The Game Of Power

Break up

Mikael's eyes flutter, he slowly opened his eyes lids feeling aches all over his body. He tried to recollect what happened but it doesn't seem like it makes sense, he remembere d Mona Pinn asked to give him a lift home which he accepted after much of her whining. He got off the bed and noticed he's partially naked. He only has his boxer shorts on and he could catch a female scent_faintly.

He scrambled off to the bathroom. He couldn't get himself to try to figure out what happened to him. He quickly wrapped a towel around his lower half and go to the bedroom room.

It was already late in the evening, he has a lot of things to do. He still has to move to his house and he don't know he is going to hide it from Stacey. 

Just in time, his phone rang.

It's Stacey.

"Hey love" He greeted.

" Love you mean? Like you care" Stacey replied harshly.

"Why are you sounding this way? What happened?" Mikael tried to ask why she sounded so harshly.

"You are nothing but a liar, you lied to me. You promised to love me but you were just playing with my feelings. You already got what you want, right? " She hungs up.

Mikael was dumbfounded.

What happened to Stacey.

He knew for a fact that something is wrong. Or is she mad because he hadn't called her? 

He dialed her number and she didn't pick up.

He tried it again twice, thrice. It seems like she is mad at him.

He tried texting her but she didn't reply. 

He glanced at his wrist watch and saw that it was past 9 in the evening. He stomach grumbles remning him he hasn't eaten. He prepared dinner, ate and slept. 

STACEY pov

Just as I got home. I saw my dad, he's really grown fatter. i can see my mom has already missed her husband.

He brought a lot of things for us. He brought a bracelet for me, a golden bracelet. He bought necklace and all of those expensive jewelries and also toys for my younger brother.

I was trying out all what my bought for me before I saw a message. 

 It was a video.

Mikael?

This can't be true.

It's a s*x tape, Mikael was having s*x with a lady.

This is it, all I'm seeing is red. How could he? After taking away my virginity, he thinks he is just going to play me around.

I dialed his number.

"Hey love" I heard him say from the other line of the phone.

" Love you mean? Like you care" I replied harshly. Who would have thought he is a jerk. 

"Why are you sounding this way? What happened?" Mikael noticed how mean I sound. The i***t is smart to notice I'm not in a good mood. I'm hurt. 

There's nothing he could say that is going to make me forgive him. I saw the video, even technology can't make a video as real as the one I saw. 

I will show it to him if he denies it.

"You are nothing but a liar, you lied to me. You promised to love me but you were just playing with my feelings. You already got what you want, right? " I let out my fury. I feel like doing something nasty_like strangling him. I could feel tears form in my eyes. I lay down on my bed crying all my pain and hurt out.

After crying for a long time, I feel my eye lids begin to close. I closed my eyes and let sleep take over.

The next day, I woke up having a wild headache. I feel like I've been run over by a train. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw how tear strained my face is because of the crying. 

I am prepared to face him. Let's see.

I tried my possible best not to let my family notice how sad and broken, but I guess I was wrong my mom did notice after all.

"Daughter is there something you wish to share with me?" She follows me back to my room. I wonder how my mom knew I'm not the usual me, well she's my mother. She ought to know when her baby _ me is hurting.

I patted by my side on the bed gesturing her to come sit which she obligingly accepted.

"Tell me, baby. What's wrong with you? She asks again.

Tears formed in my eyes for what seemed like the hundredth time. I wiped away the tears with the back of my hand " Mom he cheated on me. I never knew he was playing with me" I cried out.

" So now, what do you intend doing" She asks.

"I don't know, maybe a break up" I replied dropping my gaze to the ground. It's a hard decision to make.

" My dear baby girl, it's doesn't matter what I say in this but I think it's best for you to talk it out with him" saying this she left my room leaving me to my thoughts running wild in my head.

Today is the day I am going to confront him. I know how hard this is going to be but I have no choice than to break up with him. 

All the classes went fine except that Mikael is trying to get my attention. Josh and Dave saw how bad and dull I looked, they tried to ask but I just tell them I'm ok.

When it's lunch time, I was on my way to the cafeteria when I feel someone grab my arm. 

I turned around and saw it was Mikael. 

" C'mon Stacey, why are you acting this way? " 

" Oh, really? You are acting like you know nothing about my change in attitude towards you" I flared angrily, raising my voice. I can't take this anymore. He thinks I'm sort of of trash he can just take at his disposal and do whatever he wants. He is mistaken if that is what he's thinking.

" Stacey calm down you.." 

Oh no! I hate this guy. He is so disgusting. 

" You know what? I'm done Mikael, I want a break up" I walked out on him.
