《First one》Seventy-Nine: not you're baby anymore

Advertisement

As soon as I caught a glimpse of the two bitches walking into the diner and my ears were deafened by their stupid high-pitched squeals, I felt my eyes roll to the back of my head. This shift couldn't get any worse, could it.

Don't come over here, don't come over here. Damnit they're coming over here. I noticed as I wanted to sink away behind the counter. I wanted to disappear for real now cause these two were worse than a set of horny college guys. "Oh hi there, look who works here... That's a coincidence." Olivia said, taking a place at one of the stools at the bar, her cousin following her. I'm sure, I'm sure it's a coincidence. I felt my eyes roll again. "What's up?" She said with an ominous grin on her face.

"I'm working as you may or may not notice." I continued cleaning the counter like they weren't there, but Olivia grabbed my wrist to continue to speak.

"Rumor has it you and Mia are no longer friends?" She said, as I pulled away my wrist from her nasty claws.

"Are you here for gossip or are you going to order something." I scoffed at her, not answering her question.

The smirk on both their faces grew larger the more I tried to deny it. "I guess that's a yes. Ha! I knew it." The girl next to her, Jess was her name, I guess. That's what Lukas told me last time at the club.

"Are you going to order something?" I said, taking out my notebook and a pen. Olivia rolled her eyes at me, like it was something new. "And who told you that?" I couldn't resist to know where the rumor started.

"Two vanilla milkshakes." That Jess girl said dry, pulling of the bitchiest face of bitch faces. It tried to ignore that to the best of my abilities, taking the order.

As I turned around to take the note to the kitchen just behind me, I heard Olivia's annoying voice speak up again. "We ran into Mia earlier today. She couldn't stop talking about how much she hated you." If I would have turned around, then I would have yelled something again. Instead of letting them get the better of me I didn't turn around and bit my lip. Yet the thought of Mia telling them about our fight and about how much she hated me broke my heart. Again. She hates them just as much as I do, how could she tell them. Guess she hates me more now...

I gave the note to the kitchen and waited while I fell back into a hole. My life couldn't go more up and down than right now. Lukas being my only ups, the only thing I could hold on to before falling into a ravine. If I were to lose him, I was going to break completely. The thought of him abandoning me like everyone else in my life made my stomach twist to the point I thought I was going to throw up. He's not like that. He loves me when everyone else hates me. He would never h-" The soft ring of the kitchen bell telling me the order was ready pulled me out of my thoughts for the second time today.

Much against my will I took the milkshakes and carefully rolled towards the corner of bitches, setting them in from of Olivia and Jess. I didn't want to speak to them, not even in the slightest, not even if Gregory would pay me double to do so, no matter how hard I needed the money.

Without granting them a look I wanted to turn away, Olivia's bone crushing voice stopping me in my tracks once more. "You can't blame Mia for breaking up your precious little friendship... After all who wants to be friends with you?" I heard her chuckle, the anger boiling in my palm and the damage done by her words making my heartbeat throb in my head.

I turned around, watching both of them taking a sip from their milkshake with a smirk pasted across their faces. I'm so done with this! I could bite my lip as hard as I wanted but at this point I was a ticking timebomb waiting to explode. I just couldn't take it anymore. All of it.

Before I could say or yell anything that stupid Jess opened her mouth again. "Must suck, first losing your best friend and now your pretty boyfriend too." She said viscously grinning at me, leaving me completely confused at the sound of her words. What is that bitch saying?

"What are you talking about?" I frowned my brows at her, the sickening feeling in my stomach not getting any better.

"That your lovely Lukas has followed up on his own reputation again. All. Behind. Your. Back." Olivia decided to add herself to the conversation.

"I still don't know what you're talking about." I frowned my brows, my pulse sounding through my head as I became anxious. My throat felt tight, making it hard to breath and even though I didn't know what they were talking about I felt like I was having a panic attack just by the way they were grinning at each other. They were here for a reason, and that reason wasn't a vanilla milkshake.

"So nobody has told you yet?" Olivia grinned, smiling widely while throwing her head to the side. "Guess Lukas already got sick of you. Just like I predicted." She smirked; her eyes filled with pure evil.

