From the sound of the buzzing alarm, Cosmo woke up in a second, groaning as she hit the snooze button on the nightstand. She checked the time to see that it was only 7:00am. She always got up at this time to go see her father at the nursing home and to see if they were treating him well. She was still a little unsure and she has tried several times to convince her father to stay with her so that she could take care of him, considering that she knew how some nursing homes were and they were known for abuse, but her father has always assured her that he was ok, that she had nothing to worry about. Needless to say, she would always worry. After all, he's been taking care of her all her life growing up until he had to send her to the boarding school. Then she learned to take care of herself as time went on.
She saw Justin, asleep after getting home at 5 in the morning, smelling of cigarettes, weed and who knew what else. She sat up and took one of the smokes from her drawer and she started lighting up a cigarette, inhaling it as much as she could before she burnt it out on the ashtray.
She also looked to see her phone beeping. She checked her text messages and saw that she had a missed call from Skylar, as to what she loved to call her Ms. Glam Bam. She would be sure to make a mental note to call her back.
Then she had gotten a few text messages from her old girlfriends back from her old neighborhood, who were as free spirited as she was. But she also saw a text from Seth. She smiled, hoping that his girlfriend Leila said yes to his proposal and that she hoped he had a really great birthday.
She opened the text message and read it:
''Do you think you can meet me by the park around noon?
Or do you think I can meet up with you in some way?
We need to talk. I really need your help, Tinkerbell..please.
-Seth.
Cosmo couldn't help but find the text to be very..vague. Not only that, she had a gut feeling that something was wrong. She relaxed for a moment and texted him back.
''I do have a photo-shoot today Skylar's company, Mad World.
But you can meet me there.
It ends around one and when you have your lunch break or earlier,
you can see me there and we can talk.''
She stretched for a moment and then she kissed Muffin, who was sleeping in her bed and then she went into the bathroom, turning the dials on the shower as she stepped inside the warm water, washing her body and then she washed her face. She stepped out, dried off and then she brushed her teeth and did the rest of her hygiene ritual as she stepped out, going into her closet to find something to wear. She slipped on her green bra and pink panties, her light green skinny jeans with a yellow tank top and then she slipped on her jacket, brushing her green hair back into a bun. She did her usual makeup: light green eye shadow, a bit of green blush and some glossy pink lips. She put on her headband, made of colorful butterflies, making it look 3D and real, seeing as how she made it. She slipped on her rainbow converse and as she grabbed her jacket and keys, she heard coughing, seeing Justin waking up. She smiled at him.
''Hey honey. How'd you sleep?'' She fixed up her hair again, grabbing her cell phone.
''Where you going?'' He asked, taking one of the cigarettes out of the pack, lighting it up.
''I'm going to visit my father at the nursing home. You know how close we are. Not only that, I have a photoshoot to go to for Skylar.''
''You're going to see your father? Why do you always spend so much time with the old man?'' He rolled his eyes, falling back on the bed.
''He's my father. We have a close relationship.'' She huffed, telling him once again for the umpteenth time.
''Well, I have a mom and dad but even I don't feel like seeing them everyday.''
''We actually didn't go to see your parents like you said we would. In fact, you wanted to just have sex in the backseat of your car and then when we got to your parents house, you knew that they were out of town and divorced. So that was yet ANOTHER lie you told me.'' She glared at him.
Justin just shrugged, rolling over to his side. ''Look, can you stop bringing it up? I apologized for it and besides, you were happy and satisfied when I fucked you.''
''Yeah, for 20 seconds before you blew your load.'' She wanted to say. ''Listen, I'm also going to be a little late. I am going to hang out with Seth. I want to know how his birthday went.''
''Why can't you just call him?'' He sat up, blowing his nose and then he tossed it on the floor. Cosmo shivered with disgust.
''Because he's my friend. And can you please pick up that tissue? It's disgusting, we have a trashcan.''
She grabbed her purse and kissed Muffin. ''Before you leave out today, can you wash the dishes in the sink and take out the trash?''
''Sure bro.'' He nodded, taking out the stash of weed, ready to smoke it up.
''Thank you.'' She went over to kiss his lips and then she stopped by the kitchen, feeding Muffin her bowl of dog food, then she went into the fridge and grabbed a mango pineapple smoothie and a bagel and headed out the door. She had to work tonight, which sucked but she was a night owl. She was use to it. Now after she took care of her father, she would go see Seth, trying to figure out what was going on and what he needed to talk about with her.
