Chapter Nine

So the next morning I woke up real early...okay like 9:00, that early to me. I took a shower, my make up, got dressed, well you know the girl stuff. I was just trying to look nice.

Yeah right! I was really just trying do avoid what I had planned for the day. You see my plans weren't anything that I really wanted to do. I mean what girl wants to go back to her cheating ex boyfriends house to ask for his side of the story? I mean then he'll like know that I'm having second thoughts about dumping him which will totally get Rob's ego way up and will cause me major embarrassment!!!

Oh yep, I'm in love alright.

Well so after I finally could not put it off anymore I took my mom's car, and drove to Rob's house. I knocked on his door, no answer, I looked into the front window, no one. But then when I had decided to give up I heard yelling and cursing coming from inside the barn. I ran over to the barn to see Rob with his two fingers in his month.

"Rob are you okay?" I walked over to him.
"Yeah I'm alright." But ask I walked over closer to him I could tell that he wasn't alright.
"Let me see your fingers," they were burnt, "Oh my God Rob how did this happen?" I lead him over to the first aid kit where I found the proper supplies to fix his burns.
"I was fixing my motorcycle and I heard something from outside and when I turned I hit my fingers on pipe."
"Oh that was probably me that you heard, I'm sorry." I was looking down at his fingers while I was bandaging them.
Rob, with his other hand, lifted up my chin so he could look me in the eyes. God his eyes were beautiful.
"Are you really?" I knew what he was talking about.
"Yeah Rob, I'm really sorry that I distracted you." I knew that wasn't what he was asking but that's all I could say. I mean yes I still loved Rob but I would never be with him if he wasn't true to me.

Rob let go of my chin and looked down at the ground while I fixed his fingers. When I was done he quickly pushed off the car which he had been leaning on and went back to work barley mumbling a "thank you".

"Why are you here Mastriani?" His back was too me and I could feel the tears already forming.

"I wanted to talk to you?"

"About what? I mean I don't think there's anything left to say."

"You know what I'm talking about Rob! And there is a hell of a lot to say!" I let the tears roam free now.

Rob whipped around real fast and pinned me to the closest wall, "I do know what you're talking about and I do know they're a lot to be said but let's remember here who stormed off with out an explanation."

"No Rob let's remember here who cheated?"

"Damn it Jess I have never been unfaithful to you! Ever! Even before we started to date! I can't believe you would even think that of me! It shows how much you think of me!" Rob looked me in the eyes, "Oh I see now. You've heard all the things about grits, and you believe them. You've heard how grits treat their wives and girlfriends, how we cheat on them and beat them. I get it now." Rob walked away from me and out of the barn.

I was shocked I mean what the hell was he talking about? Well okay I did know what he was talking about because well yes I've heard those things but I never stereotyped Rob or anyone else like that ever! Oh now I was mad!

I ran to catch up to Rob and when I finally had I called out his name and when he turned around I punched him right in the nose. As soon as my fist made contact with him blood poured out of his nose and onto the ground.

"You broke my nose! I can't believe you broke my nose!" Rob stumbled backwards and fell to the ground.

"Well you disserved it!" I started to walk away but I couldn't, so I reluctantly jogged back to where Rob was sitting on the ground trying to stop the bleeding.

"Oh Rob I'm soooo sorry! I'm soooooo sorry! Please let me help!" I feel to the ground next to him and kissed to top of his head and held him in my arms.
