Chapter Four- "You Don't Deserve It..."

Start from the beginning
                                    

Carina walked into my room and slowly shut the door. She was so gorgeous. Long black hair with bright blue eyes. She was so unique. She was everything I wanted to be and that made me so angry.

            “No.” I snapped.

            Stepping closer to me, she laid her ipod beside me with a pair of headphones wrapped around it.

            “You know, when I get really angry and everything seems to be going wrong, he makes everything better. It might sound crazy but it’s true. Try listening to him.”

            I rolled my eyes. This girl was insane.

            “Thanks but no thanks.” I said and turned onto my stomach, turning away from her.  I heard her let out a small sigh and she opened the door, shutting it quietly behind her.

            Sitting up to make sure she left, I noticed the ipod still sitting on top of the quilted blanket.

            “What the hell” I muttered grabbing it. “I’ve got nothing better to do.”

            Slipping the ear phones into my ears I pressed play as “Down To Earth” began to quietly sink into my ears, the lyrics hitting every emotion I’ve been trying to hide for so long and I began to weep.

            Carina must have been standing outside of the door because I heard her quietly sneak in and wrap her arms around me and I broke down, telling her everything.

Ever since that day not only did Carina become like my sister, but Justin Bieber became my lifesaver.

 

I felt a pang in my heart as I came back to reality. Maybe this was why it hurt so much. He was my life saver.  He was the one person who was always there for me when nobody else was. I wanted him so badly it was almost like I needed him. When he practically threw himself on me I knew I wasn’t going to say no. Maybe if I had told him about my parents he wouldn’t have left me. 

Get real my subconscious snapped.

            I sighed knowing she was right. That’s just who is, all he does is fuck people.

            Stepping out of the revolving doors leading me out to the big streets of New York City, I hauled over a cab.

            “Where to?” the cabdriver asked with a look of pity on his face. 

            I blushed realizing how shitty I looked.

“115 South Broadway.”

            I quickly slid into the back of the cab eager to get home to Carina and I’s apartment. I loved having a place to ourselves.

            When Carina and I became best friends she taught me to believe in myself. I always thought I was worthless, never good enough. But Carina reassured me that wasn’t true.

            “Soph” she muttered in disbelief. “How can you sit there and say you’re not pretty? You’re so stunning it’s not even funny.” She jumped on top of my bed and grabbed my hands. “Any guy would be crazy not to like you.”

            “That’s easy for you to say Carina. You have guys falling all over you. I’ve never had a boyfriend before, ever.”

I saw her eyes widen.

            “Sophia, we’re only 17. Be worried when you’re 40 with cats, not now. We have so much ahead to look forward to. Don’t worry about having a boyfriend. When the right one comes along, you’ll know.” 

            “Yeah I guess… I can’t believe we’re going to be seniors this year.”

            “Believe it babe!” She said, her blue eyes sparkling with excitement. “After we graduate and turn 18 we’ll have our own apartment completely to ourselves.”

 I grinned at the thought of that.

            “A home that’s ours… a permanent home.”

 

            As the cab driver pulled up to our apartment I slipped him a twenty and began to walk up the cobblestone steps. Reaching into my satchel pocket, I pulled out the house key and fumbled to unlock the door. After all this time I still can’t believe we had done it. I still can’t believe I had a permanent home.

Carina and I had graduated from high school last summer. Between my job at the diner and her job at the grocery store we had saved up enough money to buy our own apartment. Carina’s parents weren’t too fond of her moving in with me because they never actually liked me but I really didn’t give a shit.

Carina and I were both attending community college for two years. She wanted to be a doctor and I wanted to be… well I didn’t really know. I’m still trying to figure it out.

            Walking up to my room, my heart crushed into a million pieces as my eyes scanned my Justin posters. He was everywhere in here. From the side swept hair to when he changed it to be more upwards. He was perfect and the life size cut outs stared back at me and it was like he was actually here but he wasn’t. This wouldn’t be some fairytale that I thought it would be. Instead, I’ll just go back to my normal everyday life and pretend that I didn’t have sex with Justin Bieber because nobody in their right mind would believe me so I grabbed some clothes out of my dresser and went into the bathroom so I could take a shower.  

            I stripped myself of my clothes, the pain still radiating through me that sent me flashbacks of last night, reminding me that he left. I slowly let the tears escape my eyes and leaned over to turn the faucet on.

            Why did everything bad happen to me? Why couldn’t one thing just go right?

You don’t deserve it.

            Hearing my subconscious, I tried to block the words out but they remained there like a dagger in my heart. Sobbing, I slowly entered the shower, the hot water hitting my skin. I didn’t want to go to work tomorrow.  I didn’t want to think about him. I just wanted the world to stop so I could stand in this shower and cry my heart out. I wanted more than anything in the world to forget about last night and to forget about him.