Despite last night, work was still work as Seth taught the new members the new training methods and helped them with the equipment. He was glad that Cosmo responded back to his text. He just didn't know who to talk to. He would talk to Roman and Dean, since they would know eventually but at the moment, he didn't want them to know.
It was close to his lunch break as he was sweating himself. He was glad to have himself a work out early this morning before they opened up. He couldn't stop thinking about last night. He only cried for a little while before he went to sleep, not even going to the concert and canceled the reservations at the restaurant where they had their first date. He still couldn't get over Leila's betrayal.
He sighed heavily, trying not to be so stressed about it but he couldn't stop playing how the breakup went over and over in his mind. As much as he tried to focus on work, his heart was weighing down pretty heavy.
Dean Ambrose came by, tapping him on the shoulder as Seth looked up.
''Hey man, are you alright?'' Dean furrowed his brows.
Seth sighed, nodding his head. ''It could be better but..I'm ok.''
''How did the engagement go with Leila?'' He asked. Seth took the rubber-band out of his hair, playing with the elastic for a few moments before he slipped it back on. ''She and I decided to go our separate ways.''
''Damn. Sorry man. How come?'' He asked while grabbing a towel, heading to the shower stalls.
''Just some usual bullshit she was on. Nothing else and nothing more.'' He said as he went into his locker, grabbing his things and going into a different stall, ready to wash away the sweat so he could go to lunch and see Cosmo for a little while, before he had to head back to work.
AN HOUR LATER
''Ok Ms. Valencia, one more change into another outfit and then we'll be good to go'' The photographer told her.
Cosmo nodded and then she let the makeup artists help her with her makeup as Skylar and her chose another outfit. The theme consisted of Spring and Summer so Cosmo, Naomi, Cameron, and the Bellas were happy to help out Skylar.
Skylar noticed she was distracted. ''What's wrong darling?'' She asked.
Cosmo shook her head and smiled. Cosmo was in a very good after seeing her father doing well. They played UNO cards for awhile and then they talked about what was going on today. Her father had suffered a stroke twice and he was also suffering from Alzheimer's.
She would always do what she could to protect him. She tried to ask one of the nurses if she could take her father out to the park but they had strict rules so the best Cosmo could do was to just give her father as much attention as he needed whether he was repeating the same stories or just talking about what was going on with today in the world. Then each day before she left, they said a prayer together as she would give him a kiss on top of his forehead before she left to go on with her day.
After they finished her makeup of a light blue eye-shadow and a glossy dark blue and purple lipstick, she got dressed in a strapless white and blue floral dress with blue baby-doll platform wedges. They slipped on her feather blue earrings and then they put a blue bow in her hair, even though it didn't really match, considering how green hair was Cosmo's trademark, it was only business.
After everyone had their pictures done, Cosmo was last. She stepped in front of the floral background and she posed a few times, smiling and blowing a kiss. She also caught a glimpse of Seth as he gave her a weak smile.
''Ok Ms. Valencia. A few more shots and then we'll be done.'' The photographer said as she posed a few more times, smiling.
They finished in ten minutes as Cosmo gave Skylar a hug.
''Thank you so much for the help. Oh and I see Seth too. Hi Sethie.'' Skylar went over and hugged Seth who returned the hug smiling.
''Hey there, sweetheart. How's my princess?'' He asked, talking about Karissa.
''Well she misses you. But I have the card she wanted to give you for your birthday yesterday.'' Skylar handed him the card as Seth took it, smiling.
''Thanks. Give her a hug and kiss for me when you get the chance. I have to get back to work a little later.''
''Sure. Umm..is everything alright Seth? You're not in your usual joking self.'' Skylar questioned, seeing as how bloodshot Seth's eyes were and how his mood just seemed so deflated.
''Yeah I'm fine. I just have a lot on my mind. But thanks for asking.'' He gave Skylar a kiss on the temple and she smiled warmly, saying goodbye as Cosmo and him walked down the hall.
''Let me just change into some clothes and then we can head out.'' She smiled as she grabbed her bag and then she went to the ladies stall and changed into her regular clothing as she headed back out.
They were in the park as they sat on the bench, near the lake. The birds were chirping and a few hummingbirds would stop by, the sun rays shining beautifully. They also stopped by the coffee shop to get some iced coffee. Cosmo could always tell when something was wrong with Seth and she was here to help as long as he needed her.
''Sorry that my face looks like shit after I washed all the makeup off.'' She chuckled, trying to be a little humorous. Seth gave her a soft smile.
''You still look like a Tinkerbell, even without all the makeup.'' He would grin, even though his grin was very weak.
