I Rejected The Bad Boy

2

Melodie

   You may think multiple things that could happen to your car by someone who hates you. Broken glass, torn seats, your car keys stolen, spray...  Aodhan didn't do any of those things, he disposed all of the bathroom garbage in my car. I stared at it for a while and screamed throwing all of my stuff on the ground. I jumped up and down screaming, I acted crazy. I could see used tampons and it grossed me out. I started nauseating and I crouched down crossing my legs. I felt defeated, different kinds of questions popped in my head.

     How did he get my car key?

  Of course  he's Aodhan and this is the easiest thing he knows how to do a car. I looked around the parking lot but he was no where in sight. I growled and got up straightening my cloth removing the dirt. I picked up every stuff I dropped and pushed it in my backpack. Soon after the bell rang.

   Oh great!

  I gave one last glance to my car and left the place in anger.

   I pushed our front door and slid as I was so tired to open it widely. I slowly closed it and leaned my head against it. I closed my eyes to calm my nerves and thought of ways how I'll explain to Dad about this. I went to my room covering two stairs at once with long marches  though I was exhausted from walking all the way here. I huffed loudly and put my backpack on my bed. I twirled and throw myself on the bed, following imaginary patterns on the ceiling as I got immersed in my thoughts. If this was the beginning I don't know what the future will bring.

   Aodhan King is so unpredictable.

   Ughhhhhhhh

  I need something to get this off my chest. My phone buzzed, it was a text from Judy, my bestfriend.

    Judy - hey is what I'm hearing true?

      Of course you would hear.

   Me - yeahhhhhh, yay me I texted back rolling my eyes. She responded back in a flash while I was trying to get up from my bed which turn back my head. I picked it up and looked at the bright screen and broke into a weak smile when I saw what she wrote.

   Judy - my superhero he deserved it, JERK. You have no idea what that jerk did to me Judy. If I tell her how he avenged earlier, I knew she would flip out and do something we will both regret. To be honest, I don't want to start any kind of interaction with him, whether it's good or not. I JUST DON'T.

   Judy - ... but why aren't you here? Judy bombarded me with another text. I wished if she hadn't asked me this one as I wanted to sulk on my own all day long. I was praying for you to ignore me Judy.

   Me - I don't feel well that's all. I tapped qucikly and hit send. Tucking my phone in the pockets of my robe, I got up and went to the bathroom. I opened the tap and washed my face after applying some cleanser rubbing throughly making sure I touched every part of my face. My phone buzzed signaling an incoming call, I quickly rinsed it off and grabbed a towel for my wet hands. Judy's name lit up in big bold letters on the screen. I pressed the green answer icon and held the phone close to my ears as I still haven't dried my face. 

   "wow wonder woman so much for being a superhero. They're usually active 24/7." Judy's voice raced before my hello. My eyes got wide as she used the same nickname Aodhan gave me.

  "don't call me that" I retorted back shaking my head as I remebered his voice when he said that same word to me earlier. 

 "what?! That's your new name, so where are you?" Judy forced a light chuckle clearing her throat right after.

"home, you're on your own." I hanged the towel and left the bathroom.

"okay I'll come by later." she left no room for argument when she hung up the phone and I was left with a mouth open, confused eyes blinking once, twice, thrice before I set my phone on my bed.

   My insides feasted though my face was expressionless. I opened my laptop to search for some movies to  watch, I scrolled down to find something that could light up my mood. My hands stopped as one movie caught my attention. It read 'don't hang up', it seems like a good movie. In my situation I wanted to watch Titanic to cry out for God sake but I hated that movie more than I hate my own mother.

   Now I started to think about her, more sadness knocking the chambers of my heart. She's alive, rich, beautiful, successful and hates me. She's a super model, she gave birth to me when she was fifteen. We were happy till she got this job to be a model when she turned 20, she left us with a note saying good bye; no explanation just a good bye like she's going to La's Vegas for a week. Life had been hard for Dad. He's the only one I have and I try to please him with my grades and just by being a decent girl. He gave up everything for me. His parents told him to give me up for adoption but he chose to stick with me. I love him with all my heart. I played the video and comforted myself in my bed.

   I regret choosing this movie, it's so scary but the story is captivating. I decided to watch it with Judy some other time as I shut my laptop. I let a frustrated sigh running my hand through my hair messing it in the process.

   I hate you Aodhan.

I put my pillow on my head and screamed till I felt a pain in my throat.  I moved away the pillow, coughing ridiculously.

    This is your fault too Aodhan.

   Actually, it was yours when you screamed...

   Shut up! I silenced my inner thoughts hitting my forehead.

Dammit!!

