Chapter 39: Condolences

When it was closing time, I headed straight home without waiting or talking to anyone. On my way home, Trina and Lauretta walked to me,

"Hey Angie, I heard what happened. I'm so sorry," Lauretta said, "Yeah we are truly sorry," said Trina.

"Okay, but how did you guys know about it?"

"Uh... Because you said it in class when you were yelling at him," said Lauretta, "The video of you yelling at him is going viral, come look," Lauretta said and played the video of me yelling at Jones earlier today in class, after I saw the video, I was convinced that high school is an insane place to be, who shoots a video of a girl yelling at her boyfriend.

"Whatever, I'm going home," I said and walked out on them but they walked to me,

"Angie, tell us what really happened, between you and Jones," said Trina.

I told them everything that happened that night and they felt really bad for me. Trina even asked me not to forgive him and Lauretta asked me to get back all I lost from him. While we were talking, Ella and Victoria walked out of us,

"Angie, what really happened between you and Jones?" Ella asked, I groaned
"Geez, ask Trina, I already told her," I said and walked away but they all followed me,

"Hold on, didn't you see the video everyone is watching right now?" Victoria asked,

"Yes Victoria I've seen it, whosoever posted the video is a weirdo,"

"Come on Victoria, you're more famous now," Trina said,

I looked at Trina weirdly,
"Wait how does that video makes me famous?"

"You know when celebrities cheat on their girlfriend and it becomes a trending topic on social media, people feel sorry for her and follow her on Instagram ... Have you checked your Instagram?"

"No," I said and checked my Instagram surprisingly, I had over 1301 new followers on Instagram,"

I chuckled,
"So just because my boyfriend cheated on me I have new followers, we're they all waiting for me to get heartbroken before they follow me on IG?"

"No," they all said and laughed at me, "You're so weird angie, they followed you because they feel sorry for you," Victoria said, Then a bunch of girls walked to me,
"Angie we heard your boyfriend cheated on you, we are so sorry Angie," the one in front said and they all left.

I really appreciated their condolences but one thing I hate is when everyone feels sorry for me. I and the girls went home together, and when I got home Mom wasn't home. I headed straight to my room and slept off.

Anyways I and Jones didn't talk to each other that day and the next day and even the day after that. On Thursday our founding fathers came over and it was a great day. Friday, Saturday and Sunday were normal, with the help of my painkillers I was able to live without pain. ever since Mom said she was going to talk to me about Jones, she hasn't had the time because she was always busy. I love Jones so much and I really wanted to forgive him but each time I remember how he cheated on me, it becomes harder for me to forgive him. I was always depressed, and I was always In pain but painkillers were like my best friend, she was always here for me.

1st of December.

I woke up feeling so exhausted. I'm sure I had a wonderful night so I had no idea why I was so exhausted. I went into the bathroom and took a shower then I got ready for school. When I arrived at school, Jones walked to me,
"Angie it's been 3 weeks since I cheated on you and I've been apologizing ever since and you don't want to hear it, I've called like a million times but you ain't answering the phone and I've texted you so many times and you didn't bother to read my text. Angie, look into my eyes and tell me you've never cheated on me since we started this relationship,"

I moved close to Jones and looked into his eyes,
"I've ... never ... cheated... in this relationship," I said to him and walked out on him. But then he held my wrist,
"Not this time Angie, you aint walking out on me this time, is either you tell me if you still want me or not, if you do want me, I would be so happy, but if you don't, break up with me right now so I would know this is the end," he said, I looked into Jones's eyes, I wanted to break up with him but it was so hard for me. I remained quiet while I stared at him, while I was staring at him, I sobbed and tears rolled out of my eyes.

"Hey hey hey, it's okay," Jones said and hugged me. When I leaned my head on his chest I felt so comfortable. I felt so much more relaxed that after I took a deep breath out it's like I became so much relived. While we were hugging, everyone cheered and clapped for us. I and Jones hugged until we heard the first bell.
School went well that day, at least I was happy I and Jones are finally back together. After school, I checked the school's social media page and saw the picture of I and Jones hugging and it had a lot of likes. High school is fun, but sometimes it's crazy especially when everyone knows your name.

Jones gave me a ride home and when we arrived at my house, he looked at me with a smile on his face,

"I miss it when you sit next to me, especially in my car... please don't leave me again,"

I smiled,
"And please don't cheat on me again," I said and headed out but then he held my wrist and slowly pulled me closer, he kissed me and kept looking at me,
"I also miss it when we kiss," he said. I smiled and got out of the car, then he drove off while I stood where I was and watched him leave.
