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.
