Chapter 1:Shattered
Daisy
Daisy looked at Romeo with tears streaming down her chubby cheeks.
Romeo scoffed and tried to stand up straight but he failed resulting to him falling down on the bed.
"What are you talking about Romeo.I thought you love me.You told me that i'm beautiful and all that."Daisy said and Romeo laughed out loudly and looked at her with stone cold eyes.He smirked and looked at Daisy as if he was staring at trush.
"I lied ok Daisy i lied.I just wanted to sleep with you because i heard that thick women taste nice but guess what it is a lie because you taste like a rotten potatoe."Romeo said and stared at Daisy as if he was looking at something gross.
Before Daisy could say anything he began to speak again and this time he was pointing at her with his index finger.
"Daisy seriously i never loved you and you must be grateful and thank me that i tolerated you all these years.If it was not for me you could be still a virgin with no boyfriend.Infact you should feel sorry for me for all i had to endure while sleeping with you.You don't know how many times i vomited after sleeping with you.You are gross Daisy.You must kill your fat before it kills you."
Daisy failed to control more tears that kept on streaming down her face.She was hurting deep inside her soul.She did not know if she will come back from all this.Romeo was really destroying her self esteem.She already had low self esteem and on top of that Romeo was talking to her as if she is trash.
Romeo took her silence as a way of telling him to say more because he sat upright,looked at Daisy from her head to her toes and cleared his throat.
"From now onwards i don't want to see you here and were are not a thing anymore.If you see me anywhere don't greet me or even look at me.You give me bad luck.You have a bad spirit all over you.No wonder your parents hates you because no normal person would love someone like you.You must visit the gym maybe you will be able to trap someone.I hate you Daisy and i'm very glad i find a model like girlfriend.Someone who is flexible in bed and does not lie like a chicken and wait for me to do all the work.Don't you know how to move your waist Daisy huh?You’ve got heart, I’ll give you that,"he muttered.
"But your body… it’s just not what I need. I need someone leaner, more… graceful. Someone who doesn’t… weigh me down."The words hit harder than any slap could.
Daisy tried to say something but no words came out.Romeo was drunk but people say that drunk people are the most honest people.So he had been keeping all these words in his heart waiting for a right moment to destroy her.
Daisy cleared her throat and used her blouse to dry her tears.She looked at Romeo who was now looking sleepy .
“After everything we have been through this is how you treat me Romeo huh?I have been loyal to you Romeo and you just cheated on me.”Daisy shouted to her boyfriend of 3 years.
Romeo scoffed and looked at her with his bloodshot eyes which he were trying to keep open.Obviousy he was sleepy and judging by his slurred speech Daisy believed that he was drunk too.
"How could you?!" Daisy’s voice cracked with fury. "You lied! You cheated! You—" She couldn’t finish,the betrayal made her throat tight.
Romeo cut her off with a cold laugh. "Cheated? Please. I didn’t cheat. I upgraded. There’s a difference, Daisy. Big difference."His smirk made her blood boil.
"You’re disgusting!" she yelled, pointing at him. "I trusted you!"Her hands shook,tears falling freely on her chubby cheeks.
"Trust?"he echoed, like it was the dumbest word he’d ever heard. "Sweetheart, you were never enough. Never exciting enough. Never what I wanted. Don’t cry now; it’s pathetic."
Daisy sniffed and looked at Romeo and the coldness of his eyes told her this was the end of them.Her world came crumbling down and she just stood at the middle of his bedroom.
Romeo looked at her and stood up straight for less than and minute before he fell back on his bed.
“Can we not do this right now Daisy i’m feeling a little bit drunk.Maybe come back later when i am sober and we will continue with this conversation.”
Daisy chuckled and looked at him as if he has horns or something.She picked up her handbag from the floor and headed for the door before looking at Romeo one last time.She was certain that there were now over and no apology would fix them.
Daisy went in her Honda civic and drove off feeling sick.She wanted to cry,she really wanted to scream but Romeo was not worth it.He was not worth her losing her control.She took a deep breath at the same time her phone rang and by the ringtone she knew that was her sister Lily calling.
"Hello Lily."Daisy greeted her sister and also bestfriend after connecting her phone to her car bluetooth.
"How are you my chubby cheeks.We are going clubbing tonight."Lily said in her chirpy voice and Daisy groaned silently.She did not want to be around people tonight but knowing Lily she could possibly not say no to her.
"I don't think i can come Lily i'm feeling sleepy."Daisy said and Lily scoffed loudly before saying,"Noway Daisy you are coming.Remember it is our first time going to club Vernus so there is no way i'm going alone."
"Oky fine Lily i will tag along but come get me around 8pm."Daisy said and Lily screamed happily before hanging the phone after saying something like buying a new dress.
Daisy smiled lightly after speaking to Lily and her mood changed a little bit.
She drove silently until she reached her apartment.Daisy lived on the third floor of a modest brick apartment building in Astoria. The apartment wasn’t big, but it was hers. A small living room held a soft couch, a cluttered coffee table, and stacks of wedding magazines she never seemed to put away. Her desk by the window was covered in color swatches, ribbon samples, and scribbled notes from the weddings she was planning.
The kitchen was tiny—barely enough space to cook—but she made it work. Her bedroom was simple, just a comfortable bed, a dresser, and a mirror she used when getting ready for meetings with clients. At night, the lights from the street below filtered through the window, and the quiet hum of the city reminded her she was still chasing the life she had dreamed of in New York City.
Daisy entered her apartment after parking her car safely.She dropped her bag on the floor after taking her phone out of her handbag.She was exhausted and in need of sleep.
Daisy sat down on her couch and took a deep breath.She scrolled through her w******p charts and she find a message from Lily telling her to get ready soon.Sighing she quickly went online and ordered a new set of red lingerie.Only God knows what she was planning to do tonight.
