Poor Me

Chapter 19

Dylan

I stumble inside my house trying to will my legs into sending me to my room without falling. Seeing Mica with another person left me a little light headed and I also had a few drinks so I let my body fall down to the floor without so much as a fight. I let the tears fall down my face, sobbing quietly alone. All alone.

No Mom.

No Kalen.

No Orson.

No Tate.

No Mica.

I let out a loud sob at that thought. I realize everyone leaves me one way or another which hurts. it's like I'm cursed or something. Mica was the only person I knew would choose me no matter the situation. She is my escape, my ray of sunshine, my support system and my best friend but what she did to me really made me see that she too will leave me in a heartbeat when given a chance.

And that sucks. Sucks really bad.

I'm crying so much I almost don't hear the knocks on the door. My heart does a little flip, happy that Mica is decent enough to follow me to talk about what happened. I'll apologize first for putting us in this situation then we will find a way forward like we always do. I almost laugh at how pathetic I sound. A minute ago I was ready to isolate myself from mankind but now I'm making plans about a way forward. But I can't help myself, I don't want to lose yet another person in my life.

When I open the door all hope is lost, shuttered into a million pieces. The person standing Infront of me is not who I want, not who my heart wants and definitely not who I was hoping for. Standing in front of me is my back stabbing asshole of a brother and the last person I want to see right now. Great.

"What the f**k do you want?"I ask bearing my teeth to him. I am so not in a mood to deal with him right now. But Cruse doesn't care about other people so instead of answering me he shoves his way inside of my house bumping into me as he does. Rude much.

"Cruse get the hell out of my apartment, right f*****g now"

"Not until I say what I came here to say and not until you tell me why you're crying" I mentally scoff at his words, like he cares why I'm crying.

"I don't care about what you have to say and the reason I'm crying is none of your damn business. Get out."

"Look I'm sorry about the s**t that happened between me and your girlfriend okay. I realize that I messed up and I want to fix my relationship with you" I want to yell and tell him she was not just my girlfriend but my fiancee, the mother of my kids but I don't because I know he knows all that. He just doesn't care.

"Why now!? You had all this time to do that but you didn't. Tommy had to force you to come here the first time because you didn't feel like you did something wrong. I'm am so not having this conversation with you again I have my s**t to deal with, so if you could kindly f**k off" I point at the door just in case he forgot where it is.

"Just listen to me for a second" he turns and starts walking away from me, then comes back again "I need your help. Tommy refused to help me but I know you will. I need some money to get started on something that will make me a lot of money then I'll pay you back with interest" he finally says the real reason he's here. I'm so mad the only thing I can think of doing is to laugh.

So I laugh.

I can't help it I just feel like laughing so hard snort and tears mix ruining what remained of my makeup. I laugh so hard Cruse almost seems scared. Of course he needs money! He's not apologizing because he's sorry he's just softening the blow.

"You sick motherfucker!! That's why you're here you just want money. You must be really desperate so I know you are lying about the 'something' you claim to be starting"

"Look I owe someone some cash, I'll pay you back I promise" he comes closer to me like that will help hide the bullshit he's spluttering.

"f**k no!" I push him with both hands "Get out.GET THE f**k OUT, NOW." I shout.

"You heard the lady, get out Cruse" a voice says behind us. So calm it can be mistaken as a plea. But I know better.

"Stay out of this Mica, I'm here to talk to my sister, stop meddling in our business"

Cruse says to Mica.

"Cruse I'm not giving you money, never again so please get out of here" I look at Mica still standing by the door"Both of you"

Hurt flashes in Mica's eyes but she quickly schools her expression deciding not to take me serious like Cruse is doing. Apparently my words don't mean s**t anymore.

"Cruse get out I need to talk to your Dylan, she clearly doesn't want you here" she says in a patient voice but her expression is not patient at all. If anything her eyes are almost dark with fury and her hair looks like it's on fire—it being red and all— under the dim lighting. She's pissed. It might be at herself for what she did earlier, at me for what I've been doing with Blue or at Cruse for being here. All in all she not to be messed with.

"You're the one who got her crying but now you act like the nice guy, f**k off Mica"

Before I even see it coming Mica punches him.

Right in the eye

We all stop moving trying to comprehend what just happened. Cruse doesn't even know whether to hit back or not. I think he's hesitating because Mica is a woman. Mica seems shocked at her own actions, it almost seems like she didn't mean it but when Cruse reaches to touch his aye and wince, a decision is made. He lungs for Mica before she can move away or try to land a hit. They fall with a thud then they wrestle with each, Cruse trying to punch Mica while Mica does her best to defend herself. Cruse is a big boy, the only thing he genuinely pays attention to is his body so obviously he's fit while Mica on the other hand spends her time lazing around the whole day and the whole knight. But she is holding her own in this fight.

She is making it hard for Cruse to land even one hit on her and I'm really impressed. But it's gone as soon as it arrived.

Now I'm scared.

Mica had an accident a few weeks ago and she hurt herself so if Cruse hits her where she got hurt before it might cause real damage. I panic moving before I think. I take my bag which I dropped down on the floor when I arrived and swing it hard, hitting Cruse on the head. He groans and turns trying to yank the bag away from me. Mica takes that as an opportunity to hit Cruse again. Sucker punching him right in the mouth.

"f**k!" Cruse shouts getting off, off Mica.

I try to kick him but I end up falling on my ass because I'm still wearing heels. Mica swears under her breath not knowing whether to continue fighting or check up on me. But before she can decide Cruse hurls himself to the door turning to Mica one last time and mumbling "You punch like a girl " then he leaves not bothering to close the door. What an asshole.

We don't move for a long time then Mica goes to the door and for a second I think she's leaving but instead she closes it then locks it. She then leans against it watching me while I try to get up from the floor. Her eyes are on my every movement that I make until I'm standing up ten feet away from her.

She moves fast towards me and I rush her too, mindful of my steps, trying not to fall again. We crash in to each other, kissing each other fast and hard. Teeths clicking and noses bumping as we awkwardly make out like we've been starving for each other for a long time.

I know I have.