''So what's on your mind, Sethie?'' She questioned as he would often stare out into the lake. He put his head down.
''Leila dumped me yesterday. She has been cheating on me this whole time with her ex boyfriend. She was planning to break up with me all this time. I overheard her saying it to him as she was on the phone. She accidentally pocket dialed me..then she just confessed it all and just left, not even...'' He sighed, closing his eyes and when he opened them, Cosmo could see that they were filled with pain.
''Seth, I'm so sorry.'' She rubbed his back, her heart aching, seeing the pain in his brown eyes. Words wouldn't really fix anything, but the least she could do was be there for him and she would listen.
''I just don't understand. Her ex boyfriend is horrible. She would always cry and come to me whenever he cheated on her or broke her heart. He even laid his hands on her a few times and yet..'' He sighed heavily. ''We've been together for 10 years. I would be willing to forgive her if she told me something was wrong. I didn't even know she was unhappy. Maybe I am to blame for her leaving me.''
Cosmo took Seth's hand in hers, squeezing it. ''No it's not sweetheart. You can't accept responsibility for what she's done.''
Seth shook his head in disbelief. ''That's just hard to believe, considering that all she would do is blame me for whenever I didn't give her enough. If she wanted more I would've given her more.''
''I know you would have. But you're letting this weigh so heavily on your heart when there's no need. You didn't push her to cheat.''
''So why would she do it?'' He looked at her.
Cosmo sighed and thought about it, trying to find the right words before she spoke. ''I can't speak for her and I'm not going to defend her for what she's done. Honestly, she's really stupid to hurt you this way. In time, she will see that it was her downfall. But you can't accept the blame for her leaving. Sometimes, we get a little too use with the people we're around, and then that's when the drifting starts. Even in a great relationship, cracks can usually form within.''
''...Maybe I did take her for granted..'' He sipped more of his coffee, setting it down beside him.
''Well say if you did. It gives her no right to hurt you this way. And the more you accept the blame for what she's done, the more power you're giving to her to mess with your head and your emotions. I know it won't be easy to get over..and I won't lie, it's going to hurt for awhile..but you are a strong and determined and I know for a fact that you will bounce right back.'' Cosmo said with a gentle smile, soothing him.
Seth smiled at her as she would pull him into a hug, rubbing his back. She couldn't hear him crying, but she could feel the wet tears as they would stream on her top. Needless to say, it was a good thing they were in a far away spot at the park, away from everyone else.
They stopped to grab a few sandwiches at a nearby pub before Seth realized he had to go back to work.
''Listen, I won't be off work until maybe 9. You think you can stop by and we can just..'' He shrugged, looking down playing with his low ponytail.
Cosmo smiled as she pecked his cheek. ''Sure. Justin won't mind at all. We can catch a movie back at my place.''
''Thanks Tinker bell.'' He chuckled.
Cosmo bit her green nails before she waved goodbye to him as he hopped into his car. She was still concerned for Seth but she knew that he would be ok and he would make it through this. It would take some time but she would be there for her when he needed it.
She decided to go see her father and see if Skylar had some free time on her hands to hang out with her as she called for a cab and waited until it came to pick her up.
Cosmo and Seth met up after work and had a few drinks and Cosmo smoked a few cigarettes as they talked for a little while. She didn't want to be home too late to where Justin would basically accuse her of cheating or screwing around and as usual, she would always tell Justin the TRUTH: She has never cheated on him.
She was hoping all three of them could hang out to watch the movie back at her place, just for a quiet evening. Seth wasn't sure if he wanted to come, seeing as how he didn't want to be the third wheel but she told him that it was ok and that he wasn't the third wheel. But when it came to Seth and his stubborn mood, it was easier said than done.
They made it back to her place but as they pulled the car to a stop, Cosmo could see people..a lot of people coming in and out of her house. It looked to be a party.
''I didn't know you were throwing a party.'' Seth was confused.
''Yeah, I didn't know either.'' She hopped out the car, with him right behind her.
They were drinking and smoking and there was guys and girls but it seemed to be a lot of girls than guys. What really pissed off Cosmo was that Justin was high as a kite, smoking a bong as he had two females on his lap, giggling and flirting as his gambling buddies were practically gambling away all their stuff, as to Justin didn't even care if he lost.
She noticed to see that it was HER stuff being gambled away and lost in bets and Justin wasn't doing a damn thing about it.
The loud music was pumping as she went over to the radio and then she unplugged it. Everyone groaned, whined and complained at the music being cut off.
