Arya's POV
The four words that can send anyone to a coma... The words I fear to hear since they never bring good news...
"Yes???" I stammered...
"You're a good girl Arya, any man is lucky to have you... You're hardworking,kind, humble,down to earth.."
"Get to the point Matt..." I was getting impatient.. I didn't want to be soothed before my heart gets broken...
"I don't think I can do this anymore..." He whispered , looking down embarrassingly...
My eyes glimmered with watery tears and I felt as if the whole world was about to crumble down...
"What???"
"I'm sorry Arya, it's not working anymore..."
"Did I do anything wrong?? I'm not cheating on you trust me, I only talk to Nick and Andrew... I'll try and be a better girlfriend..."
Pain was tearing its way into my trembling heart...
"No, it's not that... You're just clingy, too available and you don't entice me anymore... You are boring..."
"Hey you, watch what you're saying!!!" Jackie thundered behind the counter "Have you forgotten all that she did for you???" Jackie asked as she walked towards us, "You are so ungrateful!!!" She sneered
"I didn't forget but she doesn't make me happy... I can pay her the money back..." He replied shamelessly
Now he wants to pay back, the things I did for him are valueless... No money can ever cater for all the things I've done for him
I gave him some capital to start a business, helped his sister with her wedding, stayed with his mother in the hospital when she was sick, housed him when he was jobless and many more... But No, kindness according to him can be bought...
"Matt, all I did was love you..." The pain was so raw and his words were playing in my mind like an echo...
"And I'm grateful but you're not the one I want to spend the rest of my life with... It's not you, it's me.."
"You said am hardworking, kind and humble then why are you leaving me??? I love you so much, I've invested all of me in this relationship" My heart felt as if my blood had become a tar as it struggled to keep a steady beat...
"I'm sorry but the right one will come"
"Are you leaving me because my bakery is not doing well??? I am trying I swear..." I sobbed, taking his hands into mine...
" It's not that, I just can't anymore" he replied
Without hesitation, I threw myself at him and hugged him but he pulled me back...
" I am sorry I ruined our date..." He said
I was about to say something when Jackie covered my mouth with her hand
"Can you also pay back the five years she wasted on you??? Just leave Matt and never come back..." She snarled
He nodded and left even without a goodbye... I hugged Jackie as tears flooded like the waters rushing down a waterfall
"He left Jackie..."
"I knew something was fishy when he came in... But don't cry, he is a douchebag..." She rubbed my back soothingly...
"Do you want me to stay with you??? We can always eat the cake..." She asked
"No" I pulled back and wiped the tears from my eyes, "We need this money... I'll just have a walk, I'll call you later"
I took my clutch bag and denim jacket from the store and found Jackie staring at me all sad...
"Are you sure you don't want my company?"
"Yes Jackie, I need time alone..."
He couldn't notice I wore a simple black dress and the only pair of stilettos I own since he said he would love to see me in a dress and heels today... I don't do makeup but at least today I tried to look pretty for him.
Little did I know I was dressing up to get dumped... He left like it was nothing...
Damn Arya you're getting into that phase again
I really need a strong drink...
Ethan's POV
I wore a cap and a pair of glasses and walked into a certain cheap club in the other side of town... I didn't want to go to the classy or popular clubs since everyone would recognize me and the last thing I want is to be seen vulnerable by my fans...
I was busy with my phone when I bumped into a girl and my phone slipped from my hand and dropped on the floor...
"I'm sorry..." Her brown eyes were like ocean of hopeless grief...
I couldn't yell at her even if I wanted to...
She picked the phone from the floor and gave it to me
"Is it broken???" She stammered
I wasn't even concerned about the phone but this sad girl in front of me... She seems the same age as my sister Mia.... Doesn't she know it's a bad idea to drown your sadness in a club?? Something might happen to her especially since she's a girl...
"I can always replace it... Question is, are you okay???"
She blinked and tears dripped from her eyelids and slid down her cheeks
"Sorry I can't help it" She ran past me into what looked like washrooms...
