How could he do this to me? After everything I'd done for him!
I had missed my chance at teaching the entire class because of him, my one chance to shine and Princeton had taken that from me.
Losing my job was one thing, then leaving me at a wedding… Telling me he didn't want to be with me, at a wedding.
Oh great job there Princeton!
Slamming the door behind me I threw the clothes I had off, grabbed my dressing gown and draped it over myself before I moved to my tape player. I needed some music to listen to and cheer me up after the day I'd just had…
Lo and behold it was the Mix Tape Princeton had given me!
Typical huh?
Leaning back in the little armchair I had I sat and listened to it, letting tears stream down my face as I listened to the tracks playing one after the other. Starting with 'You've got a Friend', then the 'Theme From Friends'…
Why did he have to be so sweet all the time?
The first real gift he'd given me, before asking me to see Lucy at the Around-The-Clock Café. Spending the night with him afterwards, not caring or noticing what was going on around us…
God why was I thinking about all of this NOW?!
With tears now starting to form over and over and fall I clenched my fists together before grabbing a Kleenex from the box next to me. Sobbing and crying about him!
With 'My Cherie Amore' coming on in the background I huddled up on my chair, not really wanting to be disturbed from where I sat.
Was a Monster not allowed to cry her heart out after it had been broken?
This little Monster was all alone in the Avenue again.
I hate Princeton I hate him! Right I now vow to myself that I wont talk to him, I can't let myself talk to him properly. No Sir I am going to stand by and ignore him, show him just what he's missing!
That's what I'm going to do!
Suddenly a knock at the door shook me out of my little thought bubble…
"GO AWAY!"
"OH hey Kate, it's just your ole pal Nicky... You don't happen to have a floor I could sleep on for a while? Me and Rod have had a bit of a fight..."
God why was Nicky so needy, and why me first huh?
"Nicky I said GO away. I don't wanna talk or see anyone right now!"
"Gee, you sound sad Kate…Let me come in… pleaaase"
I gave in, sighed and walked to my door. Answering the door to a smiling Nicky with my make up smeared into my fur. Puffy eyes. Great.
He dropped the box and shuffled into my apartment before picking me up and cuddling me.
"Come on Kate. It's not all that bad… at least you still have an apartment yeah?"
I couldn't talk, I was just crying into his shoulder as he hugged me.
We talked for about an hour about how life sucked, how it was really crappy. He talked about Rod and how he'd tried to be a good roommate and friend. I talked about Princeton… and he let me!
Really though I think he enjoyed hearing about Princeton and me in the sack… pervert!
He stayed the night, and for the next week on my floor. We talked most days about everything, anything.
OH! And we cuddled...A LOT! But just that
He was not about to get anywhere with me!
But it was nice really. It was good to know I could talk to him…
Funny huh?