''Oh shut the fuck up!'' Cosmo screeched. ''This is NOT happening. Everyone get the FUCK OUT!''
Seth was a little surprised when he seen Cosmo react like this, seeing as she was calm and peaceful. But he wasn't surprised. He would be pissed too if there was people he didn't know that invaded his home.
''Get out, Everyone get out!'' Seth told them as everyone was leaving. As a few people were leaving with Cosmo's things, he snatched them back.
Cosmo dragged the two girls off Justin, all of them glaring at her.
''Hey, bitch what's your problem?'' a blonde said.
''My problem is that if you don't get the hell out, I'm going to have my fist connect to your fucking face! Now get out!'' She told them as she would order each and everyone of them to get out. Justin was still high but he was pretty pissed at Cosmo.
''Why the fuck didn't you call first before you showed up?'' He said agitated.
''Are you getting upset with me right now? You not only threw a party here without letting me know and you were practically gambling away all my stuff and to top it all off, you had two girls in your fucking lap?'' Cosmo was seriously seeing red right now and was on the verge of tearing out his blonde hair.
''It's not like we had sex in front of you.'' Justin got up, pulling up his jeans as they would love to slouch down, always showing his boxers.
''Seth..is it ok if you step outside please? I need to talk with Justin.'' She murmured.
Seth was reluctant but he understood, giving a glare to Justin as Justin mirrored it as Seth went outside.
Çosmo was so furious, she didn't even know where to begin. Hell it was more like she wanted to slap Justin's stupid face.
''Honestly, I've had enough of this crap.'' Cosmo tone was far from calm, seeping with anger. ''You never seem to respect me and all you do is constantly act like a fucking kid!''
''You know what?'' Justin took his bong, standing up. ''First of all, I'm not a little kid. I'm a grown ass man. I've dealt with your ass for years with your constant nagging and bitching and we need to make some changes around here.''
''You know what? That's something we both agree on. In fact-'' She said as she walked down the hall, going into their bedroom.
Cosmo went into their bedroom, but saw a couple having sex in the hallway closet as it creaked open for her view. She went into the bathroom, grabbed a bucket of ice cold water and then dumped it on them, screaming at them to get out as they ran out the backdoor, naked. She went into the bedroom and then she got all of Justin's clothes, shoes and other belongings and put it in a box and went back out and threw it at him as he had to catch it from falling all over, making a mess.
''Cosmo, what is all this?'' He sniffled his nose.
''What do you think? This is all of your stuff. I want you out of my house, right now.''
''Candy love, wait a minute. We can work this out.'' He found himself laughing, the drug still in his system. Cosmo could feel the tears burning in the back of her eyes, seeing as how Justin wasn't even himself anymore. He didn't give a damn about anyone but himself.
''Just get out Justin. Get the hell out of my house. Don't call me, don't text me, don't even email me on Facebook. Just get out. I'm being very nice about it, but you are really trying my patience and pissing me off even more than what you are right now.''
''Baby, please I'm sorry.'' He handed the box back to her but she shoved it back. ''Just give me another chance.''
''You've had too many chances. I'm sick of it. Now please leave.''
Since Justin wouldn't budge, she grabbed the box of his things and went to the door, but he fell to his knees, grabbing her by her pants leg.
''Please candy love. I know I fucked up. But-But let me make it up to you. Come on now..remember when we first had our kiss and we promised each other that no matter what, we wouldn't let anything come between us?''
Cosmo sighed heavily as she looked at the sadness and puppy dog eyes of Justin's green eyes. She would always fall for the sob story and she would always wound up taking him back. But not this time.
''We need to take a break, Justin. I need some time alone.''
''Cosmo, those girls didn't mean anything.'' He begged, trying to form tears into his eyes and Cosmo tried to shake him off her leg.
''Just get out right now Justin. I don't care where you go but you can't stay here.''
''This is our home, Cosmo! How are you going to kick me out of your home?!''
''This is MY home, Justin. You moved in with me when your parents got sick of you living in their basement. You've disrespected me more than once and I'm tired of it. I don't even know why I let it go on for so long. But enough is enough. Now get out.'' She could already feel a migraine coming in steadily.
Despite that he was still on her pants-leg, she dragged herself to the door and opened it, setting his things outside. Seth saw what was going on and went over to Cosmo.
''Look, man you need to just leave. She doesn't want to see you and you need to go.'' He warned him.
Justin's eyes went dark as he got up, glaring at Seth. ''This is none of your fucking business, stay out of it!''
''Justin, please don't start. Just get out and you'll make this easier on all of us.''
