Chapter 6:Sophia’s instincts

Mia's POV

'You kissed Logan Adams' Sophia's high pitched voice echoed through the whole house.

'shhhhh, you don't want my mother to hear this' I whispered

'It wasn't intentional and it meant nothing, he probably won't even remember that it happened because he was drunk' I told her.

'Oh my God, you're serious so it did happen' she said.

'I didn't mean to. Just that I saw James approaching me while i was talking to Adams, I wanted him to know that if he could flirt with other girls so could I with other men' I explained

'I'm sorry about Jacob Mia, I shouldn't have told you I saw him with someone' she apologised

'You did good, you saved me and that makes you a good friend so thank you' I said sincerely while reaching out to hold her hands.

'You should have seen them, he kept kissing her Soph, she was all over him and he loved every bit of it, his face portrayed it' I complained to Sophia.

'He doesn't deserve you honey, don't sweat it for him' she hugged me.

'Maybe I didn't appear girly most at times, it's partly my fault, maybe that's he cheated, but I love my clothes' I said

'Don't say things like that, Jacob is a jerk unworthy of your love, anyone who has been close to you should be able to see that you are beautiful in and out' she comforted me, I smiled and mouthed a thank you to her.

'I wonder what Logan Adams was doing at a place like that though' Sophia said when she pulled away from the hug.

'I don't want to imagine, maybe he had a problem and wanted to drink it away' I chipped in

'Rich people always have funny and weird problems, I can bet that what took him to that place wasn't so much of a big deal' Sophia added and we both burst into laughter.

'Rich people aren't very different from us, you know, they experience their own share of troubles' I told Sophia and I believe it's true after all, they are humans too.

There was a brief moment of silence but Sophia broke it.

'I still don't know what you saw in Jacob that made you love him that much' she said

'Haven't you heard that love is blind' I joked

'Yea I heard love is blind but I didn't hear it was foolish, I tried to warn you so many times but he always managed to find a way to get into your head' Sophia said to me.

'Well, I'm glad I followed him today, I just trusted him so much' I said

'Are you sure you are okay' Sophia asked me

'I'm good I promise' I assured her

'Normally, girls tend to cry and weep after a break up, but you are acting so cool about it and it bothers me' she said

'I'm hurt, yes, but there's nothing I'll do that will change what has happened today, he doesn't deserve my tears and besides I think it was long coming' I told Sophia.

'You are doing good, come here' she opened her arms wide and I didn't waste time diving right into them.

Sophia is younger than I am but she's always looking out for me like she's a big sister.

'I'll go home now Mia' Sophia told me

'Ok, I'll see you off Soph' I told her while she prepared to leave.

We walked to the living room where my mum was seated watching TV.

I told mum I was going to walk Sophia home as her house wasn't very far from mine, they exchanged their goodbyes before we left.

I was now going back home and alone, my heart ached so bad. Yes I don't want to cry but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt, I wondered where I went wrong with him. I was always very supportive, I loved him with all his flaws even the times he hurt me, I covered up for him because I thought every relationship had its own problems. He cheated on me.

'You've been such a fool, you should have known' I told myself. All the recent moody behaviour, cancelling most of our meetings, he's been physically and emotionally unavailable for a while, another girl had his attention.

'Mia' someone called me from behind, scaring me.

I turned around only to see that it was Jacob. My mood turned sour, I can't believe he still had the courage to face me after what he did.

I kept walking, I didn't stop, I didn't even want to stop.

'Hey babe, slow down' he said, grabbing me by my left arm but I pulled away.

'What do you want jacob?' I asked him

'Oh so now it's Jacob, no more baby?' he asked me

'Did you hit your head somewhere, you don't expect me to call you that after what happened last night, you don't deserve it' I vented

'Baby, it wasn't like that, she means nothing to me in fact she came onto me, I love you babe come on stop being mad, you know I love only you' he ranted

'You must think I'm a fool because I love you Jacob' I said

'Now, why would you say that' he simply asked

'I should have left you before now, there were so many red flags but I just kept ignoring them. People talked about your infidelity towards me but I didn't believe them because each time I confronted you about them you managed to convince me, but when my best friend friend said she saw you with someone else I couldn't ignore and it turned out you just happened to be a liar, you lied when you cancelled our meetings and all, you've been lying to me' I said pushing my hands against his chest as the words left my mouth.

'So this is all Sophia, she did this to us. What if she's just jealous of what we have, baby come on open you eyes' he tried holding me hands

'You are so good, after everything I said you could only pick on the Sophia part?? I yelled

'You and I know that Sophia has never liked me' he said

'Her instincts are always right because you just turned out to be a jerk, now leave me alone' I said

'Who was that guy you kissed last night' he asked me when I was about to leave

My lips curved up into a smile, so it worked.

'It's none of your business' I counted each word as it left my mouth.

'I beat him up so bad last night' he confessed and I panicked

'Why would you do something like that?' I asked him

'I thought he was messing with you but turns out you initiated the kiss in the first place' he said

'Why are you doing this Mia?' he asked me with anger visible on his face.

'Same reason you cheated on me' I simply said

'So what now?' He asked me

'I'm done, I have tolerated enough of your excesses, this sham of a relationship is over, I'm tired of you constantly disrespecting the love I have for you and thank you for wasting my time' I said

'We said for better or worst times' he joked at a time such as this

'We aren't married, save the drama' I said

'If you want I'll marry you tomorrow, babe I'm sorry' he said and I laughed from inside

'What kind of man is caught cheating on his girlfriend in one night then he wants to marry same night, you are evil for saying that to me' I lashed out at him

'Baby just calm down, you are just mad right now' he tried to persuade me but I think my mind had already been made up.

'You are right Jacob, I'm mad and I want to stay mad at you forever because its are over' I told him

'No, it's not over until I say so' he said, pressing a little too hard on my wrists, he had that look on his face when he wanted to say or do something hurtful to me.

'Let go, Jacob you're hurting me again' I begged him.

'I'm sorry I didn't mean to. I'll change, I promise just don't leave me' he begged me. This is not the first time he pulled off a stunt like this, I always agreed but today is different because he was with someone else.

'I'm sorry' I simply said and left him there.

I heard him call my name many times but I didn't look back, Jacob is now a closed chapter to me.

I felt bad for poor Logan who got beaten up because of me, I hoped he's doing well.

I don't know what gave me the gods to kiss Logan Adams last night, I was bent on making Jacob feel what I was feeling. I just hope he doesn't recognise me.
