Holly's P.O.V
"That's it, I'm done with you and your cheating!" I said as I walked out of his New York apartment, as I walked out tears poured out of my eyes. " Holly! Holly, come back here! Holly!" Said my Ex Boyfriend, Jonah. I ran to the elevator hoping he wasn't behind me, I push the button and the doors slide open I checked behind me once again, he was coming closer so I ran inside the elevator he was getting closer and closer, I sighed I relief as the doors closed meaning I was safe. As soon as I got out of the elevator I ran to my car, started the engine and went home. I got home and ran to my room crying. "honey are you okay" said my mother running after me. I slammed my bedroom door behind me, then I heard a knock on my door knowing it was my mother i didn't move on my bed, "honey? Can I come in?" Said my mom, I get up from my bed and open the door, as she walked in I started to cry again " oh honey what happened? " she said " Jonah cheated on me again." I said " oh honey there are so many other guys out there! And remember your just one more broken heart away from your happily ever after!" " thanks mom I needed that!" I got up and said " do you mind leaving me alone for a bit? I need to write some stuff down." She nodded and I have her a hug. As soon as she left I ran to my desk and wrote down what I like in a guy
- Smart
- Handsome
- Good grades
- Likes pancakes
I scribbled that last one out because it was weird, I almost started to write again but I started to think about Jonah again. I shook it off and started to write again. Once I was done with my list I went downstairs to see my mom making supper and my brothers, Quincy and Ramone, sitting on the couch with my father watching the baseball game. I go to the kitchen to help my mom with supper. When we're done cooking I call the boys for supper, they get up and slowly walk over trying to watch the game still, when they dished up they go straight back to the couch to finish watching the game. After we finish supper and cleaning up I go to my room to start my homework. After I finish my homework I grab my phone and called Aria, my best friend.
Holly- Hey Ari, what's up?
Aria- nothing just cuddling with Ryan, you?
Ryan is Aria's new boyfriend I like him he's just not very smart, I mean he's definitely not going to Harvard, but he does have a scholarship with baseball, so he probably going to a sports college, mean while I don't need a scholarship with my grades all A+ in every class!
Holly- Oh really? Have you guys kiss yet?
Aria- No! you know that we're taking it slow, plus I'm not ready for that!
Holly- Okay! I have to tell you something, I broke up with Jonah. He cheated on me again!
Aria- What! OMG! I'm coming over right now! I'm bringing tissues!
Holly- Thanks, but your having date night with Ryan.
Aria- I'm here! You got to remember that Ryan lives two houses down from you.
Holly- Just get up here!
I hung up the phone and ran to the door to open it. Aria was just at the door when I pulled it open, she walked in and pulled me into a hug. " I'm so sorry! I will go beat him If you want?" She said. I laughed And shook my head no, when she let go of me, we walked over to my bed and and turned in my tv, changing the channel to Greys Anatomy.
• The next day •
Since it was a Saturday Aria stayed over. We got through 7 seasons during the whole night, Aria fell asleep at 4 and I fell asleep at 5 I wanted to watch one more episode. I woke up at 9 and went to the bathroom to go and shower. I step out of the shower and quickly grabbed my towel, I grabbed my clothes and went to my room to change. Aria was still sleeping so I went inside my closet to get changed. I wore a black tank top with a loose navy blue t-shirt that cut at the stomach over it, jeans with ripped holes at the knee and black/white checkered vans. I stepped out of my closet to see Aria up and on her phone. I went downstairs to get some breakfast to see my father talking to Jonah. " what the...... Dad! Get him out of here!" Jonah looked around and saw me and came over to me trying to kiss me but before he could do anything I slapped him, my dad grabbed his arm and threw him out of the house, I went up to my dad and screamed " DAD! WHY WOULD YOU BRING HIM HERE?! AFTER HE CHEATED ON ME!" He looked surprised by my outburst and said " He cheated on you! I'm sorry honey I didn't know about that, you never really told me what happened so I didn't ask. " he hugged me and made me, Quincy, Ramone, and Aria some pancakes to eat for breakfast. When we finished our pancakes my dad left for work and the boys needed a ride to baseball practise and I was the only one home that could drive so we decided to go to the mall and drop the boys off. As we pull into the parking lot of the mall, my phone starts to buzz I park and check who it is, Jonah I let it ring so it went to a recorded message, I turned my phone off and we headed inside. First we got Starbucks, then went to Forever 21 to try on clothes. After trying on clothes we left to pick up the boys I checked the time to see 12 messages from Jonah, I deleted every single message I didn't want to hear what he had to say. Once we got home Aria said her mom wanted her home so we said goodbye and she left. I started supper for the boys and I considering my mom and dad both worked that tonight so I had to cook. When we finished our meals the boys cleaned up the kitchen while I went to my room to finish greys anatomy. When I was done the series I went downstairs to see if the boys wanted to watch a movie with me. I walked through the kitchen and saw a note it said
' Holly, Quincy and I went to a party since we love you could you possible cover for us? Thx, Ramone.'
And just like that I was home alone again like always, " ugh, I hate it when I have to cover for them, but this time I won't because they never get in trouble!" I said. I grabbed the leftover pizza I made and warmed it up in the microwave. I heard the beep and got up from our grey sofa and went to go grab it. After I finished my pizza I called the boys to make sure they weren't drinking.
" hello?"
" hey, you aren't drinking are you?"
" nope, we I'm not but Ramone is!"
" What! Grab Ramone and come home now! you guys shouldn't even be drinking anyways, your 15 years old!"
" I know that's why I'm not drinking, I didn't even want to go but Ramone told me I have to go or else he'll tell my girlfriend I cheated!"
" whatever, just get home now!"
I hung up and put my phone away, and dat down on the couch and flipped through the channels till I found Keeping up with the Kardashians. I heard a knock on the door and knew it was Quincy, I opened the door and Jonah smacked me across the cheek making me stumble to the ground, I screamed but he covered my mouth with his hand, then I saw a guy run in a push Jonah away from me I blacked out before I could see who it was.
Please don't hate on this is my first book ever so I'm trying to make it sound good so please don't hate it.