   I turned my head to the window looking at the afternoon sun. My stomach grumbled loud enough, even the neighbors could hear it and get confused if it was their stomach or someone else's. I smiled at my little joke getting up from my bed to eat.

   I opened the fridge and explored its contents as my eyes landed on the nutella that I ate last time. I hosted a little party in my mind and grabbed it glueing it to my chest.

  In my whole life I've been in love with 3 things.

   1. Dad

   2. Aodhan

   3. Nutella

But now it's 2 since I divided

Aodhan÷ Aodhan = 1... that makes no sense, thank you for giving me this golden opportunity, shame and embarrassment are knocking at my door so I gotta go.

   Yeah, I'm done with him, I shoved spoonful of nutella in my mouth. I'm over him.

  I hate him,

  I hate him,

  I. hate. him

... another spoon. Aodhan I'm gonna crush you hard that you won't even see it coming. I chocked right away all my dreams crashing down. Yeah,  this is how I'm gonna die choking, then a prince will come and kiss me breathlessly and save me. This is how the fairy tales ends but I'm no sleeping beauty so here I am kissing  my cup chugging the whole water.

  No prince, no kiss.

OH MY GOD...

  It rhymed.

  I should be a poet.

    Moving away my nutella, I took out a napkin and removed the stains from my shirt. The door bell rang; I threw away the napkin and headed to the door tightening my loose bun.

   "What's up?" Judy greeted smiling like a weirdo. I closed the door and followed her as she went to my room.

   "You know you're the headlines of the school's group chat. I even saw a video they posted." I sat next to her pushing her hand away when she stretched it out to show me the video.

   "You want something to drink or to eat?" I changed the subject to avoid further confrontation. Judy isn't someone who gets satisfied just by watching the video, I knew she wanted more.

   "No. but, have you seen the real Mel?" She paused and narrowed her eyes.

   "You're devoted on seeking a revenge on Aodhan, why this grandma face?" She continued.

   "Well things didn't go as I planned. I'm screwed" I lied down on the bed holding my head with my two hands.

   "What happened?" Judy asked nudging me to get her attention as I covered my face.

   "When you came, did you see my car in the driveway?" tears welled up in my eyes when the whole scenario of my car swept in my mind.

   "No" she answered hesitantly guessing what he'd do. She waited for me to answer but I remained silent. It was gross to tell. She'll never agree to ride with me after school anymore.

  "What did he do?" she yelled making me flinch at her sudden burst.

  "You'll hate my car forever." She snorted getting up from the bed.

  "He put all the bathroomtrashinmycar" it wasn't audible enough as I blabbed whatever word that came to my mind.

  "What?" She leaned on my desk waiting for the unexpected.

  "He put all the bathroom garbage in my car, at the front seat, specifically where I sit." her mouth fell open as she watched me in disbelief.

  "What?!"she exclaimed uncrossing her arms. She's going nuts in a few minutes and only God could stop her.

"How could he do this? Skunk bag, jerk. I'll kill him in so many ways that his grandchildren would feel it." She paced around the room thinking of ways she could make that happen.

   "We have to do something Mel, he should..." I cut her off before she could finish her words.

  "No Judy, I'll get him in my own way one more time and I'm gonna crush him down." I fisted my right hand into a ball then slammed it against the bed continuously.

  Judy's phone interfered our conversation and she ran quickly to her backpack and took it out. Her face frowned as the longer she kept her eyes on it.

  "Oh my God" she whispered in fear and shock displaying on her face and turned to me. I sprinted from the bed as I observed her now watery eyes and grabbed her phone to look for myself. My eyes widen as I read the text from her ex-boyfriend who has been stalking her for a while.

   'Juds, my love shouldn't you get home early or are you having a sleep over'

  I strode to the window and glanced around the neighbourhood to check but there was no one. Judy began to shake and I hugged her tight. Hot tears flowed over my collar bone.

   "Judy stop crying, you're safe here. I'll call Dad and he'll stay with us okay and I'll call your mom and tell her that you'll be sleeping here." I firmed my arms to guard her as much as I can stroking her blonde hair. She nodded and let go sniffing, cupping her face with her palm. I immediately picked up my phone from my bed to text Dad but decided to call him since it's an emergency. After two rings he picked up.

    "Hello pump..." I butted in panting like a fish taken out of water.

   "Dad you need to come here now!" I waited for his reply tapping my foot.

   "Why? What happened? Something wrong? Are you okay?" He served a buffet of questions panicking.

  "Just come" I hang up and threw my phone towards my bed.

   "Judy come sit." I double checked the area through my window and escorted her to the bed. Something should be done, he had been an ass for a while messing with her life for 2 years now and this needs to stop.
