C19 Chapter 19- The kind stranger.

Sebastian POV

I groaned as my eyes fluttered open,I had a headache no doubt. I placed my hand on my thudding head and gently sat up and glanced around my house.

How did I get her? Memories of last night came back running into my head and I totally forgot that I was worrying about how I came here. Jennifer was engaged,she broke up with me. This was a shocking reality that I didn't want to believe.

Never would I have ever believed that Jennifer would do something like this to me after all the years we have been together and not got separated,she even came here last week,was she fooling me all this while.

I loved her with everything in me, supported her in her career the best I could and this was what she repaid with, breaking my heart.

I touched my chest,I won't lie, this hurt me alot,my heart hurt and my head doesn't want to comprehend what is happening.

"You are awake". I heard and I snapped my head to the kitchen door where the voice came from and my eyes widened in surprise as to who I saw leaning on the kitchen door with a mug in her hand.

What in the world is going on here?

Why is this lady in my house?

"You better close your mouth before a fly comes in". She said and I snapped out of my thoughts as she walked closer to me and drank from the mug and dropped it on the table.

"It's honey water. It's good for a hangover,I don't make two if you won't drink it you pour it away,you shouldn't drink to the point of not knowing where you are ''. She said as she took her leather jacket that was on the couch.

I was still wondering what was going on here because I could not still understand it but I just continued staring at her as she made her way to the door.

"Wait! Did you bring me home?". I finally found myself asking.

"Yes someone was trying to steal from you and being a good stranger that happens to know you I brought you back home". She said,

"Did you sleep here?". I asked curiously even though I think she did.

"It was already late when I got here,what are you bothered about a stranger sleeping in your house?". She asked and I shook my head.

At this point it doesn't even matter if she slept here. I didn't care.

"Thank you". I muttered.

"I didn't do It for your thanks, I paid you for damaging your car, that is why I helped you out". She said as she opened the door and I raised any eyebrow.

I even forgot about my car and that time she slapped me and I was thanking her.

She wasn't what I expected. She is actually kind of nice.

"Thank you...what's your name?". I asked.

"Strangers shouldn't exchange names Sebastian". She replied as she walked out slamming the door behind her,yeah this was the same woman I knew.

How did she know my name?

She's not at all what I expected.I glanced over to the mug and took it and went back to the kitchen. For some strange reason I wasn't bothered that a stranger was sleeping in my house. The only thoughts that flooded my mind now was Jennifer.

Why did she have to do something like this to me? I never did anything to offend her and I was the most supportive in her career so why?

Unanswered questions kept running through my head and it just gave me a splitting headache, I needed to eat and get some of my strength back because I felt drained of all the strength in me,my legs couldn't carry my body but I dragged it along to the kitchen and took a loaf of bread and water as I ate it and drank the water,I didn't feel like cooking ,I didn't feel like moving I just wanted today to end or someone wake me up from my slumber and tell me this was all a dream.

After eating I just went straight to my room and hopped on the bed.I needed answers and explanations but I didn't have the strength to go and get it. I don't think I could take it if Jennifer told me to my face that she has a fiance and was using me all this time.

She stayed with me when she was thinking about marrying someone else,was this the reason she always refused my proposal because she had a lover already. This is the worst weekend I could ever have.I should be resting because I was so exhausted from what but I was racking my brain.

If I knew this would have been the outcome of my visit I wouldn't have gone to visit her. My eyes closed as the exhaustion caused me to sleep.

*******

When my eyes fluttered open it was already evening 4:25 pm.I can't believe that I actually slept for that long.I didn't even check the time when I woke up in the morning so it was expected that I wouldn't know when I woke up.

I sluggishly made my way to the kitchen,my stomach growled louder,I was hungry that was what woke me up in the first place,I stopped in front of the stove and turned it on placed a pot full of water on the fire and then I opened the cabinet and I saw nothing,I proceeded the fridge and it was empty.

I forgot that I said I would go grocery shopping today and fell asleep oh my goodness what was I going to do now?

I hated eating outside and I didn't feel like going out to buy anything because I still reeked of alcohol and I knew that I had no strength to leave the house,I was so exhausted and I needed rest.

I slammed the door of the fridge off as I went back into the living room and took my phone from the couch I slept last night, 14 missed calls, 6 messages from Jennifer,I don't know what she wanted to explain but I wasn't in the mood for this,I ordered a pizza since that was the only thing I knew I could do as of today,I sat down on the couch and decided to read her messages.

"Am so sorry, Sabestian". The first one read.

"If I knew you would visit I would have told you not to come". Jennifer's second message said and I scoffed.

If I knew you were this sly I wouldn't have even bothered coming over to your house.

I can't still believe she would do this to me,she called me her ex. I clenched my phone tightly,there was no need to get annoyed over this.

I opened the next message.

"I wanted to tell you but I didn't have the courage to". The third message said. Courage?

If she wanted to tell me she would have done it the day she couldn't visit me,it was just last week!

For goodness sake she had all the time in the world to tell me but she chose to lie to me.

Why was I even bothering reading these messages,it only made me more angry at her.

I angrily raised my phone up to hit it on the floor and then I remembered that I can't afford to buy a new phone since I was saving up for an important project I had in hand.I took a deep breath and tossed the phone on the couch beside me.

I remembered I had turned on the stove and I quickly ran into the kitchen and put it off,oh my world .

What if I didn't remember it and went to sleep?

Jennifer has really given me a big blow to the chest,I was still in a trance,I didn't want to believe this at all.

I leaned on the kitchen counter taking shady breaths,I hated how I felt when she was the one that broke it off,she had never cheated on me or was I just too blind to see the picture on the wall.

I heard my doorbell and I went to the door,it must be the pizza delivery guy,I took the pizza and paid for it and sat down on the floor of my living room and opened the pizza as I ate it,the pizza didn't taste so good in my mouth anymore,it tasted bitter and sour,was this what it felt like to get heartbroken?

I didn't feel like doing anything but just sat and let the day end.

I took my phone again and opened the fourth message.

"I love you I really do but you can't give me the future I dream of".

As I read the message my heart broke more, the future she dreamed of? I guess I understand now why she did it and I won't say I blame her.

"Please understand why I did this,I want to see you so I could explain all this" The fifth message said.

See me? What more does she want to explain?

"Even if I know you won't forgive me l just want to apologize". Jennifer's last message.

What needs is there to apologize for the deed has already been done and nothing can change it. All I had to do was accept the fate that she was not mine anymore.

I wasn't the type that liked clinging into something that isn't mine but Jennifer… Can I really let her go?

Can I really accept this? No matter how I think about it, I just can't.

I got up from the floor and headed into the bathroom to take a shower.I needed to get out of the house.