"Will you please freaking tell me what you're talking about." I said, if anything trying to control my breathing. I felt like I was suffocating, not knowing what they were talking about, leaving me guessing like that and knowing me I was already guessing the worst.

"Lukas cheated on you sweetheart." Jess grinned even wider than Olivia, chuckling at her own words.

"W-What?" I shook my head as my jaw dropped. I knew this was what they were trying to say, that it would come to this but I couldn't believe it. He wouldn't. Don't throw up. I'm gonna throw up. This isn't true, he wouldn't. Breathe......Breathe. I had to calm myself down before I was going to have a panic attack. "No. No you can say all you want but it's a lie. You're lying." I half yelled at her, my tone aggravating the smirk on her face.

"Shall we show her?" Jess nodded at Olivia who giggled in return. I need to breathe. I felt hot, my skin sweating, and my ears started to ring.

"Yeah, show her." Olivia said, completely making fun of me with her words, with the way she looked at me, the way she held her posture.

"Show me what." I panicked, my voice cracking, trying to push out sounds through my tight and sore throat.

I followed Jess's movements as she took out her phone and went into her messages, smiling at the screen before putting the phone on the counter, showing me the message. "Read this." She chuckled. While my heart was beating out of my chest, I started reading the messages.

: Good morning Loverboy. Didn't see you on campus this weekend. I wanted to invite you to my party... Maybe some other time??

: We could have fun together? You know we would.

: I know you Lukas, you're always in for some fun

: Just say yes. One time/night. That blonde book worm of yours can't possible offer you the things I can.

😏: Will you leave me alone if I say yes?

With each text, my heartbeat quickened even more, sucking the blood out of my face and making my fingers tingle. Breathe Bella, breathe. Come on don't panic now. This still doesn't say he cheated. This proves nothing. He did apparently think about it. He's considering saying yes. Lukas don't do this to me. Please, you didn't.

I looked up, swallowing down my emotions, trying not to faint as I saw the image of Lukas on top of Jess floating through the air in front of me. My bottom lip was uncontrollably trembling. This was the drop, the scissors cutting my lifeline. They just pushed me into the ravine I dreaded falling into.

"By the way, sex with Lukas is amazing. Loved it how he moaned my name. He's so nice and big too." Jess pushed the knife the text had put in my chest even deeper, sending me over the edge. I didn't feel anything. How was I supposed to feel when all the love had just been sucked out of me? I was freaking angry right now, unable to control myself, this being the moment I lost everything I had left.

"You fucking bitch!" I screamed, rapidly taking the milkshake from the counter and throwing its contents in Jess's face before the glass dropped to the floor. The bitch had it coming! She was pushing Lukas to cheat, and he was dumb enough to fall for it. Throwing the milkshake at her wasn't enough to calm me down as I was now a woman who had nothing to lose. I was raging when I threw my hands at her direction grabbing onto her dirty hair as it was covered in vanilla shake. I pulled her halfway over the counter. "You ruined my life!" I yelled more, tears flooding from my eyes and I grab a hold on everything I could that was hers, my nails digging into her clothes while she screamed for Olivia's help. I wouldn't let go, determined to pull every hair from her fucking head until two arms grabbed my waist in an attempt to pull me away.

"Bella, let go. It's okay!" Audrey's voice yelled, engulfing me, taking my attention off Jess. I hadn't even realized what I was doing, this wasn't me, I lost it, I completely lost my mind. As soon as I came to my senses my hands relaxed letting go of Jess's auburn hair leaving Audrey, Olivia and Jess in shock, including myself. "It's okay." She repeated as I let myself fall into her embrace, trying to catch air. "Breathe Isabella. You need to breathe, or you'll pass out." She whispered, her hand stroking over my head as we both eased onto the cold floor. I didn't even realize how heavily and fast I was sucking in the air around me until she pointed it out.

"He...He cheated on me Audrey." I breathed, dizziness overtaking my mind as the air I was breathing wasn't enough.