Justin's eyes started to get a little crazy, staring at Cosmo and Seth.
''So you were fucking around on me? You slept with him? Huh?'' He went over to get in Seth's face, but Seth didn't back down, staring into his. Cosmo didn't want a fight to break out so she stepped between them.
''Just stop it Justin. Just leave and-''
But Justin didn't listen as he shoved her, hitting her head near the railing, some blood coming from the side of her temple. Seth completely lost it and punched Justin in the jaw, knocking him down as he went over to Cosmo. She got up, luckily the hit wasn't too hard but it still hurt like hell. She was able to stand on her two feet.
''Cosmo..I'm sorry I didn't-''
''Just get the fuck out! Get out right now or I'm going to stomp your face into the ground.'' Seth snapped at him, his anger taking over as he helped Cosmo up. Even though it was an accident, the fact that Justin shoved her and she hit her head, some blood coming from the side really flew him into a rage.
Justin was still on the ground, rubbing his jaw from the punch as Seth and Cosmo went inside and closed the door, locking it. Eventually, Justin grabbed his things and gave them both the finger before he left on his way.
As Cosmo sat on the sofa, Seth grabbed a paper towel and went into the freezer to get some ice for her, wrapping it up, going to her as he helped her to put it on her cut on her temple. She groaned but smiled.
''Thank you..'' She smiled. ''I can never seem to..oww my head.''
''Just relax tinkerbell. You'll be ok.'' He rubbed her back, as she held the ice pack on her cut carefully. Luckily, the cut wasn't so bad but Seth was being the nurse at the moment so she didn't complain. It was just how he was.
Cosmo told her that there was some alcohol in the closet and he went to go retrieve it, helping her put a bit of the alcohol on the cut as she winced a little. She smiled at him.
''Thank you, Ninja.'' She smiled softly. He helped her keep the ice pack on her.
''Wait a minute.'' She sat up. ''Where's Muffin?''
She held the icepack, calling for her dog, Muffin. ''Muffin? Muffin where are you?''
She heard tiny whimpering and then she could see that Muffin was outside, tied to a leash. She unhooked the leash and held her cute puppy in her arms. She even looked as though she hasn't even eaten.
''Idiot. I swear he's an idiot.'' She huffed, putting some dog food into Muffin's bowl. Seth agreed.
''Um, I'm sorry do you want a beer?'' She asked, going into the fridge.
''I'll take a root beer for the night.'' He said as she gave him the bottle taking the A&W root beer and popping it open, drinking it as she took one for herself, pouring it into a glass while mixing it with vodka and whiskey. She downed it, coughing a little from the burning of the alcohol.
Cosmo sighed, seeing as how they trashed her whole house. Seth took her hand, rubbing it.
''I'm sorry about what happened.'' He sighed, seeing how sad she was.
''It's ok.'' She shook her head. ''Sadly, I'm not surprised, to say the least. I just had to kick him out. I was so sick of his shit.''
She drank some more of her alcoholic root beer and decided to find a dust pan and a broom to start cleaning up the trash. Seth looked around, seeing Muffin trying to go up to his leg, panting and looking sad and he bent down to rub her furry head. Then they both looked up as they heard a wail.
Seth picked up Muffin as they headed down the hall to where Cosmo was. She wasn't in the hallway but they heard her from outside. They went outside to see that she was near her garden, or in this case, what use to be like her garden.
The flowers she panted were all stomped on and they smelt of beer, beer bottles, food, and all kinds of trash. There were condoms wrappers, and cigarette butts trashed all around, her flowers stomped on and torn out. Needless to say, Cosmo was very heartbroken. She worked really hard in her garden and Justin knew how much it meant to her. Now it was destroyed. Seth bent down as she was still on her knees, holding the crushed roses in her hand, trying to pick off the cigarette ashes.
''Cosmo..oh my god, I'm sorry.'' He bent down with her, setting Muffin down as she whimpered, trying to climb into Cosmo's lap. Seth looked in her eyes to see that they were filled with tears.
''It was more than just a garden. I just worked really hard on it and-'' Her tears came down and Seth pulled her into a hug, gently caressing her back as she sobbed.
''It's ok sweetheart. I'll help you fix it again. In fact, I'll stay the night so we can clean up and get started on it tomorrow.'' He smiled, wiping her eyes with his thumb. She was just so sweet and adorable.
Cosmo rubbed her eyes and smiled softly. ''Ok then. Thank you so much..''
''Anytime Tinkerbell..'' He smiled.
