Chapter 44: Chapter 44

Joanna's POV

To catch your boyfriend, oh well ex-boyfriend cheating wasn't something you see every day, and won't like to see at all, because trust me it freaking hurts.

It is one thing to hear about it or even notice it but seeing it? You could literally hear your heart shatter into a million, wait scratch that, a billion pieces, and that's if the pieces could even be counted.

Dragging my feet up the stairs to my room I avoided the worried looks on my parents' face and Elvis's slightly sad look which made me laugh hysterically because it seemed he knew this was coming.

I shut the door when I reached my room and tugged off my shoes. I jumped face-first on the bed thereafter letting the tears flow.

Screaming as loud as I could without making any sound I cursed him in the many different languages I could remember and proceeded to laugh at myself, I'm crazy I know.

After the tears had seized, I brushed them off my face, before I headed straight to the bathroom where I cleaned myself up.

I chose to put on a pair of my jean bum shorts and an oversized T-shirt which I stole three weeks ago from Frank's wardrobe and ambled downstairs to see everywhere dark and quiet.

Checking the time on my phone I realized it was 11:08 pm.

I really wasted time crying, I pondered as I shuffled to the kitchen, there I picked a bucket of ice-cream that I was sure wasn't there earlier in the day.

Well, whoever got it be blessed hence I needed a brain freeze at the time.

After I had snatched a spoon, I resigned to the living room and turned on the T.V while I was grateful there was electricity.

As the decoder loaded, I wrapped myself in a blanket I saw laying around and snuggled into the couch. I switched the channel to Novela E that thankfully was displaying my favorite movie series <Wildflower> hence the vibe of  'Ivy Aguas' always cheered me up.

The current episode ended so I put it off and sat alone with my thoughts. I had put my phone on silent so I wouldn't be able to hear it ring or ping with messages and calls.

Going over the things in my head had me thinking that maybe we went too fast. I meant Frank and me, but I could have sworn we had a strong connection like we'd known each other for a long time before then.

He totally understood me, more than Harmony did, and that means a lot because Harmony had been my closest and longest friend after my brother, even till now he still is, so when I say Frank understood me more than Harmony it implied he knew me longer than Harmony, which was weird because I couldn't seem to remember him from before.

It hurt me as I thought of how he could do such a thing without considering my emotions. To me, I felt we had a nice thing going, well maybe not to him.

Fresh tears ran down my cheeks unknowingly, until I felt it soak my shirt. This caused me to sniff and dab at them with my already soaked shirt as reality struck me that it did happen.

I know you thought I would have denied it and bottled up my feelings, but I wasn't that way, as I'd rather cry for days and be happy later, than bottle them up.

I dropped the now-empty bucket of ice-cream and switched the T.V back on as I got fed up with my sad thoughts and instead focused back on the new episode of <Wildflower> that had just started, where Ivy was fighting for her life while Arnaldo tries to kill her after finding out she'd been fooling him all along.

I wondered why he didn't figure it out sooner, I mean everyone around him saw that or at least suspected it. I then shook my head and laughed at the look on his face when she finally admitted it to him.

"Man, he's totally crazy," I mumbled to myself and chuckled while I snuggled into the arm of the couch. In a few minutes, I was off like a light.

*********

I woke up to the sound of noises and the smell of chapati and beans. To this, I glanced around and noted I was still on the couch from the previous night as the time read 11:10 am.

I immediately scrambled off the couch, folded the blanket, and steered to the kitchen where I saw mom flipping the flour while Elvis stole some bites when she wasn't looking.

"Food!" I squealed the instant my eyes spotted a plate of beans with slices of chapati by the side.

"Holy shi--, oh my GOD!" They both exclaimed at once as they didn't realize I was in the room.

I disregarded their startled expressions and concentrated on the one thing on my mind that morning and it started with an F having double O's and ends with a D.

"Morrnngffk," I attempted to greet while my mouth was occupied with the heavenly taste of food.

"Morning to you too, or whatever the hell you just said." Mom uttered and rolled her eyes as Elvis gave me a nod in acknowledgment to which I waved in response and refocused on my food.

"So," Elvis trailed.

"So," Mom continued.

"You can say it you know?" I scoffed.

"Sweetie." She sighed, and I scoffed.

"So, I gave him the beating of his life yesterday, and Harmony kind of took it too far by trashing his room," Elvis voiced out with a smirk.

"That's the best friend I know." I snickered. "Lazy, but still able to cause damage."

"You could say that." Elvis nodded before he continued. "Tenda flipped though, going all lady gaga on him. I swear there would have been more damage if Tony hadn't struggled to keep her in place."

"Wait, what did she do?" I questioned a little curious and scared of his answer.

"Well, she kind of jumped him." He told, in which I choked thereafter, a stunned expression on my face.

"No, no, no, not that kind of jump I swear!" He rushed.

I let out a breath and silently urged him to continue.

"What I meant was she pounced on him, yanking on his hair and scratching his face with her nails,  at the same time muttering something on the lines of you won't look so appealing to those whores after this." He finished off, in a laugh.

"What the," I spoke, unable to come to terms with what he had said.

"Yup," He affirmed. "That was how we just stood in terror, staring at her, until Tony snapped out of it and hauled her off him."

"Fvcking hell!" I exclaimed as I broke out in a laugh with tears falling from my eyes as I clutched my stomach and released fits of giggles.
