Chapter twenty eight 3

face.

Jemima's POV

I wish the tears would drown the pain but it's makes it more real.Reality is worse than denial.I thought Matt was wrong about Drake, if I only stuck to our plan then I wouldn't be hurting right now.I wish I insulted him, slapped his stupid handsome face but No!I had to go in there and make a fool out of myself because I thought he was sorry.

I thought for him and that is stupid.When the elevator arrived on the first floor, I scrambled out as soon as the door slid open, stumbling and falling on the floor

"Jemima?" I heard Matt's voice and in a spur of a moment he had carried me in his arms.

"I failed..." I placed my head on his chest and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Let's get out of here?" I heard Matt's voice and in a spur of a moment he had carried me in his arms.

"I failed..." I placed my head on his chest and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Let's get out of here..."He placed me carefully on the passenger seat and buckled my seatbelt.He jogged to the other side and slumped on the driver's seat.

"What happened?" He asked.I hiccuped,tears rolling in quietness.

"You didn't go as by our plan."I nodded wordlessly.

"And by the tears in your eyes, your stupid plan backfired on your face..."I nodded, looking down at my fingers.

"What the hell happened Jemima?" He slammed the steering wheel that I flinched.

"He was having some good time with another woman..."I felt like he had tore my heart out through my throat .

" I warned you about him but no you love making a fool out of yourself.It's like you find pleasure in Drake stepping on your self respect.You are beyond help Jemima, you need redemption..." He yelled, a false of temper in his voice.

"I am stupid,I am foolish,I am crazy about him,I want to hate him but I can't..." My sobs seemed to increase by every breath.

"It's okay..."He wrapped his arms around me,hugging me so close as I cried on his shoulder.

"I am sorry Matt, I didn't go as per our plan..."

" And I am sorry I yelled at you and you are going through a rough time..."

"I deserve it..."

"What can I do for you so as you feel better?"

"Just take me home..."

After Vee opened the door, I looked at her with trembling lips and she read my mind.She wrapped her arms around me and held me so close.

"I am shattered..."

"I am here for you short woman..."After hugging for what seemed like forever, we finally pulled back.

"What happened?"She asked.

"Drake with another woman happened." Matt answered Icily.

"Arya you went to see Drake?"Vee yelled at me.

"I didn't..."She cut me off,"Aren't you tired of him stepping on your self respect?When will you learn?" She began scolding me.

"I will get going guys, Vee talk some sense to her..." Matt hugged the both of us and left.After hugging for what seemed like forever, we finally pulled back.I narrated all that happened to Vee and all the way she had an angry straight face on.

"I hope this is the last time you seeing her.He is not a prince charming anymore.I am unfollowing him on IG asap..."

"I think I have fallen for him Vee..." I said in a whisper.

"I thought that was obvious from the beginning..." She said dryly.

"And I want to let go...I don't know how but I need to."

"For the best of everyone, I agree Jemima"

He fooled me to finally thinking I have found the one only to realise behind those clever lies I was the fool.I want to stop,I am done,I have had enough,It doesn't matter what I do,He will never be with me,And there is nothing I can do about it.I need to nothing him.I am lost, damaged and screwed up.

"I will be here for you all the way short woman..."

"Thank you..."

"Remember it's for the best, you let go.This love is toxic, you have even barely been that close to him and he is already making you cry like it's a high paying job."

"I don't care if I have to rip my heart out but I am done Vee.I wish I just stuck to Kane's bullshit.Things were less complicated back then."

"No going back to the past, we are moving forward short woman."When I meet Drake, I felt like dark and unexplored all the way down.I felt like I have been loving wrongly.This isn't good for me anymore.It's time to let go.
