One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 19: Speak up, Samantha!

~~~Oh, it hurts the most 'cause I don't know the cause. Maybe I shouldn't have cried when you left and told me not to wait. Oh, it kills the most to say that I still care. Now I'm left trying to rewind the times you held and kissed me back. I wonder if you're thinking 'Is she alright all alone?' I wonder if you tried to call but couldn't find your phone. Have I ever crossed your thoughts because your name's all over mine...~~~ -Nightcore-

A loud gasp escaped from me when he slammed his hand on the roof of his car. And so my tears fell at the same time. Although he didn't exactly mention who was 'her' that he's referring, there's no other girl I know in his life... it's Cherry. So they broke up... I didn't know how they split, but one thing is for sure, they're no longer in a relationship.

But why am I not happy after knowing that they broke up? Is it because I could see the pain in his eyes? Or is it because he loved her which I know he will never feel for me?

"I - I'm s-sorry..." I tried to say between my sobs, lifting my hand over my chest as I felt the pain coming from within.

"Sorry? Do you think you can turn everything back just because you said sorry?" He asked, his eyes flaring with anger.

I didn't answer him or should I say I don't know how to answer his question. Can I turn back the time? Can I undo what I've done?

"Get out of my face, Samantha, before I forget you're the mother of my child!"

"But Luke---"

"I said get out of my face!"

I just took a step back but I didn't move after that. I remained standing in my spot, crying as I watched him repeatedly banged his hands in his car.

'Luke...' I called him when he hopped inside the car, but my voice just came out a whisper.

I had no choice but to cry and watch him leave until he finally disappeared from my sight.
