My Ex-Boyfriend's Obsession

9. HEARTBREAK!

LINDSEY’S POV

I was tucked in my bed all alone. All I could think about is how Jim betrayed me like that. For once in my life, I thought that I had met the guy meant for me but I guess that I was wrong.

Jim was only playing with me and I was too naïve to believe him.

Tears kept streaming down my face as I thought of how I lost my virginity to the wrong person. What hurt me the most is that, when I am here, losing my mind, he is out there cuddling Abby.

I tossed and turned but eventually, I was able to sleep.

THE NEXT MORNING

My eyes were red and swollen when I woke up the next morning. They still reminded me of how Jim cheated on me.

My roommates didn’t care to ask me what was going on in spite of me breaking into sobs. The pain didn’t seem to go away.

I was tired of crying. I needed to move on from this. I needed to be the strongest girl ever. I wanted my life to go on. I trust that after sometime, my broken heart will heal.

Thanks to him, I had up my fashion sense. I wore a black cut out dress with brown wedges. I was going to see him. I wanted to face him for what he did to me.

If I could not stand for myself, then no one will. I wanted all the answers I could gather.

I walked to his place and rang the doorbell.

My heart was racing in my chest as I waited for the door to be answered.

I hoped to see Jim but it was Abby who got the door.

“b***h!” She said through gritted teeth and I was triggered.

I slapped her hard in the face. She wanted to fight me but I pushed her and she ended up falling on the hard tiles at the door way.

She screamed loudly and Jim come rushing to her rescue.

“Linsey, what are you doing here?” Jim was shocked to see me there.

“This b***h has slapped me!” Abby mumbled as Jim took her inside.

I stood at the door patiently waiting for Jim to come back to me. At least, I had dealt with Abby. It felt good to see her cry, just like the way she made me cry last night.

“You can’t show up here and slap my lover!” Jim come back to warn me.

“What am I then, you said that you loved me. You are my f*****g boyfriend!” I wanted to defend what we had.

“Listen Lindsey. You are in campus, men sleep around a lot. You were just one of my games. I love f*****g and leaving and I am sorry that you felt to my trap!” He said this and my mouth dropped. I took heavy breaths as tears formed at the slit ends of my eyes.

I come here to fix things but I ended up feeling worse. Unlike last night when I had all the hopes that he loved me, this very day, he crushed all my hopes.

“This was a game to you? Breaking my virginity was a game to you?” I ask3d him as tears rolled down my eyes like water from a faulty tap.

“Stop being dramatic. Okay, move on, I have never loved you!” He told me and I started huffing and puffing in anger.

“f**k you Jim, you will burn in hell!” I shouted.

“Leave Lindsey, I am not in the mood for your drama. Grow up!” He shut the door on my face and I could feel my heart breaking into tiny pieces and this left me shivering in pain.

An unbearable pain bubbled up my intestines leaving me feeling week and rejected.

His home was not my place anymore. Despite what I felt inside, I walked back to my hostel. This time however, I promised myself to never go back to him.

I would be better. I will be the cutest girl in school and he will regret dumping me the way he did because of Abby.

I went back to my room and I found one of my roommate Brenda. I knew for sure that we were not friends but I needed her more than ever. I wanted a friend.

“Listen, I don’t know why you don’t like me, but I need you to help me. I have grown through the worst heartbreak ever and I just need someone to talk to,” Placing my ego aside, I was able to explain to him what in the hell was happening to me.

“Let me guess, a bad boy used you and dumped you?” Brenda mumbled.

“How did you know?” I mean, was it that evident from the word go that he was actually going to dump me?

“I know campus guys. They lie to you one minute that you are a queen, they sleep with you and when you are all happy thinking you have found the one, they dump you leaving you high and dry,” Brenda said this and it was actually what Jim did to me.

“You know what, the sad part is that, I believed him. I thought that he really loved me,” I was open with her.

“Welcome to the club sister. Don’t rush love. Love will come when you hardly expect it. Stay single, you will not die. I know there is pressure from all this campus couple goals but it is better for you to be single other than being used by this men,” Brenda was speaking so much sense.

“How comes we were not friends before?” I asked Brenda after she opened my eyes.

“I don’t know either,” She shrugged.

“I am happy to have talked to you,” I was honest with her.

“Me too, come on, I will give you some Panadol. I know that your head is hurting right now. Also, please don’t cry. That guy does not deserve your tears. Don’t cry for him. Just know that you are a good woman who fell for the wrong guy, okay?” Brenda advised.

“Okay,” I forced a smile.

She helped me get into bed after swallowing the drug.

“Also, Level up. Dress up, do your make up. This will be your pay back. Make him regret ever using you and dumping you. I know he will come back. When he chooses to come back to you, say no. Don’t be hurt by the same dude twice, okay?” Brenda advised me.

“Okay, thank you,” I hummed.

Taking a deep breath, I knew that it was actually over with Jim, we would never be together, in this life or the next.

JIM’S POV

“You made the wrong choice,” My roommate told me.

I had just walked back to the house after chasing Lindsey away. I was done with her, she should stop showing up at my house.                                                                                                                            

“What are you talking about?” I asked him.

“Lindsey was the girl you would want to keep and you know that, or have you forgotten what Abby does to you? How he cheats on you with older men for the sake of getting money?” He asked.
