《First one》Forty-Four: that's disgusting
Advertisement
The bucket of ice Bells was holding stood on the table as she walked to the front door. She turned around and her eyes met mine but no matter how sad she looked it couldn't calm my anger even though my stomach twisted and turned when I saw how hard she was trying to hold back her tears. She picked up her shoes not even bothering to put them on as she went out the door as fast as she could.
My front door flew shut and as soon as the sound of it echoed through the living room, I was taken aback by a hand swatting at my chest.
"Fucking asshole!" Mia yelled at me while backhanding my chest and I tried to push her out of my way so I could get some peace in the comfort of my bedroom. I looked at her with dark eyes, trying my best to make it clear I didn't want to talk, I just wanted to sulk, by myself to be exact. I reached for my doorknob opening the door just a crack but as stubborn as always Mia pulled the door shut, her hand over mine. "You're not running away this time!" She yelled almost deafening me.
"Leave me alone!" I barked at her, rolling my eyes when she stood between me and the door, her arms crossed in front of her chest.
"Not a chance! Why did you do that? What the fuck is wrong with you!" She barked back, putting her hands in her side and I knew she wasn't going to move out of the way on her own.
"Get out of my way Mia!" I scoffed while pushing her to the side, her ridiculous high heels causing her to lose her balance and stumble away from the door. I quickly entered my room trying not to explode in the prosses because I was still beyond furious and confused by what happened half an hour ago.
"If you ever push me again, I will wax your eyebrows in your sleep, and trust me that's not a look you could rock, ever!" Mia yelled as she followed me into my room. Fucking hell, I should have locked the door behind me.
"Leave. Me. The. Fuck. Alone!" I yelled, my voice furious and scary. I sat down on the end of my bed trying to keep it together because slowly I was falling apart, caused by something that confused me more than anything, I just couldn't wrap my mind around it, and I needed time to think.
"No! Tell me why you acted like a fucking dick and I'll leave you alone. Not that's anything different from usual, but to Bella? Fuck you Lukas for threating her that way!" Mia spitted at me but I had my reasons...
"It's none of your business!" I said, putting my hands on my knees. Mia stood in front of me, her eyes judging me. I squeezed my legs to control myself from an inevitable outburst, because I was cooking on the inside, feeling of disgust and disappointment clouding my mind.
"It became my business the moment you put your fucking dick in MY best friend!" She yelled, her voice high and angry.
"Pff so what!" I blurted out without thinking it through, rolling my eyes at her.
"So what? So what? Are you kidding me! She's not one of your fucking sluts Lukas! Fuck I want to punch you in the face for saying that!" Mia yelled, squeezing her eyes at me and I knew she was trying her everything not to smack me.

"I don't know...Maybe she is!" I scoffed even though I didn't mean it whatsoever, she was so much more but at this point I didn't know what to feel. Before I could blink my eyes, I was seeing stars because Mia slapped me in the face, my cheek burning with a flat hand pattern, and I knew I probably deserved it. I stood up towering over her but with Mia, intimidation never works especially not when she's angry and I had never seen her this furious in my entire life.
"Wake up! Mom would be so fucking disappointed with you right now." She yelled at me pointing her finger at my chest.
"You're not mom Mia, don't try to lecture me!" I snapped pushing her to the side, trying to escape this fucking nightmare as I walked into the living room desperately looking for my car keys. I needed to punch someone, I needed to get out before I was going to burst.
"You're a mess!" She yelled before I felt a pillow hit the back of my head making me turn around furiously. If she wasn't a girl or my sister of would have thrown a fist. "I knew you would fuck it up! I don't care if you ghost your regular party sluts but Bella? She likes you fucking idiot!" Mia yelled at my face as she came closer with every word. Hearing her say Bells liked me filled my heart because I was in love with her, at least I thought so. I just so fucking confused. My head dropped, looking down at the floor realizing I hurt her, again, but all I needed was time to think.
"Mia stop it... I told you I don't want to talk about it." I said, my tone calm, trying my best to keep the peace in this apartment even though I want to demolish it at this very moment.
"No, I'm not going to stop! You fucking slept with her Luke and the day after you treat her like absolute shit! What is wrong with you! You should be on your fucking knees for this girl you asshole, because you don't deserve her, not one bit of her. And despite all the shit you pull she still has feelings for you. And now you fucked it all up, again and again. When will you ever stop?" She ranted while I kept looking at my feet realizing the truth in every one of her words.
"I have my reasons, trust me." I said, almost whispered as I rubbed my eyes trying to get rid of any emotion or tears that were building up behind them.
"Enlighten me Luke, cause I can't think of a good enough reason for you to act the way you just did."
"Aaargg you're never going to give up, are you?" I growled with frustration as I put my hands in my pockets both of us still standing in the middle of the living room.
"What do you think?" Mia said, waiting for a decent explanation with her hands in her sides.
"Fine!" I yelled, giving up on a battle I wasn't going to win anyways. I paused, rubbing my eyes once again before pinching the bridge of my nose, disgusted by what I was about to tell. "I went to grab coffee during my break this afternoon and when I got back to the shop bastard Drew was sitting in Rodrigo's chair." The anger inside me building up with every word that I reluctantly pushed passed my lips.

