Desserts For The People
The Beginning of the end
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*Successful people go from one failure to another without losing themselves.*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*But right now I feel like I am losing myself*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*Clutching my chest,
I try to get my heart to slow
down, or else I’ll seriously feel
sick. *😭
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*Actually I think I will vomit anyway*
Emma
(Slides a glass of water)
Heaven Wilson(FL)
Are you—are you sure?
Emma
You saw it yourself,
Heaven (Whisper)
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*She’s right. I saw it. It was clear in the screenshot she just showed me.*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*I don't wanna cry in my office*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
Do what?
Emma
That. Wonder
where it all went wrong. Whatever you did to turn your boyfriend into a
jackass.
Emma
He was always a jackass. You just
never noticed
Heaven Wilson(FL)
What do I do. . .(She struggles to speak loud all that could come out of her mouth without crying was a whisper)
Emma
You dump his sorry ass
Emma
Then
you run him over. Splat him like a bug over the crosswalk. Then you take
his corpse and—
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*It just doesn't make any sense, why he would cheat.*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*Except… Except it does make sense why Alex would cheat on me*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*I’ve seen him
pick up his phone and bring it
with him, even if he was moving from the couch to the fridge
All the late meetings he’s
been to, lasted way too long on Friday
nights
And the lack of ANY physical contact in the last month*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
(She looks once again at the screenshot)
Alex D., looking for one time only hookups.
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*That's what my bf wrote on internet*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
* That's how u express interest in this app. You swipe Right*
Emma
Heaven? Shit, maybe I shouldn't have told you at work.
Heaven Wilson(FL)
How could he do this (mumbles)
Heaven Wilson(FL)
Why would he?
Emma
Because you two have been unhappy for 2 years
Emma
And he is just a coward who is afraid to say he doesn't Love you anymore So...
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*How long has he been cheating?*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*6 months?*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*1 year?*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*Atleast a month, because that's when emma told me she saw him come out of a hotel with some blonde woman*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
Do you think he found that blonde woman in the same app OneLife?
Emma
Maybe, does it matter?
Heaven Wilson(FL)
It's just he said the hotel was a client and she works there. And I believed him.
The beginning of the end (part 2)
Emma
It’s not your fault, H. He’s your boyfriend. You’ve been
together forfive yea
Heaven Wilson(FL)
But you told me. You told
me that they were more than
friendly with each other. That
he had his arm around her shoulder and—
Emma
Sometimes
it’s easier to believe a lie than the truth.
Emma
Tell me you'll break up with him.
Heaven Wilson(FL)
Ofcourse I will.
Emma
(Sighs of relief 😮💨)
Heaven Wilson(FL)
I’ll do it after work.
I’ll just go home and . . *I’ll
go home and break up with my
boyfriend. The man I thought
I’d marry one day.*
Emma
All right. You can stay at
my place if you need some
time.
Emma
(When H's eyes don’t
leave the phone, Emma sighs and locks the screen)
Emma
H, are you listening to
me?
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*I am, but I don’t want to
stay at her place. Emma is
more than messy,and compared to her apartment, mine is
as clean as a hospital.*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*I felt like My heart sinks an inch
deeper into my chest. The apartment. The beautiful place Alex and I rent together.*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*We signed a lease for it, and it won’t expire for the next four months.*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
The lease
Emma
Nah,
don’t worry.He can’t refuse to
pay. You’d both beheld accountable.
Heaven Wilson(FL)
Oh,
f**k. Emma, it’s in my name.
Not his.
Emma
Can you afford the rent alone?
Heaven Wilson(FL)
(Shakes her head no)
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*It’d be eighty percent of my wage*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*I tuck some loose, wavy strands of hair behind my ears and move my elbows off the table. It’s sticky, covered in fingerprints, scratched. If I had my products I could fix it. There's something soothing about bringing order during chaos*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
It’s
all right. He won’t refuse to pay. He’s
not a bad person, jus—
Heaven Wilson(FL)
He's.....not evil
Emma
Not
like he’s cheap. He always pays for dinner, showers you with gifts. He doesn't
suppress every aspect of your personality
he doesn’t enjoy.
Emma
And he ’s so very honest and faithful.
Just the kind of guy who’d never do something so petty
Heaven Wilson(FL)
You made your point
Emma
My point?? (she places a hand on her chest)
Heaven Wilson(FL)
Maybe I should just try and talk to him.Explain—
Emma
No, Heaven. I
know he’s your boyfriend and you think you know him, but trust me, my dad’s told me all
sorts of horrific stories. once you break up,
the person you thought you knew is gone.
Emma's dad is a divorce lawyer
Heaven Wilson(FL)
All right, I’ll wait. The lease
expires in four months. Worse comes to
worst . . . I’ll break up with him then.
Home not so sweet home
Alex wasn't home when Heaven returned back.
Heaven looks at the mirror in bathroom.
Heaven Wilson(FL)
My eyes are
sunken back, and a shadowy hue of black and
purple encircles the amber I’m accustomed
to. My plump lips are slightly cracked,my
nose red. I look like a mess.
Heaven Wilson(FL)
I am going to fix this chaos.
Sound of front door open and close.
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*It must be Alex*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
Hydrating
Heaven Wilson(FL)
Scrubbing
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*I wouldn’t normally waste my time
on all this. Sure, it’s a temporary hideout, but I’ll take
whatever I can get.*
Alex (FL's ex)
The food is here. Why are you taking so
long? Are you getting ready for a wedding?
Heaven quickly wraps a towel and runs off to bedroom
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*God forbid he should get any ideas if he sees
me naked. When he’s back, I’m going to wear my
most unsexy orange sweatshirt and a pair of
leggings*
Alex (FL's ex)
I got you a burrito bowl
Heaven takes a
deep,calming breath and enter the white-
on-white living room.
He's already eating and doesn't notice Heaven
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*I pray he’ll
manage to keep the food in his plate. I
think of saying something, but he’ll call me
a nag. He’ll say that I’m too tense, that a little dirt never hurt anyone*
Heaven Wilson(FL)
Thank you
Alex barely nods he is busy watching TV
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*I used to adore his sandy blond
undercut, the way a couple of locks always
fall onto his forehead. I loved his eyes the
most.They’re a deep cobalt blue, and the
hues in them remind me of the sky. I always
told him there’s a storm in his eyes.*
Heaven tries to focus on her food
Heaven's eyes move to him again. To the shape
of his jaw, the straight line of his nose
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*I hate him*
Heaven remembers his profile on toonder (looking for one-time-only hookups) It was a picture she took of him before his cousin's wedding.
Heaven Wilson(FL)
(After dinner Heaven cleans up the table)
Heaven Wilson(FL)
*She then cleans the last mug*
She suddenly remembers the picture again
Heaven Wilson(FL)
One-time-only hookups, huh?
Heaven Wilson(FL)
You got it alex
