“I can’t believe he really showed up, we should go over there and give him a piece of your mind Madeline.”
“No. Honestly he isn’t even worth it. I just want to have a great time Ashlynn.”
I know your probably wondering who were talking about. The d**k head were discussing even though we both promised we wouldn’t bring him up is my ass of an ex-boyfriend. He cheated on me with some girl from his Economics class. I walked in on the two of them in his dorm.
The sad part is it was his birthday and I was coming to bring him his gift. When I opened the door the two of them were on the bed mid make out sesh. I threw his gift on the ground I spit on the floor then walked out.
He tried running after me but I didn’t stop I just ran all the way to Ashlynn's dorm room and told her everything. She was heated, she wanted to fight him. Honestly sometimes I think she forgets she's a girl. But I told her not to do anything I told her not to waste her time it wouldn’t do s**t. She was mad that I let him get away with some s**t like that but she understood why I didn’t want her to do anything and we let it go.
But tonight, he showed up here. At Canary’s. Seeing him with Economics girl was something I didn’t think I'd see tonight. It was most definitely a buzz kill.
“Madeline he’s looking over here.” Ashlynn said with a mug on her face.
“Let him look, I have nothing to say to him and I honestly don’t want to hear whatever it is he might have to say.” I say as I look in his direction to see if he was truly looking at me.
“She’s coming over here. That b***h is coming over here Ashlynn.”
“No she’s not, ignore her she wouldn’t think about coming over here. She doesn’t know what you could do to her this time.”
But I couldn’t ignore her. I couldn't ignore them no matter how hard I tried. She was walking this way though. Why? Maybe to show that she wasn’t scared of us. Or to show just how cruel she could be. Whatever it was I honestly wasn’t in the mood to find out.
“Here we go.” I whisper as she approaches us and flips her pretty blonde hair.
She was gorgeous. She had shiny blonde hair. The type of hair only a princess could have. She was shorter than me that was quite obvious by the way I kind of had to look down to see her. She was wearing all red and I was kind of intimidated. When she approached us I could tell how hard she was trying not to laugh. And it pissed me off. The only thing going through my mind was what the f**k could be so funny.
“I’m gonna need you to stop looking at Austin. It’s getting really creepy.” She says as she continuously flips her hair from her shoulder to her back.
She walked over here trying to seem better then us. Then tells me to stop looking at her and that i***t like I'm not catching him staring at me every time I look up. The nerve of this b***h.
“Mads step the f**k back. Because this b***h think she just gone walk up on us like she gone do some and I'm not here for it.”
I knew Ashlynn was going to say something she’s like my big sister. But I can’t let her fight my battles. I’m a grown ass woman.
“Look I don’t know your name. I actually don’t even want to but you need to step back...” I say.
She was so close I could smell the flavor of her lip gloss.
“Your honestly to close. Just because you walked in here with my ex doesn’t mean you hold any such power over me. And I wasn’t looking at Austin for nothing. If you tell him to stop staring at me we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. I don’t care about whatever it is you might have to say. So, if you thought you would come over here and check me you thought wrong.”
She looked quite stuck but I felt great. I usually never have to speak up for myself I always have Ashlynn for that but this time I know I did myself justice.
“Mads I think you made her mad.” Ashlynn said as she laughed uncontrollably
Without even hesitating the girl who was unknown to us spoke again.
“He’s been cheating on you for two years. And it wasn’t just with me. So please don’t think your special he made you look dumb in front of every last one of his friends. You were just a b***h for show. He was never really into you. So, if you thought you were better than me you thought wrong.”
The s**t she said totally caught me off guard. I felt so stupid I couldn’t say anything. But Ashlynn could. At least she tried.
“I don’t know who you thin-” She was cut off so quickly.
“And my name is Brooke.” She said has she flipped her pretty blonde hair and walked away.
“That b***h cut me off. Who does she think she is? Who does he think he is? I should go over there an-”
“Stop Ashlynn, it’s not even worth it.”
“It is worth it you need to stop letting people like him and her run over you. Your better than that”
I just look at her. Not even sure what to say.
“Are you okay babe? I know this wasn’t how you predicted our night would be but I'm sorry.”
“Yeah, I'm fine. I just need some air. I’ll be right back.”
I know I should’ve stayed and talked to her. She’s my best friend but I just couldn’t be in that club with the loud music and the happy people and pretend that everything was alright because it was not. So going outside for some fresh air was an idea that I thought was best.
“It’s really cold out here it’s unnatural as hell.”
“Ohh Johnny, Johnny, Johnny Johnny.”
“Come on boss give me another chance. I’ll get the money just give me a week. I swear.”
“A week? I gave you a week last week and the week before that. There’s not too many more weeks I can give you.”
I know that what I'm about to do is a bad idea but that’s my problem I'm always making bad decisions but I wanted to know what was going on. I wasn’t going to go inside. I was gone stay and listen.
“This is the last week boss I promise. Come on Vinnie we’ve been friends for 3 months.”
“You heard that boys we’ve been friends for three months so I'm just supposed to let him WALK. Even though he owes me money. I don’t think so. I’ve already given you three weeks Johnny. I can’t give you more. They’ll say I've gone soft. And I don’t think I've gone soft. Do you think I'm soft Johnny?”
“No boss your hard, harder than a rock.”
“How would you know have you touched my d**k Johnny? I don’t see no women round her Johnny. I'm not hard. I think I am a bit soft. I guess I'll let you go.”
“Thank you boss. I’ll get the money to you soon boss I promise.”
“Alright boys lets head out.”
BAM!
“Johnny I wish you would’ve gotten my money on time it didn’t even have to be like this.”
He just shot that man. He shot him over some money. He’s f*****g crazy. I need to get out of here. I need to go. Where do I go? Do I go in the club or do I go to the police station. I'm not sure. I can barely even think. This is crazy.
Oh god. He’s walking this way why is he walking this way!!
“Hello, who might you be?” he says as he looks me up and down as if he’s studying me.
I just stand there. And suddenly I feel a tear fall down my face. Am I about to die is the only thing I could think of? Then he says....
“Are you scared?”
