Chapter seven
I could not believe it. I had to look twice, no more, like thrice or maybe even a quadruple of times before I realized that it was indeed real. Chancellor and Fashia stood right in front of me holding hands and looking at each other like there was no one else in the world.
-WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. F*CK?!
-Who do you think you ar- Meg- Meghan? What are you doing here?
Fashia said as she jerked her hand away from Chancellor's grip.
-What am I doing here? What are you doing here if I can ask? And why were you holding each other's hands like that? You know that I am the one dating Chancellor right? I thought we were friends!
As I continued rambling I could feel my voice breaking more and more, I felt the tears burning behind my eyelids that I just had closed shut. I could not stand seeing them right at that moment.
-Well since you were going to break up with him anyway because of you DuTiEs As A sOoN tO bE pAcKlEaDeR we thought that it would be better if we started dating so that he wouldn't be completely heartbroken when it was time. Plus did you ever think that he was truly in love with you? If you did then you are more stupid than I thought. I mean, look at you. To begin with, you aren't pretty, plus we know that you are faking it when being rude towards Lizzie.
She continued rambling about stuff that she knew would hurt me down to the core. What hurts the most though was the fact that Chancellor didn't even try to stop her. He just let her continue as if I didn't mean anything to him. Soon enough though the store owner came and kicked both Fashia and Chancellor out of the store. I could see some pity in his eyes as he left the store but I honestly couldn't care less after what had just happened. He could feel how much pity he wanted. I will never again care for him. The store owner's name was Alicia and she took me back into the kitchen in the back of the store where only staff had access. She then proceeded to give me a hot chocolate and started to tell me a story about when she was young. To my surprise, it was pretty comforting and I didn't want her to stop talking. I couldn't believe what had just happened. How long had they been going behind my back and were they ever going to tell me? Did Chancellor truly feel bad or did he just feel bad that I found out about them? How would I ever be able to trust someone again after this? So many questions going through my head but I knew that I wouldn't get an answer to even one of the questions today. That was when I remembered that I sat in the store and snapped back to reality, away from my thoughts.
-Thank you so much for the hot chocolate Mrs...
-Call me Alicia, you don't have to be formal towards me my dear.
-Thank you again, Mrs- sorry, Alicia, but I think I will look for a new necklace, and then I will head out.
-No problems, and by the way, your new necklace, whichever you may choose, is on the house. No need to pay. I am already going plus this month so it wouldn't hurt to give one away to such a beautiful young lady like you.
-Thank you, you are an everyday hero.
-Now go, pick out your necklace and go home or do whatever you teenagers do nowadays.
- I sure will.
I said that with a slight smile on my lips. Just as I looked to my left a beautiful necklace caught my eye. I went a little closer to the shelf with the necklace I could see more and more details. It was a golden chain with a tiny charm that had a green crystal. I think that crystal is called green calcite. I have heard some stuff about it so I know that it is known for enhancing inner peace, self-confidence and helps clear away negativity from your life. That is a stone I would need now wouldn't it? Perfect timing haha. I gripped it and put it on. It felt as it had always belonged to me. I walked up to the closest mirror and it looked stunning. At that moment I knew I wouldn't regret my choice. It was clear, of course, I would have this necklace. But I couldn't help myself so I looked at the price tag. 50 bucks? No way I could leave without at least paying half of it, she had been so nice to me. It would just be rude if I left without paying a dime. I walked up to the checkout and took out 25 bucks before I left.
Before walking home I went to the grocery store and bought ice cream and a movie that I could watch when I came home. It felt like I needed that. It is probably the smartest thing to do as well. Go home, binge-watch sad and romantic movies while sitting under a blanket and eating ice cream. I would be home alone as well by the time that I come back so I could cry however much I wanted without having to worry about telling everyone else what had happened while I was away. It took me twice as long to walk home since I didn't even have half the energy that I had before going to town. Could you blame me though? I had just seen my now ex-boyfriend with my ex-best friend making out with their eyes. Honestly, I hope they burn in hell, or at least that they have a bad ending with them both hurting and begging me for forgiveness that I won't give them. I won't give them the priviledge to first ruin me to later come and try to patch everything up with tiny plasters. Nuh-uh. Never. I am worth more than those two. I am worth so much better. To begin with Chancellor wasn't even that good of a boyfriend.