"You bet he did, fucking weirdo." I saw Jess's head popping over the counter, throwing in another punch.

"You!" I yelled, seeing red as I tried to squirm out of Audrey's arms, going at her again.

"What is this mess!" An angry man stormed towards us. Urrrgh Gregory, I swear to god now is not the time to bitch, I can't fucking take it any longer. I'm sick of it. I'm done. With everything. "You!" He said fumingly pointing at me, only this time I was just as angry as him. He painfully grabbed my arm to put me back on my feet. "You did this?" He yelled at my face, his breath fanning my nose as he pointed to the mess that was milkshake over the counter, on Jess's disgusting head and broken glass on the floor.

I looked at Jess and smiled. She covered in milkshake and her hair completely messed up, her fake extensions sticking out on different sides of her head. I couldn't contain the evil smile on my face while everything else in my posture was filled with hatred. "She deserved it, and I'm not apologizing." I scoffed at Gregory. Right in his face. This isn't me, but life is pushing me to be something I'm not.

"You don't have to apologize, you're fired." He yelled for the entire diner to hear. I should be crying over this but instead I felt the corners of my mouth turn up into a smile.

"You know what Gregory." I laughed while untying the apron around my waist. "Go fuck yourself! You don't have to fire me, because I quit! You can stick you're fucking sexist uniform up your nasty ass." I yelled while throwing the apron at his face. "I'm done with this joint! I don't care how much it fucking pays, nobody should put up with such a money hungry perv of a boss and the things customers do around here." I yelled, catching the few customer's attention as even Jess and Olivia stood their utterly chocked at my sudden confidence. "That's right people!" I said rolling to the dressing room but not without addressing the customers on my way. "He doesn't care if the customers grope the waitresses, he only cares about making some good old money." I yelled, closing the door of the dressing room behind me.

I took those god damn skates off as fast as I could and shoved my clothes into my backpack. With force throwing it over one shoulder. I needed to get out of this place and fall of the face of the earth as soon as possible so I didn't even bother to put on my shoes, taking them in my hand instead. He cheated on me! Life is really having a good laugh with me. Fucking assholes, fucking bitches, fuck my life. Fuck Lukas. I'm so pissed right now I can't even breath. Arrghh I want to punch something! I'm losing my mind! I don't care anymore! I'm done, so done.

I walked back out, finding everyone staring at me with shock on their face, accept Audrey who was untying her apron too, throwing in on the counter next to Gregory before walking into my direction and giving me a wholehearted smile as she crossed me on her way to the dressing room.

"You're not getting paid for today!" Gregory yelled as I stormed past him.

"I don't care!" I bit at him before forcefully pushing the door open, my eyes immediately catching a glimpse of Lukas's car in the parking lot. Hell no! He's the last person I want to see right now! I hate him! I yelled at myself as I tried to avoid him, walking into the opposite direction as he got out of the car, tears hurting at the corners of my eyes.

"What's wrong?" He yelled as he was running into my direction and I tried my best not to look at him. I don't want to see him! I want this to stop! I don't want to hurt anymore. "Bells, what's wrong?" He yelled again as he ran as fast as he could. I can't!

"What's wrong, what's wrong? I'm freaking done with you, that's what's wrong Lukas!" I yelled, throwing one of my shoes his way with the last bit of energy I had left. My shoe just missed him by an inch much to my regret. I wanted him to hurt, I wanted him to feel how I was feeling. Fucking asshole!

"What!?" He yelled, his voice cracking like my heart did minutes ago. He had caught up with me as he stood in front of me, my hand tingling to smack it across his face. My chest tightened so much it physically hurt, everything hurt, I was drenched with hurt.

"Are you deaf? I'm done!" I yelled at his face, smacking my fists against his chest, his hands grabbing my wrists as soon as I did. "Let go of me, fucking asshole!" I ripped my wrists from his hands leaving him empty handed, the look on his face beyond sad and confused.

"Baby..." He whined, the sadness in his voice not enough to bring me to my senses.

"Don't call me that! I'm not you're baby anymore!" I yelled at him, my voice echoing over the parking lot. I scoffed and shook my head with disgust trying to walk past him, the look on his face betrayed and hurt.

