11. You Are NOT Worth It!
I was finally finished unpacking and I just plopped my body onto the bed. I was exhausted. I don't even
know why I was so tired. I was knocked out for a while which must count as sleep. I walked into the bathroom
and looked in the mirror. I gasped at the black and blue on my forehead. I looked like I got mugged. I couldn't
even touch it without flinching. "Stupid pole. Stupid cart with the stupid pole on it. Stupid guy with the stupid cart with the stupid
pole on it!" I didn't even realize I left the bathroom door open... until Ted started laughing. I gave him a dirty look and walked back into my room. I grabbed my pajamas and walked back into the
bathroom. "I'm going to get changed and use the bathroom, so I'm shutting the door.""Ok, don't take a year and a half because I have to pee." "Sure." I got changed into a tee-shirt and shorts and opened the door so that Ted could go to the bathroom. I
closed the door behind me and put on my robe and my slippers. I opened the sliding doors that led to the
balcony. Once you got out there all you could see was the dark waves moving back and fourth, and light from
other rooms reflecting in the water. It was actually peaceful out there... until i heard a knock on the glass
behind me. It was John. He opened the door and came out to stand next to me."Uh, hi. I just wanted to come and see how you were feeling. I came before, but I was told that I wasn't
allowed in." "You were?""Unfortunately... Anyway, I can see that you have a bruise." "Yes, isn't it gorgeous? It makes me look twenty-thousand times better than before, right?And by
the way... who told you that you couldn't see me?""Take a guess..." "Oh my god. Are you serious?""I wouldn't lie to you about that." "... about THAT... What about, about ANYTHING?... You wouldn't lie to me about ANYTHING
right?""... Right, yea. Sure... I wouldn't lie to you..." "Good. Anyway, I heard you got the pleasure of sharing a room, too.""Yea, they put me and Maryse together... Ugh... You know how I can't stand her." "Oh, yea. I would kill myself being put in a room with her.""Yea, well... This guy over here isn't much better..." "Yea, he's ok. It's not terrible yet.""I bet it will be. I bet he's gonna give you hell." "Maybe, maybe not... Who knows?""Sure... Anyway I'm gonna go, it's pretty late. I'll see you in the morning." "Uh, ok." He gave me a kiss and left. Though he seemed normal for the most part, something seemed
different. I don't know what. I'm not even sure if it had to do with John or not. All I knew, was that something
felt different.
I finally came in from outside and I laid down on the bed. I was so exhausted. I ended up falling asleep. ..................................................................................................................... I woke up in the middle of the night and I was under the blankets and the lights were off. The shades for
outside were closed and the double doors were shut. I heard snoring coming from behind the doors. I was
assuming that Ted was sleeping. He always told me that he had an issue with snoring. I was just falling back to sleep when m phone rang. It was three o'clock in the morning. Who could
possibly be calling me? It was John. I picked up the phone and went to speak, when I heard something going on. There was
giggling, and words that were hard to make out. I could tell there was a girl with him. I didn't know what was
going on. I took my phone and ran into the bathroom, I turned the light on and sat on the sink. I couldn't hear
that well so I put it on speaker. I made sure it was somewhat low enough that Ted couldn't hear it. Disgusting
noises came from that phone. It was obvious that I had just been cheated on. I heard the words, "OoH John,"
and I hung up. I couldn't deal with this. Not now, not ever. I really thought back to when me and John had our
first date. He always just liked me because he knew someone else wanted me. I bet he never even liked me
for myself. He just liked the me that stood around and followed him everywhere. I felt so horrible. I started crying. Then I reminded myself that he is NOT worth it. I immediately stopped
crying and went to get my clothes. I got fully dressed and walked out of my room. John had left me his room
number just incase I needed anything. I searched through the halls for the number on the little slip of paper. I had finally found it. I knocked on the
door. John came to the door with no shirt on and jean shorts... and of course the accessory I was looking
for... Marsye. She was so close to him, she looked glued to his hip. He looked like he wanted to drop dead right in front of me. I walked up to him and slapped him. "I'm so happy you would never lie to me... Doesn't matter anymore because I'm never talking to
you again. Oh and don't expect me to start crying in hysterics because I won't... you are NOT worth it!" I slammed the door behind me and walked back to my room. Once I was back in my room I slammed the door and went for my pajamas. I got changed again
and went back to bed. ...................................................................................................................... That morning I woke up and immediately ran to the bathroom. I puked. I was so upset from last
night that my nerves forced me to throw up."Jesus, and I have to use the same bathroom? God, I don't want to be around here if you're gonna start
puking up a storm." "Goodmorning to you, too.""What's the matter? Jerkface turned out to be a... jerkface? It's fine. I already warned you. And he's not worth
it anyway." "How did you even find out?""Not only do you THINK outloud... You DREAM outloud, too... Very loudly, too." "Great.""Plus, I heard the noises from the phone, and I heard you start crying too... You left the bathroom door
open..." "Even better... Can I ask you something?""Sure, why not." "Uh... Don't you hate me?""No. Why would I hate you?" "Because of the whole thing that happened last year? We haven't spoken since then... so I
figured you hated me...""Hate is a strong word. I don't hate you. I don't dislike you either. I was mad... and now I'm not." "Took you long enough...""Yea well. There were days that I felt like coming up to you and apologizing..." "What stopped you?" He just looked at me. Then someone knocked on Ted's door. It was Cody."Hey, Me and Randy wanted to know if you wanted to go to the gym with us. They have one here... ISN'T
THAT COOL?!" Cody sounded so excited."Uh, sure give me a few minutes. I'm still in my pajamas incase you hadn't noticed." Ted answered back
sarcastically."Oh, ok. Well, we'll be down there so you can just look for us." Cody closed walked out and closed the door."...Uh... Not to be rude or anything but do you think I can get ready... in here. Like... without you in here..." "Jesus Ted, you're so inconsiderate of my feelings... Just kidding. Yea, you can get ready in here. I'll
just get out now.""Oh ok. Thanks." I got out and immediately called Nicolette and Francesca. I told them to get over here so I could tell
them about my night. I was dying to see their reaction to what happened. Knowing them, they would tell me to
get even with him. They never liked John. No one ever did. I, myself, didn't actually like him that much. I think
the only reason I stayed with him, was because he made me not think about Ted. But in all reality, I thought
about Ted more when I was with him. Francesca and Nicolette came in without even knocking and sat on the bed."What happened?! Tell us EVERYTHING!" They said at the same time. "Ok, well..."
