Chapter 3 Walked out

CONNOR'S POV

The next morning, Jeff woke me up with a kiss before leaving to get ready for work.

Come to think of it, I Never visited his work place and according to him, he worked as a manager to a construction company so anytime I suggest to visit his work place he would decline.

"My work place is not a safe for my Queen" he would always say with a kiss which always makes me forget and makes me feel so special and lucky for having such a loving and caring man in my life. He filled that void that I got from my loveless childhood and that really got me loving him more than I loved myself.

That morning started off normal but the only odd thing is Jeff didn't make nor eat breakfast. He kinda rushed out of the house.

Through out the times we lived together whenever he wakes up before me, he puts it upon himself to make breakfast but I didn't really reason it since he seemed like he was running late to work.

As he rushed out, I bade him goodbye and went straight to the room just to see his cellphone lying on the bed.

I picked it up only for a message to come in.

HI BABE, I'M WAITING FOR YOU AT THE BAR. DON'T KEEP ME WAITING. LOVE YOU!

As I read the message I remember I was shocked to my bones. I couldn't even move, I was rooted to the ground staring at his phone.

That was not the first time I'm seeing such message on his phone and the worst part of it all is that they were always coming from different girls as the names of the people that sent it were all feminine names.

I got myself moments later and decided to read through his chat with the girl who was Hei by name.

The name was quite weird, what is there in writing someone's full name, I muttered.

As I read through the chat, I found out that I didn't even know the human being I was dating.

Hei had a daughter for him who probably died after birth, and he was also a wanted criminal in Canada.

The whole thing was like a blow to me, I subbed for a while and decided to just wave everything off, maybe he's now a changed person and the fact he is hiding the fact that he once had a daughter from me may be because he doesn't want to hurt me.

These were the words I used to console myself just so I can feel better. That was how much I loved him, I was willing to live with his criminal history.

I can remember going to work that day without concentrating on what I was doing, I was typing a speech for my boss and I can remember using the word 'daughter' instead of 'taught her' and I used words like 'fuck' and meaningless gibberish.

My boss was going through it when he noticed the mistakes that I made. He was so furious at me, he deserved to be.

Immediately he was done confronting me about it, I was ordered to concentrate and prepare a better speech.

A few hours later at the office I was sent home by my boss.

"Connor, it's as if you are not in your right frame of mind today, go home and report back to the office tomorrow to finish the speech" he said, I thanked him and immediately walked out.

Well my Boss is actually the best person to work with, he relate to us like his children and he's always concerned about our welfare.

He's actually the best person I've worked with and he was like a father to us all.

As I packed to leave, my heart felt heavy and I just wanted to lay down and sleep for days.

I walked to my car and turned a relaxing music on.

I was driving on autopilot and before I knew it I was pulling into my driveway.

As I opened the car door and came down from the car, I saw Jeff standing by the door looking so angry which was unlike him.

He didn't wait for me to walk inside the house before he began yelling at me.

"You fucking slut! What did you do?" He yelled at me.

All I did was stare at him, completely confused, my heart shattered and my eyes filled with tears. He called me slut.

"I thought... that after all those years we have been together, you actually cared about me." I mumbled while my voice was trembling.

He just shook his head "Oh yeah Connor I definitely didn't care about you. But I guess you were too stupid and desperate to notice the big difference between us! I'm leaving you right now and don't even try to call or text me because I'm not coming back. You ruined it all yourself" he yelled.

Everything happened so fast and immediately he said those words to me my heart shattered into many pieces.

I cried and pleaded with him to at least tell me what I did wrong but obviously it seemed like he was looking for a way to leave me all along and that fateful day was his lucky day.

He went inside, grabbed his stuffs and quickly walked off to his car.

He just walked out of my life with no reason to give.

As soon as he shut the car door and drove off, I broke down once more. I went inside the house and fell onto the couch crying my eyes out.

When I came through I heard a voice calling my name.

"Hey babe, it's Heidi and I'm sorry if I scared you" She said

"What is the matter, why are you crying?" she asked as she came closer

"Jeff broke up with me" I cried

"What! why ? when?" she asked in shock

"I don't know, I can't tell, he didn't even tell me what I did wrong he just packed his things and left" I replied in tears.

She gave me a full glass of water and sat down next to me cursing Jeff and telling me it will all be fine and that everything was going to be okay.

She kept telling that to me until I finally stopped crying.

After some time passed she told me I should get some rest, I agreed and laid down on the bed.

It wasn't even 10 minutes before I fell asleep.

I woke up at 11 am only to see Heidi by my side.

She had slept over and that really made me so happy to have her, she actually knew how to take care of me when I'm down.

Heidi and I have been friends since when we were teenagers. We met in school and became good friends right away.

We were both the sort of people that would be best friends for our entire lives; we're alike in everything except for our personalities. Heidi is a kind and sweet girl who likes animals and dogs, she was more of the pink girly girl, I've always loved nature, dark colors, cats and horses.

Growing up I engaged more in riding bikes and playing soccer while she was the leader of our cheerleading team, she was so into fashion and I really supported her.

When you look at us you'll always assume that we look exactly like each other especially because of the fact we hang out every single day.

I love Heidi very much, she is the only true friend that had been there for me even after my parents died.

Her family took my brother and I in as their own. They supported the both of us till my grandma came and took us back.

My grandma was the only family we had but she died when we were almost done with college.

Her death wasn't much of a shock because she actually lived so long for my brother and I and I was really grateful for her and I'm really happy and I hope she's In a better place now.

As for Heidi, It got to a point I wanted to be her only friend, well I'm also quite possessive and I have to admit that I'm always jealous when she's around guys because it seems like she gets closer and closer to them forgetting me entirely but when it comes to guys she likes I keep off and let her get as close as she wants with him.

My friendship with her was literally all I cherished.

She made a lot of bad experiences a lot easier and sincerely she's making my break up with Jeff easy too.

Most times I wish I never met him that fateful day at the hospital but other times I just wish I was not born.
