Chapter 78 - I'm Sorry
I woke up to Lin knocking on my door, before I could say anything he peeked his head in.
"Morning, sorry to wake you, I'm ordering room service, what do you want to eat?" He was holding the room phone in his hand.
"Yeah, um, just a glass of orange juice." I smiled, pushing myself up in bed.
"I believe I asked you what you wanted to eat." He repeated.
"Ok." I rolled my eyes, "can I have a roll, and like a mango or something?" I asked.
"Yeah, thanks." He repeated my order into the phone, closing my door. I yawned and my phone buzzed next to me.
(Meet you by the pool in 20? That is if you're up.)
It was from Hunter, I smiled and responded.
(Yeah! Be there in 20.)
I set my phone down, and changed into a second swimsuit, this one was black, and pretty basic, kind of classic, like yesterday, this came with a little black dress to go over it. I pulled the dress over and I stepped out of my room.
"Shh." Lin shushed me right as I left the room, "V's still sleeping." He pointed to Vanessa who was next to him in bed, fast asleep."
"It's 11:00." I said, pulling on flip flops.
"I know, she's the sleepiest." He smiled, "food should be here soon."
"Ok." I smiled and sat down. The food got to our room in about 3 minutes, when it did, I wolfed down the roll, and took the mango with me to the pool. On my way, my phone started ringing, I picked it up.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hi babe." It was William.
"Oh, hi!" I smiled.
"It's lunchtime here so I thought I'd call you."
"Ah, thanks that's nice, I actually just woke up like 15 minutes ago." I giggled.
"Roonie, you realize we're in the same time zone right?" He asked.
"Yes, but I'm on vacation."
"Alright, so what are you having for breakfast?" He asked.
"A mango." I said, looking down at the half eaten fruit.
"Random, anyways, how was your dinner with the captain?" He asked.
"It was nice, he seems like a nice man, although it was weird, you kind of feel like you don't really belong, you know? Like, we're supposed to be VIP's here, but I'm just like, a kid. I didn't do anything special."
"Yeah I get what you mean. I have a splitting headache."
"Oh, why? Are you ok?" I asked, suddenly concerned.
"Yeah, I went to a party last night, it was crazy loud, I think that might be it." He said.
"Ok, well, drink lots of water." I didn't know what to say. Other than aspirin, I don't know the cure for a headache.
"Ok, class is starting in like 5 minutes, I should go, I love you Abigail."
"I love you too." I smiled and hung up the phone, I set it down next to me, and saw that Hunter had occupied the empty chair to my right.
"Who was that?" He asked.
"My boyfriend." I smiled.
"Ah, what's his name?" He asked.
"William, William Hoffman." I said.
"He sounds nice, I mean, based on what I heard from your conversation. Anyways, besides your loving relationship, what do you want to do today?" He asked.
"I kind of just want to sit in the hot tub for 2 or 3 hours." I replied honestly.
"Fantastic." He grabbed my hand and led me over to the hot tub, which was empty. I sat cross legged in front of it and slipped off my dress before getting in. I made sure my hair stayed out of the water, as I did not want to have to dry it. "Do you want a drink? Like a soda or something?" He asked.
"Yeah, can I have a diet coke?" I asked, looking up at him.
"Sure, one sec." He sat down with his feet in the hot tub, and took of his t-shirt, so his was just in swim trunks. He put his shirt on top of my dress. "Be right back." He said, and headed off to the stand to get us drinks, when I felt an arm wrap around my waist.
"Hi, I'm Carter, what's your name Princess?" He asked.
"Oh," I squeaked out, "my name's Abigail." I smiled a tiny bit, a little uncomfortable at the prospect of his arm being around my bare waist.
"You're hot." He added smiling at me.
"Thank you, but, I kind of have a boyfriend." I scooted always bit, but his hand didn't leave my waist.
"Well, I don't see him here? Where is he Princess?" He asked, pulling me up against him, my eyes flitted around the room looking for help. "Where's your boyfriend babe?"
"Right here." I felt Hunters lips press against my cheek. "Here's your drink sweetheart." He handed me my diet coke. "And, who is this?" He asked sitting next to me.
