Chapter 5

Look I get that I fuck up sometimes.

Ok maybe all the time. Like right now Harris is looking at me because I broke his phone.

He has no respect for women. What the actual hell is wrong with him.

"Sorry". I say looking at him. He just looks at me in disbelief.

"Fucking ugly, why did I have to get trapped with someone like her? Why god?." He says dramatically while looking up at the sky.

Then he grabs my hand really hard.

I know he did not just grab my hand like that.

"Look, Fugly. I have had enough of you. Breaking my phone, calling me a bitch, disrespecting me." Then he grabbed my hand harder. This was hurting me now.

"You WILL not disrespect me in my own house". He said angrily.

If he thought he was scaring me then he is majorly wrong.

All I felt was anger for this man. Petty excuse for a man.

But I just stayed quiet and took it. Because A, I have no excuse as to why I broke his phone. He probably thinks I'm doing it just to disrespect him. And B, if he knew me personally and the type of girl I am. He will fall in love with me. No argument there. Like have you met me?

"You probably don't even know what I'm saying do you?" He just looks at me in frustration.

Finally he let's go of my hand and just walks away.

Pussy.

During dinner the next day, I hear Lucy coming down from her room in tears.

So this monster did, what he said he would do.

He has given this beautiful women great sorrow.

Lucy sees me when she comes down and runs out the front door. I run after her.

"Lucy, Lucy".

She stops running for a second and looks at me with tears on her face. God she looks like an angel. A fallen angel.

That just shows how beautiful and innocent she is.

We just stand there in silence before I couldn't take it anymore and hugged the shit out of her.

She hugged me back and sobbing more than ever before.

"Rosanna, he called me a whore for giving into him easily".

She says while we pull apart. She looks at me in my eyes.

"He said that I have no morals. That I give him no excitement. That I'm pathetic. God he knows I gave him my virginity. And he still treated me like that."

I was shocked. She gave her virginity to him. And this is how he treats her. God, he's horrible.

"Joanna, I come from a religious family. I gave him everything because I thought eventually he would marry me. But he lied about everything. God you probably don't even know what I'm saying". She says with a sigh.

"But I do know everything that you're saying". I say.

She looks at me shocked.

"Wha... but.. he said.... you said..". She says with confusion.

"Shhh. Stop talking hun. I know it's shocking , but that piece of shit is really slow he wouldn't know a thing about anyone if you were a good actor".

"But why pretend?" Lucy says.

"Oh Lucy, hub, sweet innocent Lucy. Because I don't want nothing to do with him. I put on this ugly costume, I act like I don't speak English. So he could hate me and never speak to me".

She gasps.

"That's not how you look?"

"No, fake mole, fake teeth, fake moist ache hair, fake nose, fake hair, fake unibrow". I say.

"Wow. You must be pretty then, because even with all this getup I still thought you could be a little cute".

We both laughed.

I held her hands and a gesture of a older sister.

"Look Lucy, you're young. You're smart, beautiful, educated. You are heartbroken which is ok. Go home cry for however long you need too. But when you're finished, get back up and be the powerful women you are. Don't ever let a man tell you you're self worth. Because if you do then you'll let him succeed. But I see that you're kind. And I know there's a man out there. But before that man, find yourself a little first ok."

She just looks at me and cries before pulling me in for a hug.

"Thank you so much". She says while crying.

We pull apart and I look at her.

"I promise you one thing. That man inside there. I will make sure he apologizes to you, in front of everyone. I promise".

She looks at me. 'How?'

"You leave that to me hun. Now do visit me when that ugly thing inside there is not home. You know his office hours."

She looks at me and then wipes her tears.

"I will. I promise".

We both say our farewell and leave.

Well. He just lost a great women I tell ya. Men don't know what they got at times.

I come back home just in time before he comes down. Look like his majesty just finished from a nap.

He looks at me critically. Before going to the kitchen.

"Bitch". I mutter quiet enough. But he hears me.

"What you say". He says narrowing his eyes.

I just look at him and roll my eyes and go upstairs. Locking my room.

Of course he is gonna bang my door demanding me to opologize.

"You illiterate female. You may not know English but I know for a fact you know some bad words and you called me a bitch. Open this door". He says banging on the door.

I open it.

I look at him.

"Did you call me a bitch?"

He says calmly before the storm.

"Eh...yes." I say smiling and closing the door in his face.

He just stand there shocked.

Shocked with no words.

Well bitch you got more coming your way. Just you wait.
