Died A Liar

Chapter 35: BECKY!

I get lost in my thoughts when Ginny started barking like crazy.

"Ginny! Stop!" I said pulling the lunging dog by her collar.

She was about to lung at a pitbull.

The pitbull lunged at her and started sniffing her.

"I'm so sorry." A guy said grabbing the stray dog's leash.

"No problem." I said grabbing Ginny's leash.

I looked at the guy about my age.

Red hair, beanie, tall, cute, and fresh clean shave.

"Hi! I'm Jack. Jack Lenard." He said sticking out his hand.

"Becky. Becky Matthews." I said shaking his hand.

"I noticed you were a little down. Wanna get some coffee and chat?"

"Thanks."

"No problem."

We dropped our dogs off at a local daycare and went to get coffee at a shop.

"I'll have a vanilla ice tea." I said to the cashier.

"And I'll have a cinnamon mocha with whip cream." He said finishing off the order.

"That'll be $12.63." The cashier said.

He payed and we walked outside to the benches.

"Thanks for the ice tea." I said sipping my drink.

"No problem. So, why were you sad?" He asked.

"Well my fiancé brought his brothers and his dad over to stay for 2 weeks, and it has been torture."

"Oh wow. What did they do?"

"Well they sprayed water at me, took photos of me only in my underwear and bra, and bossed me around."

"That must suck."

*ONE HOUR LATER*

"It does... Well... It was nice meeting you."

"Same. Could I have your number?"

"Sure."

I gave him my number and we went to go get our dogs.

*AT HOME*

"Where have you been?" Zach yelled as I walked through the door with Ginny.

"On a walk." I replied taking the leash off Ginny.

"Who was that guy you were with?"

"... What guy?"

"Don't act dumb, I read your mind!"

"Ok. His name is Jack."

"What were you doing with him?"

"Getting coffee!"

"Oh really?"

"Yeah! Not like you and Mollie!"

"You know... It's hard for me to love someone like you..."

"WHAT? LIKE WHAT?" I yelled.

"A FUCKING LIAR." He spat at me.

He realized wha he said and started to apologized.

"Becky. I'm so sorry. I was just mad and you're not a liar." He said trying to pull me in for a hug.

I pushed him away and ran into my room.

I grabbed my bookbag and tossed my clothes, chargers, computer, and hair stuff.

I walked out the room and got Ginny's leash.
