My Bloody Valentine - Part 2
My heart was racing; I began to feel sweaty and hot, I knew I had to get out of there before he could make out where the sound came from. Being 5’8 means I have long legs for a girl, so speed walking away was relatively okay until I made the mistake of glancing back and saw him looking right in my direction.
I’m not sure if he saw me, but it couldn’t be helped I had to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. My body was so hot; I could feel the sweat patches underneath my arms, I kept on wiping my clammy hands on my top. I was confused with no idea what to do with myself, but I continued speed walking and thinking how could he have kept this a secret from me after all these years.
After stopping to take a breather, I looked around me to see where I was. Yet again I found myself in an area I didn’t know, my only option was to get an Uber cab home.
It didn’t take long for the cab to come, I calmed down whilst I was being driven home. Only though that was racing through my head, was how to confront him or should I wait for him to tell me.
I am now 25; I met John when I was 20. Before I met him I was an angry child always getting into fights. The last fight I was in, I just remember there being blood on my knuckles and bruise above my left eye. Apparently I almost killed the girl I was fighting but I can’t really remember. John is the reason why I decided to cool down and change for the better, I love him so much, and it’s just that he doesn’t know about my crazy past, or that my dad is a police officer.
Finally the car parks, I get out, run indoors and head straight for my bed. I fall onto my bed with my face looking upwards. Uncontrollable tears started sliding down my face, my nose became runny, and I just needed my dad to hold me tight then tell me everything was going to be okay.
After staring into space for a good 15minutes the loud buzzing sound of my phone brings me back to reality. I didn’t want to pick it up so I let it ring out, but it kept on ringing and ringing to the point where I could feel myself getting annoyed. I went through my bag to get my phone to see 4 missed calls from John.
My heart started beating rapidly; I was so scared beyond belief, could it be that he saw me in the park? I was losing it literally, and then the phone rang in my hand. I literally froze for a few seconds before answering.
“Sandra! Where have you been?”
“….”
“Hello? Am I talking to myself?”
I literally froze, I didn’t know what to say but I had to say something quick before he noticed something was up.
“I’m here! I’m here! I just woke up properly stop raising your voice.”
“Sorry, but have you seen the time? It’s almost six I’m picking you up soon.”
“I’ll be ready quick I promise darling!”
“Okay then that is fine and also, I could have sworn I saw some that looked just like you today.”
“Oh is it? Where was this?”
“Near a park, you could have twin.”
“I doubt I do. Babe, I know this is random but how do you feel about children?”
“Hate them man so annoying…why?”
“No reason just wanted to know.”
“Shut up.”
“Wait what?”
“No not you sorry my little cousin is being a brat…but have to go now see you at 9pm”
As soon as the phone went dead, I felt a sudden rush of rage take over me. He just lied to me; everything he said over the phone was completely different to what I saw with my own eyes. I was intoxicated with emotion I had no intention of ever feeling, but how am I supposed to confront him about this?
I decided to go ahead with whatever he had planned, as well as thinking up a way to confront him. I was ready by 8:15pm, which for me is pretty fast considering I started getting ready at 6:30pm. He arrived at 8:30pm with flowers, chocolate, and a big card. I was grateful but I was still hurting, to be honest, I just wanted to stab him in the neck but that wasn’t the type of person I am anymore.
“I hope tonight makes up for all the Valentines I’ve missed,” He said with a big smile on his face.
“Yeah it will I can tell already, it’s going to be a night we both won’t forget,” I responded knowing that this night would change the dynamic of our relationship. I really want to stay with him but if he has a child that means there’s a mother and I can’t be involved in that because I’ll really kill a bitch!
We sat in silence for a bit waiting for the cab he called. When the buzzer rang he told me to put on my shoes and that he’ll be waiting in the car for me.
As I put on my shoes I heard John shout out “Gloria wait!” followed by a loud bang noise. I hurried to the front door to see what was going on, and then to my shock I saw John on the floor with blood flowing from his body. My body froze I didn’t know what to do. I looked up at the door and I saw a woman in all black standing right opposite me with a gun.
“So you’re the Bitch that’s fucking my baby daddy!”