"What are you t-talking about!" He raised his voice as it cracked again in the middle of his sentence, panic washing over him. I walked past him but as soon as I had my back towards him he turned around, grabbing my arm.

"Don't touch me!" I looked down at his hand around my arm like it offended me. "Let. Go." I gritted through my teeth, the words coming out my mouth like smoke out of a gun.

"Not until you talk to me. What's going on? What happened." His eyes pleaded me to talk, his thumb running over my arm to calm me down but that was lost effort. "What has come over you all of a sudden? This morning everything was fine!" He said completely confounded as he refused to let go of my arm.

"Did you really think I wouldn't find out? Huh?" I yelled at him, not a single tear waisted on him as I felt betrayed, ashamed, broken beyond repair.

"Find out what?" He frowned his brows at me. "Find out what?" He yelled sounding completely panicked, his temper coming to the surface. "Baby come on, just talk to me. Communicate, be clear for once instead of leaving me in the dark!" He yelled while shaking my arm.

"In the dark? You know well enough what you did!" I yelled at his face while trying to pull my arm from his hand, yanking it, and yanking it until I was free.

"Tell me, because I have no fucking clue!" He raised his voice while desperately throwing his hands up and through his hair, his voice pleading me.

"Putting your dick in that girl Jess! No clue my ass! You cheated on me Lukas! You fucking cheated on me!" I yelled, for the first time, sadness taking over the anger. As I pushed the words past my lips it suddenly feeling very real.

Lukas looked at me with wide eyes as my words hit his ears, his mouth parted with surprise. "The fuck Bells, I didn't!" He yelled while ruffling up his hair, scoffing at the air or at me, I wasn't sure.

"Don't lie to me Lukas. I have seen the texts you send her, she showed me herself. You agreed to a fucking exciting night with her. Idiot!" I cried, tears hurting my eyes, making them sting in more than solely in the corners. "You had to ruin everything!" I cried pacing up and down as he helplessly watched me. "You had to ruin me!" I directed myself to him as I put my hands on my chest, the emptiness of my heart cold against my hands. "She even told me how you moaned her name during the goddamn sex." I yelled, now crying rivers as I stood in front of him, glued to the concrete.

He frowned his brows at me, his lip trembling with guilt and his hand going through his messy hair once more. "Bells I-"

Whatever he was about to say I didn't want to hear it. "You finally did it Lukas! You ruined me!" I pushed him, and walked past him once more, bumping into his shoulder without regret and he let me, he let me push him out of the way.

"Bells, stop talking shit! It's not true!" He said while coming after me, his footsteps closing in on me. "Stop! Stop walking away from me!" He wrapped his hand around my elbow to flip me around. "She's lying! Why don't you trust me?" He said cupping my face, his stormy eyes piercing through me and as much as I tried to look away I couldn't deny the way he was looking at me, the way his eyes were filled with tears like mine, his hands shaking on my cheeks with fear. He was afraid to lose something, to lose me.

He turned me around in his arms, holding me in his grasp from behind, his strong arms caging me with my side plastered against his chest, my heart enjoying the moment while my mind told me to step away and run. "What are you doing?" I cried trying to get away from him.

"Keeping my promise, I'm pushing back when you're trying to push me away." He said, holding me to his chest, my backpack in the way but still he managed to hold me tight. "I promised." He whispered in my ear, one of his tears falling down the side of my face. As one of his arms disappeared around my waist the other in held me tight as I stared to sob, my hand covering my face. To hide.

"Why did you cheat on me Lukas?" I cried into my hands.

"Baby, I didn't." I felt him shake his head. "I don't know what Jess showed you, but read this." He said. "Look at it Isabella. Please!" He begged and I slowly let my hands fall from my face, in front of me Lukas's hand holding up his phone

: Just say yes. One time/night. That blonde book worm of yours can't possible offer you the things I can.

: Will you leave me alone if I say yes?

: What do you think?

: That you're fucking insane! Don't text me Jess I'm serious, I don't want your attention! Go get a life!!
