That jerk is my husband

Chapter 6

    We walked out of the school with my sisters and the twins since everybody thinks that I will go with them. When I was sure that Ryan wasn’t around I turned to the girls when we reached the parking lot.

“I won’t go with you today, I am planning a surprise for Ryan because it’s our one and half year anniversary. I know it’s not that important but now I can surprise him without ruining his surprise for me like last time when we both wanted to surprise each other.” I told them excitedly. 

“Really? He will be happy..” Dyna said with a smile.

“Happy anniversary.” The twins said in unison with a smile.

“Thanks ,we will go back together with the Camaro later and please don’t tell him about it.” I told them and they nodded.

“Have fun.” They said and drove away. I walked towards my car and looked around to make sure again that he isn’t around. I hope he isn’t going to check on the car before I come back, that would be a disaster.

    I drive away towards the bakery where from I ordered the cake, it’s twenty minutes drive away from here and twenty minutes back so I will be back around 4 pm. He said he will be in the library till 5 so to make sure I won’t come for him too early and also not too late, I will go to find him around half 5. Then I will have time to change my clothes as well in the school’s washroom. 

    Everything is going as planned and now I changed into a white summer dress just like that day one and half years ago, but this time I wear stockings and a thin cardigan as well, because it’s not that warm now. When I was satisfied with my look I walked out of the washroom and check the time on my phone. It’s 5:32 so I am in time. I walked towards the library happily singing to myself but I stopped in my tracks when I see it’s closed. ‘What the f**k?’ How I will find him now? Maybe because the library was closed, they went to his partner’s dorm room to work on their project. With that thought I walked out of the building and towards the other building where the dorm rooms are. The right wing is for the boys and the left for the girls so I checked the list of the boys to look for a name what starts with ‘H’. 

Henry

Harold

Henry again

Hayden

Hudson

    This will take forever and I don’t even know his name. Suddenly I have an idea so I dialled Jake’s number, luckily we changed numbers yesterday so I can ask him what is Ryan’s biology partner’s name since they share that class. ‘I am a f**king genius.’

“Hallo?” He picked up the phone after the second ring.

“Hi Jake, it’s Mia. I need your help.” I said.

“Mia? Hi, what can I help you with?” He asked a bit surprised.

“Well... I want to surprise Ryan and he is with his biology partner at this moment so I need to find him. The library is closed so I assumed that they are in his partner’s dorm room.” I said .

“Oh, I see, but what can I do for you?” He asked kindly.

“What is his partner’s name? Then I will be able to find the right room.” I said and waited for him to answer.

“Oh, I got you... you are smart to come up with that..” he said with a laugh. “Her name is Hannah, I don’t know her surname though.” He said and I froze. “Are you still there?” He asked when I didn’t talk for a few seconds and I snapped out of my thoughts.

“Yes, thank you so much Jake. See you tomorrow.” I said and hung up before he can say anything else. So ‘H’ is a girl, maybe that was the reason why Ryan didn’t save her full name? He was worried that I will be jealous or something? That’s why he was hiding it from me and jumped every time I catch him texting with her? I don’t know, I don’t want to think about the worst so I just turned around and checked the list of the girl’s wing.

Hannah Michael 

This is the only Hannah on the list so I guess she is the one. Room 13, I shudder from head to toe. Even her room number is unlucky, I hope I just worry about nothing. I headed towards the rooms, luckily the room number 13 is on the first floor so I found it easily.

    I stood in the front of the room and I heard giggling from inside. ‘Mia, stop listening and knock already.’ I told myself so I gathered all of my courage and knocked on the door twice. When the door opened I froze on my spot. That blonde girl stood in the front of me who smiled at Ryan in the cafeteria last time, without her t-shirts on. Her eyes widened when she saw me standing there, but the most shocking part was when I saw Ryan sitting on her bed, only in his boxer shorts looking at something next to him on the bed.

“What a..?” I couldn’t even finish my sentence because my world crashed down in the front of me, I didn’t know what to say. When he heard my voice he looked up. He stood up fast with shock on his face when he realised that I am really standing there in the doorway with a disappointed expression on my face. 

“Mia? What are you doing here?” He asked me in panic and I couldn’t stand there and just watch them. I started to run as fast as I could without a word, while my tears were falling uncontrollably. I heard him shouting after me, but I didn’t stop running. When I reached the car I saw him run out of the building in his trousers now, without shoes and t-shirts on. I threw the cake out of the car and it landed on the asphalt and I drove away before he could reach me. I watched him from the review mirror, he was holding his head in his hands and looking at the cake. I don’t care how he will come home, he can ask his mistress for a place to sleep for all I care. How can he do this to me, how can he cheat on me after knowing about my past? My phone was ringing but I didn’t even check who it is, since I know it’s him who is calling so I blocked his number right away. 

    Driving calmed me down a bit and when I pulled up into our garage I stayed in the car to think everything over. I am too upset to make a decision right now. The words of the doctor came to my mind when she said that when I feel like everything is too much for me , better if I change environment for a few days and that’s what I am going to do. I took out the advertisement from my bag, what I found in the hospital’s waiting room yesterday. I will go to Santa Monica for a few days, that will be enough to think about my life and about what just happened and what is important for me and my baby. Oh my god... my baby.. what should I do? I love Ryan so much and you need a father as well. My tears were falling again and soon I was sobbing. 

    I need to leave before he send someone over to check on me. With that I got out of the car and ran upstairs to pack some clothes and necessities. I don’t need too much things so I was done in 5 minutes. I walked downstairs and took a piece of paper to leave him a message.

‘I will be away for a few days, I need to think with a clear head. HAPPY one and half year anniversary. Don’t look for me.’

I placed the paper on the kitchen counter where I know he will see it right away when he walks in. I wiped my tears away and headed into the garage. I am too upset to drive so I changed my mind and called a taxi to take me to the train station. I can’t drive for hours in this condition. Doesn’t matter what happens, I must take care of myself and our baby. This is my responsibility now and I won’t fail in it.

    My phone started to ring and it was Kelly who was calling. I know Ryan asked her to call me, he always calls her when he can’t reach me so I just ignored it and turned my phone off. Can’t they just let me be for a moment? 

    When the taxi arrived to the station I bought a one way ticket to Santa Monica and waited for the train to arrive. I don’t know how long I will stay there. I have money what I saved before we started dating with Ryan and my father left money for me as well if I will need it so that won’t be a problem.