"What has that to do with how you acted?" Mia scoffed at me not putting the puzzle pieces together.
"Let me finish!" I scoffed. "Seeing him at my place of work made me so fucking mad but that's not all. He was getting a new tattoo! No harm done right?" I said while pacing through the living room until I reached the table and leaned my hands on it, grabbing the edges. "Until I saw what he was getting! Rodrigo was tattooing Isabella's name on his wrist! MY Isabella! On HIS wrist!" I yelled, slamming both my fists onto the wooden table not even wincing at the pain it caused. "I was standing behind them, the asshole didn't even notice I was there while he was telling Rodrigo all about how he's so in love with his new girlfriend, and that she's the one making him a better person... Fucking bastard I wanted to killed him but I ran out. I'm already on my last straw in the shop for several other reasons. Considering it now I should have strangled him even if it meant getting fired!" I yelled, cussing at the air in front of me before punching the table again, slightly cracking the wood. Shit.
"Fuck that's disgusting." Mia said, frowning her brows at me her eyes wandering to my fist, which was clearly busted, not even letting the previous wound heal properly.
"I know right! I never thought Bells would be like that! She must have been seeing him behind my back! I'm so confused! Everything was great between us..." I scoffed, trying to wrap my head around Drew's words.
"Lukas." Mia tried to interrupt but I wasn't letting her, now that I was going, I needed to get if off my chest completely.
"I don't get it... We slept together! I would have never touched her if I had known she was still seeing Drew! I yelled, trying to keep myself together cause the one time I love a girl, she's betraying me I the worst way possible. "I know we haven't put a label on it yet, but come on that's cheating, I won't be cheated on Mia!"
"Lukas!" Mia's voice tried to intercept my stream of thoughts again but still I had some things to say.
"Fuck! I'm so confused! I don't know what to do Mia. I thought I was in love with her and now I don't know what to feel!" I sighed while leaning against the table, rubbing my face with my hands. "He tried to fucking assault her! Why would she go back to him! Did you know? You knew didn't you! Fucking hell if you kn-" I yelled at Mia, trying to connect some dots, trying to understand what was happening.
"Lukas shut the fuck up for a second!" She yelled, putting her hands on my shoulders, her eyes looking at me with concern. "You're wrong!" She said her hands squeezing my shoulders and pulling me out of an endless stream of thoughts.
"What do you mean I'm wrong? I know what I saw, I know what I heard! Why else would he get a tattoo of MY girl on his fucking wrist! Don't you see, she's not MINE to have!" I shook my head, not making any sense of the situation.
"Sit down." Mia said as she walked away to the kitchen and for once I took her advice and sat down on the couch, letting my head fall back as I pinched my nose, the frustration and confusion giving me a headache. "Here for your hand." Mia said while giving me a frozen icepack wrapped in a towel. I hissed when the pack touched my fist, trying to remind myself to never hit a wooden table again.
"Is there something I'm missing here? Or are you going to tell me it's true." I asked her, as she sat down on the couch next to me.
"Drew is obsessed with her! She's not seeing him behind your back Lukas, not at all. If anything, he scares her. She told me she saw him in class today. He asked her for another chance, to forgive him. He basically confessed his love for her. Isabella rejected him Lukas, I'll spell it: RE-JEC-TED. The creep kind of scared her by telling her he would never give up." Mia said and with each word it became blacker before my eyes, leaving me in complete darkness by the end of her sentence. Fuck! While the weight of picturing them together and the heartache of betrayal got lifted off my shoulders the weight of jumping to conclusions, not trusting her and hurting her, hit me right in the face.
"I'm an idiot! Fuck!" I yelled when it hit me, I was wrong, and I had no right reason to treat Isabella like that. I didn't even bother to listen, let alone explain why I felt like I needed space.
"You think? You're always acting on what you think you know, instead of hearing people out. An impulsive prick, that's what you are." Mia said while softly backhanding my chest again. "Bella deserves so much better!" She said, her tone soft, meaning no harm just the siple truth.
"Don't you think I know that!" I snarled at her while beating myself up and imagining to kill Drew with my bare hands. "I'm going to kill him!" I said while jumping up from the couch, my eyes looking for my keys.
"No, you're not!" Mia yelled, pulling me back on the couch by my hand. "If there's one thing you need to do, it's making things right with Bella!" Mia almost yelled in my ear.
"I can't... You said it yourself! I don't deserve her!" I tried to convince myself that I have hurt her enough.
"You certainly don't! But you just admitted you think you love her! That's enough for me." She looked at me trying to convince me of her words.
"If you love somebody, set them free, right... That's what they say." I blurted out, desperately throwing my hands in the air but the thought of letting her go, made me feel like losing everything that matters in my life.
"That's what stupid people say who watch too much movies, read too many books and listen way too much to Sting music... If you love her, you should fight for her!" Mia tried to talk some sense into me, but I wasn't sure if I should or could fix this.
