I 🌠 Trash

“But it wasn’t my fault that I ended up there,” I desperately said. “It was an accident!”

“Oh really?! How was that sh*t an accident when you tried to rob my grandmother’s house when you stayed because you got evicted!” the girl driving argued.

“Piece of- Why are you even bringing up the past?!” I sighed. “And I didn’t try to rob her, I just wanted to arrange her stuff,”

“Arrange? How the hell did you end up on the fourth floor when you’re supposed to be sleeping with me on the second f*cking floor!”

“Jesus f*cking Christ…” I leaned against the window, watching the rain pour heavily.

“You tell me that having thirty-two pieces of jewelry that only cost a f*cking dollar was in your damn leather jacket? And that leather jacket that you never even f*cking wore ever since you got bailed was just an accident?!”

"oh- I-i-i-i-it’s- Oh goddamit…” I started trembling and not because I was guilty, it was cold. “It’s that straight white man who likes you who did all of this s**t!”

“Sexuality has nothing to do with it, Crystal!” she gripped the steer, trying to suppress her anger. “Please, stop being immature and be an adult…”

“I was just saying the truth! That motherf*cker likes you and he’s sabotaging our relationship. A-a-and,” I kept stuttering thinking of what kind of excuse to say. “O-oh yeah! Additionally, that disrespectful, inhumane, and morbid sick rat who looks like a failed lab breeding experiment is a dipsh*t, batsh*t, pure sh*t is homophobic!”

She ignored me.

“S-s-s-see? I was right!” I replied. “I f*cking won this argument, Aurora,” I cackled and looked at her frowning, so humiliated.

My laugh lasted for a minute. I realized that she wasn’t doing the usual arguing with me where she would kiss me to shut me up and make up. This time, she just made a poker face and ignored my hysterical laughs.

She’s making the eyes where her anger is at her limit, but when she’s angry she just slaps me…but it’s different right now.

Aurora looks like she’s planning something to do with me…

I stared awkwardly at the view. It’s dark outside, raining heavily, and has zero contact, also there’s no connection.

It’s a perfect place for crimes and serial killers. If I were out there right now, I'd probably end up dead or near death.

Suddenly, it gave me an idea to make her speak up and talk to me.

“Stop the car and leave me,” I said in a commanding tone.

She didn’t say anything or react to what I said, she kept on driving and ignoring me.

But I know that Aurora will not stop the car because she loves me and she wouldn’t leave me all alone in the middle of the woods while raining, which is dangerous for me.

“Stop the f*cking car b*tch-”

She stopped the car so harshly that it made me bang my nose at the dashboard. I looked at her dumbfounded and batsh*t scared while I held my bleeding nose.

“Told you to buckle your seat,” she unbuckles her seat belt and gets out of the car, not even caring about the rain.

“The f*ck was that!” I shrieked and wiped my nose.

I got out of the car and the rain hit me. I saw her opening the trunk and removing my suitcase from the car.

“What are you doing?!” I opened the car and grabbed my crossbody brown purse. I ran to her, covered myself with my arm, and took the suitcase back to the trunk before she closed it.

She fights me over the suitcase, trying to get it out of the car while I struggle to put it back on. I gasped and fell as she kicked the suitcase with all the force at me.

She hurriedly went back into the car without looking back. I got up and followed her and tried to open the backseat. It was locked.

I banged on the window where she sat. “Hey! Get me back in there! Please! I’m sorry I called you a b*tch!” I desperately said, trying to convince her to get me back in the car.

Aurora rolled the windows down at the same time as I stopped banging on the windows with my fist.

“Baby please just get me back in there, I’m super f*cking sorry I called you a b*tch. T-t-this is all my fault for being so immature…” I begged while giving her puppy eyes.

“You have what you wanted, I stopped the car and kicked you out,” she looked at me with her lifeless eyes. “You’re gonna find a way, you always do.”

“That’s not what-”

She hit the gas so suddenly and didn’t even let me finish.

I stood frozen, still in shock when she drove suddenly. I looked at her car leaving me all alone in the road. I looked at her car until I could barely see it or hear the engine.

I sighed and squatted for a moment. I rubbed my face with both of my hands, trying to remove the mixed negative emotions that I was feeling and the raindrops on my face. I opened my suitcase trying to find an umbrella, but I recalled that it was in the backseat.

I have no time to reflect on my emotions and other sh*ts. So I stood up, grabbed my suitcase, and started walking in the right direction where Aurora had driven out earlier while the rain was pouring.

It doesn’t matter if it’s raining, I have to keep moving. Just like she said, I’ll find a way.

I started weeping while walking. Why did it happen to me? Why am I such an a**h*le? I’m aware that I’m an a**h*le but I never got the guts to ask for forgiveness properly.

The person I was arguing with earlier, the bob brunette with a bangs French girl. Aurora, my girlfriend, since last year’s new year.

I met her when I woke up in my coma. She’s my doctor who used to check up on me every day and we became very good friends until we became lovers.

After I left the hospital, only 50 thousand dollars was left in me. So I decided to get a job but I lost my identity papers because of my 26 years of coma and amnesia. I don’t even remember a single damn thing about my life before and why didn’t I age a bit?

God gave me a second chance to live, so I decided not to dig into my past because they probably left me. Nobody came looking for me, not a single police report.

For the past 2 years, I have lived my life and it’s messed up.

I got evicted from my nasty rented apartment, got arrested multiple times and at least once in 2 months, got engaged to my girlfriend, fought with my girlfriend over the smallest things, got cheated on, became an addict, got arrested, got a job but was fired for repeatedly slapping a customer for trying to run away when they haven’t paid yet and got arrested because the customer was a minor, but she lied about her age just to get me in jail so I got bailed.

Aurora’s grandmother never liked me because I was a criminal, but I’m a thief, not a murderer.

My 50 thousand quickly became 10 after 3 months out of the hospital. I spent them on things that I shouldn’t even buy and the rent scammed me, making me think that the rent was fully paid, but not. So I found a solution by pickpocketing tourists in New York and breaking into hotels.

It gave me money but it wasn’t enough, so I got evicted and moved in with my girlfriend who’s living with her grandma. Soon I got a job in a cafe and my girlfriend usually comes there often. My coworker likes her, so he’s sabotaging our relationship and it worked out.

Now, she dumped me…like junk.

I stopped walking and cried harder. I let go of my suitcase, squatted, and hugged myself.

“Why the f*ck do I gotta be so reckless…” I sobbed. “I’m gonna die out here,”

I yelled my anger out, not because of Aurora but because of me and my coworker who sabotaged me.

“WHY DID I HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS?! I JUST WANNA BE LOVED AND LIVE!” I screamed. “Holy sh*t…just give me a normal life…”

I kept on crying. I raised my head when I saw a light. I turned around and figured out that it was a big van.

When I see a van out of nowhere in the middle of nowhere and it’s raining heavily, I run.

I left my suitcase and ran as fast as I could but the van followed me and drove faster.

It stopped and a guy came out of the van. “Where you going?!”

“Holy sh*t!” I ran as quickly as I could.

Unfortunately, sad to say, I tripled because of the slippery road and hit my head on the ground.
