Hello, Hello, I'm back and I just wanted to warn you that Jake is a complete jerk in this chapter. I'm not sure if you guys will enjoy it but I have to admit that I had a lot of fun writing this chapter and I think it's funny. By the way, Wolf Creek probably wasn't that scary to the average person but I'm veeeeeerrrryyyy easily scared. And you won't really know what I'm talking about until you read the chapter so I'll stop my blabbering and let you read it. I hope you like it!
"How was your trip?" Haley asked trying to rid of the silence in the car
"Fine" he replied-"it was great, greatly fine" he added
"Oh" Haley replied noticing that he barely recognized her attempt to start a conversation. Nathan would have never been this boring…
"How great was it" she blurted stupidly trying to distract herself from the shocking pain thinking HIS name had brought her
"I'm not sure you would understand, a bunch of corporate guys using their smarts"
that seemed to be all of the distraction Haley needed "what do you mean I wouldn't understand?"
"Well you know, you were never the type, you know"
"No, I don't"
"Come on, are you that blind"
"I'm appalled at you, are you saying that I'm too idiotic to comprehend what occurs on a business trip?"
"Noooooo, you're sort of twisting my words"
"I'm not twisting anything I'm just summarizing this conversation"
"Uhhh, Haley, relax it's not that big of a deal, I was just saying-"
"- that I'm stupid-"
'No, that it's hard for you to comprehend, because…. because you're a girl' (whoops!)
"Oh, I see, nothing personal, you think all woman are stupid"
"no"-sigh-"Haley, I'm sorry, can we just not fight?"-sigh-"I missed you"
"I missed you to" (A little white lie)
Finally we arrived, home sweet home. I opened the door for Jake as he brought his luggage in. I was horrified, irrationally, as if something I had left behind would hint at my disgrace.
"Wow, this place looks clean"
"I cleaned" Haley said rubbing her forehead
"Would you mind unpacking my stuff" Jake said
I stared at him incredulously "why should I unpack your stuff"
"You're my soon-to-be-wife, and woman are supposed to be nurtures"
"Who ever said woman were supposed to be unpackers too"
"Come on, it's only one suitcase, why are you making an argument out of everything"
"Why are you being such a jerk?"
Sigh- "never mind, I'll just do it myself"
I headed of straight to the bathroom before I broke down again. It was like taking big gulps of air before diving under water, I could only stay strong for so long before the thought of Nathan came creeping into my head and I lost control again. Even thinking his name ripped my heart open.
"Haley" I heard him call a few minutes later
"What" I yelled back already irritated
"Look, I'm sorry. What do you say we watch a movie?"
"Okay" I sighed still annoyed. I took a deep breath and stared at my reflection again hopelessly before getting out.
"What are we watching" I asked
"Wolf Creek" he replied before throwing the DVD at me.
I stared at it dumfounded. Could he be anymore of an idiot? He knew how much I hated scary movies, and he didn't even ask what I wanted. Had he always been like this? Maybe I was the real idiot for thinking I ever loved him. They say opposites attract, I wonder which one of us was the real idiot and which one was smart
"Hhhhheeeeellllllooooo" I jumped, startled "is there anyone there, can you go make some popcorn"
I glared at him
"It's just that you make really amazing popcorn, could you go? The movie is starting"
I-D-I-O-T, I was speechless, it was the only thing I could say, and I was speaking for both of us. How could he be so horrible and rude? How could I have tolerated his horrible rudeness?
A few hours later
The movie was… scary, horrifying, and gruesome. I knew it was going to terrify me for weeks but I was too depressed to care.
"You know, I reeeaaalllly missed you" Jake crooned as he began trailing small kissed across my collarbone. To say that I wasn't in the mood would have been an understatement.
"Jake, I'm tired, why don't we just go to sleep"
"But I've been gone so long; I need to not go to sleep"
"Jake really, stop" I said backing away
"What's wrong with you?"
"There's nothing wrong with me, I'm just tired"
"You're PMSing"
"That has nothing to do with it, and that doesn't even make an excuse for how you've been acting"
"Why are you being such a bitch?"
S-T-O-P WHAT?
"What did you call me?"
"Look, maybe I was exaggerating a little"
I ran for my purse and shoes 'You know what, you're the bitch, have fun fucking yourself" I called out to him as I slammed the door
I ran, still with my shoes in my hand, I didn't really know where I was going, I just wanted to be far away from him. I couldn't breathe, but it only propelled me to run faster. I knew I wasn't running towards anything, I was just trying to run away from the mess I called my life. Anywhere was better than here.
