Abi,are you even listening, I said I think this blue dress bring out your eye colour" ,"oh ok" "hey, why are you lost? Are you ok?" "Yeah.....Milah?" "Yeah?" "Have ever thought of it just once, that we wouldn't be together forever, one day or the other, I'll get a life and so would you" there was silence, she looked down and said nothing, "why about the red dress, I think the red one is better, it rhymes with you redish brown hair" I think I knew why she didn't reply, it will also kill me to lose that nice relationship you had with you really love.
"Yeah, Milah, I think I'd love the red one" "great go try it".
We finally bought it and left. She dropped me off "I want to go dress as well, see by 8" then she drove off. I walked into the house ,then I tiredly landed on my couch. I picked up my phone, the first thing that popped on my notification was the SG company , it had now been rewarded the best company in the country. SG was Dave's company, I swiped it away and immediately I felt a slight discomfort, I get the urge to vomit. I staggered to the bathroom and vomitted. This is like the forth time this week. I'd go to the hospital tomorrow, for now I have to focus on proving to Milah that I've moved on.
I got dressed then I hopped in a cab and was heading to the bar where it was held. I get a slight headache, just like the one I had right before I passed out while talking with Dave last. Speaking of Dave ,he never tried calling to explain at least or even chat, nothing. He just accepted it, that's how much he cared less. I got down from the car as soon as I got there. I walked into the bar, music was blasting, lights were whirling ,strangers dancing, perfect everything was perfect, but I felt that something wrong would happen.
"Heeeeey, girl, look at you, I knew the dress would look good on you" I smiled "thanks" "do you want to have a drink" "why not" we walked to the bar and I ordered a cocktail while she took a beer. While drinking a guy approached us and asked her to the dance, she looked at me and I signaled her to go, she left and I was alone til a guy came over ,"can I take a seat" he sat down beside me, I smiled "you look great ,what's your name" "I can't say, I respect home training, and my mom said don't tell strangers your name" he smiled "then how do you make friends" I laughed, we talked a bit, then he said "do you mind if I get your number?" "Nah" I gave him the number "cool, hey, wanna dance" I shrugged and we went to the dance floor, I could have sworn I felt super weak but I just kept on going, today must be perfect. He put his hands around my waist and began to dance, it was one of Malisons song, reckless. We danced slowly, I don't where I got the confidence but the I rested my head on his chest as we danced slowly. He lifted my face to his, and leaned in for a kiss, I immediately gagged, not now, not now, I pushed him and ran through the crowd straight outside , I began to vomit. Til I was done "hey you ok?" I turned back, it was the guy , before I could reply Milah rushed in and punched the guy "get away from her you freak" "what the fuck" I stared at the situation to weak to speak, everywhere got blurry and it happened again, I passed out.
Then I woke up, I was surrounded by two doctors, Milah and that guy. I stared at them, I sat up, "wh.. what's wrong" the doctor gave me some vitamins and told me to take. I took them, then he told Milah and the Bar guy to go. "Hey doc, are we ok?" "Yeah, everything's fine, the guy that came, is he your husband?" "No?" "Oh, fiancee then?" "No?" "Boyfriend?" "Doc ,why the wierd questions" "well ,good news , you are two months pregnant....." Yep that was all he had to say before I passed out again.
