My head is pounding. My stomach is churning. I feel suffocated by the sight of them. Everything is spinning. I can't concentrate.
"That bitch brought him here on purpose to rub it in your face."
Elise is pissed marching so fast, pulling me with her. I can't keep up in these shoes. Tyler, Jamie and Sophia stay behind us probably already planning their revenge.
The image of seeing him with her is killing me and Calvin’s face when he saw me, It was like he was broken, like he felt the utmost remorse, but how can he feel that way?
I stop in my tracks needing to catch my breath, not from walking so fast from having an emotional panic attack at the situation.
"Olivia!" Elise rushes to my side trying to calm me down. I begin to sob and sob so hard leaning against Elise’s car. I can’t catch my breath.
I vaguely here Tyler and Sophia screaming in the background. "I hope you’re fucking proud of yourself. Your evil."
Elise turns to them shouting for them to cut it out. "Just get in the car. They’re not worth it."
I loosely hear Calvin's voice in between all this commotion. There's plead in his tone.
"Olivia, wait. It’s not what it looks like. Let me explain...”
I turn around to his voice and watch him running towards me. God seeing him feels like heaven and hell at the same time.
He's even more gorgeous, more stunning then the image I keep in my head. He has stubble which he carries sexy. He's in a black shirt with familiar rolled up sleeves and grey suit pants. I deflate when I see him, wanting nothing more than to run into his arms but how can I?
"Olivia, listen to me, please let me explain, it’s not what you think."
Tyler stands in my way pushing his hands into Calvin’s chest not letting him anywhere near me.
"Don’t you think you’ve done enough damage to the poor girl, then you go and pull a stunt like this?"
"Tyler, I didn’t know you were here, none of you. Please let me speak to Olivia. I have to explain. I don’t want to hurt her."
"It's too late for that don’t you think?"
Then all I remember is getting bundled into Elise’s car with Tyler and Sophia screeching about how much of an asshole Calvin is and about that bitch Georgia. I black out until we get home, with Elise pulling me from her car into my house .
Chapter Five*
I cradle the toilet seat when I finally get in. I can't stop repulsively puking.
I feel terrible. Who the hells idea was it to drink?
Elise is kneeling next to me holding my hair out of the way and rubbing my back with a glass of water on standby.
"Come on, let's get you into bed." She undresses me as I sit like a rag doll. She helps me into bed making sure I’m sleeping on my side while I remind myself never to drink ever again.
"I’m going to sleep in with you Okay, make sure you don't choke on your own vomit." Elise is so worried and climbs in beside me, but I can’t settle.
"How can I sleep Elise? We haven’t even been split up that long, and now he’s back with his ex? And here? He was gone. He left me. He left Chicago. Is that why he finished with me to get back with her?" I can't stop crying. The thought is haunting me.
Elise hushes me to sleep but I can’t. I feel awful. So drunk and utterly heartbroken all over again.
Elise sits up to look at me with sympathy. "You know, it doesn’t make sense to me. You spent all your time together, practically all summer. You meet his family he meets us, even though it didn’t go well, it’s just...” she sighs taking my hair out of my face where it’s been stuck. "He seemed totally smitten. The way he looked at you. I don’t think even Dante has ever looked at me that way. I know sometimes people can put on feelings until it suits them to switch emotions, but you and Calvin, to me that was real. He didn't give you any real reason why he left you either did he?"
"Obviously for her!” I whimper like a sap. “Just like she said he would. He always runs back to Georgia, that’s what she said