"Carter, sorry dude, I didn't know she was spoken for." He finally took his hand off of my waist, but it was replaced by Hunters. "But, dang dude, good job." He smirked, "and Princess, sorry." He looked at me.
"Yeah, I got lucky didn't I?" I started to get pretty nervous.
"Yeah, well I'll leave you to it. Bye Princess." He got out of the hot tub, leaving me and Hunter, who's hand slipped off of my waist.
"Thanks." I said.
"No problem, I know a damsel in distress when I see one." He smiled, he was nice. My phone buzzed behind me, and I reached behind me to grab it. Josie texted.
(This has been circulating around school today.)
(I'm sorry)
I got kind of nervous, as a picture loaded on my phone, it popped up and I swear my heart stopped. In the picture there was a blonde kissing William, and to make it worse, he was holding her on his waist, holding her up by her butt. He had her backed into a wall. A tear fell from my eye before I could process it.
"What is it?" Hunter asked, and I handed him my phone, he grabbed it, and looked at the picture, "is this your boyfriend?" He asked. And I nodded, he set my phone behind me, and wrapped his arms around me. "I swear, it's his loss. Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm not sad, I'm pissed." I said.
"I take it you guys are done." He guessed.
"Yep, we've been together for 4 months. He told me he loved me on Friday. He also made a point to tell me he was serious."
"Scumbag. So you're single now?" Hunter asked.
"Yep." I shrugged, then sighed a little bit. "I should go." I got up, and grabbed my cover up dress. I started towards my room, and managed to make it to my bed before the tears started coming. I was crying my eyes out, and I picked up the hotel phone next to me. "Hi, do you guys have room service?" I asked, like a blubbering fool.
"Yes, would you like something?" A female voice responded.
"Yeah, can you get me, like, ice cream?" I asked.
"Sure, vanilla ok?" She asked.
"Yes, thank you so much"
"You're very welcome." Her chirpy voice responded and I hung up the phone. I collapsed into my pillows and started bawling. How on earth could he do this. I'm gone for one day and he chooses to cheat on me.
About 5 minutes later, I heard a knock at the door, which I scrambled to open. There was a lady standing there with a tray with a bowl of vanilla ice cream.
"Thank you so much." I said, grabbing the bowl and scurrying back to my bed, where I started shoveling the ice cream into my face. I heard another knock, this time at my door, I set my bowl down, "yes?" I asked.
"I figured out our Easter Bonnet skit!" Lin came in, "holy crap, are you ok?" He asked, noting my sitting in my bed with my mascara coating my cheeks. "What happened?" He sat next to me. I grabbed my phone, pulled up the picture and showed it to him. "What does this... It was taken today? Who the crap does he think he is? Oh my gosh, sweetie." He pulled me into a hug, "you two are done. Didn't he say I love you? Like, Friday? Oh my gosh, baby, I'm so sorry. This is awful. I can't believe he would do this. I let him into my home, I let him sleep in my home, in your room. I let him talk to you, I liked him." Lin's voice started getting progressively angrier.
"I told him I loved him." I sobbed.
"That's because you did." He reassured, then he pulled out his phone and started rapidly texting. I knew he was texting William. I laid back down in bed and resumed my pity fest. "I'll be right back." Lin stood up, leaving his phone out on the mattress next to me. I knew it was wrong, but, I couldn't help it.
(What's her name?)
(I know you cheated.)
(I saw pictures.)
(What. Is. Wrong. With. You.)
(She loves you.)
(I'm serious.)
(You should hear what she says when you're not there.)
(You should see how she looks at you when you're not looking at her.)
(She loves you.)
(You ruined it.)
(I let you into my apartment. Into her room, I let you sleep in her room, I trusted you. I talked to you.)
(Do you know what she's been through?)
(Do you know she has abuse nightmares?)
(I swear she is the sweetest person I've ever met, and you treat her like she's dirt.)
(Don't talk to her ever again.)
(Do. Not. Talk. To. My. Daughter. Ever. Again.)
I shut his phone off. I can't believe he cheated on me.
Thanks for reading! (Thoughts? Do you hate me? I'm so sorry...)
